My Creative Time Design Team Day!

Welcome crafty friends. Today is another design team day with Emma over at My Creative Time. She asked us all to use her stamp set "Camera Shy" for our project. I must admit that I have fallen in LOVE with the Kate's ABC cartridge. I think this image is SO sweet and perfect for this sentiment. All of the cuts for this card come from the Kate's ABC cartridge including the background shape.

I did combine two of Emma's stamps for the sentiment. 'Simply Beautiful' is from her Camera Shy set and the 'You are' is part of the sentiment 'you are my hero' from her Happy Homecoming set. I just masked off the 'my hero' part and stamped it where I wanted it. I hope you will drop by Emma's blog to see what she and the other design team members have made.

I also want to remind you to keep dropping by Pam's blog as she is having a giveaway every day this week for her birthday! I'm also very happy and honored to say that I will be guest designing for her Friday (on her actual birthday). Click HERE to go to Pam's blog.

My Creative Time's Design Team Day using a sketch

Hello and thanks for dropping by. For today's design team post Emma gave a sketch to work with and we were to create either a layout or a card. Here is the sketch we had to work with:

So I had this idea to make a LO and everything evolved from there. This is the part of my layout that looks like the sketch:



Here is the picture of the whole LO. You can click on the pictures if you would like to see them zoomed in a little more.

The Mickey ribbon going across is supposed to be a 'camera strap.' I also had a lot of fun making my own background paper. I used my HUGE acrylic block from Market Street Stamps and layered EVERY stamp from Emma's Camera Shy stamp set in a rectangular pattern. I added just a couple of small stamps from the Mom You Rock and You're My Best Buddy stamp sets to even things out. Then I inked it up and stamped it on my background. It took 4 times inking it up and stamping it to cover the entire red paper. I LOVED how it turned out. For the white background I used the "Seeing Spots" Cuttlebug embossing folder. I also stamped the 'capture a moment in time...' stamp repeatedly around the border of my photo mat.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you have a wonderful day.
