Aloha Scrappers!! Today is a fun day, aside from being Friday. Yay weekend is almost here!! This weekend is going to be jammed packed with fun filled activities because Saturday is National Scrapbooking Day. Let me tell you I am super excited about scrapbooking all weekend!!

Today for Art Party Friday I made a layout with a cut file that I got as part of my subscription to Clique Kits. I used my watercolors to color the cut file to match the net in my picture. I didn’t use gesso on the card stock , because I didn’t want to wrap the cut file too much. I tried to be careful and not over water my paper. With some glossy accents and a book resting on the layout for ten minutes the cut file adhered really well.

I also added modeling paste with a 3×4 Amy Tangerine striped stencil over the hearts on the cut file. It adds a really fun detail on the layout without being really busy.

I added up adding my journaling in the open space of the cut file. which adds a fun and laid back feel to this already fun layout.

I will say I completely forget about incorporating the inspiration piece this week. But you know I am ok with that. This photo really inspired me. I have been taking Lens of Joy by Ali Edwards, which has been helping me think about the perspective and things I want my photos to say. I was trying to take a really fun shot of the kids playing in this bouncy house at my Husband’s Ohana (family) day at work.

The kids were having a blast running races in the bouncy house. Their faces are filled with laughter, and I love the look through the net of the bouncy house. I was definitely was not going to get in the bouncy house to get pictures so having fun with my shots of them was key!!

I kept my layers simple and mostly black and whites. I really wanted the cut file to and photo to stand out.

I also color coordinated the clusters with the cut file. I really helps the colors pop more.

In the end I really just love how fun this layout feels. Perfect for Art Party Friday!!

Aloha Scrappers!! It’s Twerk It Thursday!! Are you in the mood to use a sketch today?!! I am sure I have mentioned this already but I love sketches!! When I started scrapbooking they were a really big help and start to learning what looks good on a page. Now I love them even more because I know I don’t have to stick with every little detail if I don’t want to. They really help when I am feeling crunched for time in my scrap area, but want to get a layout done that looks nice still. They also help when I feel I need help finding more inspiration too.

Today Both ladies on The Crafty Maven Getaway have used a sketch as a starting off point. I love both of these ladies and their style and can’t wait for you to see their style shining through even though they used a sketch. They used a Shimelle sketch from 2013, you you find this sketch and many more on Shimelle’s blog too.

Sarah decided to make a double layout with this sketch. She put a pocket on one side of the double spread to use for ephemera. I love how her layout turned out, it’s gorgeous!! You can check out the process video here. Sarah also has lots of great process videos on her personal YT channel. Here is a look at her layout for today’s video.

The other Youtuber posting today is Victoria Marie!! I love how Victoria’s personality always hows up on her pages! You can watch Victoria’s process video here. Victoria also has lots of videos on her YT channel, she also is currently working through a scrapbooking tutorial series called Scrapping For Mortals. You can check out her YT Channel here. Here is a look her Victoria’s layout for today.

Thanks for stopping by today to be inspired!! Tomorrow we will be back with Art Party Friday with me!! I hope you have a great day that is inspired by the things around you!!
