Art Party Friday: (July 22) Katty Miranda

Hello crafty Maven’s!! This is Katty and I’m here to share my artsy layout I made today.

I love the mood board this week and I tried to use as many colors as I could from it. I am scrapping a photo of my two boys on our recent vacation to Hawaii! I focused on one color to create my background and then added the other colors in with paper layers and embellishments. This layout was a lot of fun to create.

Free Flow Wednesday: (July 20) M. Barone

Hello and happy Wednesday! This is Marianne and I am here to share a new layout with you.

For this Free Flow Wednesday, I stayed true to my style. I used some patterned paper, some enamel dots and washi. 

I also used a few stamps from one of Ali E’s Story stamp sets (read) to highlight the theme of the page.


 I hope you make some time to create something fun soon!

In Your Pocket Tuesday: (July 19) Banning Lane

Hello scrappers! When I looked at the inspiration piece for this week, the rainbow, and the color yellow stood out to me. My daughter is obsessed with rainbows right now, so I knew I probably had a picture or a story that included rainbows. My favorite color is yellow, so I was super happy to include some of that in my layout!
This layout was pretty simple. and came together super quick. I used cards from my Ali Edwards Story Kits™ and a lot of white! I also used a couple stamps on this weeks spread. I have decided I need to start using my stamps more, and my Project Life® album is the perfect place to do that.
The only thing I forgot to include was the week number. I plan on stamping that on a piece of vellum and treating it like an insert!


If you would like to see how this spread came together, you can check out my process video below!

Art Party Friday: (July 15) Froggie251

Hello scrappy friends! Kelly here with a new art party video for you.

The main inspiration for this page was a scrapbook process video that I saw from Tuesdae Hubbard (check her out if you have’t already). The colors in the inspiration piece guided me to use the Dear Lizzy – Neapolitan 12×12 paper pad for this journaling page. Although the pastels in the collection are a bit more muted compared to the inspiration piece this week, it still reminded me of this collection that had been just sitting waiting to be used. I cut some of the floral paper into a doily using a cut file from the Silhouette store. The polaroids are from one of the cut-a-part sheets in the collection and the star, scooter, and camera as well. For the Love Love and Sweet Sunshine I punched both of those out with my scallop punch. I ended up putting quite a bit of gesso on the layout and I really think I went a little too overboard. I think it pushed everything too far into the background and muted too much. But really, that is what I like about playing with mixed media. You are always learning new things and the more you play the better you get and if you’re lucky you may just stumble over a happy accident.

Sketch it out Thursday:July 14 Kelly Barron

Hello Crafty Mavens and Happy Thursday! Today we have Kelly with Sketch it out Thursday!

I chose to use a Creative Scrappers sketch by Kristine Davidson and a free cut file by Nicole Nowosad for today’s layout. I love the colors of the mood board and knew that my Felicity Jane kit would be perfect to use since it has all the pastel colors that are in the mood board.-Kelly-13717328_269938793362023_3369458572501098529_o.jpg

Free Flow Wednesday: (July 13) Mari Clarke

Hello crafty friends!! This is Mari and I’m here to share my layout with you for today.

I created the layout using Pink Paislee Fancy Free. I really loved the pastel colors in the inspiration and have been wanting to use this collection, so perfect timing! I used the flower embellishments I created with my circle punch to create a visual triangle on the layout. I used the puffy stickers and buttons from the collection to embellish the layout. I used some sewing machine stitching to add extra detail, including for the journaling area. Just a few stamps to finish off and a doily mat for the photos, and done!
