S:CY is back!

I was really happy to hear that Ali would be reopening the Sketches: Creatively Yours blog and I was even more delighted when she asked me to join the new design team.

The new team was announced today and my layout posted on the S:CY blog is this one:

For this LO, I used Jillibean Soup Country Pumpkin Chowder papers, die-cuts and stickers from the Card Kitchen October '12 kit. The Maya Road linen trim is also from the kit. Other: Jillibean pin; WRMK Sew Easy and floss; SRM sticker sentiment; October Afternoon buttons (Campfire); Bic marker; unknown cardstock. This LO was inspired by Ali's sketch 1-13:

I hope you get a chance to check out the rest of the team's beautiful layouts at the  Sketches: Creatively Yours blog :)

Thanksgiving

I took time to scrapbook this weekend. It always helps clear my mind.

Lilybee Catching Fall papers and stickers; American Crafts Thickers and glitter brads; Ranger Distress ink (Antique Linen and Frayed Burlap); unknown cardstock and felt flowers. I hand-cut the shadow for the tittle. That was probably the most time-consuming part of this page.

Eating with gusto

I love these photos. Actually, I love watching my little one eat a turkey leg ;)

Authentique Genuine papers and cardstock from the Apron Strings STBB April '12 kit. Other: Jillibean Soup alphabeans; Ranger liquid pearls; Creative Impressions pearls; Signo gel pen; unknown leaf, pin, ribbon, and buttons.

It's been a while since I made my own embellishments... even though all I did here was twirl some cardstock and fill the centers with liquid pearl.

Happy Fall

For this layout I just let the Little Yellow Bicycle Hello Fall papers do their own thing:

Other: Glossy Accents, Signo gel pen, and washi tape.

I was going to add a different title, but I liked the border as it is. I think this was one of the fastest pages I ever made.

Thanks for stopping by!

Imaginisce Animal Crackers papers from the Apron Strings March'11 STBB kit. The ribbon is also from the kit. Other: Paper Trunk alphas, EK Success Sticko stickers, Ranger liquid pearls, Bic marker, unknown cardstock and tickets.
