Good morning- and Happy Earth Day! This post is coming to you via Auto Post as I am out of town :). Just wanted to make sure I was able to share with you my DT work for Creative Scrappers, sketch #205 which is being unveiled today!
After capturing this photo of my middle child, Gunner, I just couldn't wait to get it scrapped. We were coloring eggs the night before Easter Sunday, and I was originally taking a group shot of my hubby and the two boys when I noticed Gunner giving up his "Cheese Face" (as I like to call it, lol). So I quick zoomed in on him and got some good ones- a rarity of late. It seems that he makes a run from the camera more now than ever- which is frustrating for a scrappy mom- I'm sure you can relate! So this was a treat for me :).
Here's what I came up with (I've really been having fun experimenting with my messy side, if you hadn't noticed):
Based on this fabulous sketch:
I've had this Bo Bunny "Ambrosia" collection since it was first released and have hardly touched it. But for some reason, I was just drawn to it for this layout. The bright colors, I felt, really helped portray my little guy's bold personality- and did well in supporting his spontaneous "holiday mood" :).
Of course I've got some close-ups for you...
I used a mixture of gesso, glimmer mist, and glimmer glaze to create my funky background~
The sequins and mini blooms were all individually placed and popped up with foam adhesive~
Supplies Used:
~Bo Bunny "Ambrosia" papers
~Prima Marketing, Kaiser Craft, Flying Unicorn, & Wild Orchid flowers
~Tattered Angels "Mardi Gras" & "Inchworm" Glimmer Mists
~Maya Road "Blue Hydrangea" mist
~Tattered Angels "Mermaid" Glimmer Glaze
~Other: ribbon, lace, sequins, doily, gesso, foam adhesive
So get yourself on over to Creative Scrappers and try this sketch out for yourself! It's very versatile- I definitely took this one in my own direction- but that's the beauty of sketches!!
Have a great day and I'll be around very soon- will be back Monday night and am hoping to get my "catching up" done then.
Take care!!

Gorgeous Erin!! Love the funny photo, the misting and the artistic look in this page!! Wonderful work!!! Take care girl! Hugs! :)
Gorgeous, Erin! I love your messy, misty background...the way it blends together reminds me of dying Easter eggs. I always liked to dip one egg in multiple colors to give it a different look, and this background goes perfectly with the Easter theme. Love the flowers, and that adorable photo :)
