Psychotic Ramblings from a Serial Scrapper AKA Craft Room Therapy

Lately I have been enamored with burlap.  Love using it on my scrapbook layouts.  Just bought a burlap and sunflower table runner.  and I decided to make this wreath.  Still a little early for fall decorations but it is adorning my front door anyway! 

Love last weeks sketch from Nuts About Sketches (week 330).  This was a pictur eof my girls from homecoming 2011.  I used February My Creative Scrapbook kit which I have lots leftover from.  Its got a lot of heart-sy sort of things and I don't do alot of love themed layouts!   But I am really trying to use these kits I love to buy .... so here is the result.

Another 2 page layout using Yellowstone pictures and a Nuts about Sketches sketch (sketch #319).  I have also been very hard to use up some of my old kits that I have bought over the years.  and of course a touch of burlap which is my new favorite texture! 

  Yes I am still buried in pictures from our first trip to Yellowstone.  I created this layout using this weeks sketch at Nuts about Sketches (sketch #331).  I love how Shawn's sketches let me get lots of photos on a page, while still highlighting the photos! 

I have been a little behind in blogging.  Here is a layout I did for Nuts about Sketches ( Sketch # 321) .  Sarah was very lucky that her school choir got to go to New Yorkand sing at Carnegie Hall during last spring break.  Of course Sarah didn't really share these with me, so being the scrapbooking mom that I am I swiped them from her Facebook page!  She loved how the page turned out! 

HURRY! You still have time to check out Turtle Soup and  our monthly mini crop.  If you are looking for some fun and scrappy challenges be sure to check it out!   For my challenge this month I challenged everyone to use vacation photos and lots of layers.  I love this Bo Bunny line! And lots and lots of layers!

So excited to be joining Nuts about Sketches for another term..  This is the layout I submitted for the call using sketch #286.  I love that Shawn has sketches with lots of photos! She offers 1 and 2 pages sketches!  Check out her sketches.

I love to challenge myself to create things for design team calls.  Core'dinations is this awesome "no white core" cardstock.  I have a rather large collection of cardstock and this brand is always one of my favorites.  Here are a few examples I created using this cardstock.  I created this beachy themed layout using the Vintage Collections. I love how it added so much texture with cardstock!  Check out this up close look at those die cuts.  To make the seaweed I used a Martha Stewart leaf border punch and cut it apart!  Super Fun!  Next up my birthday card.  I used a bi-fold pattern that I have never tried before and love the results.   For this card I used the Solid CoreCardstock and punches and embossing.  Very simple but lots of impact!  Love the de-bossed look on the right side! Next up a thank you card.  You can never have too many thank you cards waiting to be sent! For this card I us...

here is another layout I created using Nuts about Sketches (#328).  I love all her sketches.  Most of them use lots of photos!  and lots of 2 page sketches.  What have you been working on lately?  Where do you get your inspiration?

Here is my take on this month's Design team sketch over at Turtle Soup Fourms.  As you can see I am still making my way through all of 2012's Yellowstone pictures.  Which means I am officially 3 vacations behind on my scrapbooking.  If you love scrapbooking challenges check out the Turtle Soup Forum. We have 12 or more challenges each month followed by a mini crop!  Always lots of great inspiration.
