Ski Tag

BoBunny comes out with some of the best winter paper collections. I'm always eager to see their new designs, and Powder Mountain didn't disappoint.

Inspiration Wednesday - Glorious Autumn

Wow, this weeks Inspiration Wednesday project for me was a rollercoaster. When I first watched the video I loved the idea. I fully admit to being a hoarder of paper, so the idea of being able to use some beautiful paper as the main feature was, to me, heavenly.

As I proceeded though I ran into some trouble and thought it was going to turn into a hot mess. But in the end, with some determination and creative thinking, it turned into something I really like :D

Here is the back of the inclusion, where I added my journal content for the page. It's great because it's hidden when the page first opens, but adds some visuals on the right side of the page when you flip it over.

Some of you may recognize this tag from a previously posted project. I decided to add it to this journal layout because it is one of my favourite tags and it works so nicely with the layout.

Supplies:

Paper - BoBunny - Forever Fall and Cambridge paper packs
Cardstock - Stampin-up
Stamps - Stampin up, Heartfelt Creations (Script Stamp), Stampendous (Sunflower)
Stampin' Up Blendabilities
Ink - Momento and Stampin' Up
Stencils - Crafters Workshop
Acrylic Paints - Pumpkin, Laguna, Raw Umber
Matte Medium, Mod Podge, Acrylic Glazing Liquid, Light Molding Paste
Dylusions Journal

I completed this layout for both the Sketchabilities Challenge #132 and the Let's Get Sketchy - January Week 2 Challenge. For this week I tried returning to my own style a bit more, but also tried a new technique I saw where the photo was layered up from underneath with ephemera. I'm not sure I got the result I was fully expecting, but I do like it. Perhaps some more practice in this area.....

And here is my interpretation. I hope you like it....comments are welcome, and if you would like to see more of my work, please don't forget to subscribe to my blog!

Again, the photo is one I found on pinterest that I just really liked and went so well with the "Anthem" paper line from Bo Bunny.

Supplies

Paper, Ephemera and chipboard elements - Bo Bunny "Anthem"
Ink - Tim Holtz Distress Ink and Stampin Up
Stampin Up Chipboard Letters
Stamps - Stampin Up and Heather's Stamping Haven by the Stamp Barn

But seeing other great projects online inspired me to pick one up - and once I started the ideas began to flow and now I can't wait to get more.

Here's my first Prima Paper Doll project - a great fall tag I plan to use on a nice little thank you gift!

Fall is in the air

I love the fall season! I love the temperature. I love the colours. I love Thanksgiving and Halloween. And I love pulling out all my favourite fall paper lines and playing with projects.

Today I got to play with some new supplies - A sunflower stamp from Stampendous and some new markers.

I have a confession - I love to scrapbook, but I'm not a great photographer and sometimes you have a paper pack that just cries out to be used but you have no photos to use with it. In those instances I will sometimes print a nice picture I have found online, just for the sake of being creative and adding a pretty layout to my personal album. Such is the case here.

I was inspired to do this layout by Gabrielle Pollacco (see her layout and video tutorial here). You will probably see a lot of similarities between the two because I absolutely loved her layout - but I also tried to make it a bit my own.

Hope you like it. Comments are welcome.

count your blessings

Happy Monday friends! Welcome to a new week. Becky here from Scrap Circus to share a little card with you.

Now, I am not quite as keen as my fellow DT members to break into the Christmas and Winter projects so here is a fall themed card.

The green gingham background paper and the 'count your blessings' tag are from the Harvest Lane 6x6 pad. The dark wood grain paper is from the Take a Hike Journal Inserts.

The jar sticker comes from the 12x12 Fundamental sticker sheet from Harvest Lane.  I finished off the card by attaching some cream coloured lace ribbon with my Tiny Attacher and wrapping the whole card with some hemp twine that I finished off with a bow and a cute button.

As a final touch I punched out some hearts using my Spellbinders dies and lined them up along the side of the dark wood grain paper.

you are fabulous!

It snowed last night and it has been cold enough today for some of it to even stick around. While the pretty white flakes were falling down I was snug at my desk making something bright and colourful.

I just got the Woodland Park Collection from October Afternoon and I just had to dive right in! It is so beautiful :) I think it is out of stock at the store right now but if you love it as much as I do, let Kristy know and she'll order you one right away.

I've only had time to make one card so far, but I know there is a layout in my near future with this awesome kit.

So anywho; here's my card...

The yellow lace trim is new from Bo Bunny. You may have noticed that I use lace on my cards a lot, so I was SO EXCITED when this new lace came out...I've got it in every colour!!! Before I only had white lace, and sometimes I would colour it with Copic Markers to get the colour I want, but this is so much easier!

Layouts of my son

I'm a card maker so I buy a lot of 6x6 mini decks.  Occasionally I feel like scrapbooking but never have the giant 12x12 sheets to scrap with so I have to improvise.  Here are two 9x9 layouts I completed using the same 6x6 mini deck (paper pad).

Materials

 Stamps-Vroom: Whimsie Doodles

Paper-On the Go: Bo Bunny (6x6)

Twine-Lemon-The Twinery

I used Torico's "Oh Snap" stamp set to make this layout then coloured the images with copics!
