albany adventure - stuck sketches

Hi there, back with another page to share.  Last week I managed to join in with a few challenges, so this week, I'll be posting them all ☺

I'm loving the sketches from Stuck Sketches - especially as they have multiple photo's.  This is great when scrapbooking a group of photo's with a similar theme.

This sketch is the March 1st sketch!

Lately I've been scrapbooking photo's from our Summer camping holiday!  I've printed off four photo's and have matted them with tags, frames and embellishments to represent the sketch. 

 These wonderful cork letters form part of the title.  I seem to do a lot of water colour in my background - it's a great way to add some colour without using paper and is always effective on the white base cardstock.

Another of my favourites is mini pegs!

A few more pictures scrapbooked. Win, win!!!
Thanks for a great sketch to play with Stuck Sketches.

Til next time ♥

whale world - stuck sketches Feb challenge

Hey there, just popping up one more page for the month of February.  I've used a sketch from Stuck Sketches for some holiday snaps ☺

I love that this sketch had the opportunity for more than one photo.  I've printed out a set of three to tell the story.

 This paper from Pebbles Inc with little anchors was perfect for this page - I've teamed it with a few other papers in my stash.

 I went thru my supplies and found complimenting embellishments.
I love this alpha stamp from Kellie Stamps - I've used some water colour paints to colour in.

 I love adding layers and usually use some foam dots to create some extra height.

 Banners are still a favourite of mine in the design - and I love using mini pegs.

I love how this page turned out and I think it really reflects my style of scrapbooking!
Thanks for a great sketch - Stuck Sketches ☺
Til next time .................. ♥

April 1 Stuck Sketches - Happy birthday

 Hello again ☺  I recently got the 8x8 paper pad Glitz Design - Colour Me Happy collection - and have been have so much 'fun' with the gorgeous patterns and bright colours.  So I went back through some photo's of earlier this year and found this one of my twin boys on their birthday which I hadn't even scrapped yet :(
I've used the April 1 Stuck Sketch for this page:

 So lots of Glitz Design on this one as well as some cute things from Greatest View and stamps by Give a Girl a ...
Here are some close-up's:

 ... cute chevron bag, badge and ribbon from Greatest View...

 ... the wording is a sticker from this collection - and the title uses Teeny Alpha's also by Glitz ...

... I've also added in a little wood veneer by studio Calico ...

Here is the sketch if you wish to be inspired:

 
 Wishing you all a wonderful weekend and a big thank you to those that pop by here to check out my work - it's much appreciated and I hope in some small way, you feel a little inspired ♥
