Sketch it out Saturday- Rad Dude

Good morning everyone!! I'm here this morning to share with you a new layout I made using some pretty sequins and awesome little corkys!

 Here is the sketch I used for this layout, this is another old one I had drawn up, hope you like playing with it!

This month were sticking in with the theme of the 80's & 90's. So today I using my title to go along with the theme. Thus the Rad Dude! lol.

When we were kids we use to say Rad all the time, lol, I feel like I'm making myself sound old lol. But I was a kid in the 90's and I use to love saying rad!

I grabbed my Crate paper, Cool kid collection, (its been sitting in my stash and I haven't touched it yet, well untf my layout I started layering behind my photo. And then it was to my Silhouette I went. I cut out my title and some fun little star circles and a line of them to layer around.il now!) Then I grabbed some Bazzil cardstock from the Spiegelmom store and started cutting away at my papers. I knew I wanted to fallow the layout pretty close or possibly to a T. So I chose my paper for the bottom and cut it down, and decided I wanted the top strip to be the same, so I cut that down too and put them in place.

I did all my cut-files on white cardstock too, so that I could water color them like I did my title or back them with colorful and patterned papers. With my title I sprayed it down with water and grabbed my water color pallet and started adding black watercolor to the letters. I sprayed it here and there and dabbed it to get the effect I wanted, a little wore look.

I put my title where I wanted it, to the right of the photo and started playing with the embellishments! I started layering some of the cardstock stickers, tags and my cut-files. I got some great washi from the shop too, He Zhi Color tape. I added a strip of that in a orange-red color and then added a cardstock sticker over it.

And then it was for Sequins and Cork!!! I love these colors and the texture that the sequins and cork add to a layout!

I added a bunch of the little shooting cork stars and then broke into my Neon Summer and Gotta love Emojis sequins. I used the bright orange sequins from Neon Summer and the black sequins from the Gotta love Emojis. After that I added a little black watercolor splatters and my layout was done!

I hope you liked this layout and I hope to see you play along with the sketch too!! Remember to tag us on instagram so we can see what you create!!

Sketch it out Saturday/ SMS DT Auntie on duty

Good morning everyone!!

 So who is excited that this is a long weekend??!! (Hand in the air, jumping a little!!) lol And oh man, summer started here Friday, so a little more sleeping in and then running around with the kids! So much fun to come this summer!

Well this morning I'm here to share with you a layout and sketch that I crated. 

I play around with making my own sketches off and on all the time. If i'm not in the mood to scrap or just cant actually get in to my scrappy room cause of other things going on, I'll pick up on paper pad and sketch here and there.

Ok, so yes I know this is a goofy picture of my youngest daughter. My sister had come to baby sit so I could get some things done one day and I came back to this. My daughter is really light haired, maybe strawberry blond, and you cant really see her eye brows very well, so my sister thought it would be funny to draw them on with eye liner and have her make faces lol.

Now back to the layout, lol. I started with picking the goofy pic of my daughter, and to be honest, I started with the bottom of my layout, this inst something I normally do. I had grabbed an Amy Tangerine collection, Better together, I wanted bright and playful just like the picture.

I did the strip across the bottom of the layout, added a cut-file I had set to the side, with others I just hadn't used yet. Then I jumped to the top of the layout and started layering my pattern paper strips there and I decided to add cut-file in there too. 

I know in my sketch it shows circles cascading down the layout, but I decided to use squares, this was because I found a cute little cut apart sheet that I wanted to use,lol. 

Then I started layering a frame and a larger ampersand behind my photo, along with a few acetate pieces.

I worked my way down the layout at this point and started to add the circle ephemera and the flowers to the bottom strip. I added my title about that and then my favorite part!! I pulled out my sequins and started to play!!

I used a mix of sequins on this layout, Jaded Hearts, Wild and Free and Gone with the Wind. These colors matched perfectly with this Amy Tan collection and I loved that I got to add a few little flower sequins in there!

Thanks for stopping by and seeing what I made today and I hope to see you play along with this sketch and if youd like a little discount on some SpiegleMom goodies, use this code below when you check out in the shop!

Creative Scrappers December reveal and Blog Hop!!

Hi Everyone!

Creative Scrappers is hosting a BLOG HOP today in conjunction with our reveal for sketch 302 and our sponsor Spiegelmom Scraps. I hope you can take a few minutes from your busy day and join us!

I created 2 different layouts with this sketch. I stuck really close to the sketch with my 1st layout, Little Miss Doctor

I used some awesome Love beats sequins from Spiegelmom, I love the irradecent color of the white circle sequins and the hearts are so cute. Then I played with the cork pieces too, cork-fetti hearts. I also added a doily from Spiegeelmom.

I loved this sketch so I decided to use it again, but not follow it so close. I love the inspiration from sketches, you can use the same ones over and over again and get different results. So I went for it and loved how both of them turned out! I added some of the same items from Spiegelmom to this layou as well, but I also used a glassin baggie and filled it with sequins and sewed it shut with a cork heart to seal it.

Here's the order for today's hop!

Creative Scrappers / Love this day together 12x12 layout

Good morning everyone!! Today I'm sharing my 1st layout with Creative Scrapper sketch blog as a design team member!  

Here is the sketch, make sure to play along, share your layout with #CreatingWithSketches just like every month there is a fantastic prize for the winner and this month the great sponsor is My Creative Scrapbook.

Now here is my take on the sketch. I stuck real close to the sketch it self because I loved the way it looked.

I used the Maggie Holmes, Shine collection for this layout, it just went great with the colors in my pictures, since I don't usually scrap colored photos anymore, it was nice that I had something in my stash that worked so great!

 Thanks so much for stopping by and checking out my layout and I hope to see your layout out too!
