Thursday Thoughts

It's been a while since I've felt like scrapbooking but when my grandson said this: 

"we need another carriage so the people can social distance at one metre." 

 I knew it had to be recorded for posterity. At no other time in history have those words been in a five year old's play vocabulary!

I used the sketch from Sketches in Thyme as my starting point.

Here's my page:

Just about all of the supplies for this page are from Cocoa's Vanilla's Legendary pack. I just added in some plain blue card scraps, a Polkadoodles tag and some Hobbycraft alphas.

The other story I wanted to include on this page was the way even when you think you're too old for a toy and give it up to a younger cousin, there's still enormous pleasure from revisiting it at granny's house.

Supplies:

Papers, ephemera, enamel dots - Cocoa Vanilla, Legendary

Alphas: Hobbycraft, chipboard

Die: Polkadoodles, Posydoodles Tags

It's been great to have you stop by my blog today, thanks so much.

Stay safe and keep crafting!

Hi everyone!

I've been so busy creating cards for Funky Fossil's May Release that my scrapbooking has got a bit neglected. Putting that to right today with this page for the challenge at Sketches in Thyme.

Here it is. How did you get to be two already?

I picked up on the colours from his clothes and tricycle and collected together some scraps and adhered them to a blue 12" x 12" sheet. I matted the photos onto dark blue to give them more definition and then got busy adding the words and embellishments.

I used a lot of elements from Doodlebug's Dragon Tails and also die cut a spiro circle and labels.

I nearly forgot to add the 2 but found a spot for it at the top of the page and then finished it all of with some splatters of white ink going diagonally down the page.

Supplies:
Papers: Doodlebug, Dragon's Tails; Lilybee Designs, Pinwheel; scraps from my stash
Dies: Lawn Fawn die, Louie's 123s; Xcut, spiro circles; labels die I think is Marianne
Stickers: Doodlebug, Dragon's Tails; Elle's Studio, puffy hearts; Paperchase, puffy stars

Huge thanks for looking today, I've really enjoyed having your company.

Keep safe, stay home and craft instead!

Thursday Thoughts

Today I'm sharing a scrapbook page I created using the sketch from Sketches in Thyme.

Here's my page:

I chose a dark blue background paper to pick up on the colour of her dress and then used the oranges and greens from the photo as the accent colours.

This bottom corner stack was built up from an initial single die cut circle and placement of the title. I had fun adding and extending it all down.

The top two embellishment stacks are mini versions of the bottom one,

Supplies:
Papers: Graphic 45, Floral Shoppe; Shimelle, Box of Crayons; scraps from my stash
Dies: Xcut, Spiro circles; Lawn Fawn stitched hearts
Alphas: Simple Stories, Bloom & Grow, You Are Here
Stickers: Simple Stories, Vintage Botanicals; Echo Park, Bundle of Joy; Cocoa Vanilla, Happness, Wild at Heart; Elle's Studio, puffy hearts; Paperchase, puffy hearts; MME, enamel dots 

Thanks so much for looking, I really appreciate you taking the time.

And keep crafting!
