MEFY Reveal - Up in the clouds!

Hello my friends!

Happy Monday

Welcome to this week's Made Especially For You designer reveal!

The challenge this week is sponsored by Meljen's Designs ... and we have been challenged to create a shaped card! (ie: not a square or a rectangle :)

 

I created a shaped card for a recent ScrapMuch? card class ... so I thought this would be the perfect time to share it with you!

 

 

I love the simplicity of this card ... I will admit that it took me a bunch of times before I was able to stamp the sentiment cleanly ... but eventually I did it! 

 

I love the cute banner and the sweet little die cut airplane!

ScrapMuch? Notebook Class - Part 3 of 3

Hello there!

 

Today I am sharing the final pages of the notebook that I designed for the ScrapMuch? class that was held during their recent and completely incredible fall retreat!

I created lots of dividers to add organization and colour ... this is a lovely transparent divider ... the flowers are actually "fuzzy" ... I love it!

And another pocket page ... perfect storage spot!

And the inside of the back cover ... I love this colour!

And the back cover.  This was kept simple ... as the cover has dimension, it is important that the back is nice and flat so that it is easy to write throughout! 

Thanks for checking in!

ScrapMuch? Notebook Class - Part 2 of 3

Hello All!

Today I am sharing some more of the notebook that I designed for the ScrapMuch? class that was held during their recent and amazing fall retreat!

I created a lot of simple tabbed dividers ... with lots of space for people to add their own fun photos!

I kept a common theme throughout by using lots of pennants/banners ... they are easy to create and I love how they look!

This page has a pocket sewn in ... the perfect addition to any notebook!

Thanks for checking in!

Check in tomorrow to see the rest of the notebook!

ScrapMuch? Notebook Class - Part 1 of 3

Hello All!

 

Today I am sharing the first bits of the notebook that I designed for the ScrapMuch? class that was held during their recent (and oh so awesome) fall retreat!

Today I'm going to share the cover page and first "divider" page in the notebook.

I chose a fun patterned piece of paper to embellish the front (this came completely nude).  I also used "inked" natural chipboard Thickers to create my title.

Cutting out the leaves with an Exacto knife took a bit of effort ... but I like how it turned out!

 

 

Thanks for checking in!  Be sure to check in tomorrow for a glimpse of a few more pages of this notebook!

Sweet butterfly!

Hello there!

 

Today I'm sharing a card that I think is super "sweet".  I love the barn board background paper ... so rustic!

 

 

The canvas butterfly was free-handed to match the butterfly paper punch that I used for the inner butterfly ... I love how the layering turned out!

 

 

Thanks for stopping in today ... I hope you've been inspired!

Thanks a bunch of flowers!

Hello friends!

 

Today I'm sharing a colourful thank you card!

 

 

I love the bright pinks on this card ... especially this lovely flower!

 

 

Thanks for stopping in today!

Many thanks with some eyelets ...

Hello there!

 

Today I'm sharing a fun but simple card showcasing some pennants, twine and eyelets!

 

 

I love the earthy feel of this twine ... a nice and simple, but effective accent!

 

 

Thanks for stopping by today!

Check out ScrapMuch? for the challenge details ... basically you have the rest of November to play along and if you enter 2 challenges this month --- you'll be entered in a random drawing for an awesome scrappy prize!!

This week's sketch is another oh so wonderful card sketch by the talented Laura Whitaker.  Don't forget ... you can easily change this into a layout sketch if you would like!

 

 

And this is my take on the sketch!

 

I really enjoyed creating this multi-colour pennant ... I did a little bit of a mirror image here for this sketch ... by putting the "flower" changed into "button" on the right side instead of left ... I love seeing where a sketch can take me!
