Sweet

 

Hey everyone. Merry Christmas!!! I'm  really late posting this one. It's from a DT scrap lift challenge from November 29th at The Studio Challenges. I decided to scrap lift a layout from Rainny featuring a large rainbow. I chose pattern paper with alot of smaller rainbows and fussy cut them out. The page is one of my grandson, nice and sqeaky clean from a bath. He's so sweet and precious. I used paper and embellishments from Cocoa Vanilla's 'Daydream' collection. Close ups and the page I scrap lifted are below. Thanks for stopping by.

Family

 Hey everyone. I love pattern paper, so this weeks challenge at The Studio Challenges was especially fitting. You were to use at least 5 different pattern papers on your layout. I was able to use 8. I used an older collection from Fancy Pants, called 'Golden Days'. For the background I applied some watered down distress ink with the packaging technique and then applied some ink through a stencil with a blending tool. The photo is one my daughter took at Thanksgiving dinner last year. Below are some close ups . Thanks for stopping by.

My Heart Is Full

 

Hey everyone. This week's challenge at The Studio Challenges is all about hexagons. I used a collection from Fancy Pants called 'Good Ol' Days' for this page of my two adorable grandsons. For the background I applied watered down distress ink with the packaging technique, as well as some stamping. I ended up covering most of it up, but you can see some peeking through. Below are some close ups. Thanks for stopping by.

Autumn's In The Air

 

Hey everyone. This week's challenge at The Studio Challenges is a beautiful autumn mood board challenge. I used an older collection from Photoplay Paper called 'Falling Leaves'. It matched the photos of these sunflowers perfectly. For the background I applied watered down distress ink with the packaging technique. I then added some stencil stamping. The leaves were cut with a Prima die. Below are some close ups and the challenge. Thanks for stopping by.

You Are My Happy

 

Hey everyone. Here's my take on this month's sketch challenge from The Studio Challenges. I used an older collection from Echo Park Paper called 'Grandson'. This line was perfect for this page of my two adorable grandsons. Lots of stars and some staples finished off the layout. Below are some close ups and the sketch. Thanks for stopping by.

Real Life

 

Hey everyone. Happy Sunday. There's a stash busting challenge at The Studio Challenges today. You are to use your older stash. The older the better. I found a collection from Fancy Pants from 2014 called 'Flutter'. It matched my photo perfectly and the flair button made the best title. I tried something different for the background this time. I took some distress oxide pads and stamped them directly on the background. I then misted them with quite a bit of water and then soaked up the water with paper towel. I then stamped on the darker pink and added a few splatters. Very cool technique and sooo easy. Below are some close ups. Thanks for stopping by.

Sweet Baby Boy

 

Hey everyone. I have a recipe challenge from The Studio Challenges to share with you. I was able to use all the items which were tags (behind the photo), a stamp (dots and alphabet), 3 or more patterned papers, a punch (scallop border), washi tape and puffy stickers (word and alphas). I used Echo Park Paper's 'Baby Boy' collection for this page of the first photo of my new grandson. So excited to have this little sweetie join the family. For the background I applied watered down distress ink with the packaging technique and then stamped with the ink. Below are some close ups. Thanks for stopping by.
