YES!

My oldest grandson just got himself engaged to a beautiful young lady and I have the priviledge of scrapping their engagement page.  I suspect I will have the priviledge of scrapping all their pages in the future and I am really looking forward to that.

I have used the Monday sketch challenge from Creative Inspiration to create this layout. I choose S.E.I. Black Orchid papers for this layout.

I started with a sheet of black Prism cardstock and I used a piece of cardboard stencil that I found lying around, I don't know where it came from. I mixed Daler-Rowner Simply acrylic Mother of Pearl Structure Gel with Gelatoes and used it with the stencil to form a border on the lower left of the page.

I then used my Kreations circle cutter and Kreations stencil to cut the frame for my photo, and glued those together.

Then I fussy cut some flowers from the paper to use. I wanted a bit of a variety.

Here is the finished layout.

Mommy and me

Such a gorgeous Saturday morning here with the sun brightly shining but it is cold, very very cold.
I decided yesterday to do another one of Sketches in Thyme sketches. I really loved this sketch. I am starting to like these layouts with lots of empty space instead of the heavily loaded pages. I never used to like them, I always felt that something was missing.

I started with a sheet of pale yellow Prism cardstock, and used a TCW stencil with Simply Acrylic Mother of Pearl Stucture Gel.  Once that was dry I smudged on some Lindy's Maidhair Fern Green ink.  Then I cut a couple of strips of PhotoPlay Roxie and Friends Paper. I distressed the paper a bit and adhered it to the cardstock. I cut a couple of flourishes from a cut file from the Silhouette store with my Cameo and adhered those, then I made a couple of flowers with a cut file with my Cameo and picked some from my stash and adhered those, until I thought it looked good. Then I cut the title with my Cameo and adhered that to complete my layout.

Sunny Sunday

I am so happy that Sunday has arrived.  I love Sundays it is my favourite day of the week, right next to Wednesdays. It is church time and I love to listen to our Pastor, he can teach the word of  God better than anyone I have ever heard.  Therefore, I love the days that he is teaching.  :)

I have completed two more challenges from Creative Inspiration . One was to create your own background. Now I have to admit that this one did not turn out as I had imagined it.  Yes, I did do it exactly the way I planned but some how I thought it would be prettier than it is. I thought the colour would "pop" more. I used Golden's soft gel with Daler-Rowney's blue paint on a TCW stencil. The Butterfly is an unknown stencil. The Celebrate and flower sticker are both from Studio 112.

This challenge required the use of a die cut. The frame is my die cut. On this card I used papers from Photo Play. I just can't get enough of these papers. They are most definitely the best papers I have used.  Their quality is remarkable and they are so versatile. As a matter of fact, I have asked my LSS to order in 4 different packages of them for me because right now all I have are two packages of the Plaid4Fun. The frame was cut using a cut file from the Silouette store and cut with my Cameo from plain white cardstock. The lace is Floral Garden. The flower is cut from a cut file from the Silouette store and cut from Bazzil cardstock using my Cameo. The I love you is from the Plaid4Fun package.

I have also done a sketch challenge for Stick it Down
Once again I have used PhotoPlay papers, Plaid4Fun, Bazzil Cardstock, I used my Cameo to cut the flowers.  I used Liquitex Blended fiber's with a Tim Holtz stencil for texture and I used Faber-Castell Pitt Artist pen for the "Faux" stitching.

Okay, that's it for now I am off to see what other challenges I can dig my teeth into.
