Vintage Winter Layout

Hello all! Today I'm sharing a vintage winter layout -- and by vintage, I mean my own baby photos. I'm almost 40, so that counts as vintage, right? :)

I used my January kit and lots of border punches to create this layout...

To start, I used this amazing sketch from Christine. I just loved all those strips, and I knew it would be so fun to create using lots of scallop border punches.

I modified the sketch a bit to do even more layers of border strips, and I love how it turned out.

The rest of the embellishments are bits and pieces from my stash, including this card of pins from a Polka Dot Whimsy kit from years ago. I added the button and other pieces to create a little vintage-looking cluster.

Seriously in love with all those strips layered together...

I love this sketch -- thank you Christine for such a fun sketch!

Christine has lots of other fun sketches for you to play with as well. Head over to her blog to download them today.

Until next time -- stay crafty!

Cute Winter Sparrow Cards

I have two quick, cute cards to share today using my January kit and the Winter Sparrows stamp and die sets from Lawn Fawn.

To create the cards, I first used my Kiwi Lane card templates to frame out my page:

• Strip Set 1 inch
• Thoughtful 2B, 3B

I trimmed out all of my paper strips, inked them up, and layered them on my card base. Then it was just a matter of putting the cute embellishments in place. I placed the stamped/die cut birds on a punched scallop circle that I embossed, added the stamped sentiment, and glitzed it up a bit with tiny pearls.

I created one thank you card...

...and one "Season's Tweetings" card, which was the sentiment that comes with the Winter Sparrow stamps.

So super cute and so easy! If you haven't tried those Lawn Fawn stamps and dies yet, you seriously should. They are just too much fun.

Thanks for stopping by today! Until next time...

Stay crafty!

Sketch 'N Scrap January 1 Sketch Layout

Hello all! I'm so excited to be here on the first day of the new year with a new layout. This is my first official layout for the Sketch 'N Scrap design team. I'm honored to be a part of this talented group and excited that I'll be able to share even more of their great sketches with you this year.

Today's layout is based on the January 1, 2014, sketch...

I love the arrangement in this sketch. When I went to create my version, I only had two photos to showcase, however. So, here's how my layout turned out...

I really wanted to leave those vintage skis on the paper in place, so they ended up in place instead of another photo, which worked out great for me. I used my January kit to create this layout -- I love all these wintery elements now that we're in the middle of the cold season here in Colorado.

A very simple layout with lots of impact. I love how it turned out.

Make sure to create your own version of the sketch and post it at Sketch 'N Scrap so you can be entered to win a great prize package! Can't wait to see what you create. Until next time...

Stay crafty,
Lissa :)
