When Going Stops Going

The sun is finally shining here, after a dreary week and then getting a foot of snow in less than a day. Now, some of you truly northerners will say that's nothing for you, but we've been busting out spring wear since December so it was dramatic to say the least!

In those dark and dreary days I got a lot of scrapbooking done and all this sunshine means I can take some pictures and share them with you. 

This one is based on the Let's Get Sketchy Feb week 3 sketch.  

As soon as I saw the hexagons I wanted to play with MME Follow Your Heart. Then I had this feeling of being a little to copy cat because some of the design team used that line. So I busted out my Silhouette Cameo and made my own hexagon mask. I adhered it with my Repositionable Xyron. Misted, splattered, and removed the mask.  Then while all the bits were still on the carrier I misted those in another shade, and glued some back into the pattern. I hadn't used many of them so I stuck down some MME washi, and then piled up the tiny hexies and made "buttons" out of reverse side. The chevrons are the reverse side of that MME Follow Your Heart hexagon paper I was talking about. The heat embossed banner was stamped using Glitz Designs Love Games stamp set. More MME washi and a little heat embossing on the photo and I was pretty much done.

Jade 10 - untitled

Jade 10?! It doesn't seem like it's been 10 weeks already. Crazy.

The sketch this week for Scrapbooksteals.com MWM was by Kassandra, a Facebook fan page regular. I always  enjoy her work and was excited to get started on it ASANS (As Soon As Naptime Started).

Mmmm, so many MME scraps used here to make my hexagon and other shapes. I both hand-stitched using a WRMK Sew Easy Random head and used my sewing machine. There's WRMK washi and MME washi. And a couple of Kiwi Lane Templates helped make it happen. 


Instead of doing hidden journaling about the details regarding our little hospital visit pictured here, I wrote them in silver ink. The casual observer may not notice it and flip through quickly, and for that, hopefully, Vance will be slightly less embarrassed about this picture when his future girlfriends take a gander at the scrapbooks!
