Elora Gorge Part Deux - Stuck?! Sketches! Design Team REVEAL - June 15th

Hi there

Today, I am sharing my
June 15th
Stuck?! Sketches
Design Team Reveal
Elora Gorge II
I created this fun masculine page using Little Yellow Bicycle Fern and Forrest collection.
So fun and perfect for these photos.
We were spending the weekend camping at Elora Gorge
It had rained so much there were major flooding warnings,
This road /bridge was closed due to high water levels.

Here are some close-ups:
 I cut a circle into the patterned paper 
using the word CURIOUS
- they boys were exploring and finding all of natures treasures left after a major flood
 A DIY post sign using Little Yellow Bicycle stickers, patterned paper cut into
a flag and brown wool wrapped into a bow
explore  Snips and Snails   TIME TO PLAY  just like brothers
Cork chevrons that I inked, centered in a circle,
textured paste with Tim Holtz stencil and
balancing everything off with a My Mind's Eye decorative brad.

Here is Laura's Sketch:
Stuck?! June 15
For my page, I turned the sketch and didn't title my page

When your sketch designer reveals  2 amazing single sketches in June, combine them together and they work perfectly
as a double page

Elora GORGE - Stuck?! Sketches! Design Team REVEAL- June 1st

Hi there!
and HaPpY June 1st
Can you believe it...we are half way through 2016 - sshhh!!!!

Ok - today I am sharing my latest
 REVEAL
Elora GORGE
We met my family at Elora Gorge Conservation last year (2015)
for Canada Day long weekend - it had flooded that Spring and the main
road was closed (as you see) My Little and his cousin 
thought it was great to walk across
(due to water levels there was no swimming in the Gorge)
They had a blast!
I crafted using Little Yellow Bicycle - these papers are perfect for documenting this adventure.

Here are some close-ups:
 Mixed title using Fancy Pants mini-alpha stickers and 
Bottle Cap Inc wood alpha tiles
 For texture I added some cork chevron ribbon and Dimensional texture paste
with my Tim Holtz stencil
 My photo is edged with white acrylic paint, a cork corner tucked in behind and
a Simple Stories label sticker for my date, a My Minds Eye brad
to finish it off!
Heidi Swapp circle stickers:
#REMEMBERTHIS #STAYGOLD #MAKINGMEMORIES
RSVP
Little Yellow Bicycle word sticker
be WILD and FREE
The boys imagined they were on this big excursion to find some treasure!

Here is Laura's sketch:

EGG HUNT 2016 - ScrapMuch? Kit

Hi there!

One last post to show you an AMAZING
ScrapMuch? Project kit
EGG HUNT 2016
This double page layout kit is from last year (2015) and is
sold out
(so cute - it didn't last long)
But they have so many more to chose from!!
Every year, here in Muskoka, The Nutty Chocolatier offers the town an egg hunt.  
It's divided into age groups and there are 25,000 
chocolate eggs to be gathered -
with a Golden egg for the ultimate prize.
My Little loves to find frozen eggs
(we always have snow for Easter)
and then head home for a chocolate fondue

Here are some close-ups: 
Left side

Right side
 Silhouette cut file title and I added the year
 - as we do this every year!
How stinkin' cute is this bunny in the basket
I embossed my flowers and added some Bling
and more embellishing to balance out the other side
Laura and the girls have some really cute kits to share!!
My Little didn't even try for the golden egg,
he just wanted to get home and fondue!

Of course, I made it my own but really kept true the kit!
It's so cute!

Hop over and shop at ScrapMuch? 
They are offering:

We'll see you around and Thank you for stopping by

Dying 4 EGGS - ScrapMuch? Design Team Farewell

Hi there!

It is that time to share 
my last 
take on the
very LAST sketch over at ScrapMuch?
dying 4 eggs
My Little LOVES to dye eggs!  Each year he tries to be a little
more creative and change things up.
This year we found an empty nest and had to use it.
We had one "wounded" egg so we created hats and such for the other
survivors LOL

Here are some close-ups:
 cut file title on Easter grass, I used fringe scissors, fussy cut each piece on an angel and then inked and curled each blade of grass. 
Love the effect.
 silhouette bunny cut file tucked behind my photos,
adding a little matte pink enamel dot nose.
here I machine stitched my ric-rac and used my Fuse tool to 
create a little pocket "captured"
the view finder I embellished with a heart
enamel dot and glitter!

Here is Laura's 250th and final sketch:
ScrapMuch?
Here is my final farewell to an amazing team!  
From our AMAZING Sketch Designer and Lead (Laura)
to the awesome owners at ScrapMuch?
Of course the very diversified but oh so talented Design Team!
{{hugs}} to each and every one of you, past and present xo
I started my journey with ScrapMuch?, growing and defining my craft, 
now, today I am retiring my ScrapMuch? DT with them
Thank you!

I am truly blessed being part of this team, seeing all of the amazing entries

now on to a new chapter.
