Boston & Neo- ScrapMuch? Sketch-y Friday DT

It's FRIDAY!!!

Today I am sharing another layout for ScrapMuch?'s Sketch-y Friday.

Now that I have a puppy, I am so happy I can snap shots of him to add to my list of things I like to scrap! This layout features my pup Boston and his best buddy who lives next door, Neo. They are quite the pair and spend a lot of days playing together while the humans go to work. What a life!

So here it is, the two decided to have a rest and pose for some photos on a hot day...



I kept the layout fairly simple as far as techniques go, but I just loved the dog paper and embellies I picked up.


One of the patterned papers had dog tags all over it so I fussy cut a couple out to make these cute tags and cut out and jazzed up the sayings a bit too.


I just love the wooden elements I was able to pick up at this years Scrap Fest!
I also used my new glaze pens to do some doodling on my page here and there!

And here is the fabulous sketch!

Don't forget to play along, you can do so here!





Products Used:
Bo Bunny- Happy Tails Paper

You & Me- ScrapMuch? Sketch-y Friday DT

Hi There!

Hope everyone has been having a good week and is enjoying the first official week of Summer.
Today I would like to share another layout I have created as a member of ScrapMuch?'s Design Team. This is another picture from our trip to Florida where we were just having some fun taking some "selfies" on the beach. Kevin and I are not big selfie takers but always manage to take a few on our trips!

Here is my layout...


I was really happy with how this one turned out. I just love the bright colours and how they came together. I am having a lot of fun lately with my watercolour paints just splattering them about my pages.

And here are some close ups...


 I used one of my kit clubs from ScrapMuch for this layout so I added some chipboard elements that came with the kit





And here is Laura's sketch that I used for inspiration...


Be sure to play along using this sketch!!! You can find all the details here!


Products Used:
MME Jubilee paper and chipboard stickers (ScrapMuch?'s Kit Club)

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

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...

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!!
