Easter layout

I did layout from a sketch from Back Porch Memories. Wish me luck, I am trying out for the guest designer.

Catching some rays

The layout is from our cruise, we stopped at a hotel the night before and Jeffrey had a great time in their pool, it was really awesome with waterfalls all over.
I used the sketch from BoysRule Scrapbook. Be sure to check our that site, totally awesome!

Here is the sketch, Jenny does a great job with the sketches.

Let them eat cake!

I made this cute cupcake holder today using Momenta party products. My son wan't to eat this cupcake so bad, I told him it was his un-birthday, so I let him!
I found a template from Pinterst to do this on line from the Stamp paper scissors blog , what a great idea. You can also find the link on my Pinterest page.

Adventure

I just loved this kit from Boysrulescrapbook, and one thing I really fell in love with was the corrugated cardboard. Wait until you see what I created (invented) next week using the cardboard. ok ok I'll give you a sneak peek below.
Be sure to hop on over to Laura-Lee's awesome website! This layout is based on the second sketch over there. I just LOVE the sketches.


Sneak Peek

Awesome, no score rosettes

Hi all,I lost my hard drive, and most things I was able to recover but not my sketches file, but I started again! Be sure to check it out over at my blog, For the Love of Sketches Here is the layout I made using the sketch using the awesome April kit over at Boysrulescrapbook. Seriously, you have to check out her site, not only are the kits awesome with a capital A, the sketches are terrific! I want to thank Laura-Lee for having me as a guest designer. It was so much fun!

Now as promised, here is how I made this terrific, easy no scoring involved rosettes that are featured on the layout above.


1.This is what you need
I cut my corrugated cardboard strips 4 1/2 by 3/4.



2. Glue ends


3. Make your rosette, be sure to glue a circle on the back to help hold down the cardboard. I used leftover paper for the back.


4. Wrap twine.


5. Add your circle and it's done, easy peasey (and no scoring involved)!

Practice Makes Perfect?

Over at Boysrulescrapbook they have this fabulous April Kit. Totally awesome for boys! Here I used the kit to make this layout about my son practicing the trumpet. He's not really into it, but does the trumpet because it sounded like a fun idea at first, but I am making him stick it out this year, he has to learn when he starts something you have to finish.

Anyway, here is the sketch and my take that they have over at Boysrulescrapbook.

I've been a big fan of the sketches over there since I discovered the site. If you do the layout using this awesome sketch be sure to link it up to enter for a prize!

Boys Rule!

I am so honored and thrilled to be the guest designer over at BoysruleScrapbook.com. The kits are super fantastic, but this months kit totally rocks! The paper is Simple Stories Awesome which anyone who has a boy has to have this kit. Plus you get so much, not only did I make this mini album from the kit, but I am making 3 layouts which I will share with you later this month. Please go over and check out the kits and of course the talent! She also has a monthly contest. All you have to do is link up a layout made from the sketches provided. I cannot say enough great things about this site!
I made this mini album for my son to put in his friends school pics he received. On the back which I didn't show is a spot for autographs.

Make a wish

What a crazy March I had. Between planning our Disney vacation (yes we are going Again!)and finally starting to get our house back in order very slowly, after all the construction and remodeling. Of course if you know me, I just can't "re-do" one room, it leads to another and another and then another idea comes to my head, and so on! So what started as painting and adding a closet, ended up with finding fabulous hardward floors in the dining room, 2 closets added, a partial new roof, new carpte and new furniture, tearing down a fake fireplace and some other minor fixes. Hopefully I will get my scrapbook room back in order and get down to some serious scrapbooking. Also my sister got me into geneology, so we've been scouring the web and this weekend we are going grave hunting! Sounds creepy but we really need to document some of this stuff for our kids, or so we think so. Can you believe we traced some of our relatives back to the 1500's!

In the meantime I hope you enjoy this layout. My granddaughter just loves sprinkles, so her other birthday party I let her put tons of sprinkles on her cake. She was thrilled with the whole idea. I used Momenta products along with some machine sewing.

