Creative Memories Cakes & Candles with Sketch N Scrap

I'm back with more layouts for my niece, I found it went pretty fast to begin with a sketch.  I scoured my favorite blogs for their current sketches and found photos and paper that worked with each sketch. That said if you are a regular reader, you are in for a few post of scrapbook pages packed in to these last few days of the year.


Here's the sketch I used for this one.  I found this perfect printed piece of card stock.  However, it didn't work with the full panel on the left, so the scallop circle will have to serve for that piece.


I found these die cuts in my stash. I have no idea of the brand.  I added some polka dotted washi behind this one.  I had some Creative Memories dotted stickers that worked perfect with the other elements.


The sticker sentiments came from the Creative Memories Cakes & Candles collection.


Ingredients:
Craft Smith Hip Tots Card stock stack
Creative Memories Cakes & Candles stickers
misc birthday die cuts from my stash
washi tape

Hapbee Birthday Scrapbook pages with Stick it Down Double Page Sketch

Good morning and welcome to another layout of my niece. This is her first birthday party.  I took these photos.  I loved this sketch because it called for so many photos and I took so many of this event.


Here's the sketch from Stick it Down


Here's a close up of page one.  I purchased this paper stack second hand at a crafty yard sale. I had the giant doilies in my stash.  I also had these Classic Pooh embellishments in my stash for a while.  I had three or four packs, I have used them many times and just love them.


I used my Cricut to cut the title.  I added a Pooh embellishment to the center.  There is a bee as part of the cut underneath.


Here's page two.





Ingredients:
Park Lane Paperie Prairie Primrose stack
K & Co Classic Pooh layered die cut accents
Cricut Title
doily

Vintage Dress Page for Sketches in Thyme

Hello and welcome to my blog on this happy holiday. I am posting my take on this weeks Sketches in Thyme sketch. I have so much to say about this layout. First of all my niece is just adorable and I love scrapping her photographs. Second, the subject matter. This baby is the 12th or 13th girl to wear this dress. It is over 50 years old.  It was my first Easter dress purchased prior to my birth.  


Third, here's the sketch.  You can play along on the Sketches in Thyme Facebook Group.


I found this paper at a crafty yard sale.  It no longer had the cover page, so I can't be sure of the brand.  There were four or five designs from this stack included.  They were perfect for this layout and a couple of more I did of her, which will be revealed later.  I just happened to have a 6x6 stack of rose gold papers which perfectly matched the rose gold foil in that stack. Maybe the stack is DCWV as well?


I added some Jolee's little hands and Martha Stewart textured hearts along the gingham vellum circle.  I cut the circle using the large Creative Memories circle in the custom cutting system. On a few of the embellishments I layered some scrap ribbon.  I cut the large foil heart and background with a Stampin Up punch set.  



Ingredients:
unknown paper collection
DCWV Solid Rose Golds 6x6
Martha Stewart White Dimensional Heart stickers
Jolee's By You hand die cuts
Stampin Up ribbon
vellum and white card stock
Creative Memories Custom Cutting System large circle red blade
Prima Lyric collection butterfly

misc embellishments
Quick Quotes Powderpuff chalking ink Feather Gray
Crafter's Square Metallic Marker Rose Gold? Copper?

Brother & Sister Layout with Stick it Down single page sketch

Hello and welcome to today's post.  Every year I scrap pages to add to my in-laws' scrapbook I gifted them.  This time around they need a new album as well.  I created more than a dozen new pages and here is one.  I took these photos from a professional photo session they had of their children. I have no idea where the photos were taken but there were just a few with this old brick house background.  This sketch from Stick it Down was perfect to highlight the one large photo.


Here is the sketch.


The heart flourish was one piece from Zva Creative.


I cut a larger pearl flourish into a few pieces and strategically places it among the EZ Laser die cut.  I added the Recollections pearl bling in the swirls of the die cut.



Ingredients:
Momenta card stock
Park Lane Paperie Prairie Primrose stack 
EZ Laser Design die cut flourish frame
Zva Creative self adhesive pearl
Recollections Bling stickers

Stampin Up Wreath Builder card for Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

Good morning and welcome to my blog today.  I am showing off my latest cards for Atlantic Hearts Sketch challenge.  I went wild with this sketch.  I recently acquired this used Stampin Up wreath set. I thought it worked great with this sketch.


Here's the sketch.


I used the same Stampin Up paper stack and cut several pieces the size I needed.  It was doubled sided and coordinating. 


Essentially the cards are all the same, I stamped 6-7 partridges and dozens of pears.  They are all the same colors, then I added the die cut wreaths.  I did cut these out of several different greens and gold.


Here's a close up of one of the wreaths.  I found these wood embellishments at Indigo Hippo my favorite creative reuse store.  They were the perfect sentiment for the card.  I tried using a stamp pad to color them but in the end markers were the best option for complete coverage. I am pretty sure I found the paper stack there within the last year as well.



More and more, I can't really decide which one I liked the best.


Lots of dimension in this set. These cards cost .99 cents to mail.  I hope my friends appreciate the work and the cost going into this set.


Ingredients:
Stampin Up Arrange a Wreath stamp set, Wreath Builder die set, Trim the Tree Designer Series Paper mat stack, Pistachio Pudding and Wild Wasabi card stock
Stampin Up Garden Green, Crushed Curry, Cinnamon Cider inks, Ruby Red and Real Red markers
Kaiser Craft Lucky Dip Wooden Flourish Pack:  Jolly Christmas
American Craft metallic green marker
misc card stock

I would like to enter this in the following challenges:




(stamps, dies, wood embellishments, and papers-all new to me)




Don't forget to play along with  Atlantic Hearts Sketch challenge until Sunday.



Thanks for sticking with me and all my photos today.
