May sketch at SC

Hello everyone!  Have you seen the sketch at Scrappingclearly for this month?  here it is:

Here is my take on it - based on Maggie Holmes Open Book ... with lots of bits and pieces from my Scrappingclearly stash as well :)

You'll see I've used embellishments for some of the circle elements ...

I still love adding a splash of sequins!

Hope you can play along with our sketch this month!

Life is beachy

Hello everyone!  I'm here to share my acrylic album with you today.  Now, I am not a mini album type of gal - sure, I've done a few in my time, but it's not my go to project.  In saying that, this would have to be the EASIEST album I have ever created!!  I LOVE the clear acrylic - and the Hambly we received was perfect for the pages.

So, here is the front:

I decided to document our beach holiday last year - and add some photos that I haven't scrapped ..

I have used the Simple Stories  Summer Vibes range which is PERFECT for this ...

I actually love that the pages are see through ... a bit quirky!

As you can see, I've kept every page very simple ...

A journal card, a frame and some stickers is sometimes all you need!

I also didn't want to add too much extra bulk ...

and the perfect journal card for the back cover:

and there you go - a quick, easy and fun mini album!!

Make today awesome

So cute

Hello everyone!   I am sharing another page created with the awesome Simple Stories Carpe Diem range.

In my DT kit, I also received Heidi Swapp Clear Alphas White.  I love these!!!  I wanted to make a feature of them here, so I stuck them to my background, gesso'd over the top and misted and stamped over that.

Adds some fun texture!

Sweet

Scrapbooking Top 50 March Challenge!

A few of our DT members celebrate birthdays in March, so we decided on a nice sweet challenge for the month!! That's right, this months challenge is a word challenge. The word we would like to see on your page is 'SWEET'!!

You are welcome to use other words on your creation, but we must be able to see the word SWEET! You are also welcome to enter items other than traditional 12x12" layouts - cards, Project Life spreads, art journal pages, off the page creations - as long as they meet the challenge criteria and are created solely for our challenge. 

Our sponsor this month is... WORDS OR WHATEVER - WOW!!!
