Hi everyone! Today I'm sharing some class layouts that I did back in May at The Crafty Chain. Anna Komenda came all the way from Poland to teach these classes at the Cocoa Vanilla Studios Retreat and also at The Crafty Chain. I ended up doing all three classes, some classes had two layouts. It was a very long day!

Here are the finished layouts along with a customary selfie with Anna.

Thanks for stopping by, happy crafting.

Hi everyone! Today I'm sharing a layout that I created using a new collection from Celebr8 called "A Formal Affair". This collection was the perfect choice to go with my photos from my high school formal. Not only with the little quotes and embellishments, but the colour too!

Here is my layout plus close ups so you can see how I've embellished the page.

Scrap the Boys May Challenge

Hi everyone! Today I'm sharing my entry into Scrap the Boys Challenge for May.

This month the theme is "Mother's Day" celebrating as a mother, grandmother, godmother can be in the photo along with the boy/man in your life.

I chose this fun photo I had taken with my nephew Matthew, we were always goofing around as best friends. Our bond was very special, he even said that he wished I was his mum. For this layout I have used papers and ephemera from Cocoa Vanilla Studio's Midnight Collection.

Thanks for stopping by!

Scrap the Girls May Challenge

Julie Schinkel Thursday, May 02, 2019 8 Comments

Hi everyone! Today I'm sharing my entry into Scrap the Girls May Challenge - "April Showers Bring May Flowers". This month there is a sketch to follow designed by Sue Plumb.

Usually when there is a sketch provided, I like to follow the sketch almost to the letter. That for me is a challenge in itself as I usually go freestyle with my layouts.

Here is my layout according to the sketch. I've used papers and fussy cut elements from the 7th Heaven Collection by Mintay Papers.
