Hello again! Still catching up on blog posts and challenges. Moving on to another favorite challenge, the Book inspired challenge at Scrap Our Stash. 

I went with the overall space theme. The stars are hard to see because there are stars on the paper, but I added 5 bling stars around the page. One at the end of the title, in the center of the '0', and one near the cluster at the top of the photo, are 3 of them. 

My son has always been interested in space. It's a subject he strays from, but always seems to return to. After a recent trip to the library, he came home with these books to read in his "free time". All I can say is, I'm happy he has interests. I'm happy they are so broad and he has so much information available to him. I have to wonder if this is something he will pursue, or keep as a special interest. 

Thanks again for stopping by my creative view. Come back again, I have lots more to share

Li'l Dapper

Hey there! I am back today on my very neglected blog. Not for lack of crafting, or content, just due to lack of time to write.  Any way, here is a little something I made last week.

The theme of the page is inspired by the current book inspired challenge at Scrap Our Stash.  When I begin a layout, I normally start with my photo. This time though, I knew what product I would use before anything else. Everything in this collection screamed this challenge. The mustache, top hat, colors, all of it. The twine is looped through the tag. The design of the page inspired by Paper Issues Scraplift Sunday.

This guy had the BEST Special Ed Kindergarten teacher. She arranged for the class to go see Disney on ice. We got him all dressed up for the occasion. I had no idea how he would respond to the show. I sent him with a disposable camera, asking her to take photos of the day so I could see his reaction.  They weren't very good, but I do love how his teacher thought outside of the box for a field trip that all the kiddos in class could enjoy.

Thanks for stopping by my creative view. I know it's been a while. Come back again soon. I do have lots to catch up on.

Hey there and good morning! I get to share with you my second challenge reveal as the August guest designer for Scrap Our Stash . Today we have the sketch +3 challenge.

Here is how I used the sketch with stuff from my ever growing stash. This is a really fun sketch and something so different! When I saw the top of the sketch I immediately thought of banners. That led me to photos from my son's birthday last month. I found the cutest  A Banner Day cut file in The Cut Shoppe.  The angles in the sketch combined with my papers made for a bright whimsical page. I used Vellum layered under the banner as well as Various manufacturers, Doodlebug (paper and vellum) My Minds Eye and Freckled Fawn (enamel dots) Fancy Pants and A Flair for Buttons (Flair). Pieces of Washi Tape are at the top of the page and lastly I ran the Velum piece through my Xyron. 

We never know how he is going to respond to his birthday. Some years it's the balloons, others the singing. Not this year. This year was all about the presents, or one in particular that he recognized by shape, and trying to touch the candles on the cake. Mind you, he didn't want to actually eat any cake. Oh, and the balloons? It's a good thing I always get the long lasting helium because that's all he wanted the next day. 

Thanks for stopping by my creative view today and sticking with me through the slow months. Summer is almost over, so I'll be getting back to posting regularly.

Hello

If you are looking for Stuck?! Sketches post, please go here

Well, hello again! I have exciting news. I was asked to be the Guest Designer at Scrap Our Stash this month! 

In this role I will be sharing layouts I created based on the two August challenges. The first is the new Book Inspired Challenge. 

When I first looked at the book cover, I saw the maps and thought of a travel layout. The more I looked at it, the more I was attracted to the cursive writing in the hand. The script made me think about this "Hello" paper that I purposely purchased after getting tickets to see Adele in concert. It was the perfect inspiration for this challenge and to create a layout about the evening. The arrow near the photo of my friend and I is the decorative paper clip. 

The layout is very busy, so this helped draw the attention to us. I also created layers to keep the photos in focus. The strips at the bottom are pieces of confetti blown at he end of the concert. 

Thank you so much for stopping by my creative view today. Join this months challenges at Scrap Our Stash for an opportunity to win a prize or become their next guest designer.

Kids

Hey there! I'm all caught up so the rest of the month is scrapping whatever I please. Today is all about Scrap Our Stash. I am sharing pages I made for both July challenges today.

This first LO is based on the Stash challenge. Find inspiration from the book "Oh the Places You'll Go" by Dr. Suess, using 5 patterned papers and a circular element. I did this right after we got home from vacation after July 4. It's a Sketch from Paper Issues and wow, it got my mojo going!

