Just Imagine February DT Reveal

When we share a Just Imagine Crafts/ Kreaxions DT reveal for the month we have a collection of themes to work from. Today the list is: Valentines, Love and Family... great choices with Valentines Day just around the corner.
Using very old photos (sorry for the dark colour..) they are precious memories. I made a family page remembering our 1st family home and also times with grandpa. The boys called Grandpa "Howdy" and that's how he greeted them when he say them. Both are loving memories that needed to be documented.  I used  Kreaxions punch #913 and throw away border and the circle cutter too.

Up close shows the circular photo with circular ring accent and the fab punched border that pops... fun ink rolled wavy circles make a great accent. I use stamp image from Heartfelt Creations stamps and the stars accents are inked from Creative Embellishments.

Lots of fun accents.. scrabble type letters, fun cluster with tag, twine, chipboard button and stickers.

Be sure to visit the blog where the rest of the DT shared and reveal 

more amazing uses of the Kreaxions Products.

Before and After

Hi .. today I thought i'd share a before and after. All of us walk away from a page when it's just OK and want to give some thought to making it better. It was originally a black n white with one colour themed page.. it was just OK so I had to redo and add more. ..  as I had just received a shipment of Creative Embellishments that were calling my name to use them.. so below is the altered page after changing it up and adding the CE embellishments... OMG really love it now... so what do you think?

Cookin Up Creations - 4th Annual MAD ABOUT SKETCHES

Welcome to Focus Friday at Cookin Up Creations... and also to our celebrate of our 4th Annual MAD ABOUT SKETCHES in March. During the month of March, we will be working with skethces that have been provided to us by the very talented Susan Stringfellow. Also each of us received a small package of flair buttons to work with which are so generously donated by Julie at the Joyful Moose etsy store.

 

 

Using the sketch... I challenge you also to focus on using a cluster.

 My fun floral and wood accent are a perfect cluster for this page.

 

 

Many thanks to our sponsor.. below is my card of buttons and the vintage looking ones were a great addition to my old photo page of my mom and dad before they were married.

 

 

You have all month to play along by sharing a LO, 2 cards, 4 ATC's or a altered project.. using the sketch and a cluster. I  would  love to see you join us and share your project.
