Something for Me to Remember...

In my last post, I shared a layout I created for a good friend of mine and her new fiancé!

That was a layout I made specifically for them in order to add into a shadow box, and hand it off as a present, never to see it again.

Thankfully, I printed two of the same photos used in that layout - One in black & white, which was used in the previous layout, and one in colour, which I used in the layout I'm about to share with you in this post!

This layout was made based on the sketch found over on the Stuck?! Sketch challenge blog!

Look at all those diagonals!!

I've been working with a lot of shapes that I would normally not even consider in recent layouts, and so I decided to pull out my very 'unused' Studio Calico kit from last month and try to put together something to go with this layout sketch AND the photo that I have on hand!

The end result went something like this:

I got to even using some mesh like trim that I've had in my stash F.O.R.E.V.E.R. as the edge trimming between the diagonals.

I EVEN GOT TO USING MY CRICUT!  Yes, it seems so normal for those who use it regularly, but mine is so high up that I need a step stool to get to use it because I've been blessed with a compact form factor. LOL

In any case, I really liked how it turned out and is really making me consider using my cricut way more often now.

I hope you enjoyed the layout and we'll chat soon! :)

Stuck Sketches with Mixed Media in August

So, it seems I'm fond of mixed media, as this layout is another mixed media layout.

It's of me when I used to be in fashion shows and loving it. :)

I used a crafter's workshop stencil for the background and many bits from the Studio Calico scrapbook grab bag that I got last week.

The sketch I used to direct me with this layout comes from Stuck's August First Challenge!

My take on this sketch went something like this:

I know, the picture is a tad blurry, but it was the best I could do with what I was using tonight. I think I need to set up a mini light box or something. But anyway...


Thanks for dropping by!

Wherever this crafty flow is coming from...

I don't want it to stop!! Lol

This time, the post is for a scrapbook layout sketch challenge on the Stuck?! blog!

The sketch goes a little something like this:

The super cool thing about my rendition of this layout is that I used watered down acrylic paint for the splatter-y effect... (While getting the keyboard, monitor and desk splatter-y as well!)

I'm just going through my Hello Again papers by Carta Bella like crazy!  Only got a few sheets left, so I'll probably be using them up in the next few days? few hours maybe? :)

Stuck?! Sketch Challenge Entry

So, this is my first time submitting a layout for the Stuck?! sketches challenges!

This entry is specifically for the June 1st sketch:

For my layout I used Graphic 45's Sweet Sentiments collection mixed with a touch of Botanical Tea goodness and this is what I came up with:

Because this is a top down view, you aren't able to see the layers, however, the border is raised and so is the main photo cluster space.  :)

Anyway, thanks for dropping by, and I hope you were inspired to finish up those spring collections!!
