Wonderful For Scrapbudz

Hi everyone!! I'm a little late in putting up my DT post for the June Sketch Challenge at Scrapbudz .....I'm sorry.....it's been a trying couple of weeks! Anyways......here we go.

Our challenge this month is this gorgeous sketch by Vanessa

Love, love, love her sketches!!! And here's my take on it.......

 
I know, it's completely different!! But the essence of the sketch is there!! I just moved the elements around!! Plus, I only had one pic to work with for this LO, so I had to make the best of it!!

Papers are Graphic 45 & BoBunny. I circle cut the pink gingham paper, and then used my Martha Stewart corner punch on the edge. I got this idea from Lisa G at What A Beautiful Mess (do check out her blog for more great ideas, and tutorials). Next I layered 2 postcards from K & Co, which I promptly distressed with Tim's inks & tools. Here's a closeup.....

 
In between, and over the postcards, I added some Webster's Pages Bloomers, a die cut, a Tim Holtz charm and a whole lot of fussy cut flowers (G45 pp). I added some Ranger Liquid Pearls to the centers of the flowers.

 
Sorry, bad pic of the left side. I used Lindy's Stamp Gang Starburst Sprays over some TH Distress Ink on the Tattered Angels frame. It's too bad that you can't see the shimmer, cause there's a lot of it!!! I love LSG products!!! So I layered a fussy cut fairy over the frame and just touching my pic, and then added a few more flowers.

 
More LSG Sprays & Magical Micas, were used on the Kaisercraft birdhouse. I also added a piece of cream cardstock to the back of the cage......cause it was getting lost. I stamped over it with my all time fave script stamp from Hampton Arts & brown StazOn. A few pearls pn the bottom edge & a Timmy dangly bit (not the actual name). I fussy cut the fairy, and added Glossy Accents (Ranger) to her wings. I know, you can't see that either!

 
And here's my title....a K & Co diecut!! I used Lisa G's technique for adding ribbon & brads (MME).

So that's my project. I hoe you enjoy it as much as I do.

Happy Scrapping

This particular LO is definitely something different for me. First, I rarely ever use cardstock for my backgrounds. Secondly, I almost never handwrite my journaling, and thirdly, I'm really not a big fan of stickers. If I do use them, I do so sparringly. I really couldn't tell you why, especially since I have a lot of them!! I do have to admit, that I just cannot pass by the K&Co diecuts & stickers without being mesmerized. And of course, I have to buy them!! Once they've found their new home with me, they just hang on my Clip-It-Up, until I decide I need something for a project. Then, I lovingly go through them, one by one, and once again I'm spellbound. But more often then not, they just hang there. Sad!!

Anyways......I was looking for some flowers for this project, and I didn't have much of anything that matched the papers I chose by Imaginisce & Making Memories. So off to my stash I went, and once again, I fell in love! And I decided to actually use some of them! As you can see, I've used a lot of older products on this LO. I'm trying very hard to keep up my New Year's Resolution, and use up my stash. I still have a lot, and I gave Ashley a ton of stuff before she left!!!

 
Really, the only 'new' things on this LO are these red Recollections flowers!! The little owls are also Recollections. I can't remember who makes the journaling tag...I want to say it's Me & My Big Ideas. But that could be wrong.

 
What do you think about those alphas? More Recollections, from a couple of years ago.

 
Again they were the only alphas that matched...but not really. You see, the letters came in a mixed package, and these were red & pink. I really didn't want to add more pink on this LO. So........I took out my Sharpies, and colored the backs of the pink ones. Perfect match!!!

Yep....feeling like I need to do a real girly LO!! With lots of bling and layers, and flowers !! Oh yeah!!! That's more my style!!

Stay tuned...... coming up next ...........Mojo Monday at Scrapbudz. And it's my turn again!!!!! And I'm already hard at work on something very special.

Love ya,

I just love the May sketch by Vanessa, for Scrapbudz !!

And here's my take on it.......

 
I had a lot of fun making this one!! Papers are from Imaginisce and Making Memories. I fussy cut around the MM paper to make my fancy edge. The circle 'doily' was made using a Martha Stewart corner punch. Lots of faux stitching....wish I hadn't put my sewing machine in storage, when I moved. Cardstock is SEI, ribbon is from my stash.

 
Flowers are Recollections (red) and K&Co stickers. Journaling spot is Me & My Big Ideas. Ticket is My Mind's Eye. The alphas, are Recollections....some of which we're pink....I colored the backside of them with a red Sharpie!! Buttons are from my stash.

Did you notice the hand journaling? Ugh, I hate my handwriting, and I can't seem to write in a straight line. Which is probably why, I don't do it very often!! Here's a closeup......

 
The little owl stickers are Recollections. I've used a lot of older products on this LO. I'm definietly using up a lot of my stash!! And, making room for new stuff!!

As much as I love doing Vintage Romantic Chic layouts, I really enjoy doing the 'kid' thing, and it's a stretch, cause I really have to work on not 'blinging' it up!! Plus I can use brighter colors too!!

Stay tuned for more of my Prima projects!!!

Love ya,

Lynne
