Scrappy Saturday Fun

Welcome to another edition of Scrappy Saturday I spent the morning having fun creating a double layout using some sketchy inspiration!

Scrapbooking Global March challenge to use masculine materials with a feminine vibe. 

Sketches in Thyme for my left side layout - love the 5 photo layout #701 by Brandi Jo. 

Scrap a Sketch #202 for my right side layout - love the circle photo mat. 

I’m getting inky with some old favourites paired with new goodies. I’ve pulled out my Country Living and Geared Up Garage stamp sets for my masculine element. The Modern Mosaic embossing folder, nesting circles, a label punch and unbranded twine. Paired with the new Capturing Smiles, Painted Illusions DSP from February POM, metallic silver specialty paper, Unforgettable Times Mix and Match ephemera and  coordinating blends to colour with Lost Lagoon, Pool Party, Flirty Flamingo, Petal Pink, Darling Duckling, Smokey Slate and Crumb Cake 

. 

Game together as a lovely double layout to showcase some fun photos from attending a Country Farm fair. 

Some close up views to help show the texture and dimensions in the design combo.

Scrappy Saturday

Welcome to another edition of Scrappy Saturday! 

Today’s 12x12 layout was inspired by playing along with a sketch from Stick it Down over on Facebook.

I’m getting inky with the Cutest Crew bundle, Painted Illusions 12x12 DSP, Alphabet À la Mode dies, retired Swirly Birds dies, Sunshine Sayings Dies, rhinestones and unbranded Silver Twine.

Final Smiles for Kitty is the perfect layout for photos of our granddaughter playing with the girls. 

Paired nicely with last week’s layout for a double layout.

Scrappy Saturday

Welcome to another edition of Scrappy Saturday. I am sharing a single 12x12 layout today. 

Today layout was inspired by playing along with sketch #697 by Janessa Franco over in the Sketches in Thyme group on Facebook.

I’m getting inky with some sneak peek online exclusive items coming  in March; the Capturing Smiles bundle and the Cutest Crew bundle along with February’s Product of the month Paper Illusions 12x12 DSP with the gorgeous Colour palette of : Darling Duckling, Flirty Flamingo, Granny Apple Green, Lost Lagoon, Misty Moonlight, Petal Pink, Pretty Peacock, Triple banner punch and from my stash nesting circle dies and a mini postage punch, rhinestones and unbranded silver twine. 

 

Is it so pretty? A fun palette for upcoming projects like Easter and St Patrick’s Day! 

Final results turned out cute with an 4x6 and two 3x4 photo mats which will showcase photos of the granddaughter playing with our 3 furry babies!

Scrappy Saturday

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

 

Sketches in Thyme for my left side layout this lovely one feature photo and the cool banner of tags. 

Sketch N Scrap February 1st sketch for my right side for the adorable 2 photo sketch with heart inspirations.

I’m getting inky with the Love Notes 6x6 Mix and Match DSP, ink colours Azure Afternoon, Highland Heather, Garden Green, Flirty Flamingo, Triple Banner punch, Strawberry Slush & Pretty in Pink gems and from my retired stash a label punch, Be Mine stitched dies and Beauty Abounds and Artisan Textures stamp sets, pink bakers twine and floral ribbon.

Love the traditional double layout. I had gotten so use to using my pocket pages for my second page I forgot how fun having the two large 12x12 canvas to work with. The colour palette in the Love Notes 6x6 DSP is just a gorgeous rainbow of bright spring colour & vibes!

Left side close up - love how clever placement of 6x6 papers and embellishments can work on a 12x12 layout design. I trimmed the mix n match square designs to create the banners. Stamped textures and splotches randomly to pull the colours together. Instead of the punched tags I made faux looking using the bakers twine and cutting the floral ribbon to adorn each tag in my banner.

Right side close up. To coordinate my two page layout design I carried on the banner to my right side vs the strip across in the sketch. Embellishments hide my seams in the purple 6x6 paper stretched to appear like a 9x9 square.

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. 

Happy Scrappin’
