Make Today Count and Toucan

I made this layout for a Selfie Layout in Scrappin' 'n' Chattin', a scrapbook group I'm a part of anyone is welcome to join if you scrap or make cards. Back to my layout. The patterned paper is ModaScrap Fly & Scrap 03. The photo mat is from Stampin' Up Daffodil Afternoon 12x12 Designer Series Paper. They're having a free shipping sale on last chance items today only. The picture was taken with my iPhone. The title, Make Today Count, is from Heidi Swapp Journal Studio died cut shapes and so is the journaling tag. I wrote Selfie Sunday! I was getting used to my new smile and decided to take a quick selfie 5/1/22. The heart in the photo frame is from Amy Tangerine bits die cut chipboard shapes. The crystal bling and twine is from The Stamps of Life. This is a great family owned business and if you join use me as a referral and we both receive club points! The hearts are from OhDeerMeKit. Now onto my easel card.

I made this card for a swap, but I don't think she follows me. I found the tutorial for the easel swap on Pinterest and https://youtu.be/yAsPQDwH87A. All of the products used- Watermelon cardstock, toucan2stamp/dies, tropical2stamp/dies, enamel dots, the felt border

 paper- Sweet Moments Collection and powdered sugar, and Tropical Leaf stencil- are from The Stamps of Life. I used Ranger Archival Jet Black ink on all the images/sentiments and Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Ink Twisted Citron on the stencil. TFL and Happy 1st day of Summer for those in the Northern Hemisphere!

 

Happy Camper

 

I made this card yesterday for a C is for Card swap for a group I'm in on Facebook. The stamp set is from The Stamps Of Life camper2stamp set and dies to match. I colored in the camper, flamingo, and camp fire with Spectrum Noir triblend markers. The reason the challenge is called C is for is because the image/sentiment have to start with C. The patterned paper is from Michaels Sparkleberry Ink double-sided paper pad. I believe the card base is from Stampin'Up In Color 8 1/2 x 11 paper collection and the enamel dots are also from The Stamps of Life. This card took forever to make, because I stopped to do laundry, talked on the phone, and couldn't decide on paper. I know my swap partner in the UK will love this card! TFL and have a great day!

Recent Layouts of BG

 

I made this layout following the above sketch. I just turned the sketch horizontally since my photo collage is vertical and kinda big. The main background paper is from Bella Blvd Squeeze the Day Collection as is the strawberry 3D stickers, the love you bunches ephemera, and you are sweet tab. I just realized I didn't pick up the flower at the bottom before taking the picture. It's not glued down, lol. That's what I get for watching a movie while scrapping, lol. The strips are from several 8 1/2x11oz paper sheets from my stash as is the photo mat. The diagonal striped strip is from Echo Park Paper Company Once Upon A Time Prince Collection Kit. The title, BG, is from Basic Grey Oliver Collection Alphabet Stickers sheet that is also from my stash, an old set that is hard to find in stores. Now on to the next layout.

This layout is of BG's 4th Birthday party, well mostly balloons. The theme was dinosaurs. The main patterned paper is from Echo Park Paper Company Magical Adventure 12x12 Collection Kit. I used some of the same paper for the photo mats. The title and balloon dog is from Pebbles Birthday Wishes Printed Cardstock Shapes that I received as a RAK in the mail yesterday. The journaling tag at the bottom is also from Bella Blvd Squeeze the Day Collection. I wrote MeMaw (in picture above tag) and Great Grandma Elaine is in the picture with BG at the bottom right. I will be making more birthday layouts soon so come back to see the rest of the party layouts! Have a great Flag Day if you're in the US! TFL!
