Good times: DT layout for Stuck?! Sketches

February 1, 2017 By Janice Daquila-Pardo 2 Comments

Today Stuck?! Sketches launches our first challenge of February. Grab the sketch and play along for prizes from Charms Creations and Cuts2Luv.

The story

In the early 90s my brother was living in a borough near Pittsburgh called Wilkinsburg. On a pretty weekend sometime in 1992 (not sure what time of year, but our clothes make me think it was early spring), our family went by to pick up Mom’s Aunt Mary Lou and made a road trip to visit him there. We snapped these photos at a park near his apartment.

Product/technique notes

All the products I used were from the Fancy Pants Millie and June collection, except for the title, which is composed of American Crafts Thickers.

2 candles on the cake: DT layout for Stuck?! Sketches

Today Stuck?! Sketches launches our second challenge of January. Grab the sketch and play along for prizes from Creative Embellishments and Wycinanka.

The story

I was barely three when my bro turned two, so I was obviously as excited as (or more than) he was about the blowing out of the candles! Today is Phil’s 49th birthday, so happy birthday, Philly. I love you to a trillion skies and wish I could be there to help you with the candles this year.

Product/technique notes

I used products from an older Jillibean Soup birthday collection called Spotted Owl Soup. I created the title and the calendar header with my Silhouette.

Happy New Year! Today Stuck?! Sketches launches our first challenge of 2017. Grab the sketch and play along for prizes from Accent Scrapbooking and Charms Creations.

The story

My hubby turned 50 in early December, and I grabbed some shots of him opening gifts. You have to commemorate the big five-o, right?

Product/technique notes

I used product from an older Simple Stories birthday collection called Happy Day with some Jillibean Soup diecuts that coordinated well with the color scheme and theme. The circle is made of red crochet thread.

What happens under the mistletoe stays under the mistletoe: DT layout for Stuck?! Sketches

December 15, 2016 By Janice Daquila-Pardo 2 Comments

Today Stuck?! Sketches launches our second challenge of December! Grab the sketch and play along for prizes from Scrapmatts and The ScrapRoom store.

The story

Spenser and I shared many kisses, but none were as magical as this one under the mistletoe (Christmas 1992). 😉

Product/technique notes

The background patterned paper is from Echo Park’s Merry Christmas collection, and the other patterns are from Heidi Swapp’s Believe collection and American Craft’s Wish List 6×6 paper pad. The embellishments are from Pink Paislee’s Yuletide (the tags) and American Crafts (the Santa clothespin). The gift diecut I used behind the photos is from Silhouette. I wish you could see better in the photo that I brushed Wink of Stella clear glitter pen all over the ribbon top on it. It looks beautiful IRL.

Fa la la la la

I took piano lessons for many years, starting in early grade school. Although I don’t often sit down to play the piano much these days, I always break out the Christmas carol music books and limp through my favorites. It’s one of my Christmas traditions. In this photo taken on Christmas Day 2004, I was playing carols for my family, who had come to visit for the holiday.

Product/technique notes

I followed sketch 301 from Creative Scrappers and used products mostly from the Crate Paper Bundled Up collection. The cut-apart card is from Simple Stories December Documented, the glittered snowflakes are from K&Co, the label stickers are from Shimelle and Cosmo Cricket, and the ornament die cut is from BasicGrey Evergreen. I chose my supplies based on the Scrap O’Clock mood board below.