I don't know where he thought he was going, but he booted his Uncle out of the captains chair and took over the wheel. I'm guessing he was discussing his plans with Hank the Bulldog, but we didn't catch what they were saying. I can tell you that Uncle Brian had to jump back in to steer, because we clearly weren't going where we were supposed to!  So yes, Oh the Places You'll Go!  There are 5 patterned papers, (wood, plaid, star, triangle, dots) a few round brads and a round sticker.

This next page is for the Sketch +3 challenge.  I used Simple Stories (game card die cuts), Theresa Collins (my guy and hexagon stickers) and Uniball pen (doodled lines on navy paper and around 'notes' above photo). I saw this Preppy Plaid cut file at The Cut Shoppe and loved it. It was perfect tot use as the background for this page.

While waiting at the doctors office one day, my son grabbed a coloring sheet and started coloring. I couldn't remember the last time he did that. It just struck me that as fast as he is growing up and becoming more independent, I was so happy to see a part of him that was still a little kid. 

Thanks for stopping by my creative view today. I've got lots of ideas in my head which means more pages and posts, so come back again soon

Today

Oh hooray for me! I got to play. I mean play. Just for fun. So now I get to share what I made. 

This photo has been staring at me for quite a while. I just hadn't been inspired to get it onto paper, until today! I saw a page in the Paper Issues FB group for Scraplift Sunday that I loved. It was easy for me to make it my own. Combining this with the Scrap Our Stash Book Inspiration challenge gave me the reason to use this photo as well as the finishing touches.

Like I said, this photo was staring at me. When I looked at the book inspiration again, I saw the family sitting together. Boom. From there I continued with the scrap lift idea. The pops of yellow are the scripted words, little bit of paper peeking out from behind the photo and the flowers at the top of the page.

There isn't really a huge story behind it, more like a moment in time. My Nani loved when we came to visit. One of her favorite things to do is walk to the park across the street, sit on the bench facing the ocean and enjoy the view. It's something we can all do together. It's something we all like to do as well. I guess this photo is just a visual reminder about time spent together.

Thanks for stopping by my creative view today. I'm getting back up to speed, so come back again soon. I will have more to share.

Remember

Hi There. Short and sweet today but I really wanted to get this written and posted. This page started with the Scrap Our Stash sketch + 3, then went sideways, before getting back on track. Why? Because I had it in my head that I was going to use one of those HAD to have scrappy items. The paper.

This is not the type of paper that I usually gravitate to. but I couldn't stop thinking about it, so I bought it. Only this time, I was determined to actually use it.  Paper first, then photo, then design. All backwards for me.  So I almost feel like the design gets lost a little on this paper. First, I went with a single photo. I was afraid more would make it too busy. Then I decided not to put the paper strips edge to edge.  Because of the flower clusters, I lowered the photo placements as well as simplifying the paper layers. I used a doily as the circular element, and moved it to the side. I used Jilibean Soup (butterflies), Kaiserkraft (black enamel pieces) and lined paper (background piece)

This is the last photo of my Nani and I. We were supposed to be out celebrating her birthday, but we settled for a visit in the hospital instead. She celebrated when she was home a few days later. There is no real title or journaling yet. I'm just not ready to write, but I sure love looking at the photo. For now, that's ok. 

Thanks for stopping by my creative view today and come back again soon. I'll be sharing slowly but surely over the next couple of weeks.

Me. Myself and I

Hey there! I almost forgot to post this! I,'m on a good roll with challenges and blogging this month. Mostly due to Calvinball. Now If I can only keep it up. Next up for me is a cheeky little number I created for the Paper Issues Spring Crop using the Sketch + 3 from Scrap Our Stash this month. 

I adjusted the sizes and number of the photos, also adjusting some into 3x4 cards instead. The rest is pretty much the same. From the 3 columns I used Graphic paper, (black & white) hot pink & hearts, and ink (splatters). Since I do so many boy pages, I always love a chance to use a doily. 

The Paper Issues challenge was to use a selfie. I'll say I did. I'll take a few Calvinball points for that too. You know me, I like to add humor to my pages. There is not better way to do that than to make fun of yourself. 

Thanks for stopping by my creative view today. Come back again soon, there is alway something going on around here.

Nothing's Changed

Oh hello again. I'm on a roll this week, plating catch up on some finished pages, and I'm not finished yet! Today I'm sharing a page I created for both Scrap Our Stash Challenge and Scrapbook Generation Crop.

