You know how life just gets away sometimes? I inadvertently missed sharing two layouts here that I shared with the JustNick blogosphere, so I will be sharing them this week.
We'll start it off with one about a friend I've known since around 2004. We met at our "day job", and we worked at two of the same companies during the same time. But the really fun part is that we are also scrappy friends in real life! It's so fun to have someone that shares the same passion you do. <3 You can visit Heather's blog here.
Here's a layout about us! Not only is this layout about us, taken while we enjoyed flights of margaritas, I created the layout at a crop we went to together!
To read about how I created this layout, find out what cut files I used, and see close-ups, visit the JustNick blog now!
Have a great week!!

Hello out there happy scrappers! Welcome to 2017. I was up Monday on the Creative Scrappers blog. Isn't the sketch awesome?! I opted to flip it 180 degrees. Also, the Pinkfresh Studio Oh Joy collection is just gorgeous. I mostly used the 6x6 paper pad and some embellishments from Oh Joy as well as Fancy Pants Merry & Bright puffy dots stickers...they matched well! Here's my layout.
I used the cut file created for the sketch on a sheet of white textured cardstock, cut papers to fit into the triangles, then sandwiched them on top of a full sheet of white textured cardstock. I sewed along the cut file for some additional texure. Cut files and sewing are a favorite combo of mine!
These photos of the kids from 2010 are perfect with these gorgeous papers! I loved tucking in the ephemera and puffy stickers. I created my own sewn tag using the acrylic "on the nice list" piece to put in the bottom right.
For the title, I purchased the font "Hello Sunshine" and cut out "Oh Joy" because I was so inspired by the collection's logo. I used an enamel star as the dot for the "j".
I hope this page has inspired you to get some Christmas photos scrapped! If you use the sketch, please use the hashtag #creatingwithsketches and post to the Creative Scrappers blog using the InLinkz widget. And don't forget to follow @creativescrappers on Instagram!
Have a wonderful January!

Hi sketchy, scrappy folks out there in papercrafting land! Happy Friday!
I'm having a blast participating with the My Scraps & More sketch team, and today's reveal has a great sketch created by Audrey Yeager. See my layout below, and then head over to the MSAM sketch blog to see how everyone else interpreted the sketch. I used Pinkfresh Studio's Up In The Clouds collection.
My daughter recently turned thirteen (eek!), and we celebrated with a dinner out at the restaurant of her choice.
My layout base was a Bazzill textured cardstock I had in my stash and matched the Pinkfresh very nicely. And I wanted the photo to rest on the neutral paper with the doodled hearts and stars, so I actually worked with that next.
After I had that part together, I inked the paper edges with a blue-green ink and layered the pink "Love" paper and the blue stitched papers behind it angled similarly to the sketch. Once I had the layers the way I wanted them, I cut the title numbers from the center of the blue stitched paper since I knew that would be hidden by the layers on top. This is a great way to save paper!
I finished the title with ink and stitching and then used Heidi Swapp alphas to spell "Lucky" over it.
For the top strip, I angled the doodle paper, inked the edge and stitched across it. Then I included some of the Pinkfresh hearts, some gems, and a wooden star. You can also see I outlined and filled in several of the hearts with a Gelly Roll glitter pen. I stitched around several parts of my layered papers.
Next, I created an embellishment cluster using a Heidi Swapp "shine", another Pinkfresh heart, and a wooden arrow.
I completed the layout with journaling. You can see more hearts and stars filled in with a Gelly Roll glitter pen.
I hope you join us with this sketch! Post your interpretation of the sketch during April for a chance at a great prize from My Scraps & More.
Have a fabulous weekend!
