Scrapbook Layout, Simple Scrapper, Sketches

Wow. Another year done at Simple Scrapper and the templates this month are some of my favourites. Also, if you’re a member, have you checked out this month’s Spark magazine? It’s gorgeous! If you’re not a member, you’re missing out this month, truly, but you can still see all the Creative Team work and get inspired over at the Team Gallery!

My template LO this month has a fun pic of Molly and I at the beach:

There’s a bunch of shine here too – gold buttons and shimmer mist:

And of course, lots of layers with paper, doilies, and stitching:

My Story Starter Layout is one of my favourites. The photo of Gabe is from a visit to Lester’s Farm with my brother and his family while they were home for a visit this fall:

I love using songs for titles and I really love mixing up alphas, especially when I can pull out the gold ones!

I finished this one off with a bunch of die cuts:

When you go check out the Team Gallery make sure you scroll down. All the Team bios and links are there, along with a few recent LO’s – lots of eye candy! Plus you can get even more at our Pinterest board for Team Layouts.

Cheers!

Classes, Sketches, Studio Calico, Wanderlust, YLA2014

A couple of weeks ago the new session of my Yearlong Class started up again and so far it seems like we’re going to have a ton of fun!

All the classes are sketch based this year and we’re lucky enough to have had Mary Ann design all the exclusive sketches for us – you can only get them in this class! If you like sketches or want to learn more about how to use them to suit you, this is the last chance to sign up and get in on the good times.

Our paper this year is from the Studio Calico Wanderlust collection and I wanted to show a bunch of colours and patterns to start off the year, which led to this cover page LO:

That big black and white block was meant for a 4×6 photo but I liked how it looked on its own so much that I think I’m going to leave it as is – designer’s perogative! 🙂

The initial kit includes some amazing resist alphas stickers and cork hearts:

And some fabulous gold alphas and flair:

The January LO is fairly simple but I taught how to stretch a sketch and alter it to suit your photo needs:

We used more of those resist alphas with some enamel dots:

and gold letters with October Afternoon labels:

and finished it off with great Project Life arrow stickers:

I think there may be one kit left so if you want to get the amazing core kit and initial instructions and then join us for the rest of the year, now is the time to go for it!

As always, I’ll be posting to twitter, instagram, and Facebook with #YLA2014 so keep an eye out for sneak peeks close to the end of each month.

Keep Calm & Love On

Designer Digitals, Printables, SimpleScrapper, Sketches, Studio Calico, The Crafter's Workshop

I was taking a poke around the Simple Scrapper website (Krista used to be on their Design Team and introduced me to it) and I found a great printable that I just had to use.

As soon as I saw the “Keep Calm and Love On” card I laughed and knew the exact picture for it! I kept poking around, looking at some of their sketches and found the Template Jane sketch. I changed it up a little, of course – that’s the beauty of sketches! – and ended up with this LO:

Keep Calm and Love On

Used my Crafter’s Workshop stencils and Clay Mist, naturally, my faves, and a bunch of washi tape.

I layered on the Glossy Accents – remember my very first Technique post? – and the shine on the wood veneer hearts is awesome!

Glossy Accents and Rock Candy stickles – a girl’s best friends!

Finally, my favourite part, a real stroke of genius I think, my pumpkin!

shiny pumpkin!

That’s a wood veneer apple from the Studio Calico School Icons! Is that the best, or what?!? Patting myself on the back for that one! 🙂

Love how this turned out, easy to do, still looks like me even though it’s from a sketch, and the journaling is actually out in the open for once, thanks to Ali Edwards!

Do you use sketches? What’s your favourite place to find them? And do you love shiny hearts as much as me?
