I wanted to share the project I made for the Sketch Challenge over at the Pretty Little Studio Blog. This was a fun sketch! I thought it would be perfect for a favorite summer photo. So, I enlarged this photo of Caitie on the lazy river and added a lovely frame around it using pattern papers.

The Sketch is provided by Keri Babbitt:

Thinking of You 100% Card

Posted: August 28, 2012 | Author: | Filed under: Cards, Scrapbooking | Tags: | 3 Comments
I wanted to share my tutorial for Pretty Little Studio. I love the pie charts trend in scrapbooking! There are so many fun ways you can incorporate them onto a card or layout. So, I’m going to show you how to make some quick and easy pie chart embellishments for your next project.

To make my pie charts, I used some Sand Castle Pattern Paper squares, 1.5″ and 2.5″ circle punches, scissors, and a pencil.

Using the 1.5″ circle punch, I lined up the corner of a pattern paper to the center of the circle and punched it out.
Once I had all of my papers cut, I arranged the designs that I wanted to put together onto a full circle design.
I measured and cut the designs to make different sized pie chart pieces.
Using the 2.5″ circle punch, I lined up the pattern paper to take up half of the circle space.
And, I used a template circle to arrange the measured and cut designs again.
I added the finished pie chart pieces to my card.
All that was left to do was to add my sentiment and some stars. And, my card was done.
Supplies I used to make my “Thinking of You 100%” Card:

You’re 2 Sweet! Card

Posted: August 17, 2012 | Author: | Filed under: Cards, Scrapbooking | Tags: | 3 Comments

I made a card as my project for this Ad Challenge over at the Pretty Little Studio Blog.

Think Outside The Box:  Vintage-Inspired Museum Wedding

Source:  Ruffled

This was such a fun ad challenge to work with! I loved the confetti ice cream, the decorated vellum bag, and even the wood background in the photo. I used the Mr. Parker Pattern Paper for the background of my card (love this woodgrain paper). I made a little vellum envelope and added some circle and heart confetti (leftover from my Confetti Negative Card Tutorial project), Sand Castle Garland Circles, and gold sequins inside. That ice cream cone in the ad was too cute and I wanted to give it a try using a scalloped circle punch and the Mr. Martin Pattern Paper. Using a circle punch, I added my ice cream into the cones and used a doily and red buttons for the toppings. I had fun with the sentiment by adding a Sand Castle Collection Number Stencil Word Flashcard “2” it. tee-hee.

Confetti Negative Card Tutorial

Posted: August 4, 2012 | Author: | Filed under: Cards, Scrapbooking | Tags: | 2 Comments
Here is a confetti tutorial I made for Pretty Little Studio. I made two cards using items from their Sand Castle Collection. I really LOVE the confetti trend in scrapbooking and decided to use it in two different ways. But, with this tutorial, I didn’t use the actual confetti…I used the pieces of pattern papers I took the confetti from. I used one piece as a Confetti Background and the other as a Confetti Accent piece.

For my Confetti Negatives, I used the Sun Tan and Sand Bucket Pattern Papers. To make the confetti, I used a heart punch by Martha Stewart Crafts and a standard hole puncher.

Punch out your pattern papers using each of the different punches.

I paired the Confetti Background paper with the Tropical Flowers Pattern Paper. I added mini glue dots to the back of the Confetti Background paper and attached these pieces together.

I added the decorative Confetti Background piece to my 5 x 7 card.

I stamped the “Welcome Baby” sentiment onto the Sand Dunes Pattern Paper and attached it along the bottom of the card.
I added some pink twine, a doily, flowers, a pearl sticker, and a Love is Kind Polaroid Frame to the card to finish it off.
For the next card, I added the Beach Towel Pattern Paper to my card along with a doily, a strip of the Sun Tan Pattern Paper, and the Confetti Accent Element.
I added a Love is Kind Polaroid Frame, butterfly from the Sea Gulls Pattern Paper, pearl stickers, and my sentiment to the card to finish it off.
You can save the confetti for the next projects!
And, there we have them! A sweet card to welcome a new baby to the family and a pretty card to let your loved one know that you wish them a speedy recovery. Each of these Confetti Negatives add their own special look to their card. And, of course, they were fun, quick, and easy to make!
Supplies I used to make my “Welcome Baby” Card includes:
Sand Dunes, Sun Tan, Tropical Flowers, and Swimsuit Sand Castle 8 x 8 Pattern Paper, and Love is Kind Polaroid Frames

Golden Chain of Friendship Layout

Posted: July 13, 2012 | Author: | Filed under: Layouts, Scrapbooking | Tags: | 3 Comments

I made a layout as my project for this Ad Challenge over at the Pretty Little Studio Blog.

Think Outside the Box:  Paper Chains/Color Gradient

Source:  Floridian Weddings

I love this inspiration piece! When my younger sister was over for a visit with my little niece, she saw a photo of Caitie, Payton, and their school friends together at the pool. She loved it and said that I had to scrap it! To tie it in with the inspiration piece, we found this wonderful friendship poem online entitled “The Golden Chain of Friendship”:

“Friendship is like a golden chain, The links are friends so dear, And like a rare and precious jewel, It’s treasured more each year. It’s clasped together firmly, With a love that’s deep and true, And it’s rich with happy memories, And fond recollections, too. Time can’t destroy its beauty, For as long as Memory lives, Years can’t erase the pleasure, That the joy of friendship gives. For friendship is a priceless gift, That can’t be bought or sold, But to have an understanding friend, Is worth far more than Gold. And the golden chain of friendship, Is a strong and blessed tie, Binding kindred hearts together, As the years go passing by.” –Helen Steiner Rice

 

The Friendship Polaroid Frames were perfect for this layout. Wonderful words for these wonderful friends! I am so grateful that these girls have each other. Their friendship is filled with lots of love, support, joy, and play.

I loved adding the Seashells Paper Ribbons to the Beachside Shipping Tag. The summer flags were fun to make. I love the “Monday” Week Days Stencil Word Flashcard. L.O.V.E.

Friends pictured below: Alyson, Caitie, Jenna, and Payton.

Favorite Swimsuit Layout

Here is a fun layout I made for Pretty Little Studio using their Sand Castle Collection. I adore this photo of Payton in her favorite swimsuit! It’s definitely a favorite of mine, too.

I made this pretty rosette layering it with a Sand Castle Sticker, the Surfing Pattern Paper, and some pink tulle that I cut from Payton’s swimsuit. I also added a touch of Diamond Stickles Glitter Glue to the flags of the sand castle.

I loved fussy cutting the cute hexagon/honeycomb pattern from the Sand Dollar Pattern Paper.
