Sketches in Thyme #499

                                                       Scrap Our Stash Challenge Jan. 2022

THE CHALLENGE:

Create a layout using the following "recipe":

ONE word title (Germany)

TWO photos

THREE Embellishment clusters (bird on glass, banner, key with button)

FOUR Patterned Papers (Strip, floral, flower fussy cut, dot)

FIVE sequins (2 by title, 3 in corner)

I really took a long time to make this layout and was inspired by the papers in this Kaiser Craft Kit. They came with just a few papers and I immediately grabbed my scissors and started fussy cutting all of that big roses, bird, glass jar and other pieces out. The strips were the back of the black dot paper so that is why I had to add the floral piece to the side of the layout to use the stripes to make the border I used at the top. The bottom right corner is the leftover piece when you use a border punch and so I used it there. It all came together beautifully and you would never know I didn't have enough papers if I had not told you. The crochet lace is from my stash and I had never used it!!! I matched perfectly! Love when that happens! The photos are of a town called Cochem, Germany and the title is a Jolee sticker. Sequins were also added. Enjoy!

Hello Glittery House Mouse Card

 

I used the Stampendous House Mouse Teddy Friend stamp, and colored this for the House Mouse Challenge with Glitter and loved making it a shaker inspired by Bunny Hoyle's design! I have a certain friend in mind for this and was thinking it needed to sparkle! I think she is going to love it!! Products used: Pretty Pink Posh Tuttie Fruity sequin mix; Pinkfresh Studio rectangle scallop die; Hello is Altenew with black glitter cardstock. Enjoy!

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.

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.
