Snow Much Fun

Hey everyone. I have my take on this week's challenge at The Studio Challenges to share with you today. It's a mood board challenge. I had been wanting to create a layout with these photos and paper line for awhile now, and the mood board matched perfectly. I used Pinkfresh Studio's 'Noteworthy' collection for this page of my grandson, niece and nephew. They has such a blast that day. For the background I tried a new technique from Missy Whidden. I first applied watered down distress oxide with the packaging technique. I then stamped some snowflakes with distress oxide and using a water brush I moved alot of the colour around for a more water colour effect. Love how it turned out and can't wait to try this with some floral stamps. The cut file was from Kim Watson, created for Hip Kit Club.  Below are some close ups and the mood board. Thanks for stopping by.

Let's Stick Together

Hey everyone. Here's my take on the November You + Me = Love challenge at Scrap the Boys. The photo is of me and my grandson. I used PhotoPlay's 'Stuck on You' collection. This is such a fun line. For the background I applied some modelling paste through a Vicki Boutin stencil and then added watered down distress ink with a paint brush and the packaging technique. I also added splatters. The cutfile I used was from JustNick. I was also inspired by a sketch from the weekly sketches at Hip Kit Club. Below are some close ups and the challenge. Thanks for stopping by.

Hey Papa

Hey everyone. I’m back with June’s Golden Globe Stash Challenge from Scrap Our Stash. This month's movie inspired me to create a layout of my Dad and grandson. For the stash part of the challenge you were to use items in your stash for each letter in the word father. I used the following:

F : foil
A : alpha die
T : tags, thread
H : hemp, heart
E : enamel dots
R : Ranger ink, ruled paper


I used My Mind's Eye's 'Hey Mister' collection for my page. The title of this line also inspired the title of my layout. For the background I used distress ink. Using the packaging technique I applied the blue. I used stamps for the grey circles and then added splatters. I also used a sketch from the Hip Kit Club's weekly sketches for this layout. Some close ups and the challenge is below. Thanks for stopping by.

Love at First Sight

Hey everyone. I can’t believe we have come to the December challenges at Scrap Our Stash!! My how time flies!!! For this month’s tic tac toe challenge I picked the bottom row: frame, the color green and sequin. I used Maggie Holmes' 'Carousel' collection from Crate Paper.  I absolutely love this photo of my niece and grandson, when he was just one day old. Definitely love at first sight!! Below are some close ups and the challenge. Thanks for stopping by.

Everyday Moments

Hey everyone. I bought my first Hip Kit Club kit. WOW!!! Lots of goodies in these kits. This was the September kit, which was full of Paige Evans' 'Turn the Page' collection from Pink Paislee.  I used Vicki Boutin's art crayons to create the background, along with some distress ink spray and color shine. I decided to play along with the weekly sketch on the Hip Kit Club Facebook member forum. This layout was based on the October 6-12th sketch. Thanks for stopping by.
