Willow Tree Crafts Projects

Well, I had to make an unexpected road trip Tues & Wed down to AZ, so I haven't had my internet or anything on the road. We're here now, and it's hot and crowded, but there's lots of good scrappin here! I can't wait to go browse the local scrap stores and see what they have, but for now I have some DT projects from Willow Tree Crafts to share with you. They sent me some Scenic Route Roxbury to play with. Enjoy!

Superstar!

I used some old cardstock letter stickers on here as a mask for that misted title. I also used some of that same mist on the ribbon to give it the look I was going for.

Naughty or Nice?

For this one, I used teal & black Glimmer Mist to get the shape outline on the Bazzill background paper. I love the way it came out! Makes me just wanna spray everything!

 

Spoiled from the start!

Yup, she's Daddy's baby girl alright. Has been from the start. Make no mistake, this one has daddy wrapped around her little finger! LOL :)

This was a line I wasn't sure I liked right away. Now after seeing it in person and getting to use it, I LOVE it. These bees and butterflies are so cute!

Spoiled from the start:

Supplies: Cardstock- Basic Grey; Patterned Paper-Basic Grey; Chipboar shapes- Basic Grey (flowers, bees), Pink Paislee (title shape, photo corners); Alphas- Making Memories;

Catching Up

Whew! I can't believe it's been a whole month since I posted. Yikes, sorry! I have a stack of layouts sitting next to me that I'll be working on scanning and posting in the next few days, but for now I just want to do some catching up.

1. Congrats to the new design team over at Creatively Yours. My term ended with October, and I didn't reapply this time since I'll be out of town from Thanksgiving til New Years. I'm sure they'll all do great things with Ali's sketches, and hopefully I'll have a chance to keep up with them and post some here & there.
2. I made the design team at the local scrapbook store, Scrap Happens. Can't wait to get started, so look for some new projects for them soon.
3. Kaisercraft puts out a great magazine each quarter, and this last time they requested my Miss Attitude layout for their Q2 Mag. On their blog today they posted a picture, and it just happened to have my layout in it! It's the green one on the top left of page 2 here. That is little miss Venice!

Jana gave us another fabulous sketch this week for Scrapperie's sketch challenge. I couldn't resist using these pics I got of Sierra doing the monkeybars at the park this summer. This girl is so strong, it's crazy! I couldn't belive she made it all the way across.

Library Love

How has everyone been lately? In my house I'm the only one who caught the bug that's going around. I was really lucky though, and Mark took care of me while I was down. Now that we're over all that (knock on wood!) I have a whole pile of layouts sitting on top of my scanner waiting to be scanned in and posted. Working on getting them done in between homeschooling and activity central here. For today, here's one about one of our favorite places: the library. These pics are from last year before our local library got it's remodel, but Sierra found this rainbow book and this paper seemed to just go perfectly.

For the clouds, I used Glimmer Mist on white Bazzill, then hand drew the clouds and cut them out.

CY sketch- More Peas Please!

 Today's sketch was a 6x12 sketch, which I just love! I love the inspiration to do something un-square. I decided to make it even more fun by using the pattern in this Basic Grey paper as a template for a shaped layout. I'm thrilled with the way it turned out! Make sure you head over there and try this sketch out for yourself! We're still looking for guest designers!

Turtle Power!

I did this page for one of Jana's amazing sketch challenges at Scrapperie last month, and it just never got posted here. Last year Scott went down to Arizona for the end of the summer without us, and Grandma got him this Ninja Turtles swim set that he still loves and uses. These pictures were perfect for this Cosmo Cricket paper I've been holding onto for a while. Super quick and easy page. Love that! Enjoy!

Creatively Yours #58- Birthday Superstar!

 Wow, I can't believe how busy the beginning of the year gets! Our homeschool school year is in full swing now. We're in our 2nd week already! Lots and lots of prepping that's been taking my time away from scrapping. I think it'll be about middle of next week when we all hit our stride and life gets back to a normal pace. For now, here's a new Creatively Yours layout for you!

We had another one of Noella's fabulous sketches to work on this week and I chose to use these pics of Scott from his birthday this year. He begged me for this Bakugan tin from Target for like 2 months so he was super surprised when he got it! Love the look on his face, and I love that he's old enough to 'get it' and give me the face without me having to explain what the gift is. Sierra had a similar reaction last year to a new pair of black tights (go figure).

Birthday Superstar

Supplies: Cardstock- Bazzill; Patterned Paper- My Mind's Eye; Die Cuts- My Mind's Eye; Alphas- American Crafts; Ric Rac- American Crafts;

Also- I wanna send a shout out to my good friend Kim. It's her birthday today. She makes the most awesome baby slings! I have this one!
