Meet Beau

Hey everyone. Meet Beau! Beau is one of our new black lab puppies. A layout of his sister Ruby will follow soon. Beau's page is based on the second October sketch at Stuck?!Sketches. I used Simple Stories' 'So Rad' pattern paper and letter/word sticker sheet. For the background I used a star stencil from The Crafters Workshop. Using a couple of different sized plastic containers, I stamped the circles and then added some splatters. The wood veneer stars are from Studio Calico. When the page was first completed it was on white cardstock. I wasn't completely happy with it, so I carefully covered the pattern paper and picture, and sprayed some ink on the background. Much happier with the yellow.

Below is the sketch. Don't forget to check out Stuck?!Sketches blog. A great place to get some inspiration. Thanks for stopping by.

Twenty Six

Hey everyone. Here's my take on the first October sketch at Stuck?!Sketches. For the last number of years instead of doing a "birthday" layout of my daughter, I decided to scrapbook a photo taken close to her birthday and title it with her age. This is a selfie she took before heading off to her part time job. The paper collection I used was My Mind's Eye 'My Story'. The flair button and gold butterfly button were also from this collection. For this layout I rotated the sketch to the left. For the background I sprayed some Art Anthology ink on my cardstock and then added two different colored splatters. The wood veneer pieces are from Teresa Collins. The flower pieces were cut from pattern paper.

Below is the sketch. Make sure to check out the blog at Stuck?!Sketches. There is a ton of inspiration there. Thanks for stopping by.

Creative Scrappers #266

Hey everyone. Here's my take on Creative Scrappers sketch # 266. For the background I used Art Anthology's spray ink, spritzed with some water to give a watercolor look. For the colored circles I used spray ink and distress paint also spritzed with water for the same look. I used My Mind's Eye 'Chalk Studio II' and Bobunny Vintage Double Dot pattern paper. Some stitching, ink splatters, sequins, gems and punched butterflies complete the page. Hope you like it and thanks for stopping by.
