So many blessings…

Good morning everyone! Sketch N Scrap has a brand new sketch by Mandy:

And here’s my take on it:

I used 2 white doilies instead of one large circle, adding a journal card. Journaling reads:

My cousin Randy gives out the best hugs. Just look how happy my aunt is!

The doilies are Bo Bunny; enamel shapes are Webster’s Pages and cork ampersand is Studio Calico. All other products – pattern paper, journal card and die cuts – are from Elles Studio “Thankful” collection. When this collection first hit stores last year, I was hesitant, as it was blues and pinks and turquoise. A bit odd for family and “thanksgiving” pictures. But my fave store – A Cherry On Top – offered all Thanksgiving/Autumn collections 40-70% off during the 4th of July. The more I looked at the collection, the more I wanted it. And I snagged most of it. LOL. 2-4 sheets of each paper, die cuts, journal cards, embelliest, etc. Once it was delivered…WOW! It was even more gorgeous in person. I’m so happy I bought it!!

Make sure you stop by Sketch N Scrap and check out the rest of DT’s creations. Amazing work as always!

TFL! 🙂

Giving Thanks

Good afternoon! I had my scrappy friends over this weekend, and it was alot of fun (as always!) I worked on Thanksgiving 2014 pics and managed to get 5 layouts done. I only have just a few more pics to go, and by the looks at it, I think I get this album done in about 3 layouts! 🙂

The first one is based on the Scraplift the Guest Designer Challenge I’m hosting over at ACOT. Here is Nancy’s original layout:

And here is my take on it:

I used Basic Grey “Persimmon” collection (papers, stickers), with cork embellishments from CTMH and Elle’s Studio.

I created my own Project Life card based on this sketch from Sketches in Thyme:

I rotated it counter clockwise to better suite my needs.

With the creation of that PL card, this layout also fits the Guest Designer’s Challenge #4 – Using Project Life cards! Win-win-win!

TFL! 🙂
