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} Christmas in July Linky Party - All Is Bright

 Here it is!! The last day to link your cards! The {BYSHC} Christmas in July Linky Party ends at midnight!

Today's card was a lightbulb moment late last night! I am not at home this morning so had to load up all my supplies and finish it at my daughter's dance studio! LOL

Started with a white cardstock panel that I ink blended faded jeans, broken china and speckled egg onto. Next I watered down some white acrylic paint and splattered it everywhere (including my glasses, my hands, the desktop, etc.)!  Stamped the snowman (from Unity Stamp Co. called Snow Day Like Today) onto a plain white scrap of regular cardstock. Colored with Tombow ABT Waterbased markers and then fussy cut him out! The ink blended panel was die cut using Tim Holtz Deckle Edge nesting dies and then glued down onto kraft. Burlap twine is from May Arts Ribbons and was tied around the panel. The sentiment was a second-hand purchase so I am unsure of which set it was from. The snowman and the sentiment were both mounted with foam adhesive for added dimension and the clear sequins were also from Unity but part of a Whit Kit and do not appear to be available on their own.

Considering that I colored, cut, glued and tied everything together while NOT at home was definitely interesting but completely do-able!!!

Be sure to get your entries linked before midnight! The link will close and then we'll wait for the prize announcements!!
