This month I was once again the designer of the sketch for the Single Page Design Team. I love designing sketches almost as much as I love making layouts! Seeing all of the creativity and the beautiful layouts really is such a joy! You can see some of the other talented artists on the Stick it Down Blog here. For my layout I went full on Christmas. This was the first year, in several, that we had taken a family photo. So it seemed fairly obvious that I should scrap and TREASURE such an event! Here is the layout that…

Hip Hip Hooray, I am the featured single page designer this month for Stick it Down! I actually designed the sketch this month and they featured my layout for the design team. Here is the sketch: This is the layout that I created: I absolutely love how fun this layout is! I used the Stampin Up! scallop edge punch and layered the paper strips but felt like it needed a little bit more dimension. So I dug through my dusty and forgotten about ribbon bin and found some fun lace and ruffled fibers and layered them in between the paper…

I am so excited to share my layout this month because I also designed the sketch!!! Here is the sketch I designed and used, you can also find it and the link to post YOUR layout to win prizes on the Stick it Down Blog. As a creature of habit I stuck to the lovey hearts and cute theme of the month. I love that this sketch allows you to use up your supplies like washi or ephemera or scraps of paper that we have laying around without having to dive too deeply into new supplies or needing to buy…

I am this year off with bang so far two weeks in and my planner is up to date and I am already scrappin' events as they happen! WHOA! For my first layout I have been generously allowed to stay a part of the Stick it Down Design team! I am still on the Single Page Layout team, but I also have been desinging a several of their double and single page sketches, YAY! So, for the first layout of 2019 I used the Stick it Down Sketch found here. I kept this layout as simple as I could so…

Happy December! I am here today to share with you my layout from the Stick it Down Single Page Sketch. When I saw the sketch I was puzzled, I wasn't sure how I was going to pull this off. So I looked at the other design team layouts and thought I would follow suit and use a cut file. As I cruised through the Silhouette Store and added about 12 wreath files to my cart it had then occurred to me that a few months back my friend sent me a home decor image of someone who folded papers around…

For this months Single Page Sketch on Stick it Down I decided to really think out side of the usual. As soon as I saw the sketch I was slightly confused by what I was going to do, then I saw a bag of 2018 confetti and "ta da" so here is my take on the sketch you can find here on the Stick it Down blog. For this layout I started with the Simple Stories "Congrats Grad" paper pack, I didn't like the bottom where it said "way to go" (I thought it would be too clashy with the…

For the June Sketch Challenge I decided to break the mold and do an all out "magical" layout. I pulled out all of the tricks in my book here and I really love the end result. I need to get out of my comfort zone more often because pages like this really make my heart happy! I am providing a link to the sketch here for you to play along! For my layout I turned the sketch 90 degrees because the photo I chose was not vertical. Once I make a move like this I tend to muddy the whole…

I want to first explain how I use my planner, (if you don't want to read this story skip down to "So you have your planner, Now what?" I don't do it like most people. In 2012 I jumped on the Project Life bandwagon... by March I had fallen off. In 2013, I started it again with high hopes and good intentions. By late February I was doubled over in morning sickness and that was the end. So comes 2014... yes I got this! I didn't even make it through January! UGH. When the planner craze hit and I went…

Let me start this story by saying I had seen something inspiring on FB which led me to an Instagram account which led me to another IG account which led me to a hashtag and on and on this goes somedays and when all of a sudden *BOOM* I saw this post by @flamingoplanner about a digital planner. Surly not, this is silly, it looked JUST like an Erin Condren this could not be.... say what! Well the rabbit hole went on, all. Night. Long! I was fascinated... I LOVE my planner, I kind of love buying all the supplies…

So Day 2 did not have any mind blowing moments but, since all the excitement had soaked in I was able to be a little bit less "ahhhh" and a little bit more "ooh" or maybe I just added in "ooh amongst the draw dropping! You know like a pro! Although I won't lie it began to feel a little sad, as I wandered back through places I realized I was both in heaven and hell. I was in the biggest scrapbook store IN THE WORLD and my burning itching money was worthless! I could look and touch but I…
