A Layout for Another Chilly Day

Yep, still cold here!  But I did manage to get this page finished just now using more of my November Counterfeit Kit and a sketch from Let's Get Sketchy: I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, but you wouldn't believe how long I sat there, pushing those fussy cut flowers around my page!  Or maybe you would - I do realize my audience...

Sketch-N-Scrap #69

For this page, I used items from my November Counterfeit Kit and a sketch from Sketch-N-Scrap for inspiration: Really love how this one turned out!  I was a little stuck for a title,...

"Get Serious!" For CKC and LGS

Whew finally finished this layout I've had sitting on my counter for about two weeks!  I'm not sure that I'm completely satisfied with it...I was going for more drippage (is that even a word?) with my dylusions spray, but maybe I needed to prep with gesso or something.  However, I did use a bunch of products from my Counterfeit Kit,...

November Counterfeit Kit

So I actually put this kit together a few days ago, but I'm just getting it posted now because my stupid computer died on me!  I'm using the Blogger app on my phone to write this, that's how dedicated I am to my blog, haha!  Anyway, I don't know how to post a pic of the original kit on here, but you can go to the Counterfeit Kit Challenge...

Final Layout with October Counterfeit Kit

Hey there, just a quick post to show another layout I completed last night with my Counterfeit Kit: These photos were taken in the spring when I took Nolan and Ailis for a little holiday during their Spring Break.  Brenna stayed behind with Daddy, and he made sure to send me these photos via text to show me how they were doing.  So cute,...

New Layout for "Sketches in Thyme"

Yet another layout completed using my October Couterfeit Kit. I was a little skeptical about how this would turn out, wasn't really liking my banner at first, but then I added those little tickets I found in my tickle trunk and everything seemed to come together.   Just documenting a trip to Prince George we took one weekend in the spring....

First Layout with My October Counterfeit Kit!

Wow, first layout in I don't know how long. I'm patting myself on the back right now!  It features a photo of my two eldest, Nolan and Ailis, goofing off as per usual. Seeing I haven't scrapped in so long, I needed to find a sketch to use for inspiration. I used this one from Let's Get Sketchy: All supplies are from my October Counterfeit...

New Layout with my Counterfeit Kit

I've really been loving instagram pics and the Rhonna Designs app I have on my phone.  As far as printing, though, it's been a bit hit and miss.  You can print your instagram pics at Walmart, but they have to be uploaded to instagram, and I don't want to upload ALL my photos to instagram!  And of course, I don't have a Walmart in the...

So I'm a little late to the party, but I did make a counterfeit kit for May and I'm intending to use it, starting right now!  The kit I wanted to copy is this beautiful kit from Paper Camellia: And here's what I came up with: If you're wondering what my process was, it goes a little something like this:  see that scrap of vintage...

Scrapbooking Outside the Pocket

Oh my poor little blog, I've neglected you so!  That doesn't mean I haven't been creating, though.  Last month, I took part in my first online workshop through Big Picture Classes, and it was so much fun!  The workshop was taught by Monica Bradford and was titled, "Scrapbooking Outside the Pocket".  We explored different ways of...

Sketches in Thyme Reveal!

We have a new sketch up at Sketches in Thyme, looks a little something like this: And here's what I managed to come up with: I knew right away I wanted to scrap these four little photos of my girls dancing at a concert in the park last summer.  I cut the "right here, right now" bubble from a piece of Simple Stories paper I have, and thought...

You Are My Favourite Valentine

Well, I didn't get as much done with my February Counterfeit Kit as I would have liked.  This is the last layout I completed before dismantling said kit and getting ready for March: Since Ailis was born on Valentine's Day, I thought I should do a page with just this simple title: I thought this longer title kind of sums up my feeling for...
