Make It Monday With Linda - Scrapbook Process #11 *XOXO

Hola!!!

I am so sorry that I am posting so incredibly late on the blog, to be honest Imelda is the one that keeps up with this and she normally makes the post when it slips my mind. She is now away on a little snowboarding trip so its up to me to get this week going.

For some time now I have been on Pinterest just browsing and looking at layouts to get some ideas of what colors to pair with orange. I came accross a layout on that I really liked and thought to myself just go with it. They used the XOXO and that is what stood out when I seen the layout....So naturally I decided to do one of my own. I used my sisters Shiloutte and cut out the XOXO in white cardstock,

and the background is a faint greyish blue cardstock. the the patterend paper well, if you don't know me already I am all about using my scrap bin. I also used tissue paper, and I can thank IMELDA for that, she uses alot more mixed media than I do and just watching her create is awesome!!!!!!

This picture is of my daughter when we were on a cruise and she was sitting in the orange stroller and just those eyes.... how can you not make a layout just for this picture!!!

Lay it Out Thursday with Imelda - Scrapbook Process #8 *Happy as a Sparkle

Hi Everyone! 

Things have been quite busy here since the hubby and I are traveling to Jamaica for a destination wedding this week! 💕 Can't wait to relax and enjoy some time in the sun with friends. Canada is having some typical winter weather, Tuesday school buses were even cancelled.

I am entering the Stuck? Sketches challenge for January. You can see the challenge here. I was super inspired by not only the sketch but all the featured layouts created by the design team and the featured layouts. 

Here is the sketch. 

I chose to scrapbook some photos of my daughter and I. We were out for lunch at a local Mexican restaurant.  yum!!!

I used mostly the November 2014 Studio Calico Kit 'Park Ave' and other elements from my stash. The inspiration for the layout, other than the photos, were the coloured transparency pieces. I loved the mix of pink and purple and I really loved the chipboard diamonds with the touches of gold. 

The inspiration for the title comes directly from my daughter. It is actually a something she said that stuck with me and absolutely personifies her personality and positivity. We were hanging out one day and she was in an exceptionally good mood. She was acting quite silly and so I asked her what was up.  She proceeded to answer "I'm just so happy. I'm happy as a sparkle!" Since then, I have wanted to use this as a title for a layout of her sweet happy face! 

Loved the soft touch of lace, stitching and tulle. The pink, purple and gold contrasted against the black and white, I think, worked beautifully!

I had so much fun creating this layout and hope that you will check out the process video. 

Thank you so much for taking the time to visit! Hope you enjoy the video and subscribe to our channel. 

Have a great weekend!

Make it Monday With Imelda - Scrapbook Process #3 *Papi Grande

Good morning everyone!
I am very excited to share with you another process video! I put this together last week and went through a lot of emotions about the layout. I loved it, I liked it, I hated it, and in the end I was very happy with it. I'm glad I stuck with it.

This was my first attempt at mixed media, and I was really excited! I tried some water colours, and then I feel like it was starting to take a turn for the worst! However, I persevered, and stuck with it. I'm so glad I did because in the end, I really like the result. 

Watch my process by clicking below. 

Have you tried mixed media? What was your experience like?

Let me know what you think! Leave a message below. 

Hope you all have a great start to the week!
