{BYSHC} Sketch 60 - Bring on the Merry!

 Hello friends and welcome to August! August brings us to Sketch #60!

For this card I used patterned paper from Fancy Pants Designs Cottage Christmas. This is a paper pack that I purchased second hand....it's from 2018! The grey plaid piece was already cut to the right size! I grabbed a scrap of coordinating paper and cut it to size as well. The image is from a retired Newton's Nook Designs set called Christmas Trimmings. Colored with both KingArt Alcohol Markers and Tombow ABT Markers. Some spaces were just too small for the alcohol markers! LOL I die cut a circle from vellum using the Unity Stamp Co. scallops and circles {nesting dies} set, then added some foam adhesive to the sentiment and die cut image. This is a fun sketch! Give it a try!

More Angie Blom Digital Designs and {BYSHC} Sketch #41!

 This month {BYSHC} is celebrating the prize sponsorship for the month with Angie Blom Digital Designs!

I started with a white card base. To that I added a background piece of kraft paper, then a piece of red (cut to the measurements on the sketch). The patterned paper was cut a little larger than the measurements listed. The red and patterned paper are from a pad from 2018 from Fancy Pants Designs called Cottage Christmas. I printed the image, which is part of the Blessings Poinsettia set onto Neenah white cardstock, then cut it (and the black circle) using the scallops and circles nesting dies from Unity Stamp Co. The image was colored using some alcohol markers made by Kingart. The sentiment is also included in the set, which I cut, and a red piece, using the scallops and banner nesting die set from Unity! I added some foam tape to the circles and the sentiment tag. Tied with some natural colored twine from Timeless Twine by BellaCreationz and added some red enamel dots from GinaMarie Designs.

Some images of the sketch and my crafty essentials!

to color the poinsettias I used some from this set and some from other sets. 

Numbers used: 13, 22, 46, 166.

This set comes with four images of a mason jar filled with poinsettias and a couple sentiments.

Favorite scissors!

Guest Designer for September! SpiegelMom Scraps is the place!!

 Hi and welcome back! I have been asked by SpiegelMom Scraps to be a guest designer for September! I am so honored and humbled! SpiegelMom Scraps is an online store that sells mostly sequins....the MOST beautiful packs of sequins you'll ever see! They also carry a bunch of other goodies.....foam tape, acetate sheets, ephemera....check them out!

My second scrapbook layout created in about a gazillion years! LOL These photos are from 2011, paper is from 2010! I told you it's been a while! LOL 

The paper, rubons and brads are all from Fancy Pants Designs, a collection called Rusted Sun. I used some square and rectangle nesting dies to cut the photos and a ruler/die (not sure how to describe it) to cut the edges of the title panel...all are from Unity Stamp Co.  The sketch I used was provided from Creative Scrapbooker Magazine. This sketch is part of their Spring 2024 page call on their website. I am submitting this to be published (fingers crossed)! I've had cards published but not a scrapbook layout! 

I used a combination of two SpiegelMom Scraps sequin packs....Sunny Days (September release) and Summer Hygge. I had originally planned on only adding a cluster next to the "sunshine" block, but then I started to add more and more and thought....why not just keep going! I love how they sparkle!

Here is the sketch for reference! 

Thanks for visiting! Stay tuned for more good stuff!!

{BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 25

 {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 25 starts today! Each month there is a new sketch and each month is a chance to add more cards to your holiday stash! (p.s. there is a prize to be won at the end of the month!)

Not all cards have to be complicated! For example, this one was easy peasy! White card base, black background, a double sided sheet of paper from Fancy Pants Designs - Saint Nick (circa 2011) which had the light blue on one side and polka dots on the other. The embellishments were sent to me by a friend clearing out her craft stash. They are from memories of the heart, called mini tags lights (circa 2006). Sentiment is from a Gracielle Designs from Unity Stamp Co. called Cheery Christmas. Foam tape to the tag and some Nuvo Drops in postbox red to finish it off!

Please be sure to add #byshcsketchchallenge25 to all of your social media posts!

Happy Crafting!
