Adorable -Creative Scrappers Sketch 260

This is a layout I did for Creative Scrappers Sketch 269. I dug deep into my stash and came out with this gorgeous paper from Basic Grey called Oliver. 
My adorable grandson Jaxon who is growing like a weed! This paper was perfect! Sometime I forget what I actually have in my stash and want to kick myself in the butt for having all these gorgeous lines buried under all the new stuff I keep getting!
This was the sketch

I cut out the title with my Silhouette and added a little heart cause this little boy holds it in his tiny fists.
I love all the adorable graphics in this line. I used a rubon in one of the squares and moudling paste in another to mix it up a bit I added some Prima gold mist to the stars to color them in.
Last close-up showing one of the brads from this line as well as the page tabs. I really do need to start going through all my stuff and dig out these treasures! That's it for today thanks for coming by! All the best :)

Beauty Swirlydoos Bohemian Sketch Challenge

This is my entry for the Swirlydoos sketch challenge. My oldest daughter Ashley who is now thirty taken when she was in grade eight. Glamour Shots! And
this was the sketch
The title speaks for itself. The papers are from Swirlydoos' gorgeous May kit featuring Kaisercraft's Bohemian papers line! I used the reds this time! What a gorgeous line!
I used a red flower for one of the circles on the sketch and then did a little dimensional work by adding circles on top of circles. Thought the black might help to break up the red on the page.
I needed a flower spray and didn't have one that matched so I made one myself! Below is a flower spray I made with leftovers from previous kits and some frog tape.
Well that's it for me I am bagged (worked all weekend, had visitors and a birthday party for my future son-in-law!) Rest time :) Just kidding off to scrap! Have a great day! All the best! :)

Love You-My Creative Sketches

 This is my layout for this months challenge at My Creative Sketches.
 And this is the sketch
I love this paper line from Kaisercraft called Kaleidoscope the colors are amazing!
 I used one of the stickers as my title which says it all!
I tired to do something funky with the stars. I cut them out with my silhourtte and then added teal sparkles to make them stand out more. This was a pain in the butt I had to use spray adhesive to keep them from falling off lol! Well that's it for today so much to do and so little time. Have a great weekend! :)
