Where do you find inspiration? Challenges – They are a great jumping point for creativity. I usually have the TV on while scrapping but can’t watch anything that demands my attention.
When you scrap do you listen to music, watch tv or need complete quiet? I usually have the TV on while scrapping but can’t watch anything that demands my attention.
How long have you been scrapping and what is one thing you love about it? Since 2001. One thing I love about it: The creative path it led me down and the connection with like-minded people around the world.
Sherry thank you for sharing a little bit about yourself with us today! Now lets get to Sherry’s first project using the February Bee You kit! Grab your coffee, tea, soda or water and get ready to be inspired!
Hello, friends! Sherry here and I’m thrilled to be a guest designer this month! My layout started with a sweet photo of my daughter and her friend, dressed up for a school dance. The pink, black, and white color combination of the gorgeous Hazelwood floral papers were the perfect match for the photo.
Although I adore the over-sized floral paper, I knew it would overpower my layout. I fussy cut several of the flowers and added french knots to add dimension and a pop of black.
To mat the photo I mixed a couple of pieces from the cut apart sheet of patterned paper.
I needed smaller scale leaves on the perimeter of the layout, so I fussy cut a few from the cut apart sheet.
For the title, I used a stamp from my stash and the gorgeous Thickers that came in the kit.
To pull some soft pink to the top of the layout, I machine-stitched around the edge and layered some ephemera for the cluster at the top.
I’ve loved working with this beautiful kit! Thanks for joining us on the blog today!
