Discover layout w/ MS&M and LMT

 Hey! It's sketchy Friday!!!
Today's sketch from My Scraps & More is awesome!
And it was totally screaming for Love My Tapes, so I put them both to work.

 And my layout:

I pulled out a white piece of cardstock, grabbed my tapes and got busy.

I followed the sketch with the Brick Tape, but I used 2 layers side by side to make it wider. Then I added the Colorful Bold Dots tape. After getting those on I decided to go off the sketch a bit and added my third strip out on it's own.

I took the Sky or Clouds w/ Love tape and laid it out on my cutting mat. Then I used a ruler and my cutting knife to slice it the long way. I took the thin strips and added them in each square of my layout. I did beveled corners because I like the way they look. 

I added faux stitching along the side of the Clouds tape to keep the fun look it gave the sketch.

To finish up, add some fun embellishments, a bit of blue splatters, enamel dots and cute stickers.

You can check out what the rest of the dt did with this sketch on the My Scraps & More sketch blog and then join in the fun for your chance at the awesome prize!

Gooey w/ LMT

 Hello!
I feel summer coming to a close and I'm not quite ready.
I've not done enough "summer" things yet, like camping!

But I do have this fun page I made of my little guy enjoying a s'more on a camping trip we took a couple summers ago.

It's super easy and fun to replace pp or design elements on your page with tapes.

Here I've used Mint w/ Love from Love My Tapes as a patterned paper element. I thought it would be great to represent how much my son enjoyed his s'mores. I've also used it along the top as a design element to highlight the title of my page.

Then I used the skull tape to add a bit of rough and tumble to my layout w/o overwhelming it.
I used a gooey drip punch along the bottom border of my journaling paper. It was sold at Halloween, but it's perfect for gooey messes!
 

Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!

Summer Kisses w/ Love My Tapes

 Hey! I'm super excited to share this layout with you today.

I totally love the way it turned out!!

This little guy of mine has totally stole my heart. I love that he's always watching for me and doing little things to get my attention. 

I used 2 different tapes from Love My Tapes on this layout.

I used the Circle tape around my main portion of photos as an extra layer of "patterned paper."

You can see in this photo where I cut the edges of the tape at each corner to make them lay smooth against each other. Then I added the Heart tape above that layer. The Doodled Hearts were perfect for this layout, adding just the right touch of whimsy and feeling w/o overwhelming the summer feel I have going on.

These papers from Bo Bunny were really fun to work with and I've added some cool Freckled Fawn enamel stars and dots.
 

I loved these photos so much I put them on a contrasting mat color and then popped them off my page with foam adhesive. I followed this sketch from ACOT.

Have a great day!

Friend Gift w/ Love My Tapes and Kreaxions

 Hello!  

Today I want to share with you a cute gift I made for an amazing friend.

I took this fun milk bottle and filled it with Reese's Pieces. 

I thought the little quote would be perfect because I really feel like my friend is helping me keep it all together lately. Good thing for good friends right?

I started with the polka dot background pattern and added the fun Red Hearts tape to the top and bottom. Then I used the awesome Tape Runner to keep it tight around the bottle. 

Then I decorated the front and added a bit of Chevron tape to either side of my title.

Last I added a bit of the heart tape to my tag, to help it blend with the gift and punched the top with a Kreaxions punch.

Thanks for stopping by!

Big Sister w/ Kreaxions

 Today is the June reveal for Just Imagine Crafts/ Kreaxions.

The theme? Fun & Bright!

I think I got that with this layout:

I started with the idea to make my banner pieces using the fun punches. I'm using #909 & #912, they just feel really summery to me.

I even added a few stickers and embellishments to enhance them even more.

 

I was having a hard time getting this photo to fit on the page nicely so I ended up "hanging" it in the sky on the banner. Perfect! I continued the use of the punches by using them on some of my photos also.

I used Punch 909 to make these layered borders and keep the feel of the page from top to bottom.

Thanks for stopping by!

Summer layout

 I have the cutest layout to share with you today!
I just love everything about this layout!!

I wanted to use these fun bright papers from Bo Bunny, so I picked these cute, goofy photos of my son in his swimsuit and some bold and bright washi tapes from Love My Tapes and went to work.

I love making arrows with chevron tape. Here I've clustered a few fun embellies I picked up at the last Let's Create Expo in Sandy, Utah.

For my bold corners I layered the Red, Yellow, Green tape with every other layer going the opposite direction and then just lined them up to make a wave look. I also layered a couple rows of Skull tape to put part of my title on.

To help my title really pop I used this fun bold orange tape and then made pleats with it. You just fold it back on itself as you go across the page. I also followed this sketch I found by Laura Whitaker on Stuck?! sketches site.

