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!

Beautiful Dreamer

Hi everyone! For my Glitz Design assignment today I thought I'd go over the top girly and shabby with the Beautiful Dreamer collection. Here's what a created...

Timeless

For this layout, I did lots of heavy distressing and a bit of layering but the design is pretty simple. I love the combination of dusty pink and grey, so pretty!

And a few close-ups,

Believe

For my second layout, I decided to use an old die cut paper to create a shaped page. I also did some masking along with lots of layering and fussy cutting.

Take a closer look,

Thanks so much for joining me today. Have a very glitzy day!!!!!

More MCS Projects

Hey there! I'm back to share the rest of my projects with My Creative Scrapbook's Limited Edition kit. This kit was full of pretty, femenine things such as Glitz Beautiful Dreamer papers, Petaloo flowers, vintage lace and Prima resin pieces.

For my first LO, I created a whimsical page by cutting up one of the Glitz Whatnots and using it as my title/journaling.

I cut up a smaller photo to give the appearance that Emily was about to cross the resin bridge. These embellishments are just so much fun!

The next page came together super quickly thanks to the clear frame included in the kit. I just added a bunch of flowers along with some stitching and a bit of layering.

Here's another one of those Prima resin pieces tucked behing the flowers.

I applied Diamond Stickles on this butterfly to enhance it a little bit.

My third page is full of all things femenine like the Dusty Attic dress form, pretty flowers and pearls. 

I gathered the paper here to hide some lace behind the top layer of paper. There's also a touch of crackle paint on the roses.

I also painted the dress form with Crackle Paint in Tattered Rose.

For my last page with this kit, I used a few sheets of My Mind's Eye Lost and Found 2 papers, so cute and fun!

I added some texture and interest with a Prima mask and Golden Molding Paste.

Here's a look at the beautiful LE kit.

Thanks again for your visit. I really appreciate you taking the time to stop by and leaving sweet comments. Have a wonderful, scrappy rest of the week!

November Reveal at MCS

Hello friends! It's time for another reveal over at My Creative Scrapbook. Today I'm sharing with you my projects created with November's Main kit which features the Welcome Home collection by Bo Bunny with some My Mind's Eye papers thrown in for good measure.

My first layout is titled 'You Are My Home'. It includes a photo taken recently of my husband and kids while apple picking. I did lots of masking here with lots of lace included in the kit.

My next page's 'Happiness is Homemade'. I did more masking here and I punched a few butterflies and trims using my Martha Stewart punches.

I love Liquid Pearls and I used it here in baby blue to enhance the butterflies.

The following LO was created with the MME papers included in the kit which I love! The prints here are so beautiful so I mixed them all together.

Lastly, here's another Bo Bunny page featuring the Dusty Attic frame included in the kit which I painted with brown and blue acrylic and rubbed some Stickles on it.

Here's a picture of the beautiful Main kit.

Thanks so much for taking the time to visit today. If you want more inspiration, swing by MCS DT gallery to see the other gorgeous creations made by our talented girls.

Glitz It Up For Fall

Hello everyone! I was so happy to get the opportunity to play with the beautiful Dance in Sunshine collection. I just love the yellow, grey, teal and purple hues in this collection with a hint of girly grunge, totally reminds me of autumn!

I created this LO with a photo taken last year while pumpkin picking at a nearby farm. Dylan is so cute here with his head full of curls!

I used a screen to mist the paper with brown mist in opposing corners to add interest. I also added flowers, Stickles and machine stitching.

Celebrate Freedom

Thanks so much for all your sweet congratulatory words yesterday about me joining the Glitz Designs DT. I'm really excited!

I hope you all had a great 4th of July holiday. We sure did! We were able to catch our town's fireworks display right before getting away to visit the Crayola Factory, Hershey Park and Chocolate World. It was a blast!!! Now that I'm back I couldn't resist playing with Bo Bunny's layout challenge which asked us to create a layout inspired by an ad. This is what I came up with...

In the spirit of the holiday, I drew inspiration from this ad...

 Love it's grungy appeal which goes perfectly with my style of scrapbooking. All the distressed blues and reds with a touch of white immediately reminded me of Bo Bunny's Liberty collection and I knew I had to scrap this awesome photo of Emily last year right before the fireworks display.

Here are a couple of close-ups:

Does the design look familiar? It probably does as so many people are playing along Nadia's fun sketch challenges twice a month over at Once Upon A Sketch. I was honored to be featured last week and couldn't resist using another of her sketches, they're so easy to put together and beautiful! Here is the design she provided:

Thanks Nadia for another amazing sketch to play with! And thank you for taking the time to stop by today. Have fun crafting!!!
