Fun

Well amongst class items, kit stuff, DT responsibilities, I have managed to get a couple of layouts created for myself. This one was based on sketch #8 at Sketchabilities. I absolutely love their sketches. They always have so much inspiration to them and although my layouts don't always look like the sketch, it is a great starting point to create with.
Here is my layout using this sketch as the inspiration and starting point. I am so pleased with the way this turned out and it will be the second page to a previous page I created. Journaling will come later and will be added using my dymo labeller in the bare spot on the bottom of this page.

Love me some Bo Bunny Inspiration

Anyone that knows me, knows how much I love Bo Bunny products and I love visiting their blog for all the wonderful inspiration that the team creates! This past Friday, they had posted on their blog, Layout Challenge Friday. When I saw this sketch, I just knew that I would have to try and play with it and see what I could come up with! They posted this sketch for inspiration and have asked us to play along and share our creations with them. Of course, I love a good challenge, and therefore got working on this immediately.


For my layout I used the Bo Bunny Flutter Butter papers, rub-ons, stickers and buttons and bling. I did a lot of slicing of the original pattern papers to get the most out of it. I didn't have the flowers that went with this collection, and therefore I cut them out from the pattern papers and pop dotted them on my layout for added dimension. My inspiration for this layout came from the quote on the Bo Bunny sticker: Whatever you are, be a good one!


I used this photo of me, that was taken at the Royal Botanical Gardens in Niagara Falls, Ontario in 2007. We frequently visit there and my husband thought that I needed to scrap more photos of me. So here we have it, another layout of me for our albums.
In addition to my Bo Bunny products I used bling swirls from Dollar Giant, Bazzill Cardstock and American Crafts Thickers for my title.

April Project 12/Buddy Guy

As many of you know, I have been playing along with the gals over at Scrapbook & Cards Today, with their Project 12 program. This sketch was designed by Becky Fleck for the April Project 12 and was absolutely perfect for the photos from the Buddy Guy concert I attended on April 8, 2010.

I love participating in this project and have chosen to do it based on concerts that I have been to this year! It is a great project and is going to really help me get this album done. I can't wait to have this finished album at the end of the year!

Now I will have to patiently wait for May to arrive so that I can get my photos for the May Project 12 sketch. Stay tuned!

Imaginisce Blog April Sketch Challenge

When I saw this sketch posted on the Imaginisce blog, I was so inspired! I have been trying hard to use up some older supplies, and this was the perfect opportunity for me to participate in this month's challenge on their blog and use up some of my Twitterpated Collection.
In order to make the sketch work for me, I had to turn it, but I am really pleased with the end result. I left off the title though, because I just couldn't think of anything!





I love the Twitterpated Collection. The colours are so much fun and the patterns are great. I just love the little critters from this collection.

Materials used:

Imaginisce Twitterpated pattern paper: Mushroom fancy, Colorfall and Critter Chatter
Imaginisce Studded Stickers: Foxy and Blooms
Imaginisce Bling Brads
Prima flowers
Bazzill Cardstock

I also used Martha Stewart border punch and EK Success Scallop circle punch
