Happy Autumn Days

 

Hey everyone. Happy New Year!! I have the first challenge of the year from The Studio Challenges to share with you today. This first challenge is a pretty easy one. You are to use old and new products on your page. For the something new I used Simple Stories' latest fall collection called 'Cozy Days'. For the something old I used hemp, staples and a stamp I have had forever. For the background I applied watered down distress ink with the packaging technique. I then stamped some dots. I misted the stamp with water before stamping. I love the effect this creates. We are currently looking for some more design team members. A blog is not necessary. Check out The Studio Challenges blog for all the info. Below are some close ups. Thanks for stopping by.

Love You

 

Hey everyone. Here's the last challenge of the year from The Studio Challenges. It was a year in review challenge. 2020 was an especially hard year for our family so I decided to create a page of the best thing that happened. The addition of our sweet, precious Felix. I used paper and embellishments from Cocoa Vanilla's 'Daydream' line and fussy cut all the moths. Below are some close ups. Thanks for stopping by.

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.

 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.
