Hello my dear friends!!

It has been a loooong time since I made something just for fun! I went to a crop last Saturday with my crazy, Greek, SUPER talented, scrapbooking friends and had lots of creating fun!!!

Usually, when I go to crops, I always have a DT project to make BUT not this time as I am in no DTs anymore. I am taking a break ;). So, I found a nice sketch over at sketchabilities to play with and a lovely moodboard at Scrapmemory so here is the outcome....

"Beautiful"

Hello my friends!

I have been a subscriber for My Creative Scrapbook kit club since July 2010. That was the time when I decided to try out making layouts! I searched all over the internet but no other kit club was so jumb packed with beautiful yummy stuff and all the latest paper collections! I was really inspired by the design team and slowly slowly I found my way into creating layouts!!! And I love it, I have never stopped since I joined the club and I don't think I will ever stop!

One of my dreams was to be a designer for MCS myself and I was thrilled and honored to be accepted as a guest designer!!! Pam Rangel (the owner) has an excellent taste in putting kits together and she sent me the Album kit to showcase for April! It is full of Prima goodness, Almanac collection!

Slide *My Creative Sketches*

Hello my friends! How are you today?

 I am down with a flu but that doesn't stop my creativity...I guess nothing can stop me LOL!!!

 Since I will be guest designer for "My Creative Scrapbook" kit club in April (woohoo), I was asked to also guest design for their challenge blog "My Creative Sketches". And I did get creative by playing with mists and my Sew Easy to make the background! I took a few photos during the process and I will share them with you! This is the fantastic sketch by Kim Keane!!!

I used 3 colors of Tattered Angel's glimmer mist sunflower,oriental poppy & bahama blue. I used a doily as a mask and strips of paper from the bottom of each 12*12 paper that we usually throw away!

Then I took my scallop sew easy tool and outlined the scallops of the doily!

I cut scalloped patterned paper using my big shot mashine!

Finally, I placed my photo and started the fun...embellishing!

And here is the finished layout...I didn't add a lot of stuff because there are too many colors already and it would seem too loaded! I hope you like it!!

Some close ups!

Materials used:


Cardstock: American Crafts
Patterned paper: Crate paper
Stickers: Crate paper, Echo Park
Flowers: Prima
Buttons: Purple Pumpkin & Lil Red Rocket
Stitching: Sew Easy (We are memory keepers)
Mist: Tattered Angels
Bling

I am waiting to see your gorgeous projects so you can get a chance to win this yummy prize!!!

Have a nice day!!!
