Sketch N Scrap's Card Sketch #281
Happy Tuesday! I am back with a quick post for you today! It's a chilly 18 degrees out this morning and the high is only 25 for today, but the sun is shining and I am hoping it will melt some of the ice off the trees. That sun shining on all of the ice makes everything sparkle like a diamond, which is a great segue into the heart of my post!
Sketch N Scrap is changing things up this year and we have a theme for the month along with a twist to all of our sketch challenges. Our theme for January is "Out with the old, in with the new," and our twist for our first card sketch challenge is - Shiny and New - create a card using the sketch and add something "shiny" to make it look sparkly and new, such as sequins, glitter paper, bling, etc.
Here is the sketch:

Sketch N Scrap #312 - Adorbs
Hello, everyone! Happy Saturday to you! I hope your weekend is off to a good start. We are in the middle of a winter storm warning here and I plan on crafting all weekend long! Doing a little scrapping and a little stitching and keeping my fingers crossed we keep our electricity on!
Today I am sharing the layout I made for Sketch N Scrap's January 1st sketch. If you haven't heard, we are changing things up at Sketch N Scrap this year. We are adding "twists" to all of our sketch challenges!
For our first challenge of the new year Lisa has created a fun 3-photo sketch for us to use with the twist of - Mix it up - use a mix of old and new by using one or more papers that are over 3 years old on your layout with an embellishment that is new (a year old or less) OR use and embellishment over 3 years old and at least one or more papers that are new (a year old or less).

You're So Cool... Sketch N Scrap #308
Hello, hello! Happy Monday to you! I hope your week is off to a good start! It's rainy here today with the threat of severe storms later this evening - yuck! - so I am going to keep this quick.
Today I am sharing the layout I made using Sketch N Scrap's November 1st sketch. Here is a look at the fun sketch Lisa has created for us to use:
And here is my layout:
I had so much fun creating with this sketch and I pulled out a few supplies I haven't used in ages! I started with my everyday mini-kit in my Lisa & Lori's Great Stash Bash November kit. Then, I pulled out my gold color shine mist and sprayed it around on the background paper. I then stamped the zigzag stitch around the entire outer edge of the cardstock. I needed a way to add my title without covering up too much of the smiley face paper, so I cut a circle from some vellum to add my title onto. To help them stand out a bit more, I inked the edges of all of the vellum pieces.
I've had a pack of rub-ons from Shimelle for ages that had a row of gold hearts on it. The package says 2014 - so I wasn't sure if they would still work- but they worked beautifully! I added them under the photo and they go so well with the gold mist.
Here are a couple of close-ups:

Lisa & Lori's Great Stash Bash November Kit Challenge
This kit is full of Jen Hadfield's Reaching Out collection and then quite a few random embellishments. I always like to have plenty of options in the embellishment department!
