just like Brother w/ Kreaxions

 Hello! It's DT Reveal day over at Just Imagine/Kreaxions punches!

The theme for today is Sparkle!!

This will be the last Kreaxions reveal you see from me as I'm stepping down from the dt, but wish my fellow dt members all good things in the future.

This layout is about my 2 sons and how the younger one just really idolizes his older brother. There is a 6 year gap between them and it often creates tension between them. So it's nice to see them playing and getting along together.

I chose the beautiful Season's Greetings line from Moxxie for this page.

 

I did a lot of layering so I could use the beautiful #312 Snowflake punch a lot and in different ways.

For the darker green layer I used the punch w/o any inserts to get the deep punch with both snowflakes and pretty corner punch. Then I used the punch with the A insert for the cream paper and the punched out snowflakes as embellishment. Going with our theme of sparkle, I've added lots of stickles and pearls for snowflake centers.

 

I did the same deep punch with the lighter green layer here as I used with the darker green layer but I lined the corner punch outs up so that the bottom piece fell away after going across the paper. I also use the punch on the corners of my photo w/ the C insert.

 

For this corner piece and under my photos I've created large snowflakes or doilies by punching circles with the punch.

Then I filled in the snowflakes with more stickles for a fun and sparkly layout.

Check out what the rest of the DT has done on the Kreaxions blog.

I hope you all have a fabulous New Year ahead!

Fall Ball is in the Air

Hello!

I have a fun Fall layout out for you today:

 

I've used Moxxie's Fall Harvest line along with the fun 918 punch from Just Imagine Kreaxions.

I added another banner with the word "Ball" to make my title.

 

Lots of banners peeking out from beneath my photo make for some added interest.

I also used the pretty 918 punch along the edge of my photo. It's a great way to add a bit of embellishment w/o taking away from the photo at all.

You can see more fun examples from the Just Imagine/Kreaxions team here.

To eat or not to Eat... w/ Sketches in Thyme

 Hey! Today is my first reveal day with Sketches In Thyme

and I am super excited to show you the fun sketch I got to use and the fabulous layout I made using it.

Here's the great sketch by Brenda Ragsdale:

 

Super fun and easy to use design!

Here's my layout:

 My little guy is always so fun and entertaining! He's always being clever and bringing a smile to everyone's face. You know the kids are going to snack a little while decorating their gingerbread house, who wouldn't right? But his bright pink lips just cracked me up! I'm not even sure what he had that was such a bright pink.

I started off with a kraft base which I figured was perfect for the gingerbread layout, but the background was a tad plain so I used my white dylusions to drip "snow" splatters on the layout to go with the winter/xmas feel of the layout.

I used the awesome new Season's Greetings line from Moxxie and just had a ball picking the different patterns to go on my background.

As I was looking at my photos the title came to me: to eat or not to eat and I just started laughing, thinking what a silly question that would be for a kid with candy in front of them. Thus, my title was born and I love it! I used Moxxie's cool red alpha and some super old rub-ons (go me!).

I finished up my layout with some brown inking, cute Moxxie stickers and these fun brad embellishments I've had forever but never had the "right" layout to put them on.

All Star Player w/ MS&M

 Hello!

Today is sketchy Friday!!

I am a HUGE sketch fan. They make the scrapping process so fun and easy. 

Today I'm using this sketch from My Scraps & More Sketches:

Here is my take on this fun sketch:

 

I can't tell you how much fun it is to watch this girl play!

Over the years she has evolved it to one heck of a good player. She really loves the game and has so much fun on the court. Her happiness makes me smile.

 As you can see I rearranged the sketch a bit to go with my photos, which then changed where I put the title. But you can definitely see the sketch still.

I splashed a bit of blue and yellow dylusions on my white background to get started. Then used Moxxie's Volleyball line and black alphas.

I finished up with a blue and yellow hand drawn marker border. It just didn't feel finished w/o it.

You can see what the rest of the dt did with this sketch on the MS&M blog here.

Leaf Pile w/ Kreaxions

 Hello!

Today is the Just Imagine/Kreaxions design team monthly reveal with the theme of Back to School or Fall.

I chose to go with Fall for my layout:

 

I started with a dark brown base and added this lovely Fall orange border paper from Moxxie's new Fall Harvest line and punched it with punch #307. I love the way the dark brown comes through the punched design.

