Family in Orange Orchard

I did this layout for the Sketchy Thursday Sketch Challenge. I used this photo that we had taken in an Orange Orchard near Three Rivers, California. My Parents loved this whole concept of open Orchards and the long neat row of Orange Trees :) I used mostly My Minds Eye Papers for this Layout and some generic CS. I cut out the shaped image from Cricut Storybook Cartridge. It feels nice to be using Cricut again - I guess it is because I am doing lot more LO's now a days. I used felt thickers for the title. I took inspiration from the colors in the photo - Orange, green and browns for the colors of my layout.

Here is the sketch,



Supplies:
Stamp - None
Paper - My Minds Eye DP, Generic CS
Ink - None
Other - Prima Flowers, SU Large Oval Punch, Cricut Storybook Cartridge

{ippity} Blog Hop Time!!

It is Monday and that means {ippity} blog hop time. I was quite excited about today's blog hop and ended up making three sets of cards. So please have some patience to go through my post :). Check out {ippity} blog for the list of all the other participants in this blog hop.

1) I did the first card for the Sketchy Thursday Second Chance Card Sketch. It was so much fun doing this card. I used the Ranger Acrylic Paint Daubers in Metallic colors and drew the lines...I used the Gold, Silver and Copper. I used the white paint dauber on the edge of the kraft paper. The image from Because of you set completed the card,


Here is the Sketch,


2) The second card was done for the Just Us Girls Challenge #16 - Which is a color challenge. I used Scarlett Jewel, Sweet Blush and Vintage Cream CS from PTI and Grey from SU. Kept it simple, but loved how this card turned out.


Here is their Color Challenge,


3) Last but not least, I cut out the Flower Image from the Because Of You set and Paper Pierced it :)

CPS150 and Scrapbook Page

I am doing more scrapbook layouts now a days and enjoying it a lot. So, I decided to take the Fresh Idea from Lisa as mentioned on the {ippity} Blog and use this card sketch to create a scrapbook layout.

Here is my Page. These were the photos I took during our visit to NYC this past Christmas and this was in Columbia University - nestled in the heart of the city. Sorry for the bad photos within the layout. These photos were taking using my iPhone and the clarity is not the best :)



I printed out the title from Computer and edged it with some copic marker to give it a shadow feeling. I also cut out some signs from the Cricut Going Places Cartridge to give a NYC city feel to the page.

Here is the CPS150 Sketch,


Supplies:
Stamp - None
Paper - Coredinations Card stock, American Crafts Travel Paper Pack
Ink - Copics
Other - PTI Vintage Buttons, Cricut Going Places Cartridge, Punches
