Free Time

With all the free time l have at the moment l am scrapping up a storm!

Joining in at Stuck again this week with their sketch and combining it with the current challenge over at White with One.

At WW1 you have to use Pistachio with white. I used a circle mask and added paste and once dry sprayed some Dylusions ink. My papers are from Authentique and Echo Park and the letters are Webster's Pages.

This was the sketch l used from Stuck



Thanks for looking and enjoy your day :)

Today

I found time this week to join in the fun at Sketches over at  My Creative Scrapbook.
I love this picture of my two kids back when they were little at one of our favourite holiday spots.

The papers and embellishments are from My Minds Eye 
I have stencilled and misted parts of the white cardstock background
A handy toilet roll was used to make the circles with paint
I have added a scattering of buttons and 2 stitched circles on the right hand side of the layout
Here are some close ups

This is the sketch to follow

Thanks for looking:)

Using Your Stash

Hello there, how many of you have bits and pieces in your stash that never get used much any more? I know l do and one of these are brads. So today l thought l would try and make a dent into my stash of brads.
Here is what l came up with- using a stencil l pricked holes along the bottom of my layout
and filled them with a variety of coloured brads.

2 more examples

 The stencils I used are from Bazzil but you could also hand draw your own design

Why not try and use up some of those forgotten items in your stash of goodies!

2 Challanges

Hello there, l'm getting back into the swing of things after my trip to the USA.
Looks like l will be having a few extra weeks of free time, so l can join in on some monthly challenges.
Today l am using the current sketch over at Stuck and the current word at Bird is the Word.

 

 

Here is the sketch to follow and the word to use is Explore/Travel

Thanks for looking :)

LGS September week 1

Sharing today my layout for Lets Get Sketchy
This week the sketch is by the talented Ashley Horton
Here is my take using products from Simple Stories

 I love the chipboard banner in this collection and l have placed it over the printed banner on the PP.
The fish strip is a sticker and l added a couple of chipboard fish to this.  I popped the umbrella,chair and the 2 surfboards
The two papers behind my photo are from American Crafts.

August Sketch

This week at Lets Get Sketchy you can add a banner, a cluster of some embellishments and a horizontal photo.
I stuck to the sketch and made a cute banner out of butterflies which l added some hand stitching to. I love the pink ribbon trim l ran under my photo and l cut out the letters to make my title and popped them up

I really do like this collection from Simple Stories. These are some of my favourite colours.
