Fancy Pants Beach Layout




Fancy Pants papers I have had in my stash from years ago were used in this layout. After participating in a Virtual Crop that had a sketch, I pulled them out to do this fast layout of a few pics of a Girlfriends' weekend retreat of scrapbooking. You can see we spent time in the Jacuzzi and eating out!! It was in Daytona Beach, FL and we had a blast, of course!! I followed the sketch and added the flowers as asked. I kinda liked it after done, and hope I'll take more shots of the ocean which was beautiful the whole time we were there!! LOL!! Funny how I seem to forget to take pics of gorgeous natural beauty while I'm enjoying taking it in!!!! Living in the moment I guess!!
Papers are from Fancy Pants Designs from 2004-2009 sometime. Prima Marketing flowers from a bag. Nuvo drops in English Mustard, and Blue, and some blue bling.

Recollections Mother's Day 2019 layout





Using the Recollections papers, I fussy cut the glittered parts away from the regular pattern paper. After all were apart I had 5 different pieces from 3 different papers. Then I "weaved them back together to appear as if it were just 2 for this double pager. It was a real trick to weave the pattern papers so they perfectly matched up.  I then made the right page's photo mats, adding some scallop lace to one for texture against all the glitter. I matched a Bazzill cardstock to the peachy floral in my background papers, and matted all the photos to bring them into unity. My scrapbook friend had had the "Mother's Day" die that I had already die cut previously and I applied that on the journal block already apart of the paper. Adding a tied glitzy tulle for added texture and glitter on an already glitzy layout seemed appropriate to finish it off! Still needing to journal our 2019 Mother's Day celebration but feeling like I achieved my goal of showing how grateful I am for the rich blessing of being a Mother to these two amazing sons and wife to my wonderful husband!! It is nice to make a layout of eating out when we weren't able to for 2020's Mother's Day.
Supples: Recollections Bird Glitter Border; My Minds eye glitter paper;
Challenges:
Double D Challenge: Use your scraps-I did by piecing all the papers together, as well as the mats.

Newton's Nook Cuppa Cactus Card



Using Scrapping for Less Coffee and Friends pattern papers, I made this perfect Newton's Nook Cuppa Cactus Card. The background was stamped with the cacti with Versamark and heat embossed with white ep. I then used Distress Oxide in Straw and Squeezed Lemonade with blender brushes. I stamped and masked the 2 cactus cups so as to showcase their flowers with the cup handles sticking out some. I colored with Copic Markers in matching colors and trimmed the papers and glued down. Hope you enjoyed all the fun with these adorable Newton's Nook images! They are a Super Sponsor of the Coffee Lover's Blog hop and it is so generous of them to sponsor it each time I thought it would be nice to use this image for both challenges!

Waffle Flower Books & Coffee Card- Card 5




I purchased the Waffle Flower Crafts Books & Coffee Stamp & Die Combo and it just arrived so I pulled Katie Gehring's card from my Pinterest.  I felt it would be faster to just follow her card exactly with just an added coffee cup and sentiment line to get it linked up for the Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Hop before it closes. I loved her example before I had even purchased it so I also ordered Waffle Flower Crafts A2 Arch Window Die. LOVED how it came out!! Thank you Katie!! I used my Copic sketch markers to match her Zigmarkers as well. My yellow background is Distress Oxide Squeezed Lemonade with the blender brushes onto 65# Neenah white. Bazzill cardstocks for the papers. Stamped images were made onto 110# Neenah white.

House Mouse Donut Day-Coffee Card 4



                                        Die Cut and copic colored sprinkles to match paper.

Using my Stampendous House Mouse Donut Day stamp and my MISTI, I stamped it with Memento Tuxedo black ink. Enjoying coloring with the Copic Markers and then die cutting it with this fabulous round Spellbinders dies in my Platinum 6. I wanted sprinkles for the donut which is from the MFT Donuts and sprinkles die-namics, and the sentiment is from Lawn Fawn Donut Worry.
Copic Markers: Y13, Y11, B00, B01, B02, E33, E21, E50, E11, E13, E15, RV02. 
I used Echo Park Paper Summer Bucket List Plaid paper for the background and a shiny blue paper from my stash that matched!! Loved those sprinkles but it was hard coloring all of them.