The products I used were:

Momenta Pyramid Paper pack

Momenta Mini Puffy Stickers titles Birthday

Momenta Puffy Borders

Momenta Layered Stickers

Momenta Icon Stickers

I have to say I am becoming quite addicted to those Momenta Puffy sticker titles and the borders as well. I love the dimension it gives layouts.

Momenta

This layout I made using the fabulous Momenta Endless Summer Paper Pad. I cute out the "waves" and layered them across the bottom randomly. The title and all the embellishments were in my stash, and the anchor I made using my Cricut.

Momenta Party paper!

This paper pack by Momenta can be used not only for birthdays but just about any kind of layout. I used the sketch from Birds of a Feather Sketch challenge to make this layout. Everyone loves banners lately it seems, so I used the banners from the kit, some layered stickers and made some of my own. Those puffy titles are so cute too!

Here is a list of what I used.

Momenta 12X12 LET'S PARTY PYRAMID PAPER PAD PA-2386

Momenta PUFFY TITLE STICKER ST-2129

Momenta My Style Sticker Kit ST-4835

Also used some Divine Twine and buttons.

2-26-12 Tag/Technique/Question

Hello scrappers, today I made this fun tag .

I decided to try and use a sharpie to highlight the puffy stickers, which of course they are cute on their on, but I wanted to really bring them out against the rather blah background. The technique I wanted to try was to use dictionary or newspaper, so I cut it into squares and glued them on in a random way. My question is "What am I taking for granted?"

Let me tell you something I learned. I was watching a inking video and the girl was saying how the Ranger Blending Solution gets rid of or makes the ink lighter. So for some reason this stuck in my head. When I was using the sharpie, I slipped and had a big line across the puffy sticker. So I thought why not use the blending solution. It worked! Took it off like magic. Then the swirly puffy sticker at the bottom is more fabric like, and of course I messed that up too. It took a little more work but the blending solution works for that too, Just be sure it is completely dry before using the sharpie again.

Pluto

I just love the sketches over at Boys Rule! They really get my creative juices flowing. Here is the one I did for February. While we were on the cruise, Jeffrey's main goal it seemed, was to meet every character (EXCEPT for princesses!). Here he happened to run into Pluto near the elevators.
I used Crate Toybox, I love that line, used almost every piece of it. I still think I can squeeze one more layout out of it.


Here is a closeup of the banner, used cardboard,ink, Cosmo alphas, some fiber I found in the drawer,and Queen & Co Roxs


The stars I made by using needlepoint canvas. I had to ink because I didn't like the color. But let me tell a great secret about how I made these. I knew they were going to fray, so I took a piece of duct tape and adhered it on the back. Then I traced star shapes on the duct tape and cut it. Worked fantastically!!! Definetely going to get some more of that canvas material!

2-19-12 Tag/Technique/Question

Todays technique is layering, I put lots of layering and I hope it shows up here. The question is "What is your superpower? lol I responded, basically, that I hope I gave my children the wisdom to have a great life, hence the wisdom card on the front. I tried to somehow relate the card to the back, although some people might not see it, if you read the back you can see why I did some of the things I did on the front.

Rosette Cupcake Gift Card

Today I made this delicious cupcake gift card holder using the same procedure you would to make a rosette flower, except the only difference is I only glued the sides and bottom to the back of the gift card holder. This allowed the back to be open and enabled me to slide in a gift card into the back, pretty cool huh? I used:
Momenta 12X12 LET'S PARTY PYRAMID PAPER PAD PA-2386 (let me tell you the colors in this paper pack are fantastic!
Momenta PUFFY TITLE STICKER ST-2129
Momenta MINI PUFFY ICON STICKERS ST-3233 (because who doesn't love sprinkles on their cupcake.
Added some glitter around the edges, a button and twine for the cherry and some rick rack.

Here is the template I used, but you can find some on the internet just do a search for cupcake outline or template. You will need to cut out two of the top piece. The second piece I cut to finish off the top of the back. Make sure you use double sided paper that you like on both on sides!
