Making Butter | Paper Issues 30 Days of Sketches - Day 14

Well, I'm almost halfway through my mission of completing all 30 Days of Sketches at Paper Issues. Here's my layout for sketch 14:

Here's the sketch. I flipped it because of the orientation of the photos.

Here are some details. I was looking through my stash and came across Photoplay's Stuck on You collection, and there were jars on the sticker sheet, which I decided would be perfect for a butter-making layout. I think the fabric covered brads are by BasicGrey. I was also happy to use some buttons from my gazillion-button supply.

That cream label came from a very old sheet of October Afternoon diecuts. Score for using old stash again!

I added some stamped phrases to the pictures. The "get in my belly" is one of my favorite stamps!

Speaking of old stash, I used some Heidi Swapp chipboard letters. Embarrassing how many packs of those I still have! But they still look awesome, even if I did put them on a little crooked.

I hope you'll come play with us. Sketches are so much fun and a great way to get pages done quickly or give you a kick-start when your mojo's gone missing.

It's a Lovely Day {Paper Issues/Page Maps collaboration}

I'm super-excited to share that Paper Issues and PageMaps are teaming up this month! Here's what I created:

and the fun sketch Becky sent me to work with:

Here are some details. Most everything on this page is from Photo Play's Stuck on You collection.

I added a couple of enamel dots from my stash onto the clouds for a little dimension.

The black and white floral piece was fussy- cut from the journaling card paper. 

This is such a lovely collection, and Stacie even created a free cut file to go with this collection. While you're taking a peek at free cut files, check out the awesome goodies for sale in the shop. Use my code, Debbi (no e on the end), and you'll receive 20% off your entire order!

Stuck on You {Paper Issues Scraplift Sunday Challenge}

So, I've said before how much fun it is to scraplift so I can try out someone else's style, and Paper Issues has a new one every Sunday. Here's my most recent scraplift:

And here's Damaris's awesome page I scraplifted:

Here are some details. I went pretty clean and simple with my page. I used Photoplay's Stuck on You collection. I used the cut-apart cards in the collection for the top left and bottom right quadrants.

I needed something for the journaling quadrant from Damaris' layout, and I almost went with another cut-apart card, but then I thought about that Huey Lewis song, and I typed up the chorus and used that. And of course I've had that song stuck in my head ever since!

How awesome is this cactus cut file? It's a part of the Stuck on You Cactus free cut file in the Paper Issues store. 

The Paper Issues store still has a lot of pieces from this collection. While you're there, check out the free cut files and all the stuff in the store, and if you use my code, Debbi (no e on the end), you'll receive 20% off your entire purchase!
