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. 

Happy Stampin’

Scrappy Saturday

Welcome to another edition of Scrappy Saturday! Today I am sharing a 12x12 layout.

My design was inspired by playing along with the Sketches in Thyme challenge sketch #699.

I’m playing with the Lovely Blossoms DSP which features the colour palette of Colours: Cloud Cover, Crumb Cake, Old Olive, Petal Pink, Secret Sea and a retired Large Letters Dies. Some unbranded gold twine and pearls coloured with my alcohol markers to match the Secret Sea.

I LOVE this paper pack. The designs are gorgeous and so all the heavy lifting! I fussy cut some of the flowers out of the paper to create my three clusters. Added a HELLO sentiment and added some twine behind the one cluster and some pearl dots scattered.

Scrappy Saturday

Welcome to another edition of Scrappy Saturday! 

Today’s layout was inspired by Sketches in Thyme over on Facebook 

I’m getting inky with the Fragrant Layers bundle, December’s POM True Blue Florals DSP, Balmy Blue and Night of Navy blends, Alphabet À la Mode dies and retired Little Letters dies and pearls. 

Traditional 12x12 layout - this sketch was a lovely way to showcase all the DSP patterns in the True Blue Florals. I opted to keep my floral images neutral in white to help them pop and compliment the paper. Space for a 4x6 photo and a 3x4 photo.

Coordinating Pocket Page has space for 3 more 4x6 photos and then showcasing some more of the pretty papers using up some of my scraps from my traditional layout. I stamped and fussy cut the large floral focal image from the Fragrant Layers along with some of the small flower dies to embellish the 4x3 pockets.  

This ‘good times’ layout will be perfect to showcase some outdoor adventures with our granddaughter. 

Leaning towards doing black and white photos for it. What do you think? 

Happy Stampin’

Socially Scrappy Saturday

Welcome to another edition of Socially Scrappy Saturday! 

Today I am playing with Creative Scrapbookers Magazine’s  October 2025 sketch for my layout inspiration over in their Facebook group. If you’re looking for creative inspiration pop on over and join! 

I have chosen to play with the Pine Tree Trimming stamp set, Snowflake Kisses Dies and Elegant Pine Snowflake DSP as well as the Silent Snowfall DSP. 

The Silent Snowflake DSP is fun - you can sponge over or brayer over it to add pops of colour. I chose to use Shades Spruce and a brayer to add some colour.

I followed the sketch pretty closely for my 12”x12” side. Using the Pine Tree Trimmings trees fussy cut and popped up with some of the smaller Snowflake Kisses dies. My WINTER title was created with the Alphabet A la Mode dies. I created some torn snowbanks along the bottom and added some Wink A Stella to make it glisten. 

Pocket page side coordinates with the Pine Tree Trimmings and Snowflake Kisses dies carried over.

This layout is ear marked for a family hike at the local conservation area photos where we got to feed birds right from our hands - there were so many gorgeous birds! 

Happy Scrappin’
