Sketch reveal-SOUS 5.24

TGIFridaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay... 

Its sketch reveal for us girls over at S.O.U.S again today and this weeks sketch was created by our very own Leah.. I bought a 6x6 stack by My Minds Eye from Michael's last fall and I loved the colors and prints in the collection.  I didn't want to use them since they'd be all gone.  So,  then I decided to scan the entire paper collection, imported the prints to the Silhouette Design Edition and finally printed the papers to create this layout.. I was able to take 6x6 papers and create this 12x12 layout..

I am trying to create more with colors that I normally don't use.. and this color combo is definitely one of them..LOL  I don't have photos for this layout since I almost ran out of ink after printed everything.. I will add photos of my daughter and her horse "Tulipo" ..

I have some close ups and details for you:

Silhouette Cameo

Inspired by a Song- Whimsical Designs reveal..

Happy Hump Day ladies..

I'm always so happy to post on a Wednesday since we all know its one day closer to Friday and the weekend..LOL

So, with that said... Us girls over at Whimsical Designs were asked to create a project that is "inspired by a song!"... Now, this one really took me for a loop since I normally listen to either Heavy Metal or Rock-n-Roll and just could not brain storm a title for a layout...But, for some reason this title popped in at the last minute and I decided to scrap my older fur ball..

So, this is what I came up:

the papers are by Cosmo Cricket and its a digital kit I had bought.. I love love love the colors cause its not my normal color combo that I scrap with, I tend to stick with the softer color tones..LOL

Here's a few close ups and some details:

The title I created myself with some free fonts.  The paw prints are a free SVG I found on pinterest. These were both cut using the SIL software..

the birds are from the SIL online store and I took one of the sentiment stamps by Stephanie and stamped around the circle..

The cute little puppies and bowl are from the Create a Critter cartridge by Cricut..

The doggy house and bones are also from the Create A Critter cartridge..

For supplies used:

Silhouette Cameo

Cricut Imagine

Create A Critter cartridge:

dogs, food bowl, bones and dog house

free fonts and svg: paw prints

FLOWER die cut reveal-SOUS

Summer is finally here at the North Pole.. Its been so sunny, warm and absolutely beautiful outside, its been so hard to pry myself away from the back yard patio long enough to get some projects done..LOL

and speaking of projects.. This week for SOUS, our very own Leah chose our die cut challenge and its so summer appropriate, FLOWER..

Create your own die cut flower and let me tell you, there are millions of flowers to choose from.. I decided to create a card for today's reveal and here it is:

 I used some of the papers from Prima's 6x6  Botanical collection.  The card measures 6x4..

Had lots of fun using my Tim Holtz Tattered Florals die and my little green monster, the cuttlebug..

Here are some close ups and some details:

The sentiment is by Fiskars "Friends forever quotes!"..  I used StazOn black ink cause it makes the image so clean..

the tiny maroon flowers are a Fiskars punch and the cream colored flowers are the small flowers from the Tattered Florals die..

As are the big flowers,  I also added some gold liquid pearls, orange distress stickles and a black key to the card..

For Supplies used:

Tim Holtz Tattered Florals die

cuttlebug

Fiskars flower punch

I have only done mixed media project before and its been about a year or so ago.. But, after watching some how to videos, I think I got the hang of it and decided to create a card..

I grabbed some paints, white cardstock, a few stamps and then some stickles..

once I had everything painted, stamped and stickled, I took a fine tip black marker and added some details..

I have some close ups for ya:

Well fellow crafter's, there ya have it.. One of my very first mixed media projects.. I might venture into this again, but not sure its really my thing, but like with trying anything new, the more you keep at it the better they get.. I do need to invest into more stamps..LOL

Sketch reveal SOUS

YIKES!! I'm late posting today.. Yesterday was a holiday here in Finland and I kept thinking today was Monday..LOL  So, I'm going to spare you with lots of text and just get to the good stuff..

Leah designed today's sketch and yes, it was a handful but I had LOADS of fun creating this layout.  I wanted to think outside of the sketch and thought how cute to add a train onto the top of the layout.. 

and with that said, here is my take on Leah's sketch:

The papers are Echo Parks' Bundly of Joy-Boy and the die cuts were all cut using my Cameo..

Hows about a few close ups:

my favorite.. The cute little train..

Here you can see how its all pop dotted off of the page.. love the look!

The three men in my life.. LOL  of how I miss them being so small..

Thought the bottom corner could use a little something something and so added the train tracks with the grass.. 

for supplies used:

Silhouette Cameo

Silhouette design edition

white cardstock

digital kit by : Echo Park

"bundle of joy-boy!"

foam tape

Wow, is that all I really used?   That list just seems way too short..LOL

I'm submitting this to the following challenges:

Penny's Paper: Die cut

Lasting Memories: One Photo

CrazyCatz: Anything Goes

Simply Create Too: Anything Goes

but with those famous last words, I want to thank you for stopping by today and checking out my take on the sketch for SOUS.. Stop by and check out what amazing layouts our design team has created..

I hope everyone has a scraptastic week
