Follow a Sketch February // Day 4

Does it get any better than Magical Paintbrushes?  No, no it does not.

Today I am scrapbooking yet another layout for our Disney Girls Trip of 2016. I think I have about 5 layouts now of these magical brushes. But, they were SO fun!

Today's sketch is from Citrus Twist Kit Club. The sketch came along with the January kit.

I used the kits on the page because why not? Honestly, it does seem a bit random, but I can totally explain it away if need be.

You can watch the process video here on my YouTube Channel:

Follow a Sketch February // Day 3 // Last of the Christmas Photos!

WOO HOO YEAH! Last day of the Christmas layouts! Can you believe it? Promised it would be over early in the month and I hope you think I delivered!


Today I just had fun with the sketch I found through a Google search. The sketch is attributed to sketchsupport.com, but that domain is not currently running.

I am a big fan of the border strips and the three areas of embellishment. Since this is Christmas, I knew I was not going to use flowers, but wasn't sure what I had in mind when I started scrapbooking.

Of course, I was excited to use TREES! If you have watched any of my Christmas videos, you know I love a good Christmas tree.

Sadly, or happily -however you roll- this is the last Christmas layout for the Follow a Sketch February Series. (Just look at that tree and that plaid and that gold! SQUEEEE I am a lover of Christmas for sure!)

Supplies used to create this layout:

• Paper Pad, North Pole Gazette - Recollections / Michaels
• Flair, Merry & Bright - Fancy Pants
• Tags, Comfort & Joy - MME
• Puffy Stickers, Merry & Bright - Fancy Pants
• Star Puffy Stickers - Made for Retail / Target
• Twine - Lawn Fawn
• Paper Pad, Christmas Magic - Shimelle / American Crafts
• Wood Veneer - Michaels
• Stickers, Classic Christmas - Simple Stories

Follow a Sketch February // Day 2

Welcome to Day 2 of Follow a Sketch February!

Today's sketch comes from the book Layout Blueprints. This is an older spiral bound book that I purchased many years ago.

I chose to do a double page layout for this sketch. Now, sometimes my double pages have a LOT of embellishing and fun little bits and sometimes they do not. This is one of those times it does not.

I changed this sketch up a bit by using 12 x 12 papers instead of the 8.5 x 11 that is pictured.

Yes, this is another Christmas layout. Tomorrow will be the last Christmas themed layout. I promise.

Supplies I used to create this layout:

• Winter Wonderland Paper, Merry & Bright - Fancy Pants
• Paper Pad, Cranberry Christmas - DCWV
• Thickers, Happy - American Crafts
• Art print, Sugar Plum - MME
• Stickers, Sugar Plum - MME
• Ephemera, Merry & Bright - Fancy Pants
• Stickers, Classic Christmas - Simple Stories
• Brad, Recollections - Michaels

Follow a Sketch February // Day 1

Today's sketch comes from Scrapbook & Cards Today Magazine.

I really liked the florals along the bottom edge of that box of paper. I had every intention of actually scrapbooking with flowers, but that did not happen. I had Christmas photos I had to scrap!

Instead, I went with a mixture of stickers, chipboard,  die cuts, and wood veneer to create a festive bottom border. 

All of that comes together to form a really fun, yet traditional colored Christmas scrapbook layout. Yes, I know it is February. Yes, I am still scrapping Christmas photos. Be on the lookout for just two more Christmas layouts during this month. And I get them out of the way quickly for you! 

This layout was created with:

• Black Cardstock - Creative Memories
• Stickers - The Story of Christmas, Echo Park
• 3x4 Journaling Cards, The Story of Christmas, Echo Park
• Paper Pad, Christmas Magic - Shimelle / American Crafts
• Paper Pad, Christmas - Tim Holtz / Idea-ology
• Thickers, Fitzgerald - American Crafts
• Stickers & Chipboard Stickers, Very Merry - Simple Stories
• Stickers, Classic Christmas - Simple Stories
• Chipboard Buttons, Cozy Christmas - MME
• Labels, Elle's Studio
• Glitter Tape, Recollections / Michaels
• Twine, Recollections / Michaels

Follow a Sketch February Begins Tomorrow!

Hey scrappy friends!

It looks like I kind of abandoned the blog for a little bit. I hope to make up for it by posting every single day in February!

I have turned my Follow a Sketch Friday series on YouTube in Follow a Sketch February.

Join me as I scour the web (and my scraproom) for sketches to use every day of the month.

Scrapbook Process: So Fun // Follow a Sketch Friday

Do you ever have a page where you just love it? Yeah. That's me with this bad boy.

Glitter paste, distress ink, mulberry paper, vellum. That's a good time, y'all.

I used the November 1, 2017 sketch from Stuck?! Sketches. 

Check out the process video below:

Scrapbook Process: Mermaid Fun

Today I am working on the Disney Girls Trip Album. This album is mainly blue, pink, and the neutrals with other pops of color thrown in.

Usually, I work a Disney album until it is completed, but for this one, I am mixing it up and scrapping it while I am scrapping other things.

I do have a kit that I have put together from my stash, but I am still pulling things that are not in the kit. I hope that will make a really well rounded album that still feels cohesive.

The kit lives in a basket on my table

Funny how the title is Mermaid fun, yet there are no photos of mermaids on this layout. We all know Ariel is a mermaid, though, right?

Where is her tail?
