One more challenge for Paper Issues before July ends! This is for the Freedom of Peach challenge. I rarely use the color peach, but it is in this Celebrate collection from PinkFresh + Altenew. I found the invitation from my bridal shower from 2018 and I wanted to get it scrapbooked. It can be hard to put large ephemera on a scrapbook page, but I think it worked here.

Thanks for looking!

Today I have a layout inspired by the July 17 sketch at Lasting Memories. It's a two photo sketch, but I used one horizontal photo instead. I was looking through my Instagram and I realize I've been primarily scrapbooking one photo layouts lately but I have no photos to scrap. We haven't done anything all year because of Covid! I need some family gatherings and some birthday parties and some trips!

This photo is my bestie's engagement photo. We've been planning their wedding for next July.

Everything on my page is from the Celebrate collection from PinkFresh + Altenew, with the exception of some Scrappin Happy Studio flair. Thanks for looking!

Hi! Today I'm sharing a layout using two chipboard pieces from Denise Boddey Designs.  I have a process video HERE.

I chose the deco large corner chipboard accent for a fun detail on my page. I first painted my chipboard with some white gesso mixed with white acrylic paint. After it dried, I painted the pieces with two Shimmerz colors. I love the pink accent it added to my page and all of the pretty shimmer.

My title is from THIS chipboard set.Thanks for looking!

Shimmerz Paint: Blingz Gold n Roses and Shimmerz Pink-o de Mayo
patterned paper, stickers: Simple Stories (Love & Adore)

I couldn't wait to play with my new Let's Stay Home collection from PinkFresh Studio.

I found these great photos of the first home I ever lived in. My mom had written on the back of them and I wanted to use that on my layouts. So I took a photo of her handwriting, printed it out, and adhered it to my page like journaling.

I did some mixed media with Spiced Marmalade and Pine Needles. Thanks for looking!

Hello! Today I made a page for a July challenge at Paper Issues - streaks and stripes. I used Shimmerz Aqua Huez in red hot to make my streaks. I did not plan these out. Just grabbed my paintbrush and went with it.

The cut file is free at Paper Issues. I just kept it on my cutting mat and added some distress inks. I didn't even use gesso. Super simple! Then I added some Firecrackers sequins and used up my last star rhinestones by Jenni Bowlin (circa 2012).

 Thanks for looking!

I love you yesterday, today & FURever.

This page was inspired by a challenge at The Studio Challenges this month to do your layout on an angle or a slant. So I applied my mixed media diagonally across the page. I cut the cloud paper at a slant and then I angled my photo mat patterned paper.

This is all from the Cooper collection from Bella Blvd. I love this collection!

This page was just for fun! I wanted to play with some of the PinkFresh + Altenew collaboration, Celebrate. I used a Paige Evans cut file and made my cupcake into a shaker. I actually finished up my pack of Cotton Candy Land sequins!

I did a little bit of mixed media on this page. First I used clear gesso and then I added picked raspberry distress ink. I fussy cut the florals from one of the patterned papers from the Celebrate collection. I hate fussy cutting, but I actually love how this turned out.

As a final touch I added some epoxy flair from Scrappin Happy Studio! Thanks for looking:)

fabulous.

I made this page for the Scrap the Girls challenge this month. It just so happens that the colors on the mood board are the colors of distress oxide inks that I have! I used broken china, twisted citron, squeezed lemonade, and worn lipstick on this page.

 This page was made with the new Celebrate collection from PinkFresh & Altenew. There was only one small embellishment package with this collection so I dug into my PinkFresh stash for some more embellishing:)

 Thanks for looking!

Hello friends! Today we're sharing our July challenge at Challenge YOUrself!

This month we're doing a sketch challenge! Here is my page:

I've shared a process video HERE. I had a bit of trouble putting this page together.

I used texture paste on my chipboard piece and then colored it with distress inks.

 Thanks for looking!

I made this page last night for the July moodboard challenge at Scrap the Boys. This photo is from my brother's wedding last September. His groomsmen are in the background.

I used the new PinkFresh + Altenew collection. I added white gesso to my background. Then did some mixed media with distress inks in Broken China and Chipped Sapphire.
