I Love The Way You Love Me

I had a wonderful weekend scrapping with my friends. Our Summer Crop was this past Friday and Saturday at my house. Great food, awesome convo, great time with friends. I managed to do 4 layouts and get started on another one. So each day this week, I’ll share with you one of the layouts.

The first one I did was for ACOT’s Music Challenge. Barb wanted us to select a song that makes us emotional. It could be happiness, sadness, excitement, etc. Since I’m still working on my New Home Owner Pictures, I chose the song “I Love The Way You Love Me” by John Michael Montgomery. Its my husband’s fave song and when it comes on the radio, he turns it up and will sing it to me.

I Love the way you love me

I used mostly Teresa Collections “Nine & Co.” (pattern papers, stickers, brads), with cardstock/flowers from Recollections and bling from Zva Creative.

The layout is based on Sketches in Thyme Sketch #153. And its by one of my fave designers Shawn Lahr! 🙂

Happy Birthday….using NAS #358

Nuts About Sketches Sketch #358 is bitter sweet for me, as its the last sketch for my DT term.

With that said, its also a great sketch for using up those scraps! After this layout, I am down to 3 very small scraps of paper with about 1/3 of the sticker sheet from Carta Bella’s “Its a Celebration” collection.

358 - Due 2-22-15

358 - Brandy

I stuck to the sketch pretty well, with using mist in place of journaling, and some large stickers for the title and larger circles.

My brads are a mix of Basic Grey and WRMKs, and the washi tape is Bella Blvd.

I have truly enjoyed being on Nuts About Sketch‘s DT for not one, but TWO consective terms. Thank you Shawn. For all the fabulous sketches I got to work with.

TFL! 🙂

Moments using NAS #356

Nuts About Sketches newest layout is a two pager, and I used both sides this time to help me scrap one of my dearest friends’ 30th Surprise Birthday Party!

356 - Due 2-8-15

356 - Brandy

As you can see, I stuck with the sketch pretty well, including the 7X5 photo on the 1st page with the banner; but instead of 3 smaller photos on top right side – I just used 4 6X4’s.

DSCN5708

I fussy cut the banner by using a sticker banner from Carta Bella, putting it on the orange side of Echo Park sticker paper, and then fussy cutting it and flipping it over so I can use the lighter blue side of the banner, to better suit my needs. Alphas are Echo Park too, with brads from WRMKs.

DSCN5707

Tag is from my stash, and the cute arrow with the brad is also by Echo Park. Washi is Bella Blvd:

The Echo Park collection I used is “That’s My Boy” – leftovers from my step son’s album. But the sticker at the bottom – “Clearly up to No Good” just says it all! The orange chevron brad with the 2 smaller yellow ones are also Echo Park; with the veneer stars by Studio Calico.

Just Grillin’ and Nuts About Sketches #315

I really loved working with the new sketch by Shawn over at Nust About Sketches. It has so many possibilities for the scrapper to make it their own.

Here is my layout, featuring photos of my hubby standing proudly and ultimately making his first meal using a new gas grill he had gotten for Christmas.

315 - Brandy

And here is the awesome sketch:

Due 4-28-14

As you can see, I didn’t use one large photo, but instead, used 4 4X6, and staggering them a bit to make it more appealing.

My papers are by Simple Stories, brads and SewEasy by WRMKs and the stickers are from my stash.

TFL! 🙂

My first reveal!

Good afternoon everyone! Today I have my FIRST reveal on The Nuts About Sketches Blog!

And its based on this amazing sketch by Shawn (Sketch 307):

307 - Due Mar 2

I loved the “torn” banners for journaling and used one large photo instead of the two smaller ones. This is one sketch that I’ll definetly use again!

Here is a close up of the journaling:
