Happy News

Today is the 15th so that means we have a new sketch at Stuck?! Sketches.  We've included a color palette with this one too.  Bright and happy summer colors!  Here is my take.

This is our granddaughter and she is so excited to share her happy news about becoming a big sister this December!  We are all excited actually and cant wait for its arrival.  Next month we will find out the sex.

For this layout I used Sketchbook by Amy Tangerine.  I absolutely love this collection and it was perfect for this sketch's color challenge.  The sticker embellishments are by Amy Tangerine as well.  For fun, I made and added the yoyo flowers.  Here are a few close ups for better detail.

and now for the sketch and color palette to follow.

Fun, right?!  Such fun bright colors!  Now it's your turn.  Go have fun with it and be sure to link up by July 29 for your chance to win some awesome prizes by random.org.  Stop by Stuck?! for further details and lots of inspiration!

Thanks so much for stopping by and happy scrapping to you!

Our Thelma & Louise

Happy Monday to you!  Today we have a new challenge for you at Challenge YOUrself and this month we have a color palette.  They are not your traditional red, white & blue July colors but great summer colors.  Perfect for this time of year!  Here is my take.

This was such a fun, carefree summer day!  Cruising around in the convertible with a great friend, enjoying ourselves without a worry in the world.  Looks like our version of Thelma & Louise!

For this layout I used my June Gossamer Blue kit.  The colors were perfect for this months color challenge and I had a great time putting it together.  It's got a lot going on but I do like how it turned out.

Here are some close ups for better detail

and now for the color palette

sibling selfies

Hello and Happy July!
Today is the first of the month so that means we have a new sketch up at Stuck?!  This one is all about triangles.  I've noticed it's been all the rave lately.  I've replaced the triangles with diamonds, but it's still considered the same, right?  Also with this month's sketch we have partnered up with Frosted Designs and they are requesting the use of punches or die cuts on our layouts.
Here is my take.

These selfies were taken in 2004, when selfies weren't so cool, or should I say weren't so popular.  When my daughter got a camera in her hand, watch out!  Her brother Ryan was usually the one whom had to suffer.  She loved, and still loves, to take selfies.

My triangle background paper used for this layout is by Heidi Swapp.  The diamond die cuts are from my December 2013 Studio Calico kit.  I could never quite figure out how to use them in a layout and when I seen Laura's sketch and the request from Frosted Designs to use die cuts they instantly came to mind!  I really like how it turned out.

Here are a few close ups for better detail.

Now it's your turn!  Go have some fun with it!  Make it your own and be sure to upload before July 29 for a chance to win some fantastic prizes, and if you used punches or die cuts be sure to link up at Frosted Designs too for another chance to win.  For further details and tons of inspiration be sure to stop by Stuck?! Sketches.  And now for the sketch.

That's it for today.  I hope I have inspired you in some way.  Thanks so much for stopping by and happy scrapping!