This is the book inspired inspiration challenge and here is my resulting page.  I found myself using the colors pink and turquoise, as well as the banners, and yes there is gold all over the page, including the title. I used a 2 page Scrapbook Generation sketch and went to town with colors, patterns and embellishments. 

Last fall, I spent the weekend with some really good, but long lost friends. We recently reconnected after years apart and I couldn't have been happier. I don't know what happened, but let's thank social media for getting us back together. It truly was like nothing had changed since college. I wish we lived closer, but now it's time to just stay in touch.

Thanks for stopping by my creative view today. I've still got more projects to share, so come back again tomorrow.

Momo's Loves

Hello there! Just a really quick post today sharing a little something I created Super Bowl Sunday for a variety of challenges, including Scrap Our Stash for the Book inspired stash challenge.  

I really struggled with this cover. In the end, I went simple. I liked burst coming from behind the 'animal'. So here I used a bold striped paper coming out from behind the photos. The theme of the page is family love so the hearts were a great embellishment choice. 

I've had these photos for several years. They are the last I have with my Grandfather. I think that's why it's taken so long for me to scrap them. Although it was getting harder for Momo to get around, he could never say no to any of us. We enjoyed a beautiful winter day with a walk on the pier together. 

Thanks for stopping by my creative view today. I've got some exciting things coming up so check back here again this week.

More from Momo's Birthday

Hey there! I got to play! Well, actually, I have to thank Get It Scrapped for giving me a push to start working on the project that I'd set aside for several years. Combine that with a few challenges and I'm finding myself almost finished! Here are two more completed pages using sketches and challenges from Scrap Our Stash and ScrapMuch?

Fort up is the Sketch + 3 from Scrap Our Stash . 

I knew I could use the sketch in my album. I used 2 larger photos, instead of the smaller ones and moved some embellishments around. Not every page in the album has a title, such as this one. I used American Crafts-White Cardstock, Blue, and Red. Considering I'm using the same product throughout the album, this was pretty easy to do ;-). 

Next is the sketch from ScrapMuch?  One look and I knew it would also work in the album. 

I did two things right away; flip it on its side and use larger photos. I printed all the photos for this book in 4x6 and I was not re-printing any of them!  This sketch adjustment worked great for me. I kept it simple and it came together quickly. 

Thanks for stopping by my creative view today. I'm almost done sharing baseball photos. Well, maybe...Come back again soon. I've been busy and have much to share.

Momo's 90th

Hey there. I'm working on finishing a project I should have started and finished a long time ago. Today I have for you the title page to the album. It's not the first page I've done, and far from the last.I love baseball and am having so much fun using all the baseball themed stuff I've been hoarding away for this project. 

This page was inspired by Scrap Our Stash Cat in the Hat and Paper Issues Take 5 challenges.  My colors for the album are red. white and blue, so the red and white of the Hat were easy for me to incorporate. I even used a striped tag. I added some white paint to the edge of the LA paper as a border, then splattered a little silver across the card stock.  I also liked how on the book cover treble and white were split, and designed my page with the same idea. 

Paper Issues new Take 5 challenges asked to use 5 of the listed items in your project. I used blue, card stock, alpha stickers, die cuts, paint/mist, a circle, and twine.

Thanks for following me along my creative view. Stop by again soon, I've got lots to share.

It's a Brown Bear...

Well hello! It's been a while since I've had time to play. I mean play just for me, just for fun. I guess it's that time of year. Anyway, I took some inspiration from a couple of my favorite places, Scrap Our Stash and Paper Issues Sketchy Saturday.

I adapted the sketch to two larger photos instead of the smaller 3. I left the rest pretty much the same. All of the elements chosen make up the DIE CUTS requirements. Die cuts, ink, enable dots, chevron, UmWow Studio (arrows), Triangles, Stars, Simple Stories

My son goes through phases, only we call it the toy of the moment. We never know what it's going to be or how long it's going to last. Let's just day the Brown Bear phase lasted so long, I could recite the book by heart.  It still makes frequent appearances.

I'm so glad you stopped by my creative view today. Come back again soon, I have a lot going on this week.

