Glitz CHA Projects

Hello again! I am so excited because for the first time, I was invited to send in my layouts to CHA! Although I was not able to attend, the next best thing was playing with the luscious new collections from Glitz and today I get to share them with you!

We were asked to create two layouts with each collection, one 12x12 and one 8x8. First up, the beautiful French Kiss. I really love the neutral colors and vintage imagery in this collection.

Next up, is Pretty In Pink. This collection is so sweet and easy to work with. I love that the embellishments range from sweet and bright to grungy and vintage.

And finally, the Happy Travels collection is just darling! There's muted creams and blues but also rich brown and sienna tones, LOVE it! 

So what do you think about the new collections? If you're anything like me, I know you can't wait to play with these papers and embellishmens! Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek today, have a wonderful week!!!

Photo Inspiration with Glitz Design

Hello again! As you probably know by now, Glitz blog challenge this month is to draw inspiration in the photo below for our projects. Easy task I thought as the photo is simply gorgeous!

For my first layout, I used the photo as a sketch and tried to recreate its design features.

The Peek-A-Boo frame made it easy to include the round element in place of the mirror and all the fussy cut flowers helped me re-create the garland on the mantle. Here's a couple of close-ups...

For my next layout, I wanted to create a wintry page using a monochromatic palette, just like in the photo. Though Glitz doesn't have a winter-themed collection, I thought blue, cream and ivory would help me scrap this photo of my daughter wearing a Santa hat (though I cropped the red part off).

I used a mini album page and a doily die  for my background. I also stamped a couple of images onto my page.

Thanks so much for visiting today. I hope you found inspiration in my post. And don't forget, Glitz Blog challenge of the month is still going on!

MCS January Sketch Challenge

Happy Monday all! My Creative Sketches is hosting its first sketch challenge of the year and the sketch is beautiful and inspiring. This is my take on the sketch...

I used the beautiful Prima Romantique collection with lots of flowers and Dusty Attic chipboard mixed in. Here's a closer look:

These flowers are so exquisite, I just love them!

I painted the chipboard frame with crakle paint and inked the edges for a soft look.

As you may know, Pam is always very generous with her prizes, take a look at the amazing goodies up for grabs this month!

I do hope you have time to play along! Head over to My Creative Sketches to be inspired by the other DT examples and join in on the fun!

January Limited Edition Kit Reveal

Hello again! Today I'm sharing my projects with the wonderful LE kit from My Creative Scrapbook for the month of January. The kit features the beautiful and whimsical collection, Winter Fairy Tales by Webster's Pages along with heaps of gorgeous embellishments.

Magic All Around. Though it's a winter collection, it really is very versatile so I decided to use this fun photo of Emily I took a couple of months ago while playing in the backyard.

A few close-ups...

I did lots of fussy cutting and detailing. The fairy above was treated with Stickles on its wings and the medallion below was covered with Crackle Accents.

Winter Joy. My next page was also very fun to create. I actually took my paper and cut out all the stars while watching a movie.

Here's a closer look...

The Place... I'm slowly scrapping the pictures from our trip to Disney World. I thought this collection lends itself for the theme.

Sweet Smiles. My last page came together very quickly. I just did a little masking and then I placed some embellies around my photo.

I love Webster's story teller stickers and the kit came with three different colors of them!

There's tons more inspiration in the MCS DT gallery so be sure to check it out! Thanks so much for stopping by today. Enjoy the rest of the weekend!
