SOMEWHERE - Scrapbook Circle August Sketch & Pinkfresh Studio Prize!

There is a new sketch challenge at Scrapbook Circle and it is, as usual, it is super inspiring!
I looked at this sketch and thought the horizontal strips would be perfect for a rainbow of colors.
There are so many vivid colors in the August 'Island Paradise' kit.  And I had the perfect photo to use!

Here is the sketch below and you can find the original post HERE along with lots of
great interpretations from the rest of the design team.



I chose my colors for the rainbow stripes to match the colors of spray mist I had.
I misted groups of the wood veneer sequins from Chic Tags that were part of the
'Tiki Torch' Add-on in those colors in the six colors.

  I chose some embellishments from both Add-ons kits and the main kit and added the

like colors elements to the same colored strips.

I used the Scrapbook Circle August stamp to get lime green color I

wanted and that would match my mist and flair.

The prize for this challenge is the current Limited Edition kit from Pinkfresh Studio!

It is an amazing collection of stamps, canvas pockets, a metal die and so much more!

Definitely a fabulous prize! :)

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you get crafty and join this challenge!
The challenge ends at 11:59pm on August 27th.
You can upload your LO based on the sketch to either the post on the Scrapbook Circle Blog
or to our Facebook page!  Have a great weekend!

beauty - Scrapbook Circle Lifting You June 2014

The sketch that was assigned to me to Scrap Lift for my Scrapbook Circle June assignment

was an awesome layout by Chelsea.  You can see the original post on the Scrapbook Circle

website HERE that shows her layout I lifted.  I stuck to it pretty closely because I loved it so much.

I used the main June kit 'Hello There' and the Add-on 'Take Note.'

I love this paper from Basic Grey, but the colors are pretty powerful.  I used a layer of gesso on

the background pattern and then followed her cues in using the size and number of photos.

I used lots of the die cuts from Basic Grey as well to create a cluster under my photos. 

I used one of the Heidi Swapp watercolor tags and colored it with Distress Inks.

I also layered some rub-ons and ink splatters like Chelsea's LO.



Be sure to share your pages with us on the Scrapbook Circle Facebook

page and we could 'lift' one of your creations!!  Thanks for stopping by!

Simple Cards - Pinkfresh Studio June 2014

 I needed to make a graduation card and had this word stamp picked out...

The phrase made me think of being positive & arrows pointing up!  I used the color block triangles

instead of arrows since they fit perfectly into the shape of my embossing folder.

Finally, I recently bought some distress markers and wanted to play with them.  I heat embossed

a few doilies onto the card to color and the glossy embossing made me choose the enamel heart stickers.

I love the way it turned out and it is a great generic card to have on hand!

Thanks for stopping by the blog today!  Hope you become inspired by the fabulous

colors and shapes in the Pinkfresh products!  Have an amazing day!
