Special Guest: Monica Bradford from Scrap Inspired
Hi! I’m Monica Bradford from scrapinspired.com and I’ve hijacked Windy’s blog today to share a
little inspiration with you! Don’t worry Windy still has plenty of inspiration
to share as well. In fact today she is over at my site with a gorgeous new card.
Why is she over there and I’m over here? Well today we have
decided to do an inspiration blog swap. I have chosen one of Windy’s beautiful
cards to inspire a scrapbook layout. And Windy chose one of my layouts to
inspire a card. Fun right? So let the inspiration begin!
I was immediately drawn to Windy’s “Sending Hugs” card. I loved the bold colors combined with a Kraft background. I also loved
the way Windy layered the papers and added a bit of stitching detail. And her
use of a bold pattern combined with a bit of shine…stunning! Those elements
were what I kept in mind as I began designing my layout.
After choosing which of Windy’s cards I wanted to use as my
inspiration I went looking for photos that would work with that color palette.
This recent shot of my boys with their cousins seemed like a perfect fit. I
printed the photo out at 5x7 so that it would be the main focal point of my
layout.
Of course I started with a kraft background and then went
searching for some patterned papers. I knew I wanted to stick with the yellow
color from Windy’s card but after that I just went with what I had in my stash.
I even found a fun floral print, but since I’m scrapping my boys I kept the
print small and as the background layer rather than placing it in the
forefront.
Underneath the photo I used letter stickers to add my title
and a saying. I just love how those clear letter stickers look like they are a
part of the heart paper underneath!
This little kraft journaling card was a perfect way to bring
some of the kraft color onto the front of the page, like Windy did in her card.
And it was a great way to create space for my story so it wouldn’t have to
compete with the busy background underneath.
I loved the way Windy’s card included so many little details
such as the stitching, the sequins, and the overall shimmer. I added some of
those details to my scrapbook layout in my own way. I too added stitching, and
I brought in the shimmer by spraying the wood veneer pieces with some gold
spray mist. Who says a boy page can’t have a bit of shine?!!
Thanks so much for letting me share with you today! I hope
you enjoyed the inspiration blog swap. If you’d like to see more of what I do
you can visit me at http://scrapinspired.com.
I now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.
I hope you have a wonderfully inspired day!
Monica

Zva Creative July DT Blog Hop!
Hi friends! Its time for another Zva blog hop! Zva Creative and my fellow Design Team members welcome you to our July blog hop! We are excited happy you are joining us and look forward to sharing our new work with you!

Today I created a card that shows Zva's beautiful two tone pink flourish. I think it is a perfect accent to these hand made water color flowers. To create the card I covered a card base with denim canvas and added a die cut overlay to add some texture. After creating the spiral flowers from water colored paper I add them to the card with satin ribbon and embellished with the Zva flourish. Then I added the letterpress die cut sentiment.

Missing You Already...
Hi friends! Just dropping in with a card I made to share here on the blog. Gasp! I know that hasn't happened in quite some time, but after nearly completely clearing my plate of most of my crafty endeavors I finally had some time this past weekend to just sit down and create for fun. It was WONDERFUL!
Anyway, I used one of my favorite stamps called Stinkin Cute from Simon Says Stamp's newest releases. My kids call it a squirrel, but its actually a skunk. Isn't he cute?
Anyway, I used one of my favorite stamps called Stinkin Cute from Simon Says Stamp's newest releases. My kids call it a squirrel, but its actually a skunk. Isn't he cute?
Its a pretty easy card to create. I used Spellbinder's Card Creator dies to make the card and white base for the stamped image and sentiment. After stamping the skunk I colored him using water mixed with Artisan ink. Then I had to go over the white parts with a white Signo pen (mostly to cover up where I painted outside of the lines;) and lastly added pink to the hearts and pearl accents over the white spots. Then I made the "That Stinks" sign and hot glued it to a portion of a paper straw (never used those before on a card... kind of fun). To finish you simply embellish with some ribbon & trim.
Well that's it for this card. The girls & I are off to go see the new Monster's University movie... its $5 Tuesday at our theatre:) Hope you have a great one!
