Away we go! - Imaginisce

Hi everyone!! Today I want to share the travel layout that was posted on Imaginisce's blog today, for which I used my fabulous I-Top tool! I chose photos from our New York vacation where we stand on top of the Empire State Building.


I decided to use the sheet with the world map from the Perfect Vacation collection and to create matching brads to indicate the place of departure, the place of our destination and a brad to link my photos to these places.



I really love that the I-Top tool gives me the opportunity to create brads that exactly match my layout!!! For a step-by-step on how to use the I-Top see my blog post HERE. Thank you so much for visiting my blog today!


Supplies: Imaginisce: 12x12 paper pad, die-cuts, sticker stacker, die-cut tag pad (Perfect Vacation); Bazzill Basics: cardstock; Studio Calico: cork hearts, sequins; The Twinery: twine; K&Company: pen.
Tools: I-Top Brad Maker, I-Top paper punch 22mm, Brad Daddies 22mm; Aigger sewing machine; Tim Holtz: Tiny Attacher.

Hugs,

Creative Scrappers Sketch #273 - Love this guy

It's Reveal Day at Creative Scrappers and that means an awesome new sketch! This time created by Jenny Evans. I really loved today's sketch with the 3 photos, so I stayed pretty close to it:


My youngest with a huge lollypop on a windy balcony in Spain wearing his father's sweater.




I used Bella Blvd's "Max" collection. LOVE LOVE LOVE this one!!! Here's an overview:

On this date - Pretty Little Studio

Hi everyone, here's a layout I created for Pretty Little Studio which I haven't shared here yet. I scrapped these photos once before (some 10 years ago) but as I didn’t know a whole lot about right or wrong adhesives, I used the wrong one and all the photos and embellishments came off again. So now, I’m trying again! The Baby Jack collection with all the wood veneer patterns and the brown/orange and yellow colors is just perfect!!


I’ve also used my Epiphany Crafts Hexagon tool to create some hexagons embellishments and I love the result!





I love to use "smaller" patterns for the bubble caps and used one of the two 8" x 8" cover sheets of the Baby Jack collection for this:


Thanks for stopping by! Your comments make my day!

Monday Blues Post with Ruby Rock-It


Hello everyone! For Ruby Rock-It's "Monday Blues" post I created this layout with scraps and left-overs from (mainly) the Cook collection, one of my all time favorite Ruby Rock-It collections! 

It's a page that makes me happy, not only because of the photo of my boys, or because we were in France at the time the photo was taken, but also because of the warm and cheerful colors and the fun design of these papers! 


Although this collection is all about cooking I think it matches this photo perfectly. 
And what do you think of those awesome hexagon shapes I made with the Epiphany Crafts "Shape Studio Hexagon" tool with matching bubble caps? Epiphany Crafts was so very kind to send us some of their new tools to play with and that I did!! 


A close-up of one of the shapes: I think this is my new favorite tool from Epiphany Crafts!!


And a few other close-ups of my page: 


LOVE the China Blue brad!!


And this is the Epiphany Crafts Shape Studio Tool I used:


Here's a list of the supplies I used: 

Ruby Rock-It China Blue Brads
Ruby Rock-It Nostalgia Tickets


Other supplies: 
American Crafts: white cardstock
Studio Calico: Mister Huey color mist
Pen: K&Company Smash
Doily and Staples: misc. 
Cutting file: Amanda Robinson Studio