Green Bananas & Shenanigans

Hey there. I have so much going on here today. Nothing like waiting until the last minute. But, well, it's still summer at my house which means lots of time with my children, not so much time with my crafty supplies, let alone blogging. So here goes. These pages are inspired by both August challenges at Scrap Our Stash

First up is the PAPER stash challenge. (Now I remember why I waited so long to write the post. I wanted to retake the photo. Forgive the poor editing ;-) )

In our family, we like to make jokes about each others' silly quirks. In this case, it's my husband's  preference to eat only almost green bananas. No spots, not really yellow. Pretty much green. My son took it upon himself to snap this photo while the two of them were out shopping.  As I was searching for product to use, I remembered I had this Bella Blvd collection. The saying on one of the papers was perfect. I painted the words I wanted to highlight. The combination of yellow and green help tell the story as well. 

Anyway, I used Polka Dots, Alphas & arrows, Paint (I painted the words green), Echo Park (the green background paper) and 3 tiny black Rhinestones.

Next is the sketch + stash challenge

 I played around with the sketch a little by using triangles in place of the rectangular shapes. The rest of the design is fairly evident. I used stripes, Simple Stories and paint/mist.  I liked using a dog themed line mixed with colors and patterns from another line. The result is lighthearted and fun, like the photo.  Some Paper Issues Swag Bag pieces and Printables made their way onto the page, as well as inspiration from the August Pinspire me board. 

Again, my son is showing me his sense of humor. Self Timer Shenanigans indeed. I left my phone at home while I went shopping. I came home to a giggling boy, who couldn't keep this to himself.  "mom, check your phone". So I did. He knows that if he does silly things, especially with my phone, it's going to go public at some point.  He didn't mind this time, and I love seeing him be silly. 

Well, that's it for now. Thanks for looking at my creative view. Check back again later today. Ive got more to share.

Life's a Beach

Good Saturday to you! I'm back for my 6th post this week! and I'm not done yet! Today I am sharing what I made using the July free cut file from Paper Issues. Her are this month's cuts.

I cut the "Beach Life' and added an 's' from one of the other cuts. Since all the 'a's were welded, I found a font close to this one and voila, "life's a beach'! I was playing around with photo filters when I took this photo a few years ago. Because it is washed out, I surrounded it with the bright saturated colors of the Fancy pants Making Waves collection, so it would stand out.  

This was the first time I had seen him reality relax and enjoy being at the beach. I think he was finally old enough to know its ok to chill out and enjoy the warn sand and cool surf. 

Design inspiration for this page comes from a great Let's Get Sketchy sketch, as well as Scrap Our Stash for their PHOTOS challenge this month. I used Polka dots, Heidi Swapp mist, orange, twine, October afternoon Flair and Silhouette.

Thanks for stopping by my creative view today. I've still got more projects to share, so come back again soon. Like what you see here? Use my discount code BEACHGAL for 20% off your oder in the  Paper Issues shop

Picnic Pix & Bundled Up

Hey there. I have two pages to share today. I'm playing along with both May challenges at Scrap Our Stash.  

This first page I created for Paper Issues Scraplift Sunday. I used the ideas of the EMBOSS stash challenge when I put it together.  Elle's Studio, Mist, Brads, October Afternoon (alphas), Stripes, Squares

Just a beautiful summer picnic on a cliff overlooking the ocean. I liked the cuteness of the hats. These two have a special relationship. He would only sit still to eat if Nani was sitting with him.

This second page is for the sketch challenge.

Yes, I know we are headed into summer, but when I saw the sketch, I thought of these photos and snowflakes.  I almost forgot about the handmade flower. Because I used snowflakes, I made a layered snowflake 'flower'. I cut a larger snowflake on the Silhouette, layered a snowflake sticker, then added another small circular snowflake sticker in the middle. 

I look at these photos now and think about all the time and effort it took to get out the door during the cold winter months. Hats, boots, gloves, scarves, coats. Just to get into the car! He was always such a good sport and so patient. But he loved his crazy hats.

Thanks for stopping by my creative view today. Come back gain soon, I have lots to share.

More Than a Teacher

Good morning. I have a layout in the newest article on the Get it Scrapped blog. Today's subject is about scrapping a teacher who had a great impact in your life, or your family's life.  For me, this was a fairly simple choice. It was either my 4th and 5th Grade teacher Mr. Keller, or Joshua's Kindergarten teacher, Ms. Santelli. I went with Joshua's teacher.

