My Happy Place Scrapbooking Sketch & PaperHaus Magazine Blog Hop

It must be the season for hops! I've got two going on right now here on my blog. If you're looking for the Lily Bee Design Blog Hop, check this one out first and then visit the post below (or it might be two below). 

Welcome to the PaperHaus Spring Fling Blog Hop! 

Today we're celebrating the release of the Spring Issue of PaperHaus Magazine! There's a ton of amazing projects and inspiration in it. You can download a copy of it HERE. Get the latest inspiration and stay up to date on upcoming calls by liking PaperHaus on Facebook. Speaking of Spring, I'm loving the weather and the fact that we can be out & about having fun outdoors again. We've been spending a lot of time at the local parks, going on bike rides, etc.  

I'm sharing this layout I created of my youngest daughter testing out her new bicycle. While this photo was taken in October, it reminds me of the warmer Spring weather so I was definitely in the mood to scrap it.

Pretty Painterly Paper (35973) - Lucky Charm, Noteworthy Paper (35963) - Lucky Charm, Junk Drawer (35968) - Lucky Charm, Bright Bauble Paper (35970) - Lucky Charm, Lucky Coin Paper (35978) - Lucky Charm, This & That Paper (35960) - Lucky Charm, Printed Chipboard Shapes (85655) - Lucky Charm, Die-cut Cards (85649) - Lucky Charm, Amy Tangerine roller date stamp, Roller Date Stamp (59162) - Lucky Charm, Studio Calico Mr Hueys mists.



I mitered distressed strips of paper layers into a diagonal "V" offset slightly on the page. Some have vellum layered on top and others have vellum layered underneath. I then stitched over each strip.

I'm apparently addicted to vellum again. I love that it can be used to add another dimensional layer and also tone down portions of the papers to make other elements pop. My journaling is located here on the blue tag (on white paper that is hidden).

GIVEAWAY!

I'm giving away some of my Little Yellow Bicycle stash to one lucky person who follows my blog and leaves me a comment telling me what the weather is like where you are right now! You have until midnight March 7th to do this as well as complete the hop. I will announce a winner shortly after the blog hop ends.

Your next stop along the hop is to my super talented IRL friend, Diana Fisher. I've also included the full blog hop list below. You're more than halfway through (unless you are starting the hop here)!!!
