#Freedom

Today's scrapbook layout was inspired by @crafty_concepts_with_erin.  I was watching one of her YouTube videos where she was sharing her layouts and she created a layout using nothing but pocket page cards.  I have a ton of these cards in my stash that I never use, so this was the perfect layout to scraplift.  Check out her video that I linked in the supplies below to see her original layout.


I started out by searching for papers to match the Project Life Sparkle pocket cards.  I found the green and white polka dot paper and the dark blue paper from the Echo Park It's a Celebration paper pad. I used the green and white polka dot paper as my background paper and cut a strip of the dark blue paper to place down the center of my layout.

I staggered a combination of 3x4 and 4x6 pocket cards down the left side of the layout.  I matte my photo in white cardstock and layered two 4x6 cards behind the photo.  I used a 3x4 card underneath the photo and added a small amount of journaling to the card.


I used the camera, heart, and hashtag chipboard pieces from the Sparkle collection.  I wanted to add some additional glitter elements to the page so I grabbed my Recollections A2 glitter card set and found a pink and gold card that matched the Sparkle collection.  For the title, I cut "FREEDOM" from the pink glitter card using alpha dies.  I also used a smaller alpha die set to cut out "#LICENSED" from the dark blue paper.  I layered this on white cardstock and cut it into a banner shape.  This was placed below the heart on the left side of the layout.


I used my favorite heart die to cut out multiple sets of hearts from the pink and gold A2 glitter cards.  I glued a pink heart to the chipboard camera and scattered the rest throughout the layout.

This layout came together quickly and I was excited to have finally used a Project Life collection that has been sitting in my stash for years.  This layout included 9 cards from the collection plus I was able to use two A2-sized glitter cards to die cut the title and hearts.

Lost in the Inky Darkness

Today's card features a few of the new Tim Holtz Sizzix and Ranger Halloween products.  I could not wait to use the Tim Holtz Skulls 3-D Texture Fades embossing folder and combine it with Distress inks and spray stains. I started by inking the flat side of the embossing folder with Black Soot Distress Archival Ink.  I sprayed a panel of water color paper with water and carefully placed this paper into the embossing folder. I ran the embossing folder through my Sizzix Big Shot 3 times. I took the embossed panel out of the embossing folder and cleaned the embossing folder with StazOn All-Purpose Stamp Cleaner. Next, I sprayed the panel with Tim Holtz Decayed Distress Mica Stain.  This gave it a green tinge with a hint of sparkle.  I decided to seal the card panel by dipping a foam blending pad into Distress Micro Glaze and dabbing this onto the card panel.  I glued a black cardstock matte behind the embossed panel and adhered it to a white card base. For the sentiment, I used the &qu

Tim Holtz Spencer Halloween Card

I can't get enough of Tim Holtz's Colorize Spencer die set.  The detail and dimension of this image is absolutely amazing.  Today's card features Spencer, 3-D embossing folders, and a few other Tim Holtz Halloween dies sets. The main card panel was made by embossing a piece of silver foil cardstock using the Sizzix 3-D Textured Impressions Pinwheel embossing folder.  I watered down a few drops of black acrylic paint and used a paint brush to brush the paint onto the embossed panel.  I let the paint dry for about a minute and then took a paper towel to rub off the excess paint.  I adhered this panel to a black card base. The smaller card panel was made by embossing a piece of black cardstock with the Tim Holtz Sizzix 3-D Texture Fades Mini Cobblestone embossing folder.  I added a few drops of Sterling Distress Foundry Wax to a craft mat and used my finger to apply the Foundry Wax to the embossed panel.  I added a black matte behind this embossed panel and adhered it at an an

First Day of School

Today's layout was inspired by @christys_beautiful_life 30 Days of Sketches Round 8, Day 3.  I decided to focus the layout on a photo of this year's first day of school. The layout has several sketched circles.  I decided to break out the sewing machine and sew a few black circles using a variety of stitches.   The Scraptember challenge combined with this sketch was layering. So I grabbed the Simple Stories Smarty Pants collection and layered up a bunch of the branding strips and the patterned papers found on the journaling cards. I used the letter stickers from the collection to create the title.  I also used some of the stickers to embellish the title and photo, and also to create an embellishment cluster in the upper right corner of the layout.  To finish off the layout, I splattered it with black ink. I love the 30 Days of Sketches because it is a great way to use up older collections and challenges me to utilize techniques that I don't often use in my layouts. First Da
