Echo Park It's Your Birthday Layout

       I put a Jolee's flamingo sticker over where the Echo Park flamingo already was, making it a 3D!!

I used Echo Park It's Your Birthday collection, and Bo Bunny Green dot paper as part of the sketch, Jolee's Flamingo stickers, and pink doilies. I just LOVE how it came out!!! This was my birthday for 2020 and we attended a Stampfest here in Orlando. Hardly any venders came but we had a blast and then ate a little restaurant here called Melao Bakery. I recommend it for their fabulous desserts, and delicious food. 

 This is an old Page Maps sketch for a single layout from

Christmas Party Sketches in Thyme #494 Layout

                                             Sketches In Thyme #494 November Week 4 Sketch

Using My Minds Eye Christmas papers, and other odd papers and cardstocks, I used the sketch to commemorate this awesome party in 2019. My friend Lynnette, had it at her mom's house, with the tallest tree I have ever seen totally decorated!! She said over 2000 ornaments!!! So as a tribute to her and the tree, I did NOT cut the photo down as the sketch showed. Also, gold twine was used at the top of this layout and for the bow and on the ornament from Prima Marketing. Poinsettia is from Petaloo.

Happy Christmas Sketches In Thyme Layout

                             Fussy cut and layered to make the left side stand out like the sketch.

                              Doubled up on adhesive squares to make the title stand out more.

Using the sketch and My Minds Eye Vintage Christmas papers, Pink Paislee Luxe Stars Placemat in gold, lots of 3D foam squares and Krylon Spray Tack to adhere that, I put this layout together. Bazzill cardstock in Ponderosa and off white to mat the photos. Charcoal cardstock to fussy cut around the Santa after fussy cutting him out of the paper. I guess you can see that I used the "Star Placemat" as the large circle on the page.

Christmas House Mouse Mass Cardmaking

I needed to do some mass Christmas Cardmaking and this was what I decided to make. I custom cut the red fronts so as to make A-2 size cards. I started with a set of pre-made card fronts but they were not that size I has wanted so I used that as a template. I loved this Impression Obsession Ornament die and began cutting through a ton of Bazzill gold foil cardstock. Needless to say, I ran out fast!! I bought more and used some Recollections gold as well, except that it has a duller finish. The House Mouse Bow single stamp was a gift from Bunny Here's a previous post of the same card. I am trying to have 40 done by the time I send them out!!! It keeps me busy!

Items used: MISTI, Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, Copics, Bazzill Gold Foil, Platinum 6 Die Cut machine, Spellbinders All In One Tool, Impression Obsession Ornament die, Red cardstock, A2 size premade cards, Scrapbook.com Magic Mat, Offray gold and red ribbon, Adhesive dots, Fiskars 12" trimmer and clear adhesive.

Fancy Pants Reindeer Games Layout

                                                        Sketch In Thyme November #492 Week 2

Loved these pictures and found this Fancy Pants Wish Seasons with the funny deer pattern paper, and then found these Paper Bliss Reindeer sticker packs from Hobby Lobby, (older stash I've had). This took me so long to complete because I kept having trouble with the sticker pieces falling apart! So re-glued the reindeer and the bells. It worked out in the end since the deer on the circle had been attached to the rectangle "banner" at the bottom! Sometimes it is just meant to be... The cardstocks are all from Bazzill: Raspberry Parfait embossed dots, Diamond (sparkly white). The felt ribbon (stash) doesn't want to stay glued and had just a little bit of it but "made it work"!! LOVE the way it came out for a double layout with all my pictures!! Realized I should of taken time to have a group pic!! Well, who knows the next time we will get a big party together! Hope to again soon!!

Memories Sketches in Thyme Layout

                                                                             Sketch in Thyme #490

I love using these fabulous sketches from Sketch in Thyme and decided to use this one to document our anniversary in 2019 that we had while on our wonderful cruise. I used the Authentique Paper collection called Explore, and cut diagonally. Using various Prima Marketing flowers, and other brands in my stash, I arranged them along that line. I double matted the pics with Bo Bunny double dot in Jade and then light tan cardstock. Using chipboard from my stash, I used versamark and then used a gold in my stash again and heat embossed. The other flower chipboard was first painted with white gesso and then inked with Distress Inks of Rustic Wilderness and Evergreen Bough then heat embossed with WOW Clear Ultra thick powder. The butterfly I purchased from Germany so seem like a perfect time to use on this international layout. Love how this came out!

Using another Sketch in Thyme sketch, and more of my parrot pics, with all of these old supplies from my scrap stash, I am in love with how it came out!! Making Memories letters were embossed with WOW Ultra High clear embossing powder and heat embossed. The word "pants" was die cut from Altenew Simple Alphabet letters in yellow cardstock. The ribbon at the top was secured to match the sketch. The hibiscus flowers were die cut from a Tessler die. Hope you enjoy my layout and pics of these ultra clever parrots!! They were beautiful and smart too!!
