May 2019 – The Crafty Maven Getaway

Hello it is Crystal with Pineapple Papers. Hope you all had a wonderful long weekend full of relaxing scrappy time. I got the relaxing time with scrappy friends. I am up on the YouTube Channel today using some of my favorite Shimmerz. Moulin Rouge, Orange Sherbet, Limoncello, Jilted Jade, and Tickle Me Turquoise. I did dry brush strokes with splatters in the same colors.

I also had some fun using my fringe scissors. For once I didn’t want to add more paper so I just backed my photo with some white tissue paper. I chose color blocking with my embellishments. This is a great way to get some of those random embellishments on a page.

Make sure that you head over to the YouTube Channel to see the entire process and the Facebook group for some inspiration.

Remember to wear your crown.

Hey it’s Crystal with Pineapple Papers. One of our fellow design team members Christy who is Christy’s Beautiful Life over on YouTube is doing round 3 of 30 days of sketches. She always picks out the best sketches and when I can I like to play along. This sketch is from Ashley Horton. You can also check out Christy’s take on this sketch from 5/3. cmg may 2

I follow this sketch pretty closely. I even used hearts. The great thing about this sketch is that you could use any shape or even use those spots for embellishment clusters.
I love the stitched circle in this sketch as well, but today I was feeling lazy. I just took a plate from my kitchen and used a black pen and traced around it a couple of times. Offsetting each circle.

Do you ever have those lazy scrapbooking days where taking your layout 5 feet away to your sewing machine is just too much work. For me I may only have 20 minutes to play in my room and yes 5 feet is too far away.
