Scrappy Saturday

Welcome to another edition of Scrappy Saturday here on the blog.

Today’s double layout was inspired by a couple layout sketches I found on Pinterest. I altered the second layout orientation and opted for 1 large photo mats instead of 4 smaller. 

I’m getting inky with the Fun for Fall bundle, Sunflower Fields DSP & Sticker sheet, Sunflower 3D embossing folder, Cajun Craze two tone paper, Cajun Craze, Daffodil Delight & Old Olive blends and unbranded bronze twine. 

Double layout view - the diagonal cut DSP along with coordinated colour palette and elements blends the two layouts together. I created a little DIY design paper for my layout based with the triple leaves stamp from the Fun for Fall bundle. 

Left layout features 3 small photo mats and love all the elements from the Fun for Fall bundle they are perfect accents for a day at the Pumpkin patch & Corn Maze with the granddaughter. 

Right layout has a large photo mat to showcase a family photo from the Sunflower field visit.  

Happy Stampin’

Scrappy Saturday

Welcome - it’s been a while since we’ve had a Scrappy Saturday here on the blog.

Today I am playing along to a couple challenges over at Lasting Memories Layout challenges to get the MOJO going again. 

#LM811 - Favourite Brand no secret that mine is Stampin’ Up! Using a card making kit with an alternative use for scrapbook layouts.

#LM812 Embellishments … loving the bling - the In Color butterflies are a perfect pairing for this project.

Getting inky with the Gilded Gallery card kit using it as an alternative to create a double scrapbook layout with the supplies from two of the card designs. I’ve paired it with Nature’s Symphony bundle, Butterfly Flight Hot foil, Sincerely Noted ephemera. 

Left side layout - 5x7 photo with some gold embossing, purple textures lines and leaves and butterflies.  

Right side layout three 3”x4” photos carrying over the gold embossing, purple texture lines and leaves and butterflies.

Scrappy Saturday

Welcome to another edition of Scrappy Saturday. 

Today’s double layout design was inspired by playing along with the following challenges:

Sketches in Thyme for the lovely circle vibes!

Scrap a Sketch for sketch #191 - just loved the large circles and focal photo. 

I’m getting inky with the Slashes of Sparkles DSP, Silver Metallic paper, Balmy Blue, Pretty in Pink inks, blending brushes, Beautiful Butterflies bundle, Spotlight on Nature dies, retired nesting circles dies, chevron boarder punch and silver twine. 

Splashes of Sparkles DSP is so pretty! The colour palette gives happy vibes: Azure Afternoon, Balmy Blue, Bubble Bath, Daffodil Delight, gold, Highland Heather, iridescent, Lemon Lolly, Pool Party, Pretty in Pink, Shy Shamrock, Timid Tiger

Together the two layout challenges come together as a lovey Double layout.

Left layout I used blending brushes and Balmy Blue and Pretty in Pink on Whisper White 12x12 to mimic the Splashes of Sparkles DSP on my right die page, I also used a Tim Holtz Splatter stencil with the Balmy Blue and silver metallic ink to create a coordinated design to the right hand layout. It features 4 circle photo mats created with the Spotlight on Nature dies and a focal image created with Beautiful Butterflies bundle dies and scrap of the DSP. A Chevron punched border in the metallic silver paper. 3 Pink ribbon flowers as embellishments.

Right layout features a 12x12 sheet from the Splashes of Sparkles DSP,  banner cluster with the Time to Celebrate sentiment on top, a single 5x7 photo, two butterflies from the Beautiful Butterflies bundle and some silver twine, pink ribbon flowers and chevron cut pits to embellish.

Scrappy Saturday

Welcome to another edition of Scrappy Saturday! Today’s double Valentine Day layout was inspired by two different challenges. 

The left side layout was inspired by the Sketches in Thyme layout 

The right side layout from over at Scrap A Sketch 

I’m getting inky with the Love Story DSP and stickers, Hearts of Love embossing folder and Strawberry Slush & Pretty Pink gems. I’ve paired with the retired Be Mine Stitched dies. 

It’s been a while since I have done two traditional layouts vs a traditional paired with a pocket page but am loving it - still able to fit in lots of photos with the two 3.75x 5.75 photos on the left and than four 3x3 photos on the right.
