Good Things Are Coming

 

I’ve chosen this photo taken eight years ago as a perfect compliment to the Curiosities in Willow Grove collection by Vicki Boutin, using the sketch that came in My Creative Scrapbook’s November Limited Edition Kit.

The Paper #4 sheet, with its muted colors and design makes a good neutral background that will allow the focal image pop. I chose Paper #5 for the circle, using the orange to match the pumpkins in the photo.

Once I had an idea as to where I would be placing the photo, I used the stencil that came in the kit to make backgrounds for the embellishments.

I cut a tag from Paper #8 and a rectangle piece from Paper #10. I selected two tag images from the Laser Cut Elements. One of these was attached to the Paper #8 tag, the other was glued just below it. The camera and the title and journaling strip also came from this package.

Just as I had been doing with all of the other pieces, I inked the flower images from the Laser Cut Foliage before gluing them down in layers.

Beef on Weck

 

My title, Beef on Weck, refers to a sandwich from Western New York. It consists of thinly sliced roast beef served on a kummelweck roll, dipped in au jus and finished with a side of horseradish.

I wanted to keep this very simple in order to focus on the sandwich itself.

I began by stenciling a hexagon pattern here and there on a sheet of white cardstock.

Next, I built up layers of elements from 49 & Market’s laser cut elements, inking some of them around the edges to add a bit of definition.

And that was it: quick, easy and simple!!!!

It's All About the Pumpkins

 

I’ve scrapped this photo, taken in 2016, before and it came to mind again when I saw the colors and images included in the October LE Kit from My Creative Scrapbook.

I couldn’t decide which piece of patterned paper to use as the base: Harvest from Photoplay’s Autumn Junque collection or Harvest Memories from the Autumn Breeze collection by Simple Stories. In the end, I used both, fussy cutting a lot of the latter and layering bits under the main center section.

The photo was backed with thick cardboard and glued to a slightly larger piece of Bazzill cardstock and then glued to a scrap from my last layout, with another bit of cardboard in between. I placed this on the base.

I cut a few ticket images from the Cozy Season sheet and tucked them here and there on the sides.

I finished my page with a few bits of ephemera and a couple of sticker pieces, using one as my title.
