Sketches in Thyme Project Life Style--Sketch #21

Welcome to April and a new sketch for Week 1 at Sketches in Thyme Project Life Style!  The first sketch for April comes from the lovely Maven Shawn:

I didn't have any pictures printed for my PL album, so I used this week's sketch with a photo of my grandparents as the focal point of a 12x12 page.

I layered three of the greenish-colored sequins together in this corner, because they're such a light color that they really couldn't be seen otherwise.  I LOVE the way it turned out!

Supplies Used

~Becky Higgins Project Life journaling pen

~Bella Creationz Metallic Graphite Gray and Pastel sequins

~Carta Bella Moments & Memories collection

~Teresa Collins Daily Stories and Something Wonderful sequins

We can't wait to see the PL cards you create with this new sketch!  Be sure to get your creation linked up at the Sketches in Thyme Project Life Style challenge blog before the end of the month.  Good luck, and happy scrapping!

It's planNERD Sunday!

Hi, everyone!  It's time for my next installment of planNERD Sunday at Timeless Twine!  Today I'm going to share with you my April cover and month-at-a-glance pages, as well as my pages for this week, and I will include links to all of the Bella Creationz and Timeless Twine supplies at the end of my post.

I started out this month by edging my monthly divider with some Key Lime Sorbet twine from Timeless Twine, outlining the Mason jar with the same twine, and adding some sequins to the jar, flowers, and the dot on the 'i.'

For my month-at-a-glance page, I used planNERD and *NEW* Church Plans stamp sets to include things I already knew were going on this month.  I really LOVE the new Church Plans set!  There are so many great images and words to choose from.

 I decided to go with a travel theme for this week and added some washi tape to the bottom of each page and a travel-themed washi tape across one of the dividers (to cover up labels I didn't want).  I added the "Hydrate" stamp from the planNERD set on each day, as I'm REALLY trying to lose weight and keep up with my water intake.  Then, I added small hearts (also from the planNERD set) I could check off for a to-do list and any other extras going on.  I included the "Project" stamp from the planNERD 2 set on Sunday, so I made sure I would check things off for my blog post when they're finished, then finished up the week by including some "Happy Anniversary" and love stamps from the Happy Days and Oh,Snap! stamp sets, since Wednesday is my tenth wedding anniversary.

Supplies Used
Bella Creationz sequins--Clearly Beautiful, new pastels (**COMING SOON!**), and Sparkly Clear
Bella Creationz stamp sets--Church Plans, Happy Days, planNERD, planNERD 2, Plan to be Fit and Oh, Snap!
Color Box Mini Ink in Razzberry
Darice Ink It Up! in Turquoise
Timeless Twine Key Lime Sorbet twine
Washi tape from stash



If you're a planner stamper and haven't checked out the Bella Creationz stamp sets yet, you really should!  They're super cute and can be used for more than just planners!

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great Sunday, a wonderful week, and happy scrapping!

Sequin/Shaker Saturday with Timeless Twine!

It's Sequin/Shaker Saturday on the Timeless Twine blog!  Shaker cards are ones I LOVE but have always struggled with.

For this card, I used the no-bulk shaker card technique from Jennifer McGuire, which can be viewed on her YouTube channel here.

I'd never stamped on acetate before, but I think I really like the look!