Ms. Santelli was our teacher for 2 years.  I say our, because her main philosophy in teaching Special Education is building community between, teachers, children and parents. This changed all of our lives.  The photos only show her interacting with my son one school day. I describe Ms.Santelli, her philosophies and why we loved her so in the journaling.  Joshua is now in 7th grade. Thank you Ms. Santelli. Much of what she taught us we still use today. We have kept in touch all this time and consider her a family friend.  
 
I chose the title in black as a strong contrast and to draw the view into the page. I did use some school themed products as well as inspirational quotes and sayings to support the theme of the page and our story. The star attached to the journaling is also functioning to hold the paper down. It is two pages. 

Thanks for taking a look at my creative view today. Come back soon, there's always something going on around here.

By My Side

Good morning! It's another busy Sunday around here. First up is a new challenge at Red Carpet Studios. This week's movie choice is The Lucky One. Your challenge is to use gold and the word "lucky" somewhere on your project.

I know my first inclination should have been to be more supportive of the St. Patricks Day theme, but that's not really my style. I came across this photo of my son and I. It made me think of the day, and what we were doing. We were on a boat on our way to San Juan Island. It was a miserable, cold, rainy, summer day. It was not a good day to be out on deck. So, we sat inside at the table the whole trip.  The more I thought about it, the more I realized, yes, he pretty much was always by my side. Truthfully, I wouldn't have it any other way.

I had a bright and colorful paper collection, unopened and waiting to be cut up. I loved the circle paper. All tucked in and nestled against each other, much like my son and I. All of the sentiment stickers I chose tell my feelings about him, in general. Some are definitely a bit on the sarcastic side. There are some tags outlined in gold tucked around the page as well as gold paint splatter. Layered over the tag on the left side on the photo is a sentence made up of stickers "lucky 2 B, you & me"

This is also inspired by the STENCIL challenge at Scrap Our Stash.  I used stickers, twine, Echo Park, number, chipboard, inked edges, labels

Thanks for stopping by my creative view today. I've got another post up today for Picture This

Smile Pretty

I have a new LO to share today inspired by challenges at Scrap Our Stash, Paper Issues. It is also my DT application for an opening soon challenge site called Picture This. DT Call ends on 12/1. There is still time to get your application in! This LO has been finished for almost a week, but due to Thanksgiving, anything scrapbook related had to take a back seat.

This is the Scrap Our Stash Sketch that I started with. The other requirements are someone I am thankful for and to use 5 of my 'go to' stash items.

For the Picture This application, I had to use one photo, a flower cluster, and a frame.

For Paper Issues, I used the 'together' part of "birds of a feather flock together"

Here is my LO

I try not to overlap to many challenges, but these challenges all worked really well together. This Scrap Our Stash sketch was a fun way to use the Picture This requirements. The flower cluster is at the top, the resin frame at the diagonal corner of the single photo of my sister and I together, which is a treat. We live far apart. The truth is, i'm thankful to have her in my life.  The other elements I used are shaped paper clips, die cuts (both pre-made and cut on a Silhouette, resin shapes, sequins, mist and washi tape. 

So there you have it. Almost short and sweet. Thanks for taking a look at my creative view today. Check back again. I will have more to share soon

U Pick 'em

Oh, I had so much fun on Scrappy Friday. I spent the day in my scrap room, where I was actually fairly productive. Today I am sharing one of the projects I finished. I used the newest sketch at ScrapMuch? as well as inspiration from the Bingo board challenge at Scrap Our Stash and Paper Issues current Issue-You're sew cute you keep me in stitches

I had 4 photos that I wanted to use so I adjusted the sketch to suit my needs. I balanced the two sides by mirroring them.  I do a lot of 2 page LO and was happy to see one in a sketch challenge.  I used the middle vertical column of the Bingo board. There are tags, paper clips, wood veneers set on a base of kraft paper. My free space can be brads, twine, washi or mist. There is natural twine that connects the clips.

Our fall family tradition is apple picking. While living in Illinois, we found an orchard that we really liked. This particular one also had a late blooming raspberry vine. I had never been berry picking, and suggested we do so. I wound up taking more pictures than picking berries, but that's ok, since these are the results.

Thanks for stopping by my creative view today. Come back again. I have lots to share.
