Come On Get Crafty

                        

How is your album coming along? Are you up to date? I can say for the moment that I am, woohoo! Don't ask me in a few weeks though ;) I know once school gets out for the summer things might get a little behind and that is OK! 

                       

This week I used some of the new Pebbles line Lakeside from the shop. I absolutley love this line and I know that I will use tons of it this summer! I love the colors and all of the fun embellishments. 

                        

                        
I also used the LilyBee line Sweet Shoppe, the letter stickers are perfect for PL. They are a great size. I love the chipboard stickers too, I used the banners on this photo about our new playground at our town park. 

                        

I hope you all have a great Tuesday!

Happy Tuesday everyone! I am here with another week of Project Life. I tried something a little different this week. I tried to stick a color scheme-navy blue, orange and gray. Overall I pretty well stayed with those 3 colors. 

                       

I also realized that I hadn't taken many photos this week. So the sequence of pics of my daughter on the monkey bars really came in handy! I really like the way it turned out, I might have to try it again.

Welcome to another Tuesday post about documenting the everyday! I must admit that I am a little behind on my PL album and I am a little panicked. We are too busy living our everyday life to document it these days, but I know I will catch up and that is OK :) This was a different type of week for me because I was away from my kids most of the week. They usually take up most of my week, but it was a fun change to document what I did for the week. 

                           

shop items used-Jillibean Soup Wise Words(blue, yellow, white) Alison Kreft(sweet notes paper, composition and color paper) Studio Calico(wonky circle stickers, vellum frames) Fancy Pants(Park Bench label stickers)

                 

Hello! Today I am here with a layout I made with a product that is geared toward Project Life type albums. There are so many cute products out there these days since Project Life has grown so big this year. If you don't do Project Life or something similiar you might feel a bit left out, but I encourage you to find a way to incorporate those products into your traditional scrapbooking! I used the Alison Kreft Sweet Notes paper on my layout. I just love the look of all of the colors and patterns used together. 

                

There is a perfect spot already made for journaling and multiple options for placing a title and the rest of the spaces are open just to have fun and embellish!

Happy Monday everyone, Ginny here with you all today for another Moodboard Monday. Today we are highlighting one of the trendiest color combos out there right now pink and gold. I love these colors together, even though they are not colors I am typically attracted to. I just love the light that the gold gives off and the happiness of the pink, great for spring.

I hope this has inspired you to get out some paper & glue and start crafting!!

                                      
                                     

It's time for another sketch challenge here at the Come On Get Crafty blog!  Our team has come up with some amazing inspiration for you to help jumpstart your weekend creativity!  

First up is Nicole with her take on the sketch...

 

Nicole says, "I loved how Adrienne's sketch allowed such versatility of including as few or as many embellishments as you wish.  With Mother's Day approaching, I wanted to document our oldest son who made me a mom :) ."

 

Shop Items Used:  May Arts (Chevron Twill), Jillibean Soup (Irish Farmhouse Soup Stickers, Fresh Vegetable Soup Stickers), Lily Bee (Sweet Shoppe Label Stickers, Chit Chat Stickers, Accent Stickers), Pebbles (Lakeside Chalkboard Alpha Stickers), Pink Paislee (Cottage Farms Market Patterned Paper)

Next up is Ginny with her take on the sketch.  Ginny said, "I started out really close to the sketch, but the more I moved the elements around, the more they all seemed to want to gravitate towards the center of the page :)  I still have a few circles and strips of paper elements from the sketch.  I love the Basic Grey Hipster Collection, such a fun graphic line for boy layouts." 

Shop Items Used:  Basic Grey (Hipster 6x6 Paper Pad, Snippets, Wood Veneer Die Cuts, Vintage Stamps)

 

Here's what Suz came up with...

Suz said, "I loosely interpreted the sketch using the idea of items at the top left middle/middle right and bottom left (so in other words, the flow of the sketch).  :)

Shop Items Used:  Webster's Pages (Sweet Sentiments Noteworthy Patterned Paper, Composition and Color Paper Pad), Basic Grey (Mint Julep Chipboard Alpha)

Here's Diane's layout using the sketch and she said, "The Pink Paislee Cottage Farms Collection is perfect for vintage photos and my Grandma loved butterflies so I knew I wanted to use a photo of her for the layout to coordinate with the beautiful butterflies in this collection."

 

Shop Items Used:  Pink Paislee (Cottage Farms Barrel, Basket, and Bushel Patterned Paper, Paper Goods, Photo Frames, and Press-Ons) 

And here's my take on the sketch...

I really liked the lines of this sketch and stuck very close to it.  The Basic Grey Mint Julep Collection is great for a softer, more feminine feel and I thought it was perfect for this layout about my daughter's first big girl bed. 

