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.

Slimline Sunday

Welcome to another edition of Slimline Sunday - with a little encore of the Shadow Blocking technique. 

Today’s card was inspired by playing along to a few challenges:

Stamp with Anne’s Stamp2Cr8 Community “inky fingers” team challenge where Anne gives team members a few papers & embellishments elements to a create with and we choose our own stamps and final design.

The Paper Players - looking forward to fall challenge #PP779

Just Us Girls challenge Mood board #JUG837 with the gorgeous sunflowers 🌻 

Another round of Tic Tac Toe challenge #tttc299 middle row for across for the win - fun slimline fold with a technique, radiant gems and 

Spotlight on Nature die.

I’m getting inky with the Fun for Fall, Sunflower Fields DSP, Spotlight on Nature dies, Mossy Meadow gingham ribbon, Radiant Gems.

Fun “Hay There” card for a fall occasion. The Spotlight Technique is a great way to showcase all the pretty paper which is handy when you can’t decide which side of the paper to showcase. I do not want to rush the last of summer but I do love Fall for its gorgeous colours, warm days with cool nights and the deliciousness that is crockpot season with delicious Fall favourite meals! 

What’s your favourite things about Fall?
