March Sketch Challenge at MCS

hello!  It's time to reveal the March Sketch at My Creative Sketches! 

 

First, here is my layout. I used the fun, bright and colorful WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY collection from FANCY PANTS DESIGNS.

 

And here is this month's sketch. I'm not sure why, but this one had me stumped for quite some time, but in the end I am happy with how my layout came together.

 

 

Here are a few close ups of the details...

 

 

 

Rather than the little banner below the photo as the sketch suggested, I wrapped twine around the bottom of the photo and put the title there in place of the flags.

 

 

 

I would love to see your interpretation of the sketch!  Come play along at My Creative Sketches for your chance at this fabulous prize!  Click HERE for details and inspiration from the rest of the design team!

Valentines 2.0

When my kids were done munching down their box of Valentines chocolates from Grandma, I looked at this box and instead of throwing it in the garbage I thought 'I can make something with that!'

 

 

And here is the fun little décor piece I came up with using the sweet Be Loved collection from Fancy Pants Designs.

 

The top of the box was perfect for a mini shadow box.

 

I started by tracing the bottom of the box onto the back of my piece of 6x6 paper. I traced the bottom even though I was going to decorate the top because I knew that way the paper would fit in perfectly.

 

Then I decorated it with paper and embellishments from the collection. It was fun to use some of the really bulky embellishments since I didn't have to worry about it going in an album.

 

Here are some close-ups of the details...

Welcome to the World

I've got a new layout to share today using the new AS YOU WISH collection from Fancy Pants Designs.

 

As soon as I saw this paper with the huge world map on it I knew exactly what I wanted to do! A different take on a layout for a new baby.

 

 

I kept the layout pretty simple so that you could still see a lot of the map.

 

I added a little bit of lace to a sticker to add some texture and dimension and layered it with some flare and a heart I punched out of the new GOLD FOIL paper.

 

A Silhouette cut for a title with another little gold heart inside the 'O'.

 

And I finished the layout off with some twine, lace, tabs and a few more gold hearts.

 

Thanks so much for stopping by today,

I love to read your kind comments.

Something pretty...

I heading out to visit with a friend tomorrow who has been going through a rough time. I wanted to let her know that she is in my thoughts and that I am sending good vibes and thinking of her always so I made a special gift.

 

Since it is a special gift it needed special packaging.

 

I used the Happy Go Lucky collection from Fancy Pants Designs to create a pretty tag.

 

 

I layered it on top of a doily and tied it on with some fun bakers twine.

 

 

I hope she likes it.

Minute to Win It

I know that not every project will be  masterpiece, but I still hate it when a project doesn't come together like you had planned...That is what happened with this layout.

 

I mean, it's all right, it's just not....what I wanted...you know what I mean?

 

Anyways, we played Minute to Win It games at my daughter's 11th birthday party so I knew right away that the clock paper from the Collecting Moments collection would be perfect!

 

 

Thanks for stopping by!

Golden Birthday

This past weekend my son celebrated his Golden Birthday...meaning he turned 3 on the 3rd! So of course I just HAD to go with a gold theme!

 

I used the new GOLD FOIL paper from Fancy Pants Designs to make him a super special party hat!

 

 

And of course we had gold wrapped presents and gold cupcake wrappers too.

 

I can't wait to use the As You Wish collection to scrapbook these photos with it's great gold and navy blue colors...stay tuned for that!

 

Happy Birthday Buddy

Eargloves

I think it is just the cutest thing when kids make up their own words for things! When my hunny brought these earmuffs home and told our little guy what they were he totally skipped over the muffs part and started calling them his eargloves! He just loves these things and wears them both inside and outside...they are a bit too big for him though so most of the time they end up looking more like cheekgloves! LOL

 

 

I used the beautiful winter collection from Fancy Pants Designs called Timber Grove to pull this layout together. All the snowflakes and warm cozy imagery were perfect for it.

Collecting Moments cards

I played around a bit with the Collecting Moments collection from Fancy Pants Designs and made a few cards.

 

 

I took one of the decorative clothespins apart and used it for the body of the butterfly.

 

 

 

I'm loving the new large tags that come in the collections! They are so great for layering.

 

 

Thanks for stopping by!
