Today I have a great layout inspired by a sketch at Scrap much. I created it using the new Cocoa Vanilla Life is Beautiful line from My Scraps and More. It's gorgeous!! I added some watercolor to the wood veneer to add a bit of color to the layout and love how it looks. I'm going to have to remember to do it more often. The large doily behind was a great base for all the beautiful embellishments in this collection.
Sometimes layouts just don't go as planned and sometimes you try to stretch and do new things that just don't work out. That's when you start again and go back to what you know and love. I started this layout 3 times before I was happy with it. I wanted it to be something I loved as much as the photo of my son with his black eye. LOL
Come along as I share my struggles and the final outcome
Looking to do a really quick double page layout? If you're short on time but want to scrap then grab a sketch and the Sangria collection and follow along with me.
I had these photos from my hubby's high school reunion I really wanted to get scrapped so I found a fabulous sketch then pulled my Sangria paper, complements, and assortments and I had them scrapped in no time.
Using 6x6 pads is a great way to get a sampling of all the paper in a collection as well as I love the smaller prints so you can really use a lot of different patterns on a page.
Hello!! Today I have a video to share along with several artists from the Crafty Maven Getaway Youtube channel. We have a Tag Hop going on where we will be answering 13 questions about our scrappy selves so you can get to know us a little better.
Here's a look

Here's a look at what we'll be discussing...
1. What do you love most about Crafty Maven?
2. Do you scrap chronologically or just whatever peaks your interest at the time?
3. Do you scrap standing or sitting down?
4 What is more intimidating to you using scraps or new sheets of pattern paper?
5. Do you use only 1 collection or mix it up (you can consider kits as a collection)
6. What’s your favourite day on Crafty Maven?
7. What scrappy supply are you obsessed with (ex. Thickers)
8. What element do you just have to add to every page to consider it done (ex. Enamel dots)
9. What trend are you just OVER or don’t understand in scrapbooking (ex. Adding foxes to everything)
10. What is that one embellishment that took you forever to use? (Maybe show how you finally used it)
11 Be honest do you pre-plan your videos
12. What are your non scrappy hobbies?
13. Has being a Crafty Maven Member changed your scrapbooking?
