March Double Page Sketch from Stick It Down

Whoooo March! Here in Minnesota the temperatures start becoming more favorable and spring seems to be near! Although we certainly can have our fair bit of snow in March, it’s still one step closer to spring!

This month we have a really neat geometric sketch from Stick It Down that I loved creating a layout for!

Aren’t those triangles just the coolest?? Here’s what I came up with!

This is another layout that I chose to use my FUSE tool and add some more photos on the underside. Can you spot the plastic of my page protector? It’s pretty challenging to eliminate that glare from the lights sometimes, but using my FUSE is still worth it!

If you’re curious what a FUSE tool is check out my YOUTUBE video here. I explain briefly how to use it, but how I choose to use it on my scrapbook layouts.

As always thanks for swinging by my little corner of the internet! Make sure to leave me a comment telling me how you’re going to use this sketch to document some of your memories!

Guest Designer at Lasting Memories Week 2

Welcome to Week 2 of our Lasting Memories challenge! Did you try out the challenge from last week? if not, there’s still time! Hop on over to the Lasting Memories Blog and look for it!

Here’s our new sketch for the week:

Here’s my take on it!!

I think outdoor layouts are some of my favorite ones to scrap! I was able to use up some old Simple Stories paper and embellishments which made it even better! I feel good about that because then it makes way for new paper! Whooooo!

Anyway, I hope you join me this week and try out this new challenge for yourself! Thanks for swinging by!

Guest Designer at Lasting Memories Week 1

Hello and welcome to MARCH! Yay! Spring is right around the corner!

This month I have some special layouts planned! I was graciously asked to Guest Design for the Lasting Memories blog and their theme of the month just happens to be sketches….which is like my favorite thing ever! So for the next 5 weeks, I get to share with you a new layout based off of 5 different sketches!

Let’s get started with Week 1’s design:

This fun snowman sketch had me reminiscing our first time with taking Andie out on the lake this winter. She had the cutest little polar bear suit to keep her warm, and I wanted to make sure to get pictures of it!

Here she is with my dad (her grandpa) enjoying some sunshine out on the lake.

Thanks for swinging by! Come back next week to see the next challenge!

February Double Page Sketch Challenge from Stick It Down

Welcome to February! I’ve always loved this month because of the emphasis on love 🙂 Cue the Hallmark movies! But today I get to show you a neat sketch from Stick It Down that I hope you’ll try out yourself!

Isn’t this such a fun one? My eye was instantly drawn to those diamonds in the background! Here’s what. I ended creating based off the sketch:

I think it turned out pretty great! I loved One Canoe Two’s Saturday Afternoon line and decided to use that fun rainbow paper up! Love seeing some of my older lines get used 🙂

I hope you get a chance to swing by Stick It Down’s website and try your hand at this sketch! It was a fun one! As always, thanks for swinging by my blog!

January Double Sketch from Stick It Down

Here’s my take on the sketch:

Scrapping this layout just brought me back to some fun summer memories from 2019!

December Double Page Sketch from Stick It Down

Welcome to December! A month filled with hope, joy and giving! I love this month for so many reasons! We have a fantastic Christmas-y sketch at Stick It Down this month that I think you’re going to LOVE!

Here’s what it looks like:

I loved the circular wreath on the second page! Here’s how my take turned out:

I love it when sketches allow me to combine lots of photos into a single layout. I take way too many pictures and want to scrap as many as I can…so double page layouts are my favorite!

I hope you have a terrific Christmas season spent with family and friends! Merry Christmas!

November Double Page Sketch from Stick It Down

Wow! October really flew by! Ready or not, welcome to November!

Here’s our new sketch challenge for the month of November from Stick It Down:

Here’s what I created based off the sketch:

I loved our time spent in Zagreb, Croatia last summer and I wanted to use some fun bright colors for this layout! Hopefully, we can go back to Croatia soon and explore the coastal parts!

Thanks so much for swinging by my website! I hope you have a wonderful day!

October Challenge Entries

I’ve had a few extra days to scrap since I’m quarantining at home awaiting Baby Roisland’s arrival! There have been some really fun challenge’s that have caught my eye, so I figured I’d play along with a few!

First off I’m entering this layout in Rochelle Spears’ challenge and Scrap with Stacy’s challenge (along with the Bonus Friends challenge!). You can view Rochelle’s sketch challenge here and Stacy’s challenge here. I followed Rochelle’s sketch and used GOLD (part of my pink paper had gold lines in it and the polaroid camera is gold), HEARTS, and created an EMBELLISHMENT CLUSTER (the 2020 part in the top left corner) to complete Stacy’s criteria.

Here’s what I came up with:

Secondly, I loved The ScrapRoom’s sketch and figured I’d use it to highlight some cross-country skiing photos from last winter. I no longer have Facebook to post it in their challenge album (needed a mental health break from it!) so I figured I’d just post it here for fun! 🙂

Thanks so much for the fun challenges, ladies! And thanks to YOU for swinging by my blog this month!

October Double Page Sketch from Stick It Down

Welcome to October! A glorious month filled with pumpkin spice chai latte’s and all things fall. I’m so excited for this month too because we will be welcoming our new beautiful little blessing by the end of the month! I can’t wait to meet him or her!

Alright onto the fun from Stick It Down! Here’s our latest sketch for the month:

I’m still working on scrapbooking my Europe trip from last summer, so this layout is capturing the beautiful palace, Schonbrunn, just outside of Vienna, Austria. The palace and ground were absolutely stunning and I can see why it’s known as Vienna’s jewel.

I again decided to use my FUSE tool in order to layer more pictures to remember this beautiful place.

If you are unfamiliar with what a FUSE tool does, check out my video here:

Thank you so much for swinging by my blog this month! We would love to have you join us in Stick It Down’s double page challenge too! Time for another pumpkin spice chai!

September Single Page Sketch Challenge

Ahhh….my soul feels refreshed when I’m able to carve out a full day to devote to scrapbooking. I once heard someone say, “if you’re a creative soul and you’re not able to be creative…you will be miserable.” So true!

Anyway, I came across Rochelle’s sketch challenge for the month and thought I would give it a shot. Here’s what the sketch looks like in case you want to play along too!

Here’s how my page turned out:

This page is the last page in my Europe album and I’m thrilled to finally be finished scrapbooking this trip! YAY! It only took me a year haha! But I know that it’s something I’ll treasure for years to come.

Now onto my other normal projects! Thanks for swinging by my blog! 🙂
