National Scrapbooking Day


Hey everyone. Finally getting around to sharing a couple layouts that I created for National Scrapbooking Day/Weekend. There were so many challenges/events to take part in. I decided to take part in some challenges from Cocoa Vanilla Studio. The first was a sketch challenge. I used the 'Wild at Heart' collection from Cocoa Vanilla for this layout of my daughter and grandson.





The second challenge was to scrap lift a layout from a member of the Cocoa Vanilla design team. There were so many gorgeous pages to choose from. I decided to choose a page from Anna Komenda. Once again I used a line from Cocoa Vanilla. This time I went with their new collection called 'Legendary'.


Absolutely LOVE all things from Cocoa Vanilla Studio. Hope you had a chance to play along with some of the challenges. Thanks for stopping by.

The Boys


Hey everyone. There's a fun shape challenge at The Studio Challenges today. You are to use 3 squares, 2 circles and 1 triangle. I used 3 larger squares of pattern paper behind my photo. For the circles I used 1 flair button and 1 punched circle and for the triangle I used a flag with the word fun. I used the 'Legendary' collection from Cocoa Vanilla Studio for this page of my grandson and his dad. For the background I totally scrap lifted a page from Vicki Boutin. Using distress ink I first applied some with the packaging technique. I then stencil stamped and stamped with the ink. I also stamped using the same colour in distress paint. Finally I added splatters with watered down distress ink. Absolutely love how it turned out. For added texture I also added some cheese cloth behind half of my photo. Below are some close ups. Thanks for stopping by.

Eat, Sleep, Scrap, Repeat


Hey everyone. There's a new challenge at The Studio Challenges today. I would also like to welcome 3 new designers to the team. The challenge is to create a page about scrapbooking, as National Scrapbooking Day was last weekend. I decided to create a layout about my love of scrapbooking and how my creative process has changed. I used the beautiful 'Bohemian Dream' line from Cocoa Vanilla Studio for my page. For the background I used watered down distress ink and applied it using  the packaging technique and stencil stamping. Below are some close ups. Thanks for stopping by.

Be Yourself


Hey everyone. I have a layout that was inspired by a sketch challenge at My Stamping Studio. I was also inspired from a mood board challenge at Cocoa Vanilla Studio for International Scrapbook Day. I used the 'Teen Spirit' line from Echo Park Paper for this page of my nephew's school picture. For the background I used watered down distress ink and applied it with the packaging technique and stencil stamping. Below are some close ups. Thanks for stopping by.

Everyday Moments


Hey everyone. Happy National Scrapbooking Day/Weekend!!! Hope you had a chance to take part in some of the activities. There was A LOT happening!! I took part in some of the fun at Cocoa Vanilla Studio and will be sharing those pages in the next couple days. Today I have a layout that was inspired by the Tic Tac Toe challenge at The Studio Challenges. I went with the right side column which was enamel dots, washi tape and tag. I used Vicki Boutin's 'Let's Wander' collection for this page of my daughter and grandson. Love this line!! For the background I used watered down art crayons and applied the colour with the packaging technique and stencil stamping. Below are some close ups and the challenge. Thanks for stopping by.
