Love

Wednesday's blog post showcased a digital layout from a beautiful wedding I attended this summer.  Today I wanted to share with you the paper version.  I used the Ace of Spades from Idea Deck Vol. I as my inspiration.

For the title I covered the wooden title with ink and then stamped a script image and let dry.  

 The washi tape border has black Nuvo drops for added depth.

 

 



This Day

Today I'm showcasing a digital scrapbook layout created for the Club Scrap Surprise Blog Hop.  Once again I'm grateful for the Fiddle-Dee-Dee Designs free monthly template which I used here today.

 

Every month Club Scrap releases a digital hybrid collection that coincides with their paper collection.  The digital collection consists of digital papers, border strips, tags, images and sayings. You can print the pages out on your printer and create paper masterpieces or use them digitally.  

 

I turned one of the Surprise background papers into a 12x12 image and changed the color to blue in Photoshop Elements. I then filled in the template with additional digital elements.

Fun Surprise Sketch

January's card sketch challenge threw me for a bit.  It was something about the orientation of the sketch that I just couldn't make anything happen for me.  So when other posters rotated the sketch, it totally clicked for me. I love getting inspiration from other crafters, even as simple as a rotating twist.

Sip Sip Hooray

I knew the minute I saw the Surprise jumbo unmounted stamps that I HAD to have them!  The assorted drink glasses and the "Sip, Sip, Hooray!" had me sold.

 

One rainy day I stamped and colored tons of images to be used later.  These Club Scrap Surprise stamps work perfectly with my Free Spirit stamps and dies.

Lean on Me

Paper Smooches is hosting an Anything Goes challenge.  I love their stamps and dies so this was a hard decision for me.  Until my dear "sister-from-another-mother" broke her ankle running.  See...exercise is bad for you! ;-) Thought this would cheer her up.

I'm actually surprised that I got those crutches mostly lined up by winging it.