In the photo above you can see how lovely the colors are together. I also used a strip of green punched border to go under my photos.

Here's a few more closeups of my layout.

You can see what the rest of the Kreaxions team did with their punches on the Just Imagine/Kreaxions blog.

Sketch - Stick it Down

Cards w/ Kreaxions

Hello!

I hope you're having a great week.

Today I wanted to share a few cards I've created lately using the fun Kreaxions punches:

First up U R Awesome!

I used the Kreaxions Star Stencil Octagon to make this cool card.

I started with a fun base for my card and then held the stencil over the pp and cut around the stencil to make the star shape.

From there it was really easy to punch around each corner with punch #909 Polar Sun. I love how easy it was and it looks so awesome!

Next up - Happy Birthday
 

For this card I used Moxxie's All Star Baseball line along with the circle cutter to create the design in the middle.

I used punch #909 for the circle also and the negative from the punch along the top border.

Then along the bottom I used punch #311.

Last, but definitely not least, is this gorgeous card:

I started with my base and used punch 311 along the bottom of the front flap using the flat edged insert A. Then I used my gelatos to add some fun color.

I made the center decoration using the Star stencil. Then I finished up with a sticker sentiment and a bit of liquid pearls.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Pyro w/ Moxxie & Kreaxions

 You won't believe I used a Baseball line to make this cool 4th of July page:

 

Until I tell you that it's Moxxie All Star Baseball line!

Moxxie is awesome and designing lines that have very versatile B sides.

Here's the line for you to see:

I started off with the backside of the cutouts page and added some fun white and red misting.

Then I used my Kreaxions punches and stencils to make this fun embellishment using the backs of all 3 papers in the line.

 

I used some older but still totally awesome! 4th of July rub-ons from Moxxie and I-rock embellishments to add some more decoration.

The strips and star strips are the backs of the barcodes strips from the papers.
Last I added my title using the white Moxxie alphas.

I hope you enjoyed your 4th of July weekend!
We sure did!

Thanks for stopping by.

Fireworks w/ MS&M & Moxxie

 I have a super fun sketch to share with you today!

Don't you just LOVE this sketch? Me too!

And here is the page I created using it:

I started with a Heidi Swapp stencil & some dylusions to make my red and blue bursts. Then I added some pp strips from the All Star Baseball line by Moxxie.

Then I used some fun rub-ons from Moxxie to add cute embellishment and my title.

I created this cool embellishment by using the star stencil by Just Imagine Crafts and their #912 Punch. 

I finished up by using the cutouts from the punching and some red liquid pearls for more embellishing.

Check out what the rest of the dt did with this fun sketch on the My Scraps & More sketches site.

It's All about that BASE w/ Moxxie

We're in the middle of softball and baseball seasons, so here is a fun little treat you can make to encourage your team.

I used the awesome Fast Pitch line from Moxxie. Specifically the back side of the cutouts page. From the moment I saw that stitch print I knew I wanted to use it to do something fun like this.

So I used it as the base and worked up the rest of my quote and elements between my computer and my silhouette. I love Megan Trainor's song It's all about the Bass, but being a softball player, the first thing that comes to mind for me is BASE! lol 

So I used my computer and some yellow doodlebug cardstock to create the top portion, then designed my own home plate on my silhouette and cut it from some plain white cardstock and then, slightly larger, from some black cardstock.

I ran the white plates through my printer to add the rest of the quote and then added ink and some fussy cut softballs from the front side of the cutouts page. I made 15 of them and added little Baby Ruth candy bars to them.

And here's a photo of my girl doing what she loves!

Thanks for stopping by!
Hope you're enjoying your summer season.

#1 Coach w/ Moxxie & Kreaxions

 Hi!
It's a busy time of year for coaches and I have fun little card to say thanks for all that hard work.

I started with a patterned paper base from the Moxxie Fast Pitch line and using the extra pieces I punched my top border with Punch #311 by Kreaxions from the B-side of the paper.

The piece I used here is the part you might throw away, but I thought it was perfect for this fun sports card. 

I finished decorating with my sentiment and some Moxxie rub-on bats.

Thanks for stopping by today!

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!
