Sketchy Saturday

Welcome to another edition of Sketchy Saturday. Today I am sharing a 12x12 traditional double layout inspired by playing along with a couple challenges. 


Left hand sketch inspiration is from Sketches in Thyme challenge #703 from Rochelle Spears. 


Right hand sketch is inspiration from Stick It Down Scrapbook & Cardmaking April Sketch.  


Getting inky with the sneak peek of the Scenic Coast suite coming May and Splashes of Sparkle DSP, Strawberry Slush, Crushed Curry and Timid Tiger inks and paired them with some old favourites in the Unforgettable Times Mix and Match ephemera pack, On Film and Colourful Seasons dies, umbrella builder and scallop tag punch, sunset and brick stencils, silver twine and silver metallic marker.


Love the end result that came together for a fun coordinated double layout from a day at the beach. 


Left hand page showcases several the gorgeous dies and paper in the Scenic Coast suite and the wee camera and Polaroid frame from the On Film dies. Unforgettable title is from the Ephemera pack sponged with a bit of Timid Tiger to blend with the paper.

Right hand page carries over some of the Scenic Coast suite with the seagulls and the Colourful Seasons beach chairs, table and drinks, umbrella builder for the umbrellas and Time Together title is from the ephemera pack sponged with Timid Tiger.

Fun Fold Friday

Welcome to another edition of Fun Fold Friday. Today’s card is a Modified Gatefold from a recent fun fold card swap with the Stamp2Create team members.


This fun fold design features the Peaceful Garden suite from the holiday catalog. Definitely a keeper set for me as so many versatile themes it can be used for. 


Love the doves in this suite - they truly live up to their peaceful name vibes … great for wedding projects, baptism, first communion, sympathy, Christmas.
