Family Layout for Child's Play Challenge

     Time for another fun reveal at Child's Play Challenge.  This time we were to use the toy Jack In The Box.  Our son didn't have one, but I know the idea is that the clown pops out of the box and makes the child smile.  The smiling made me think of all the smiling photos we got on our recent beach vacation.
     I admit that I've been low on inspiration lately so I pulled out one of my Scrapbook Generation kits.  These paper were part of my August kit and I used the sketch by Debbie Sanders.  I changed some of the cards on the left size and used a larger photo on the right.  I love having these kits on hand for when I'm low on mojo.
     Did you child have a Jack In The Box?  Are you inspired  some other way by this challenge?  I can't wait to see what you come up with.  Until next time...Keep Scrapping!

Close To My Heart Confetti Wishes Layout

     Hi all - I'm here with your Friday Inspiration for Paper Crafter Anonymous.  This week I created a blank layout, using the Confetti Wishes paper, for my friend who is due in November with her little girl. What I liked about this layout was it used one piece of paper, just cut and flipped.  It's great way to get more mileage out of your patterned paper.

     The paper is white, but the Recollections tag I wanted to use was more of an aged look.  To make them match I took Tim Holtz Vintage Photo ink and rubbed layer on layer on until they were a more similar color.  Just another tip to get more out of what you own.

     I envision the photos on this page  in a topsy turvy fashion.  Kind of skewed like the gorgeous cake in the picture.  Maybe before I give it to her I'll place the photo mats in the fashion and write the picture size on them to make it even easier for her.

    Hope my post has inspired you to try to think about your products in a different color scheme, and how to make the most of each piece.  Until next week...keep scrapping!

Studio Calico Sandlot Kit

September SSIB Layouts

     Dropping in with a really quick post showing what I completed with the inspiration photos from ScrapStuffz Inspired By.  This month we had two awesome inspiration photos to work with.  

Inspiration one:







     
     The office supplies reminded me of back to school.  This inspired me to scrap our son's pre-school picture. I used Authentique's Accomplished collection as I felt the black, white and craft would balance the loud, busy background of the photo.

Inspiration Two:

     
     The ferris wheel photo inspired me to scrap pictures from when we went to the Clearfield County Fair with my Brother, SIL and Nephew. I used a star cut file from the Silhouette store and an Echo Park boy collection, but the name escapes me at the moment. I stitched on my layout for the first time and while I like the effect I had trouble keeping the sew easy tool straight.

    I hope one of the photos inspires you to come and join us.  I'd love to see what you create.  Even if you don't get to the challenge leave me a comment with how this inspires you and I'll be sure to come visit.  Until next time...Keep Scrapping!

Close To My Heart Friendship Card

Hi everyone Lyne here with another inspiration for Paper Crafter Anonymous.  Hubby and I are blessed with an almost four year old son so any pink I use usually shows up on my cards.

As is my usually style I kept this card really clean and simple.  A few gems and some banners made from matching paper are the main embellishment. As a tip for you - the striped banner is actually the part at the bottom of the paper we usually cut off and throw away.

The stamped heart sits on some pop dots, and is colored with copic markers.  The markers match the aqua dots in the top patterned paper.

Hope you're enjoying seeing what I've been creating and I'd love to have you as a follower of my blog.  Until next week....Keep Scrapping!

Chid's Play Challenge - Cat In The Hat

Welcome to another fun reveal for Child's Play Challenge.  We were asked this time to create layouts with the book Cat In The Hat as inspiration.
     We don't read a lot of Dr. Suess around here for some reason so it took me a while to find my inspiration.  It was only after I realized the my nephew A's favorite movie was The Lorax that it came together for me.  After that this layout only took about an hour to complete.
     I used the Hey Baby collection by Simple Stories for all the paper since they matched A's shirt so well, but kept the look soft.
     The layout of the photo and embellishments was inspired by one of Stacia Brandt's Queen & Co guest layouts.  She used circles, but otherwise the placement is very similar.
     I love how this came out and I placed it in a memory tray for my SIL to hang in her office.  I hope she love it too.  Come over and join our challenge with how this theme inspires you.  Until next...Keep Scrapping!