Sk8r Boi w/ MS&M

 It's sketchy Friday!

Today I'm working with this fun sketch from My Scraps & More:

And here's my take on it:

This sketch is super fun and easy to use!

I started with a pattern for my base page and added misted designs here and there.

 

Then I used some cool washi tape from Love My Tapes to layout out the grid design.

 

Then you just have fun embellishing.

You can join in the fun and have a chance at a cool prize by entering the challenge at the My Scraps & More sketches blog. Check it out here.

Happy Birthday card w/ LMT

 Here's a fun and quick birthday card.

I started with a white base and added a layer and a half of Red & Blue triangles tape from Love My Tapes to the top by layering it over itself. It makes me think of a fun banner.

I followed that up with a cute Happy Birthday tape.

Then I layered the Blue Stars tape, traced a large star onto it and used an exacto knife to gently cut through the tape. Peel the extra tape up and you have your star.

 

To finish it off I used Moxxie's red alpha for the 12 and cut some stars from the blue tape and a similar yellow tape to add as embellishment, along with a bit of doodling and inking.

Thanks for stopping by!

Grad cards w/ Moxxie & LMT

 Hello there! Today I have some fun Graduation cards.

It tis the season after all!

I started with an older Graduation Day line from Moxxie, that I still have in my stash. What better way to spruce up an old line than to add NEW tapes right?!

I layered the Yellow and Blue Stars tapes on this card. 

They perfectly match our school colors!

For this card I picked 3 patterns from the yellows to match our school colors, then layered them on the base of my card before adding the embellishments.

Using the polka-dot, stripe and star tapes, I layered a strip and then cut each end into a banner for a little subtle detail.

I'm off to make some more graduation cards and using Love My Tapes makes it so easy!!

It's Your Day card w/ LMT & Moxxie

 Hi! Happy Wednesday to you.
I have a fun card here that you could use for almost any occasion.
This one is geared toward mother's but replace that flower and you've got a great all occasion card.

I started with a white base and pulled out these lovely colors of polka dot tapes from Love My Tapes.

I used the blue polka dot first and made some layers along the  bottom of my card. I then double layered some pretty patterns from the Springtime line from Moxxie and then used an older stamp for my sentiment.

Then I used a strip of the purple and lime along with another strip of the blue to make some banners in the top right corner. Then you have a wonderful, bright and fun base to build the rest of your card on! Last I added this fun stamp that I fussy cut after stamping on some pretty Springtime paper and a bit of stickles to make my card pop.

Thanks for stopping by.

Softball Treats w/ Love my Tapes.

 Hello!

I have a fun Team Treat project to share with you today.

My daughter's softball season is in full swing and I like to help encourage them with little treats here and there. They were headed to take on a particularly tough team recently and I thought I would encourage them with this fun treat.

I cut the bats with my silhouette, added a bit of inking and the quote. Then taped the handle, just like a real bat, with Blue Stars washi tape from Love My Tapes!

I used the Tape Runner I received from the store because I'm always having trouble with the decorations popping off the treats with my normal glue.

I can't believe how well it worked!

My daughter took these on a 2 hour bus ride and when she gave me the extras the next day, the bat and ball were still stuck solidly to the bag!!

I can honestly say my last glue did not do that.

Here's a close up of the project for you:

Thanks so much for stopping by today.

All About that Sass! w/ LMT

Today I'm havin' some fun with Love My Tapes!

My younger daughter is not really all that sassy but she really can turn it on for a dance competition.

I picked some fun black and red tapes from Love My Tapes to go with her outfit and then added stars because I think she's a star. I also added a lot of red ink to my base page.

I layered the tapes onto my layout alternating colors and patterns. It makes a great base for my title using Moxxie's white alpha. I outlined it with a black pen to help it pop more.

Then I added some pattern papers and used the star tape for a photo mat and added some of the black chevron for embellishment.

Last I added tapes at the top along with some pattern paper banners and fun embellies.

Super simple and fun!

Crazy 4 U! card w/ Love My Tapes

Ok so I am pretty much addicted to washi tape!
After making the Love My Tapes dt, I decided I want needed a few more to work with, so

I went and ordered myself a "few" more.

Yep, these stacks make me happy :)

And I got right to work on this fun card.

 

My husband and I just had our 17th anniversary, so I made this for him.

I started with a white cs base and then added this funky chevron tape. In the store it's called red, yellow, green masking tape. I layered the strips on a diagonal.

Next I added two strips of the Heart tape and my sentiment with Moxxie's black alpha.

My card needed just a little bit more so I cut a heart out of a scrap of paper and added the cute Lime with White polka dots tape. Then popped it up with some foam adhesive and added a few heart embellies.

Thanks for coming by today,

:)Ange
