Sketches in Thyme: July Week 3 Reveal~

It's Reveal Day at Sketches in Thyme!

It's week 3 of their weekly sketch challenges. Each week a new sketch to inspire and get your creative juices flowing.

Here is the layout that I created based on this week's sketch.

Here is the sketch that I based my layout off of.

I created my layout using patterned paper and embellishments from the HomeMade collection from Pebbles Inc.

This collection had just enough glitz and glam to go with Margaret's New Years Eve photo!

I adore this glittered title!!

I picked up this pack of gold glittered titles while at My Stamping Studio.

Thanks for stopping by to check out my creation!

May Arts Ribbon: Ribbon Scraps Blog Hop~

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Today the May Arts Ribbon Ribbonista's are hopping along together to showcase some quick and easy ideas to use up your Ribbon Scraps!

We all have them, tiny shards of your favourite ribbon stashed somewhere in your craftroom.

My self, I have a large jar in my craftroom, where I keep all of my beautiful May Arts Ribbon scraps.

All of the scraps in the jar are under 12" long. So I just dug in and picked a variety of bright colours to create my card.

I wanted to create a bright and cheerful starburst sort of look.

Here are the ribbons I used:

3/4" Green and Orange Chevron

1/2" Knotted Edge Satin in Teal and Red

Large White Pom-Pom

Then I added some great red glitter letter stickers from Anna Griffin, a button and some sequins.

Thanks so much for stopping by to check out my Ribbon Scraps creation.

Pocket Letter Creations #2~

Today is just a simple share of a couple of Pocket Letters that I had recently created.

I love using up the last bits of kits or collections, making a Pocket Letter. You use up those small pieces of patterned paper, those random stickers that you just could not use on your scrapbook pages, and those journal cards that are just too cute not to use.

The second PL I created for someone that is creating a Sock Monkey PL for me too!

I must say, I kinda LOVE this one!

I even got to use some adorable paper that a VERY good friend gave me!

Thanks for stopping by!

Layout Frenzy Creations~

Today I am sharing 3 layouts that I recently created while at my very first Layout Frenzy at My Stamping Studio in Windsor.

I was itching to make it to one, as friends had been and had a great time. So finally it worked with my families schedule. Generally what happens at a layout frenzy is, in 6 hours you create 4 double page layouts. You are given sketches and actual samples created using the sketches.

I knew this going in, so I prepared and brought lots of photos, including ones that would work great as a double page layout. That didn't quite happen, I got into the store and was inspired by papers that just did not go with my multi photos. I went in a different direction. I created 3 single layouts, Shelley and I had to leave a little early so I packed up before starting my 4th layout.

My first layout is created using the beautiful Fancy That collection.

I love it's beautiful golds, and muted tones.

I also added my title word lovely, a sticker from Pink Paislee.

My second layout was created using the Life Documented collection from Simple Stories.

Great fun colours that could be used for so many every day moments.

Another title sticker was used from my Pink Paislee stickers.

I also added some scalloped May Arts Ribbon, and a Prima Marketing flower.

My final layout was created using patterned paper and die cut embellishments from Crate Paper's, Open Book collection.

LOVE this collection, it's just SO pretty.

I love those hints of shimmering gold.

Thanks so much for stopping by to check out my creations from the Layout Frenzy.

The oh so talented Karan Gerber is guest designing this month with the Limited Edition Kit. She IS Sketchabilities, she creates these beautiful sketches to inspire us all. So I decided to create one of my layouts based on her most recent sketch #141.

I love to mix and match letter stickers to create my titles.

I also created this quick and easy little card using the Prima Stencil and some Whipped Spackle from Faber Castell.
