Freaky Fast Formula from The Scraproom

I love the Freaky Fast Formula on the Scraproom blog they are so fun with which to work.  Here's another layout of my nephew.  I don't remember the brands of products.  I have my stash organized according to the Totally Tiffany system.  As such, I have a summer container that had all of these products but I don't remember the brands.

Here is the formula.

A closer look.

Ingredients:

misc papers and die cuts from my stash

Creative Memories sticker letters

Thanks for checking our my share

Pool Time layout with The Scraproom Jumpstart Sketch

This has to be the most un-Christmas Christmas Day post EVER!  But not really, every year I scrap pages for my SIL of my nephew for her to add to the album I gave her.  So this is really an Xmas gift. I didn't get a whole year scrapped this time but you are gonna see a dozen or so layouts over the next few days.  My wonderful nephew is actually under the weather so sending healing vibes to him and I hope his Christmas is a good one.

Here is the sketch I used from The Scraproom blog

Tennessee, Tennessee there ain't no place I'd rather be...The Paper Loft Easy Breezy layout using the Creative Memories border maker

I love the Creative Memories border system and I am very sad there will be no more components to this system.  I am very happy to say I have all the cartridges!  The wave comes in handy a lot depending on your paper the look can vary.  Here I have used The Paper Loft Easy Breezy collection.

These are not actually MY pictures.  All of these were taken by my brother when he took the boy out on the river.  I love that he shared with me before I even left to go home from that trip.  He knows how important pictures are to me.

I love my brother!

Creative Memories Seasonal Summer layout for Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Blog Hop!

 

On this layout I used the Creative Memories idea sheet that came with the paper pack.  It was a recent CM gift.   I added the twine.  All paper and stickers are current Creative Memories product but get it while you can!

 

This is my grandmother at her little cottage.

Super Fun Card Challenge: 10 Minute Craft Dash #20

 

This is my cup of tea!  I may not have achieved too many 10 minute cards, but I had a blast!  http://prettypinkposh.com/category/craft-dash

 

 

It has been a couple of weeks since I have really gotten to craft.  My last few projects have been very clean and sparse.  So this morning I spent almost 3 hours on one card!  I will blog about that card another day.  Suffice to say I was in the mood to make some progress in a short amount of time to feel like I accomplished something today, my first full day to craft in weeks!  I did a blog hop this morning that begins here:  http://joyslife.com/firecracker-boxes/.  I followed a link on one of the blogs that brought me to the 10 minute Craft Dash and I thought what a good idea!  You are allowed to gather your supplies first, which I did based on the color palette above.

 

The one card that made it in under 10 minutes is here:

 

This one took 6:13.  The key I found was not stamping but using stickers for the sentiments. 

Ingredients:

Michael's card base

Basic Grey Plumeria 6x6

TPC Bright pink shimmer

Creative Memories Seasons (gift)

CM Summer Title Stickers

American Craft twine

Colorbox Black chalk

Misc button and floss

 

 

These two are based on the Sketch N Scrap card sketch #4.  http://www.sketchnscrap.blogspot.com/2013/06/card-sketch-4.html    Both took about 10 and half minutes just over the limit.  Flossing the buttons consumed some time for sure.  Stamping the sentiment takes a few minutes, too.  Maybe I shouldn't clean the stamps next time...

Ingredients:

Michael's card base

Basic Grey Plumeria 6x6

TPC Bright pink shimmer

Creative Memories Seasons (gift)

Want2scrap bling

Ek Success ribbon

Stampin Up Going Grey ink

Stampin Up Crushed Curry ink

Hampton Art sentiment stamp

Colorbox Black chalk

Misc button, brad and floss

 

This one is my favorite and took the longest but only 11:09!  Not too shabby

Ingredients:

Michael's card base

Creative Memories Seasons (gift)

CM Summer Title Stickers

Colorbox Black chalk

Misc button, flowers, brads, ribbon and floss

Stamp My Mind's Eye Graceful

Colorbox Chalk rouge on pop dots

 

 

Sketch n Scrap Birthday Bash Kit Challenge the Sequel

 

By the hair of my chiny chin chin...I have had this layout in the works for a few days.  Creating cricut embellishments can take a while when experimenting with different papers and sizes.  I used Creative Memories Traveler & Cheerful Seasons Cricut cartridges.  The diecut paper is also Creative Memories and I used the CM border maker with white cardstock to create the "lace" on the picnic table cloth.  Oh!  The paper is called Picnic from The Paper Loft. 

Close up of this awesome sun!

 

I love the watermelons!

 

 

My Creative Endeavors challenge is to use a Kit created from your stash to create a layout.  Below is the Red, White & Blue kit that I created.  Stay tuned I will be giving this kit away in a Red, White and Blue Blog Hop next weekend!  Everything is included in the kit to create the layout above plus tons of other coordinating items.  Flowers, bling and two alpha's, sticker kits and handmade cricut diecuts with the CM borders!  The kit is also required to contain 8 papers and 5 cardstocks and other embellishments.

The Heart of Rock & Roll Creative Memories Summer Seasons layout

 

I used the great paper from the Creative Memories guest extra gift which matches the new Seasons sticker sets.  I used Summer.  I also used the new punch for the new Creative Memories maker system.  To "hold" the tag on I used Divine epoxy stickers.  I used the old heart punch.  I used the white swirly  CM sticker letters.

I free handed the bracket edge.

Creative Memories Candy Shop Summer Layouts

 

I could not wait to use the new Creative Memories Candy Shop Power Palette.  I was a little worried about using all the pink since I have boys, but the pink float in the pictures was really set off by the pink and the blues were great with the water in the pool.

 

I used the Candy Shop sticker letters for the title just layering on punched squares and chalking the edges with pink.

Dog Days of Summer Hooked on Fishing & Huckleberry Pond

 

I love these photos of K with his shoes thrown over his shoulder and his fishing pole.  I used the Creative Memories border maker system to create the edges.

 

Dog Days of Summer!
