Valentine Subway Art

It's getting close to Valentine's Day, so it's time to switch out my seasonal printable frame (you can find winter here, fall here, and Christmas here). For Valentine's Day I decided to use a little 1 Corinthians Valentine Subway Art.
 

I found this amazing free Valentine printable from The Girl Creative. Make sure to leave her some love for providing it for free if you chose to use it, too. To customize it, I printed it out on a subtly patterned paper form Pebbles Inc's Yours Truly collection.

I added a little extra sparkle by matting it on some blue American Craft Pow! glitter paper. I mean, if you can't use glitter for Valentine's Day, when can you use it.

I put some rhinestones on here and there and used a Zig Wink of Stella brush to add some glitter to some of the red words. on the printable.

I popped in in my frame, and I'm all set for Valentine's Day.

Game Night Layout

We love playing games at our house. We play them a lot, but every once in a while we declare it an official family game night. Our most recent game night brought The Game of Life, lots of giggling, and the photo for this Game Night Layout.

I grabbed American Craft's Shimelle collection for this layout. Mostly I grabbed it because I really love it, and I haven't had a chance to play around with it.

Then, I found this "I just want to stay home" sticker in the matching sticker pack and knew it was meant to be.  I really love the pops of gold in this collection, too.

 I played the gold up by adding gold alphas and some gold accents with a paint pen.

 I added the "love" to my photo before printing it, but then added a gold sticker in place of the "o" in love.

Ball Game

Ok, I know it's cold outside, but I've never been one to scrap in order. Recently, I picked up Moxxie's At the Ballpark because I had this great picture to scrap of my favorite guys at the ball game.

I love the vintage feel of this collection.  Most of the baseball collections I have are a lot brighter, so it was fun to work with something a little different.  I love how the different shades of sepia and muted colors really compliment the photo and let it pop. 

 Wood embellishments had the perfect feel this layout. Studio Calico's wood veneer chevrons are some of my very favorite. The best part was I didn't even need to alter them with ink or paint, since the natural wood complimented the colors so well. 

I also couldn't help but use this Boys of Summer sticker. I popped it up with some foam adhesive to give the layout a little more dimension.
I can't wait to spend more days at the ballpark next summer. In the mean time I'll just have to scrap about it!

Moxxie Springtime Thank You Card

Today I have a Moxxie Springtime thank you card.  I need a lot of thank you cards at the end of the school year, so I thought it would be great to get a head start and have some fun playing with Moxxie's new release, Springtime.

I went for a really clean card, making use of a lot of white space.

Most of my paper came from the little UPC strips at the bottom of the 12 x 12 sheet.  I love that Moxxie adds in a pattern to those little strips.  Using them here on this card makes me feel like I'm not wasting any part of this fun new collection!

 For my greeting on this card, I used My Favorite things Polka Dot Greetings. Stamping "Thank You" in white ink made the greeting pop against the plum paper. 

One card down, about a dozen left to go!  Have a great weekend.
Thanks for stopping by.