 

Shop Items Used:  Basic Grey (Mint Julep Bottle Cap Stickers, Mint Julep Fabric Tape, Mint Julep Paper Pad, Mint Julep Woven Labels, Mint Julep Snippets, Mint Julep Chipboard Alphas, Hipster Wood Veneer Die Cuts), Fancy Pants (Park Bench Decorative Tags, Park Bench Button Set), Webster's Pages (Sweet Notes Washi Tape Set, Sweet Notes Alpha and Tag Stickers)

 

Now it's your turn to inspire us!  Link up your creations using the sketch on this post by Saturday, May 25th for a chance to win a $5 Gift Card to the Come On Get Crafty shop.  And don't forget to post your creations to our Flickr Gallery, too!  Good luck and happy crafting :)

 

                        

 

Hi, Ginny here with you today :) Today I am going to showcase the new Basic Grey Mint Julep collection. I think is a perfect line for your Spring and Summer photos. The patterned paper really reminded me of old quilts, so that is the inspiration I used for my layout. I started by cutting paper from the 6x6 paper pad into 3x3 inch squares. I then sewed those together to make my "paper quilt".

 

Then I used some of the embellishments from the Mint Julep line to finish off the page. I think the Woven Labels are my favorite! 

Have a great day!

Hi everyone, Ginny here with you today. Today I wanted to showcase the Down by the Shore line from Fancy Pants. I love Summer scrapbook lines and I really love the color combo of this line. 

The page was created all around the Down by the Shore tape stickers. I really liked the way they looked all together and I didn't want to lose any of the patterns or colors by just picking a few of them to use. So I just cut the Fancy Pants tag off the top and sewed the whole thing down on the paper! Super easy! I then used different size circle punches and punched some circles from the Fancy Pants Down by the Shore 6x6 paper pad. I think the 6x6 paper pads are so awesome, I love that they have the patterns scaled down. I finished off with a few label stickers from the same line and a few of the Jillibean Soup Irish Farmhouse label stickers. I had fun working with the Summer photo, Spring is slowly coming our way up here and I am yearning for some warmer temps! I hope you all have a great day!

Hello everyone and happy Saturday!  It's Adrienne here and I have a great sketch to jumpstart your weekend creativity!  

 

Take a look at how our amazing Creative Team interpreted the sketch...

Diane said, "I have found several quotes and sayings on Pinterest lately that have been inspiring my titles. The saying on this layout, paired with the sketch made it easy to put this layout together."

Shop Items Used: Fancy Pants (TrendSetter 6x6 paper pad, TrendSetter label stickers, TrendSetter patterned photo frames, Trendsetter flair), American Crafts (My Girl Hopscotch bits), Studio Calico (Sundrifter wood veneer circles, Sundrifter wood veneer shapes, Snippets wood veneer chevron)

Ginny said, "I tend to do 8.5x11 and I think this sketch really lends itself to the smaller scale. I love when a sketch is so versatile! I was inspired by the circles and I just wanted a fun and colorful page to match the fun photo of my daughter."

 

Shop Items Used: Maggie Holmes (fabric frames, mini alpha sticker sheet, mini album supplement pack, washi paper) Jillibean Soup (Fresh Vegetable Soup shape stickers)

 

Nicole said, "I like how sketches give me a little boost to get started when I feel like I'm in a rut. What I love most about Adrienne's sketch is the focus on the photos and the story to go with it. It gives lots of room for variation in embellishing the photos, as well. Perfection! :)  I used some birthday party photos for mine."

Shop Items Used: Basic Grey (candy buttons), Jillibean Soup (Fresh Vegetable Bite - Size Bits), Fancy Pants (Down By the Shore Paper Pad), May Arts (Chevron Twill)

 

And I love using sketches!  I thought this one was a great design to use for the photos of my daughter walking next to a wheat field by our home.  I used lots of Maggie Holmes products and kept the color palette soft with a few bright pops of pink and blue.

Shop Supplies Used:  Jillibean Soup (Wise Words Stickers - White), Maggie Holmes (Fabric Frames, Mini Alpha Stickers, Accent Sticker Sheet, Mini Album Supplement Pack, Washi Paper

Now it's your turn!  We want to see your take on the sketch!  Link up your creations here by Saturday, April 26th for a chance to win a $5 gift card to the Come On Get Crafty online shop.  Good luck and happy crafting!

Hi this is Ginny with my first post, I am very excited to be here! Today I am sharing a Project Life weekly spread with you. 

I love these Maggie Holmes stickers, they might be a new fave! My 3 year old daughter is really eager to go to school. She gets a backpack ready in the mornings while I am getting my older girls ready for school, then she pretends she is going to school. These are the moments that I love to capture, the little things that might be forgotten in a few years. 

I also used the Jillibean Soup Wise Word stickers, I love the versatility that these stickers have. Perfect for PL, cards, or layouts.
