Nuts About Sketches Birthday Celebrations: Sketch 6

Hello everyone,

Another page celebrating Nuts About Sketches' birthday! For this sketch I used pictures of my husband and myself on our trip to Stockholm, Sweden summer 2010. It was so nice! It was like a second honeymoon, just the two of us no kids for a week and a half!

I cut a circle out of a tourist map and used it in place of the larger photo to show off the where we stayed and things we did on the trip. I still have to add the journaling though. Some of the embellies (brads and the flower paper on the right) were bought in Sweden too. We had a fun trip and I even got to meet up with a high school girlfriend I had not seen for more than 15 years.

 

What was used:
Cricut Plantin Schoolbook (letters cut twice at 1.8 inches)
Gartner Studios Airplane Voyage Collection Paper pack
Panduro Hobby Lemongrass sunny Flowers
Panduro Hobby Travel Brads

Happy scrapping!
Judy

Nuts About Sketches Birthday Celebrations: Sketch 5

Hello everyone,

I used this sketch for a page for my Mother-in-law's book. I have been working on a book for her for sometime and I hope I can deliver it to her this summer. The pictures are of my husband, his siblings, his mother and his dad (with the summer bon-fire). This is one of my favorite layouts I have done recently. I might have to copy it for my book too. KESA is the Finnish word for Summer.
 

 

What was used:
Cricut Don Juan (Title letters cut at 1.4 inches)
DCWV Tahiti Beach Stack

Ribbon from stash
Ink

Celebrate the Occasion - Challenge #12: Graduation

Hello everyone,

Its Teacher's Appreciation Week and I would love to thank all the wonderful teacher I have found in the craft world. So many of you share your craft and techniques so willing, I am a better crafter for it. So thank you all Teachers!

Its time for a new challenge at Celebrate the Occasion. This week Design Team 2 are challenged to create a project for a graduate.

I decided to try my first Easel card which I adapted to be money/ gift holder (just in case you don't know what to buy). I love the Easel card effect and I just love how easy they are to make! I expect that you will see a lot more of these cards from me. This card measures 5.5 X 4.25 when closed.

Nuts About Sketches #159

Hello Again Everyone!

If you are searching for the third Nuts About Sketches birthday sketch click here!

This is my second post today! This is my regular weekly post for Nuts About Sketches.
I was so excited to use this pack of paper for this page, it is DCWV The Playtime Stack. I saw it in Michael's and fell in love with it! I didn't even have to spend my money on it because one of my girlfriends gave me the stack! Thanks hon, you know who you are! 

The images are printed right on Kraft paper! Its so cute.  For my page I used only use Kraft paper for cutting my files and then colored them with ink to keep the feel of the paper. I also cut out clouds from another sheet in the stack and popped them up on the page. The photos are of my kids playing in the backyard on a warm summer day and I used the right side of the sketch.

 

What was used:
Cricut Lyrical Letters (Title letters form 1.7 to 2.4 inches welded on the gypsy)
Cricut Groovy Times (Rainbow cut at 3.5 inches) 
DCWV The Playtime Stack
Recollections Kraft Paper
Colorbox Chalk inks
