Creative Scrappers #306: Webelos

Hello and welcome! Today I'm sharing with you my DT layout using Creative Scrappers #306 sketch. This will be my last project with Creative Scrappers as our term comes to a close at the end of this month! It has been FUN!!

I have learned that when I'm working with a sketch or theme that I find difficult, I need to reach for the old-fashioned stuff. Or at least reach for the papers that I keep dismissing for other projects. This has served me well.

This is NOT a difficult sketch. But if you've been following me for a while, you know that I prefer negative space and to work with large mat die cuts. 

Without further ado, here it is. Thank you so much for stopping by today!!

My son joined cub scouts this past school year. He is in the Webelos pack #612.

I thought the little fire die cut was perfect!

The title is made using font I purchased for SCAL.

Creative Scrappers: Hello Berlin!!!

It's that time again!! A new sketch from Creative Scrappers for you to play with this month.

Our Sponsor for this month is Ashley Horton's The Cut Shoppe. I used her 'Around & Around' 

file for this sketch. I did make a mistake with this one though. Can you guess where??

My layout is part of my collection of layouts from my travels to Germany last year.

Thanks for stopping by today!!

Hint: Mistake is here.

Supplies:

Pretty Little Studio: Let's Go Collection

Template from Silhouette Online Store

Ashley Horton The Cut Shoppe file

Cork Stars

Creative Scrappers: One of Those Great Days

It's time for a new sketch reveal with Creative Scrappers!! Here is the sketch.

I will admit, I found this sketch particularly challenging. My own style is all about using small bits of paper instead of large sheets. After scratching my head for a while, I decided to go "old school". By that I mean an older line of paper, older photos, and embrace an older style of scrapping.

The three squares are all 5"x5" each. I still couldn't bring myself to make them 

any larger than that. However, I did manage to bust out the "scrappy" stapler!!

The photo squares and title are a mat file from the Silhouette Online store.

I reached for older photos from 2011. My son was so little!!!

Creative Scrappers: Beautiful

Hello and welcome! Today I'm featuring my version of sketch #303 by Kristine at Creative Scrappers!

I have been slowly working on my vacation photos from Germany. I really wanted to scrap some photos I'd taken without people in them, and use my Altenew Reflection kit.

Without further ado, here is the sketch and my version of it!!

Sketch #303

Stitching defines my scrapbooking style as much
as anything else. Since I don't currently have
working machine, this is hand-stitched.

Aren't these watercolor papers and embellishments beautiful?

The kit came with stamps, wooden embellishments and chipboard.
The misting is Glimmer Mist Cranberry Zing.

I love this bike! I chose it because Germany is filled with bikes everywhere!

I am also entering this into the Scrap the Boys challenge which is to used something new. The reflection kit is definitely new!!

Supplies:

Altenew Reflection Kit

Glimmer Mist Cranberry Zing

Hand-stitching 

Tim Holtz Ruler

Enamel Dots from stash

Creative Scrappers: Wonder

Hello and welcome!! It's the beginning of the month, a new year, and time for a new sketch challenge provided by Creative Scrappers!! I must admit, I am geometrically challenged. I recruited my sister's help to figure out how to cut out the triangles. (Hint: you just need your paper trimmer)

It's been a long time since I made a page in which I "filled it up". But once I got past the head-scratching triangles, it came together rather quickly!!! Thanks Sis!

I reached for so many odds & ends goodies I couldn't begin to tell you

what's all on here! It's a smorg-a-board of happiness!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Paper: American Crafts - Continued; Heidi Swapp - September Skies

The embellishments are from "everywhere". I try to coordinate my
embellishments and don't really keep track of where they come from.

I even managed to sneak in some random stitching!!
It's rather subtle.

Creative Scrappers: Explore

Hello there! Today is my first entry with the Creative Scrappers Design Team!

Here is the sketch:

Pretty easy, huh?! For me, as I started putting this page together, I felt like it was too "square" and "plain". That's when I reached for my sew easy and added stitching to my layout. I think it breaks up the "square" look without taking it away - if that makes any sense.

I reached for all BoBunny - mostly scraps for this page. I did use my Silhouette for the title. Please go back to the Creative Scrappers blog for more inspiration from our fabulous design team!!!

Thanks for stopping by today!!
