THE RUBBER BUGGY products used for the Creative Inspiration Sketches for July Challenges

The Rubber Buggy project was made using my very own sketch from Creative Inspirations for the month of July. Using the sketch below I followed the sketch background and worked my way forward to the amazing  fall family photos from my youngest son's family.

I used Blue Fern Studios Remnants Paper Collection, some cardstock, Prima Flowers and some brads. The title is a copic marked chipboard. I use Beacon 3-in-1 for most of my projects.

This super fun but easy card is also made using The Rubber Buggy products and my very own card sketch. I used the sketch for the background moving forward creating the fun may layered border with Heartfelt Creations paper floral flower band. I fussy cut the print butterfly for an accent, die cut the gold butterfly using only part of the Tutti #267 Fluttering butterflies die, Tutti #229 Word Set Birthday, Tutti #228 Word Set Happy and also did the gold Happy Birthday.

Off the Rails Scrapbooking March Challenge

At Off the Rails Scrapbooking this month we are sharing the amazing mood board below to inspire your projects ... hope you'll love it as much as I did and play along with us this month.

To start my page I always do the background, cut the paper accents I hope to use and lay out some photos I hope to use.

I pull and lay in some accents that will make the page come together.

The chipboard is inked white and the bead accent is added.

In this section there is some lace, flowers and a doily.

Fun puffy accents and little sticker alpha make up the titles and subtitles.

The photos are showcased on black, white and the colour gold.... it looks wonderful.

Sept 1st Creative Embellishments Challenge

 hi... OMG it's September already. So to start off the month I am sharing the Creative Embellishments Challenge for the month.

I was inspired by some of the colours, letters and #'s and was drawn to the back to school idea. I used one of my very own Creative Inspiration sketches to start the background paper strips and circle. I used 2 different Creative Embellishment stamps - Distressed Number Stamp,  Binary Stamp and then used this amazing Alphabet Frame chippie set with crayons, glue and eraser along with the fabulous Adventure Word Set for Titles.  I copic coloured them. I finished this off with some brads and it's all done with a great first day back to school photo.

In the close ups i'll share some details..... what fun design to work with . Used the background strips and the circle from the sketch to start this one.

All the great chipboards are copic coloured and look amazing.

The alphabet frame is copic coloured but with great mix of colours all around.

The fun large brads added dimension and a sparkle to the page. Notice the stamping in the background of this section.

Used the distressed Stamp set in this section.

Thanks for stopping by today... hope to see you again soon.
