Country Garden Collection

 Here is yet another beautiful sketch from Kim Kean over at My Creative Scrapbook for the month. I had to reverse it for my picture and I had to use this picture because I really wanted to use this collection from Bo Bunny. I just love Bo Bunny and the Country Garden Collection is just another reason why, it’s gorgeous!

So I went to work sketch and collection in hand and yet it needed something more. So I tried an old trick and it worked! Just by printing my picture on vellum it completely changed the feel of my layout, it added a feeling of gentleness that only vellum can. I forget sometimes how many ways vellum can be used; it’s not just for journaling.

 You want some more tips to use up your vellum stash? Hop on over to Practical Scrappers we have 10 different ways to use your vellum!

Products Used: Bo Bunny and the Country Garden Collection, Tim Holtz Distressing Ink, Clear Scraps Acrylic, Stays On Ink and a touch of stickles

June Imaginisce Sketch Challenge

So I took this picture and I instantly fell in love with it, but what to do with it? I really hate that I keep making these one picture one page layouts because for those of you that know me know I am a two page girl and the more pictures the better. But I had to turn this picture into something beautiful, how could I not, look at that smile!

So I found this sketch challenge on the Imaginisce Blog and here is what I came up with. Hope you like it!

Products Used: Imaginisce Splash Dance & Birthday Bash Cardstock, Imaginisce Birdsong Ribbon, American Crafts Thickers, Mister Hueys Mist, Misc Buttons, Glitter and Bling.

Let’s get Sketchy Challenge

While I missed the cut off by minutes, I forgot about the time difference again! I wanted to share this great sketch from the ladies over at Let’s Get Sketchy! That’s what you get for waiting till the last day! Maybe next weekJ, so here is what I did with the sketch.

Products Used: American Crafts –Pebbles- Let Freedom Ring Collection, Bazzill Basics, and Prima Wood Buttons En Francais Collection.

Echo Park ~Hello Summer

I just love the Hello Summer Collection from Echo Park, so much so I think I may have to buy it againJ.  I Have made so many projects with this line, here is two of them.

1^st Is a layout of Sydney in the yard, the joyful colors match the mood of the pictures. I really wanted to focus on her so I added a circle of rhinestones around that beautiful smile.

                

2^nd Is my set of 3 Flowers from Wall Sugar, I have one side for pictures and one side just to look pretty, they will look great in my crop room when I get one.

The second side of my Wall Sugar 3 Square Hanger

Finally finished my wall sugar hanger.

 I still don’t have the right pictures yet (because my daughters will not stand or sit by each other at all).

 So until that wonderful day I let it simple with the word create. I used ribbon to match my craft room (that I will get someday).

The ribbon is wrapped around cardstock and attached with Velcro so it can be removed as needed.
