Echo Park "I'd Rather Be Crafting" Create Layout





Using the Echo Park I'd Rather Be Crafting" collection and ACOT Sketch #371, I did one with photos of my newest stash which I purchased on a  Saturday with my Girlfriend to a fantastic scrapbook garage sale! I then took my old supplies to Bottom of the Bin store in Seminole, FL who swapped out my crafting items!! It felt good purging some of my old things I was not using. After taking pictures of the supplies it all went right in my organized room!! Purging Disclosure: If my friends ever want it, they can have it, so those things needed to go! Out with the old, in with the "newer". All supplies pictured are from other scrappers. I wrote on the journal card: "Buy, Sort, Use". And that is what I am doing!

Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Emboss it

Photoplay Bucket List Popcorn Popping layout


 
This is this week's Becky Fleck Sketch Challenge and I used this sheet of Photoplay Paper Bucket List Popcorn Popping, front and back. The problem was that I made the squares too large and continued to cut them down until they just barely fit. My Sharpie black fine liner did the dashes and the journaling. The other Popcorn journal block came from Photoplay Paper Confetti paper. The Jolee's by You 3D sticker called Movie Night was perfect to finish this off.

After attending the fabulous Stampfest Winter Convention in Clearwater, FL, I made sure to come home and make a layout of all of my friends I met up with. Using Photoplay Hello Lovely, and my Cricut Explore with the Wanderings cartridge and another one. I fussy cut from the Banner Day sheet, and used 2 sheets of the Lovely Floral for the bg of both sides. I cut the Fabulous cream with green dots down and place on top of the bg leaving 1/2" around outer edge. The So Sweet paper was used to cut on the Cricut for Friends. And the back side of Lovely for the flourish. Typed my journaling and printed and added it to the page. Hope you enjoy it!! I had fun and wanted to make sure to keep these memories!! What a fun time!
