Summer Trip Destination: Utah

I made this double page layout for my friend's scrapbook challenge she started. The challenge for the the month of November was Typography (or essentially that she wanted lots of words). This layout has way more words on it than I normally do and I tried to do some big and some small, some differing fonts. The paper and stickers are Echo Park's line called A Walk in the Park. I had so much fun putting this together and LOVE the big colorful circles bordering it. It's just so fun and happy colors and the memories from this trip are happy too. I also did this since we will be going to Utah this month and I'm excited to visit again.

Scrapbooking for the Year, so far.

My goal has been to do a page a month. I missed 2 months while I was working for tax season. I've also been playing around with mixed media too which has been fun.

Blue beauty page

 I made this scrapbook page with the inspiration of the blog Stamps and Stencils challenge of using blue.  I diluted a blue paint that I did first over the paper. Then I used ink and star stencil and embossing powder and I used clear glitter mist so it is super shimmery. Then I did some swirl stamps and some script stamps. I found some wood grain star that I sprayed with chalkboard glimmer mist and distressed everything. Plus I added some blue liquid pearls around the page. Oh yeah and some prima flowers and the gem swirl too. I love how this page turned out and I'm working on what I'm going to have the journaling say. Thanks for stopping by! 

Thanks for Retro!

I love rainy days. Love them! Its a rainy day here and I played in my craft room!I played along with Retro Sketches Challenge #196. So glad that I did! Thanks for looking!

Holly Holiday Wishes

I put together this card for the Cards in Envy Christmas in July challenge! I used some newly purchased twine and a metal heart charm. The stamp is from Unity Stamp Company, is super duper old and so is the paper. I was working with my stash of stuff! TFL.

I played along!!!! *cheering*

I played with Fusion Card Challenge Blog using the sketch above.

The stamps I used are by Unity by jillibean Soup called Blossom Soup. I used scraps sitting on my messy craft desk to throw this together. I put some glitter on the butterflies. Thanks for looking.

LOVE tri-fold card

I had a friend who started a card challenge that was with people she knew and we would post are pictures to Pinterest. I haven't posted many of these cards, but I will! This was a favorite of mine. The challenge was that it needed to be a tri-fold and have yellow and have a postal stamp image. The lighting isn't awesome on theses pictures...I was running short on time for submitting them for the challenge :)
