Wedding stuff

I think the "random" pictures are the hardest to work with.  I want to include all the aspects of the wedding but don't want to overwhelm them with embellishments.

On a good note, I love multi photo sketches where I can knock out a few of these pictures at once.

Here is the sketch that inspired me from Sketch N Scrap #189:

Sand Ceremony

I love that I was able to find so many different doilies thanks to the Martha Stewart collection at Joann's and Michael's.

Most of the papers are from the Silver Leaf collection by DCWV.

Here is the sketch I used by Sketches in Thyme # 395:

Apple Picking Fun

Happy Friday!!

I am lucky enough to have the house to myself this weekend!  Everyone went camping and won't be home until Sunday!  

So in between loads of laundry (yuck), I will be knocking out some pages.

Here is the sketch sketch from Scrap Our Stash for November:

I chose to use "apples" as my fruit:

I didn't realize how many apple designed papers I had in my stash.  I guess now is a good time to start using them.

I fussy cut the apple cluster from a page by Creative Imaginations.

I slipped in little pieces of jute for texture.

Hope you like it!

WonderFall

Now I'm excited to be finishing off Fall and Thanksgiving pics !!  Apparently, I have a hard time committing to one subject lately...

This page was inspired by this moldboard from Scrapping with Stacy:

I just bought a few of these decorated circle die cuts because they are perfect for Fall pages.

The leaves are from Michael's - fall sale clearance.  

The pumpkins, sunflowers and scarecrow are foam accents also from Michael's.

I used some scraps from an Imaginisce collection from a long time ago.

Now I'm really motivated and hope to complete at least one more page before bed!

My Silver Lining

I played along with the challenge from Challenge Up Your Life today.

The challenge was to use Black, White and 1 color.  This is perfect to sneak in another wedding page.   My daughter said I needed more black on my pages...(insert eye roll).

I used the purple from the wedding to use as my accent color with the black and white.

I used the Silver Leaf stack from DCWV. I saw this online and had to race over to Joann's to pick it up right away!  Sometimes these new stacks sell out immediately.

I will definitely be using a lot of this stack for wedding pages.

This is the sketch from DCWV I used.

I think this was supposed to be a card sketch, but I can adapt...lol.

Thanksgiving break

Hello again!

I have been so productive and getting so many wedding pages done, but decided to take a break to work on other things before I get totally burnt out.

Of course, there are so many ideas for Thanksgiving now.  And once I gathered up all my goodies for this holiday, I decided that working on previous years celebration pics would be a good idea.

Here is my page using a sketch I found on Pinterest:

The mix of papers are all older.  Some were leftovers from kits.

My title is from Creative Embellishments.  I painted it white to start with and then colored it in with markers.  I dabbed a little bit of bronze ink over it all, but it wasn't showing very well.

The pumpkin is a wooden piece I found at Michael's quite a while ago.

I also used markers and bronze ink on this.  

The turkey is from a sticker set from Recollections.

The leaves and buttons are all from the stash.

This is for the November challenge from Creative Embellishments.

Here is the moodboard:

The added twist was to add something wood.

I was so glad I found the pumpkin!

Friends at the wedding

I don't normally do 2 page layouts but what a way to knock out a lot of pictures!

I did this page using the 2 page sketch from Stick it Down:

I hope my daughter likes it!
