National Scrapping Day 2014 ScrapMuch? Challenge #7 2 Page Sketch

Hello!

Here I am with a double page layout playing for INSPIRATION at ScrapMuch? National Scrapping Day last Saturday - Challenge #7.

Here is the sketch of the double page.

 
Here is mine, I used Hip Hooray papers by MME.  Just perfect papers for a birthday layout that I have been hoarding for a long time.  So glad that the papers worked out well for Janna's pictures.
 
 
So many pictures but so little time!
 
Keep Scrapping!

National Scrapping Day 2014 ScrapMuch? Challenge #2 Recycled Item WATER FUN

Hello!
 
Busy week for me scrapping my time away and of course I love it!  So much photos to scrap and I am catching up some!  Cannot say I am all finished! LOL!
 
Over at the ScrapMuch?, there were 12 challenges up last Saturday, I played some challenges for inspiration as of my role as DT.  It was fun.
 
I have been eyeing the Project Life but I did not want to start buying the Project Life products and I really wanted to USE what I already have in my scrappy room.  I do find it somewhat challenging as I need to be creative with the small embellishments to add on.  Guess with practise and I will improve.
 
Back to ScrapMuch? NSD, on this layout, for Challenge #2, I have a very very small recycled item that I included in the swimming goggles.  I was making the title and was cutting the goggles with my Cricut machine.  I was seeing that my mat was not sticky so I felt it was time to throw it into garbage and of course its protection clear sheet, too.  But at that moment I thought of the recycled item challenge, just perfect timing, so I went ahead and cut out the goggle "lenses" as well.  It is hard to see in the pictures.
 
 
It is Water FUN on the layout and it was FUN scrapping the layout!
 
Keep Scrapping!

LET YOUR TRUE COLOURS SHINE THROUGH {ScrapMuch? DT}

Hello! 
 
I am excited to reveal my own first design team layout for ScrapMuch? today.  I have been given a sketch for a double page layout for today.  You will get to know that I love double page layouts!
 
I have decided to create pages on my daughter who turned 16 last December. So it is a SWEET 16 celebration for her!  Seeing that I have some pink balloons in the pictures so I decided to look for some pink papers.  I found the papers that I have been hoarding for a while.... I won't say how long. LOL!  It was MME, Abbey Road. I pretty much followed the sketch.  For the right page, I used a 5x7 picture instead of using two 4x6 pictures.  I have matted all of the pictures.  All of the patterned papers except for the large square background (hard to see in the picture) have been matted with "cream" coloured cardstock.  I fussy cut the swirls from the patterned papers with the birds on them.  The birds are really cute!  I fancied them up with some flower chipboard and flower stickers. I have used two doilies from My Favorite Thing dynamic Dainty Doily Duo and inserted them behind all of the beautiful flowery chipboards.  Lastly, I final touched up the pages with some sequins.  Thank you, Laura Whitaker for the awesome sketch!
 




 

 
 Let's join us over at ScrapMuch? and play with this awesome double page layout by Laura Whitaker!
