Today, we have a fun this or that challenge at the studio challenges for you!
You have to use at least six lines of these:

polka dots            or            stripes
sequins                or            enamel dots
heart                   or            star
cardstock             or            patterned paper

I took my colour-inspiration from CSI:

And a sketch from Stick it down:

I used light yellow cardstock as my background. Then I smudged some gesso onto it and splattered some colors around (distress oxides: cracked pistachio and worn lipstick). The title is cut out with my cameo. Two of my photos fit perfectly into the letters. Then I handstitched around my title and traced the white letters with a black fineliner. 

From the this or that I took:
sequins, heart, cardstock, flowers, stamps, twine, pink and girls!

The stamps are from SF-stamps.

This month we have a the theme "EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU" at Lasting Memories!
Today: Throwback to your glory days

Create a layout documenting a photo and/or story from the past. You may have a story that doesn't have an accompanying photo - no problem! Find a stock photo online of something to do with the memory, or set up a staged photo to represent the story. You can dig out the archives and scrap those baby pics of yourself, too! Document an old memory you've been meaning to record.

I choosed a photo from me as a child. Here I was ca. 2 years old. I watered the flowers on our balcony in Luxemburg. 
I used black cardstock as my background and painted several metallic gilding polish colors onto it. Then I splattered some white acrylic paint around. The embellishments are made with print and cut and my silhouette cameo.

Thanks for stopping by!

Today I tried to realize a challenge from white with 1. It was hard for me to use only one colour! 

the color is: 

And I used the sketch from Sketches in Thyme:

And this is my layout: First I wanted to use a cutfile wreath for decoration, but then I decided to use only blue paint and white texture paste.

The clouds are cutfiles from the cut shoppe.

I love winter

It's summer here in Germany, but who feels like creating summer layouts all the time? 😉 I saw the winter challenge at off the rails scrapbooking and decided to join in. And I had so much fun in creating this layout with all the blues!

And I want to join in the challenge of use your stuff. They want to see monochromatic creations.

Thanks for stopping by!

so fun

I LOVE our new challenge at the studio challenges!  BIG SHAPE! I love using big shapes on my layouts.

Today, I wanted to let the shape be the eye catcher of my layout! I used this beautiful butterfly cutfile from Paige Taylor Evans and backed it with patterned paper. I really love how it turns out!

We have a new challenge at Lasting Memories for you, today:

LM # 402 - Love Your Selfie

Some of you may be comfortable taking selfies, others may not be, but do it anyway! We want to see your beautiful face on a layout. Please scrapbook a photo of yourself and tell a story about YOU. Journal about your hopes and dreams, a funny memory, anything that pops to mind that you believe a future scrapbook reader would LOVE to know about the caring person who created your scrapbook.

I used grey cardstock as my Background and stamped some dots, swirls, stars and little butterflies onto it. Then I coloured white cardstock with copper, apricot and brown gilding polish and cut out some butterflies with my big shot.

I stamped with distress oxides and I love how the dots turned out. 

I love the gilding polishes! They have such a great shimmer!

Thanks for stopping by!

we are family

Puh, time is flying! But I had some time to create a layout for some challenges.
First of all, I used the challenge from CSI-color-stories-inspiration:

And I wanted to try the challenge of scrap our stash with their golden globe challenge:

I used these items: F- food
                               A- arrow
                               T- turquoise
                               H - hearts
                               E - enamel dots
                               R - rhinestones

And - last but not least - I used the sketch from Sketches in Thyme #330:

And this is my layout: 

I love how the white title turned out in front of the pink and turquoise splatters!
