Happy Place 31

Hi there! Today I have a layout to share featuring a photo of my sweet husband Scott that was taken while we were on a European vacation a couple of years ago. Unlike me, Scott loves the color orange so I challenged myself to join along with the current Colour Me colour challenge which is all about the color orange!

I'm also playing along with the March Prima Build A Page sketch challenge:

To create the background, I used fun papers from the Prima Cartographer collection along with stamps from the Prima Rust & dust stamp set that my dear friend Sue gifted to me:

I added texture using Prima Modeling Paste, Prima Gesso, Prima Worn Leather and Gilded Color Bloom Spray Mists:

Once the background was complete, I embellished with a variety of Prima flowers and metal trinkets:

Here's the Prima March BAP sketch:

and here's the Colour Me color inspiration graphic:

Many thanks for stopping by! I hope you have a great weekend!

Be Sweet ;)

ART 45

Hi there! I hope you are having a great weekend so far! Today I have a layout to share featuring a photo of a gorgeous work of art that was taken in the Louvre museum while we were vacationing in Paris:

For color inspiration, I joined along with the September Prima Product Pick challenge:

I combined fun patterned papers from the Prima Cartographer collection along with several Prima Trinkets and a variety of Prima flowers:

To add additional interest to the background, I used a Prima stamp and a Prima stencil along with various paints and embossing enamel:

I topped the layout off with Prima crystals:

For sketch inspiration, I joined along with the Scrap Africa challenge. I'm also entering this layout in the current Craft Hoarder's Challenge where the theme is All The Pretty Flowers:

Thanks so much for stopping by ~ I hope you have a great weekend!

when in rome... 35

Hi there! Are you ready for the weekend? I will be at 3:00 pm, when my shift ends :) I wanted to scrap, so I pulled out a photo of Scott and I that was taken several years ago in front of the Roman Colosseum:

I pulled out a few sheets of beautiful Webster's Pages DP from the Western Romance collection, some manufactured flowers and a few die cuts. In case you are wondering what dies I used, here is a list: the pretty butterfly was cut using a Spellbinders Wonderful Wings die, the foliage was cut using a Spellbinders Foliage die, the oval doily was cut using a Spellbinders Floral Oval die.

I sort of feel guilty when use manufactured flowers but I must say, I was crunched for time and it was oh so easy to reach into my stash and grab a few beauties :)

 For sketch inspiration, I played along with the current Once Upon A Sketch challenge which is also asking players to focus on a "Home" theme.

Thanks so much for visiting! Hope you have a great weekend! Be Sweet :)
