Go Sox Go! Stuck?! Sketches October 1st Challenge

Hi There,

Happy Saturday Night!!

Tonight I am sharing one of the layouts I have made for Stuck?! Sketches October 1st Challenge. This layout I made for my hometown's Fall Fair in Burford that took place this past Thanksgiving weekend. I entered it into the Scrapbooking section under "Family History" It is a photo of my boyfriend's uncle when he played for the Boston Red Sox's Minor League many years ago alongside baseball legend Ted Williams! I was even lucky enough to win FIRST PRIZE for my layout. I was so thrilled!

Here is my layout...



And some close ups...




And here is my First Prize Ribbon!



And here is the sketch...


Product List:
Paper- Carta Bella & Pebbles
Banner- Heidi Swap
Twine: Darice
Brads: American Crafts
Wooden Embellies & Tickets from my stash

Thanks for having a peek and stay tuned for more!

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...

Product List: My Minds Eye and Pebbles Paper, Prima Bling, Flowers, Metal Accents and Wood Veneer "Love" by Michaels and Alpha Lettering by Fancy Pants and Making Memories.

And here is the sketch...


I have completed this sketch as my application for ScrapMuch's Design Team Call.
They are a wonderful company and great group of ladies!!!

Hope you enjoyed my latest sketch and stay tuned for more :)

Hello everyone! For my second post I would like to share a little something I had been meaning to put together for a while. It is not a papercraft creation, however I think it is too great not to share. On my trip to Florida last year I found a few perfect sand dollars on the beach. I was the only one out of a group of about 10 to find ones that were whole, and being only my second time along the ocean I thought they were pretty darn easy to find!! I was quite proud of myself I might add! So I wrapped a few up and brought them home in my luggage. All but one was crushed during my travels, so I decided I wanted to do something so I could keep it forever. So enough talking.... here is what I decided to do with it.......



 
Michaels had their shadow boxes on sale so I picked some up... along with some decorative sand.... and VOILĂ€! I covered the backing of the shadow box in tacky glue and covered it in sand and let dry. Then I added my sand dollar using some household cement I found in my junk drawer.
 
After that I decided it needed something else so I used my silhouette portrait to cut my title out of vinyl and adhered it to the glass!!
 
Here are some close ups....


 
I am finding my silhouette to be handy for all sorts of things.... not just scrapbooking.
 
I am very happy with how this turned out and now just need to find a space on the wall to hang it.
