July 2014 Sketch Challenge at Blue Fern Studios

   Another month and another great sketch challenge by the Blue Fern Studios. I love their sketches and whenever I find enough time to create a project I take part in their challenges. This is my take on their sketch this month. I used two older collections from Webster's Pages that I've had in my stash for a few years but all the same with very beautiful papers. They are Garden Gala and Hollywood Vogue. The BFS chipboard pieces I used are from 'The Optimist Set' and the 'Brigitte Butterfly Set'. I only used one half of the biggest butterfly in the set which was cut in two. I put some Diamond Stickles on the chipboard pieces and then brushed over with white acrylic paint.

Here is the sketch:

and the layout:

'Delightful'

    As you can see there are a lot of gorgeous Prima flowers, the pink heart trim from Webster's Pages, some laces from my stash, wooden embellishments, fussycut elements from different papers, black Prima pearls in different sizes, some doilies, word stickers from WP, the Snow Cap Adirondack Acrylic Paint Dabber from Ranger, etc. I used the white acrylic paint for the chipboard pieces, the flowers and I painted the edges of the layout with it. I made my own texture/modelling paste from a recipe I found on Gabrielle Pollacco's blog together with the Crafters Workshop mini bricks template which I used to create the background of the layout.

My Layout for the Blue Fern Studios June Sketch Challenge

   This is my layout for the June sketch challenge at BFS. I didn't follow the sketch exactly as it is - I mirrored the sketch and made some changes.

   Here's the sketch:

and the layout:

You Are My Sunshine

   I used papers from the Sun Kiss collection from Prima, some Prima flowers, wooden embelishments, other scrapbooking products and of course the Blue Fern Studios piece of chipboard Sunshine from 'The Optimist word set'.

My layout for the Blue Fern Studios July Sketch Challenge

   Hello, everyone! Today I'm posting the layout I made for the BFS July Sketch Challenge. It's made with the New Beginnings collection from Webster's Pages. It's a beautiful collection and also versatile. I had to make some small changes to the sketch. I also used different chipboard pieces than the ones featured on the sketch. I used the two smaller butterflies from the "Brigitte Butterfly Set" because they went so well with the rest of the page.

   Here's the sketch:

   And here's the layout:

Live, Laugh, Love

   I did some fussy cutting (the small butterflies, the leaves and some flowers). I used flowers from Prima Marketing, some small wooden flowers and some rhinestones and Prima pearls. I added some lace that I had in my scrapbook stash.  

   The chipboard pieces I used are from the "Brigitte Butterfly Set". I just sprayed them with some glimmer mist and glued down one single pearl in the center because I thought they were beautiful just the way they were.

PRIMA Sparkling Spring Mini Album

   I've been working on a mini album for a while and I wanted to show you what I've done until now. The album is not finished yet but since I haven't posted for almost a month I thought it would be a good idea to do just that.
   I've used the Sparkling Spring collection by Prima, and some other Prima flowers waiting in my scrapbook stash to be used. The photos are of my daughter, taken at different age and different occasions. Since the album is not finished yet here are just a few pages. I'll post the rest when they are ready.

   I added eyelets to all of the pages but you cannot see that on some of the photos because they were taken earlier. The final pages are due soon.

   Here are some of the final pages of the album. It took me a while to finish it but I'm finally near the end. 

   Hope you like it! Bye for now!

   

'Beautiful summer days' - a layout made using Prima's Sun Kiss collection

   Hello everyone! Fall has already started but with this warm weather I still feel inspired to scrap spring and summer photos. I have tons of photos taken, waiting to be scrapped. The photo I chose for this layout is among my favorite photos of my daughter. The layout is based on the Prima's September Build-a-Page sketch and since we had to use their products on the project I decided to use the Sun Kiss collection which I simply love. Everything about this collection is simply adorable: the patterned papers, the flowers, the chipboard pieces and all the other embellishments. The colors of this collection make me think of beautiful and warm summer days full of sunshine. That's where the title comes from. 

   Don't you just love that bicycle? It's so cute.

My first post!!! A layout, Websters Pages mini album and a Prima mini album!!!

  Welcome to my blog where I will be sharing my scrapbooking projects. I already have some projects to share with you. They were made a while ago but I'll still put pictures of them.The first one is a layout of my daughter. It was made with Webster's Pages Hollywood Vogue paper (plus some Prima flowers and pearls).

  The next project is an album titled Christmas Holidays also made with Webster's Pages but different paper lines. I used several paper collections: Winter's Wings, Home for the Holidays, Waiting for Santa, Sweet Season etc. These paper lines are older but I still like them very much.

I put photos of my son and daughter having fun during the Christmas holidays. Here are some pictures:



   Not all of the pages are given here because there are total of 23 (which is a lot of pictures) but I posted all of them on my Inspire me gallery. I took the idea for the album from the MyNovelTree photobooks (by Webster's Pages). 

   My last project for today will be the Sweet Memories mini album made with the Prima Jack and Jill collection. I simply love this collection. I used photos of my daughter taken when she was a little girl, and my son (who's still a little boy). Now for some pictures:

  The idea for this album was taken from a Marion Smith class on CHA Summer 2010. Thank you Marion.
