I have been online scrapping since spring of 2009 and I

have never looked back.. it's truly amazing who and

So glad to have a chance to meet you.

We are going to share with you this amazing sketch and

hopefully inspire you with our projects using it.

On my Summer Fun project I used a few of the newer fun elements and techniques.

The banner is made and accented using the bakers twine and I hand cut the summer elements.

I used stamping and added glitter accents to the cluster which also has

a handmade Paper Medallion which is edge punched with Martha Stewart punch,

backed with dark cardstock for colour pop through and added a centre button.

Lots of machine stitching, some brads and journal tags hand cut from the papers finished

off this great fun layout.

Below I am also sharing my Video Tutorial on how to make the Paper Medallion.

Just Imagine Crafts/Kreaxions and Cookin Up Creations Birthday Bash #9

Just Imagine Crafts/Kreaxions Punches and Cookin Up Creations Birthday Bash #9

I am multitasking... and also used the sketch from Ginni posted in the

Challenge link at Just Imagine Crafts.

I used Kreaxions Punch #919 in the lower left , topped by the fall away piece.... and

the cross looking pieces Iplaced in the circles as accents.

Also on the top left square I used Kreaxions Punch #302 and insert A.

Both the borders I layered the background with white cardstock

so the punch would show through in more detail.

At Cookin Up Creations the Birthday Bash #9 challenge is:

Polka dots, circles, circle photos, and red embellishments.

Sassy Lil Sketches

Thought it would be fun to play along with some of my

friends over at Sassy Lil Sketches..

Using the sketch turned sideways I did the soccer layout.

Used some punches, bazzill borders, cut journal strips from paper, added brad soccer balls,

machine stitching and some stickers.

Cherie has some amazing sketches.. be sure to pop on over

and be inspired with the sketches and the work of the DT using them.

Red White n Blue..

Paper Issues challenge is to use Red White n Blue.. this amazing fun

sport page is perfect for this colour combo... GS playing baseball.

Some fun punching borders, stickers and letters finish it off ..

and fun action sports photos.

We Scrap Challenges, Cookin Up Creations Birthday Bash, The Paper Variety

We Scrap Challenge with Ally was to use Chevron paper.

Found this bold bright fun collection with a chevron piece.. it was perfect.

Also used the Cookin Up Creations Birthday Bash #24 which was to

scraplift from Tammy. Below is the one I choose to use.

I had some fun with this one.. added some hand stitching to the banner and few accents

in the clusters, machine stitching, lots of layers, nestible photo, chipboard letters and

some epoxy journaling strips.

Also The Paper Variety challenge is a summer theme.. way to easy.. and this one is perfect.

Terrifically Thrilling Thursday with Just Imagine Crafts / Kreaxions and Cookin Up Creations

Happy Thursday..... it's still June at Just Imagine Crafts using Kreaxions Punches.

I have used the 2 sketches all month long..

along with 2 different punches... hope you have enjoyed it as much as I have.

I used Kreaxions Punch #601 on bottom border.. and saved the flowers for the 2 accents on sides of the photo... love it.

Then I used Kreaxions Punch #917 with insert A around the circle..

On this one I added many fun embellishments... 3D stickers, gel dots, pearl bling,

tabs, paper stickers, brads, tags and added stitching.

All these fun elements was for the challenge at Cookin Up Creations Birthday Bash #12.
