Hello and Happy Thursday.  Tina here today with a light-hearted layout featuring my two pups - Moose & Flikka. 

One of the main reasons I love creating with chipboard, especially UmWowStudio chipboard, is that allows you to add more dimension and texture to layouts, no matter who the supplier or collection is.  Raw chipboard is one of the most versatile products you can have in your stash, and it never runs out of style.

I had recently purchased this bright and cheerful collection from Fancy Pants.  I knew I wanted to create a layout featuring my dogs, but I wanted more dimension and color to my layout. 

Heat embossing chipboard is super easy and a great way to do just that.

I embossed Distressed Harlequin chip to be used as a backdrop for my photo, and several pieces from the Layered Triangle chip set.  They added just the perfect touch of dimension, texture, and color to my layout.  Love it!

What is your favorite way to enhance your chip?  Please share your tips and ideas!  I'm always looking for new ways to use my chip!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!

12x12 "Quite the pair"

I got the inspiration from this partly from a page I did previously.. but more from the BoBunny inspiration for the Layout Challenge this month.. I took inspiration from the divided window, the turquoise tan and coral colors, and the banner which I ended up turning into a line of rolled paper pieces.

Looks like I missed the link up so I'll just post on their FB page :)

Baby BLUE eyes - SketchyThursdays + Paula's Bling It

I've been totally inspired by those layouts with huge white spaces and tons of bold color with single photo focus points --- so that's what I've chosen to strive for with this week's Sketchy Thursdays!! (Plus it had been a while since I did a nice big layout!)

I'm also going to enter it into Paula's "Bling It' Challenge!

I did lots of artsy farsty stuff on this layout -- MY FAVE! Splattering and Dobbing with TH/Adirondack Acrylic Paint Dabber in espresso. I also Crackled my BRAND NEW TH mini birdcage shaper and mover die laying down first espresso, then crackle, then snow cap, then crackle and finally espresso again!



I also made sure to stamp with the espresso dobber!! Thanks to AMBER for helping me obtain some of these beauties!!



Used: Fancy Pants stamp, TH Shaper and Mover mini bird and cage die, Adirondack Dobbers in Snow cap and espresso, a prismacolor marker in mediterranean blue, some random paper and a Making Memories frame!

Woohoo!

Made SketchyThursdays Fave today! =) Go check it out!

Nom Nom - Sketchy Thursdays

Ok so I forced myself to get this done so I can submit it to SketchyThursdays --- I LOVED the sketch and had been thinking about the inking ALL WEEK.

And as you've probably recently noticed.. I can't get over Inking, Doodling, or BANNERING. It's terrible. I'm addicted --- good thing I'm pretty good at all three, eh? ;) Just kidding!.. maybe.

Here's my layout for the sketch!


I may or may not have added the pictures digitally.. forgive me, would ya?



Supplies: white cardstock, black sharpie, manilla tags, distress inks, Viva Las Vegastamps! Miracle Tape. Yup, that's it ;)

A lack in progress - rainbow layout

I love the sketches @ SketchyThursdays --- but sometimes a week isn't enough time for me to get a LO done --- which happens to be the case in last weeks sketch.

But I'm lovin' the progress so much that I wanted to share what I have done so far!



So far it's just white cardstock, manilla tags, black pen and distress ink! I think it's gonna be a good one when it's finished!

1.. 2.. 3 - A layout!

This layout is all about accomplishments... mine and Gabe's!!

I knocked out THREE projects with one in this beauty, and I thank goodness... because right now I have A LOT of stuff on my plate!!



FIRST - I'll be submitting this to Sketch Thursdays for the July Guest Designer spot -- I was nominated once before (barely beat by the other gal, I swear!) and just recently I got SKETCHY THURSDAYS FAVE!!! which is ABSOLUTELY amazing. I feel super honored.. the amount of fantastic work that gets submitted there is astounding!! The requirements for this current submission were to follow the sketch (creatively speaking, I turned it around flip flopped it and moved a couple things about..), and to take inspiration from two of the three photos they had present.. I took inspiration from the bowl of cherries, that neutral background with the pop of color from the cherries was SO gorgeous! and the 2nd photo of the frozen fruit bars had this amazing golden yellow color that I used.

SECOND - Rachel from CropChocolate asked me to join in on a scraplift challenge; and from the previous 12x12 I took the size, the scallops and the super pretty light blue color.



THIRD - I'll post this LO over @ BigScrapDeal on Monday because I used the Cosmo Cricket line that they have at a SUPER LOW price! so be on the lookout MONDAY for that and all the juicy CHEAP details!




And Gabe's Achievement: HE ROLLS OVER LIKE A PRO!!! 1.. 2.. AND THREE! Bam he's over. no messin' around with this kid. He's been using it to get around the living room floor.. from one side of the room to the other. LOVE IT.

Supplies: Cosmo Cricket THE BOYFRIEND (paper and chipboard), Distress Ink (Vintage Photo and Peeled Paint), Pebbles brad, Making Memories brad, Stretch Your Imagination Cricut Cartridge, Echo Park alpha stickers, Stroll Thickers, Studio G Alpha stamps, Mustard StazOn, Brown Sharpie pen, Miracle Tape from Viva Las Vegastamps!, water and a jar!
