My Scraps & More August Sketch

After watching a YouTube video from the very talented Missy Widden, I was inspired to play along over at My Scraps & More, with their August sketch and I am only just in time to upload this.

The sketch included a free hexagon background cut file, I manipulated it a little to suit my needs and here is my layout.

 

 

This was the sketch for an 81/2 x 11 page but also included the free cut file for 12 x 12

 

 

 

 

I used one of Bo Bunny's latest collections - You're Invited as you can see it's colourful yet slightly muted tones, I think it's one of my most favourite collections of theirs ever.

 

 

 

I used some chipboard words from 2Crafty Chipboard and an Owl puffy sticker that I have had in my stash for a long time.

I used Missy's technique with the packaging to add a little mixed media to my page, I will be using this technique more often as its a great way to add the inks/mists etc to your page in a more controlled manner.

 

 

 

I added some journaling to a tag and tucked it to the side of my photo, ths layout is about my rather old deaf 18 year old cat called Hilda, she loves to let you pick her up........as long as there is food at the end of it!

Another old item of stash that I used were the gold photo corners I have had them so long it appears they have come back into fashion again lol.

I really enjoyed creating this layout its been ages since I played around with hexagons!

Bo Bunny 8 x 9 Misc Me

I recently shared some Bo Bunny 8 x 9 Misc Me pages over on the Bo Bunny blog

 Happy Monday, I am here today to share with you how the new Foil Accents and the Genevieve Collection works so well with the Misc Me 8 x 9 pocket pages.

Photo Shoot Misc Me 8 x 9 by Tracee Provis

I love the colour combination of Blue and Yellow and that describes the new Genevieve Collection to a tee, I added some of the Silver Foil accents to my pages for an extra elegant touch.

I love the birdcages that are on both the 12 x 12 papers and the 6 x 6 pad from the Genevieve Collection, I fussy cut one from each of the 2 sizes to add as accents in my pockets. I used a piece from one of the borders on the Accents Silver Foil Transfer Sheets and another from the Sentiments sheets to my pictures, they are so easy to apply and have the most amazing shine that is very hard to capture properly in a photograph.

Blue is my favourite colour, so I pulled them from the papers for these pages. The word Happy is another that I took from the Sentiments Silver Foil Transfer Sheet. For the journaling spot on the right I used the smallest die from the Ornate set, it cuts out rather like a ticket and is a cute place to add some journaling.

I like that you still have the ability to be able to add a regular 6 x 4 photograph in this smaller sized Misc Me, I just added a silver foil word to the bottom of the picture and my pocket was done. The "Happiness" die cut piece is in the noteworthy pack, these are great for ready made embellishments and there are lots in each pack for you to choose from.

 I used a sticker from the Combo Sticker Sheet to mount my ampersand on, the letters from the Double Dot Alpha sheets are a perfect size for adding titles to your Misc Me pages.Because this book is for my Granddaughter I thought it would be fun for her to add some of her own journaling to the pages and have for the moment left these blank. I am sure she is going to have great fun telling the stories in her own words.
