featuring PinkFresh Studio wood veneer

I have one last layout to share that I created for Scrapbook Circle while I guest designed for them this month. The kit included lots of the Crate Paper Open Road collection so it was perfect for this layout about an impromptu road trip we too earlier this month. The challenge was to show off the little wood veneer triangles from PinkFresh Studio.

This is what I made:

I ended up using both sides of the veneer, as you can see here: 

and here: 

I apologize for not being so chatty today. 

I have a horrible migraine and it is causing me to feel nauseated. 

Prayers and good thoughts would be much appreciated. 

Have a nice day!

playing with words

For one of my guest designer layouts for Scrapbook Circle they asked me to focus on typography and this is what I came up with:

This was one of my favorite papers from their July kit, and I thought it would be fun to cut out some of the triangles to add bits of patterned paper that featured print. I cut out some, cut only a couple of sides on others so that I could make a flap. I also added bits of journaling here and there and lots of other phrase-ology via embellishments in the kit from the Crate Open Road collection. 

Here are a couple of closer looks at my page. The "dream" was cut out using the silver cardstock in the kit and my Silhouette Cameo. 

If you'd like to play along with their challenge and have a chance at winning a pretty cool Crate Paper Open Road prize create a layout that features typography. Then post it on your blog, on the Scrapbook Circle Facebook page or an online gallery. Leave a comment on this post on the SC blog with a link to your project for your chance to win. 

July sketch challenge at Scrapbook Circle

Today I have another layout up at the Scrapbook Circle.

The July sketch challenge was posted and you can see it here.

Here is the sketch:

And here is my take using some pictures from the 4th of July:

guest designing for Scrapbook Circle

Good morning!

I hope that you had a great 4th of July.

We decided to take a last-minute trip out of town since Matt had a day off of work and Sarah didn't have gymnastics team practice. We had lots of fun swimming at the hotel, having pizza delivered too late at night, going to the zoo, to Braum's and then driving around Palo Duro Canyon State Park. It was fun despite the late nights, not very much sleep and thus grumpy kids, and despite losing part of the bottom of the car as we hit a bump going through a water crossing in the canyon.

Last night we were able to watch fireworks with some friends, had snow cones and popcorn and kids got to jump on the trampoline and play and see an amazing neighborhood display. Again we got to bed too late but it was so much fun. We have today to recover from it all before heading back into the regular routine ☺

I was surprised to receive an invitation to guest design for Scrapbook Circle for July and have been having fun creating some layouts for them, the first of which was shared yesterday on their blog.

I will have another project to share soon. 

Have a great weekend!
