The Scrapbook Store | Too Cute..

Hello Friends.  I am sharing with you today my last project using my May DT kit from The Scrapbook Store.  I really had a great time creating with this fabulous Pink Paislee Cottage Farms collection!  And even though it has plenty of pink in it.. It didn't stop me from creating a boyish layout! *grin*

 

"Too Cute"

 

products used: cs - Kaisercraft; pp - Pink Paislee Cottage Farms; other - Pink Paislee: paper pack ephemera, packaging; tools - machine stitching, typewriter.

You may have also noticed that I have used the strip of paper that provides the paper product information.  I wanted to draw out more of the orange tones from the other patterned papers rather than the pink, but it also helps that there is a block of brown on the paper strip as well.



I think I have already mentioned in previous blog posts, how much I love this ephemera paper goods pack from Pink Paislee.  There are so many detailed pieces that come in the pack.  I love these circle elements used on my page and how they have formed a visual triangle around my photo.  I also love how each element can be layered with complete ease and doesn't detract from the layers below or above it.



If you would like to get your hands on some of these beautiful Pink Paislee products, just visit here at The Scrapbook Store.  Thanks for visiting..x

 

The Scrapbook Store | ...

Happy Monday Friends.  Today I am sharing another layout created from my The Scrapbook Store DT kit.  Lots of lovely Pink Paislee Cottage Farms goodness!

 

"adventure"

products used: cs - Kaisercraft; pp - Pink Paislee Cottage Farms; alpha - BasicGrey; other - Pink Paislee: ephemera pack, Jillibean Soup twine, glimmermist, shimmerz, toothpick; tools - silhouette portrait.

This layout is an homage to the many family day trips we take together.  We love to explore our local area.  Especially the nearby National Parks.  I have included my journaling, hidden on the lined patterned paper.  And since we are still in the month of May (and Mother's Day!) I have found a rare photo that has me in it!  LOL!! Cam and I are actually playing in a beautiful, clear mountain stream, and let me tell you!!! It was freezing!  LOL!

 

The Pink Paislee paper ephemera pack is quite gorgeous with all of the bits and pieces!  I love that they are so versatile.  All those extra bits from my kit will be making their way into my PL spreads!  *grin*  If you would like to see more of this collection before it is all sold out, please visit The Scrapbook Store here.  Thanks for visiting..x

The Scrapbook Store | You + Me...

Hello Friends!  I'm back today to share with you another layout I created for my Mother's Day tribute this month.  I was thrilled when I saw this gorgeous DT kit from The Scrapbook Store, made up of the beautiful Pink Paislee Cottage Farms collection.  And even though I LOVE the pink, I did feel daunted by the task ahead of me... These patterned papers were not necessarily what I would have immediately chosen for myself! *grin*  However, I am so glad I got to play with them.

 



"You + Me"

 

products used: cs - bazzill, Kaisercraft; pp - Pink Paislee; alpha - BasicGrey; other - Pink Paislee burlap flower, ephemera pack; Amy Tan clear stamps, Green Tara mini roses, Greatest View chalk board badge/flair & sequins, textured paste, mist, ink; tools - Jo Sonja paints, machine stitching, black pen, small circle punch, The Crafter's Workshop circle template.



This layout is a general reflection on how I feel about being a mother to these four children.  *grin*  I am so thankful for the opportunity because motherhood wasn't anything I initially aspired to.  They have taught me a lot over the years.

Something a little bit different for me.  And I think I fell in love with these stunning Burlap flowers!!  *swoon*  (you will see more of them on other upcoming projects!) So if you like the look of these patterned papers or even the gorgeous flowers, head on over to The Scrapbook Store and check out what they have in stock.  Be warned however, they are disappearing fast!
