Mowing is not just for boys! - My Scraps & More Sketch #74

Posted on March 28, 2014 by  with 1 comment
My daughter absolutely loves mowing the lawn. She actually begs for us to let her do it. These pictures are of her last year mowing the lawn when she was 7. Funny how my 7 year old daughter will mow the lawn but my 18 yr old son we couldn't even pay to do it....lol  I used this weeks My Scraps & More Sketch #74.

Happy Spring! I don't know about all of you but I am soooo ready for summer. Since summer isn't here yet I did a summer layout instead using this weeks My Scraps & More Sketch #73. I've been hording these Fancy Pants Design Beach Babe papers for awhile now. They were perfect for this summer page of my daughter.

Happy Friday! And since its Friday there is another sketch release at My Scraps & More Sketch, sketch #70.  At first this sketch stumped me, it's way different then my normal style of scrapping so it was a lot of fun mixing things up and doing something different. Nothing like a good sketch to help us get out of a rut!

Yay, it's Friday and that means it's time for another My Scraps & More Sketch reveal, sketch #69.  I used mists and some Gesso both with a stencil on the background and used the Cosmo Cricket Girl Friday collection for the papers.

You Shine

I made this layout over the weekend for one of the crop challenges at My Scraps & More.  I love this picture of my daughter from last year, she was just about to go to her 1st Daddy/Daughter Valentines dance.
On the background paper I did some modeling paste and stencils and water paints and also stamped some butterflies on it. The papers are from Teresa Collins Friendship and also the Journal-It Girl Collections.


A few close up pictures and you can see the modeling paste a little better too. The chipboard pieces are also Teresa Collins and the title is from K&Company.

Getting Messy with Mixed Medias

Posted on February 10, 2014 by  with 6 comments
This poor page! After spending hours applying Gesso, mists, inks, watercolors and paints and drying several times to create the background for this page, I was finally really starting to like it. I printed a picture of my dad, his senior year in high school which was 1966 in sepia and found the papers and embellishments I wanted to use.  I had everything in place and just needed to glue them down but decided to go to bed and decide in the morning, if I still liked how everything was placed.
Well, in the morning I had discovered that one of my cats had knocked over the cup of water I was using for the watercolors onto my page.....Grrrrr! Most of the mists and watercolors had been washed away and the page was now all warped and dads picture was ruined too.  So I dried the page again, printed a new pic of dad and did the best I could to re-add the mists and watercolors. I still like how it came out but the colors were more vivid before it had a bath.

Pretty In Pink - My Scraps & More Sketch #67

Posted on February 07, 2014 by  with 3 comments
The background on this page kinda started out as an experiment. But then I just kept adding, mists, paint, molding paste and stamping on it and after awhile I really started to like it. Getting messy is fun! I had no plans for the page since I was really just messing around with different medias. But then I was looking at the My Scraps & More Sketch that I got to work with this week and that was just posted on their blog today.... and well here is the outcome of it.


Here is the My Scraps & More Sketch #67 that I was working with.


Papers - Basic Grey Eva & White Cardstock
Alphas - Pink Paisley (pink) & Paper Trunk (white)
Embellishments - Prima (pink flower), Graphic 45 (leaves), DCWV (camera), 
Maya Road (clock), Pink Paisley (washi tape)
Others - stencils, misting, paints, stamping, molding paste, distressing, inking
