By The Sea- ScrapMuch? Sketch-y Friday DT Reveal!!!

Hi There and HAPPY FRIDAY!

Not only am I excited because it is Friday, but I am happy to announce that I have been chosen as a new member of ScrapMuch?'s Design Team. I will be sharing two layouts a month to help inspire others and share my creations. For my very first reveal I am sharing a layout of our most recent trip to Florida. We love to try our fishing skills out in the ocean and I have created with pictures of Kevin doing what he loves best!

Here is my layout, inspired by a sketch by ScrapMuch?'s Laura Whitaker and another challenge for June ...

And here are some close ups...

I just love using stencils and textured medium so I added a little to the top of my layout

I also got some new Glaze pens and I love the way they write and finish glossy on the page

 I borrowed a punch too, and thought it looked kinda like shells although I don't think that is what it's supposed to be...but worked for me!

Products Used:

Carta Bella Ahoy There Paper

Red Thickers

Michaels adhesive cork stickers

Tim Holtz stencil

We R Memory Keepers Sew Stamper 

...and sequins from stash!

Hi There and Happy Friday!

I am back with my second layout for Scrapmuch?'s Sketch-y Friday.
I hope everyone has been keeping warm this week.

My layout for this week is from this past October when I went pumpkin picking with my Mom, Dad and two nephews. It was a beautiful Fall day and of course the perfect photo op for some Mother/ Daughter and Father/Daughter pictures.

Here is my layout...

And a few close ups...

It is such a simple tool but I am a big fan of the distressing tool. I don't have my own, but always borrow it from my Mama when she has it handy :)

Hearts Full of Love- ScrapMuch?'s Sketch-y Friday Guest Designer For Month of January!

Hi There,

I hope everyone has enjoyed the holiday season and is getting back to scrapping their favourite photos! For today's post I am especially pleased to announce that I am being featured as ScrapMuch?'s Guest Designer for the month of January. Isn't that exciting?!

I am so thrilled for the opportunity to share my most recent layouts with everyone as I am very proud of the way they all turned out.

Here is my layout I created for the first Sketch-y Friday of the month.
This past June I was Maid of Honour in my sister in laws wedding and this layout includes a few of the many stunning shots from that day...

And here are some close ups...

I took a Silhouette class at ScrapMuch?'s Fall Retreat and was able to learn a lot on how to navigate the software. It would typically take me a VERY long time to cut out a simple design, however after Laura's class I was able to cut out this beautiful art deco frame in no time and add it to my page! It has got to be my favourite part of the layout by far, highlighting the beautiful bride and groom!!

Here is the layout for today's Sketch-y Friday Challenge, and don't forget to play along :)

Products Used:

Teresa Collins: Tinsel and Company Paper

Pebbles:Special Delivery Paper

Wooden and Metal embellies from Michaels

I hope you enjoyed my first installment as ScrapMuch?'s Guest Designer and stay tuned for more this month!!

I was even lucky enough to win FIRST PRIZE for my layout. I was so thrilled!

Here is my layout...

All Because Two People Fell In Love! -ScrapMuch? Sketch-y Friday

Hi There,

Long time no blog...I hope everyone has had a busy Summer as I know I have.
But I am back at it with ScrapMuch?'s Sketch-y Friday Challenge.

This past June I had the pleasure of standing beside my best friend in her wedding as her Maid of Honour. This event has been my inspiration for scrapping in the past couple weeks since I received over 1000 photos from the beautiful day!!

So here is my take on ScrapMuch?'s layout...

The lovely bride and groom posing on their special day!
