Jillibean Soup | Foam Stickers...

Hello Friends! Today I am sharing a creative way to use foam stickers! How much fun is it when we can add our own twist to standard products?! This layout was created for Jillibean Soup but I wanted to add a little something extra to the foam sticker title.

Jot Magazine | November Mood Board...

Hello Everyone! Up on the new look Jot blog today, November's inspirational mood board has been released!  It has fresh and vibrant colours, chosen by the very lovely Kim Jeffress. Have a little look-see!

These colours are so beautiful together that I immediately pulled out anything that was either yellow or pink, from my stash, and just started layering..!

 

"Happiness"

products used: cs - American Crafts; pp - Bella Blvd, Scraptastic Club, Elle's Studio;  other - Bella Blvd stickers, enamel dots, Stampin' Up clear acetate 3x4 pocket page card; tools - foam tape.

It' s a bit had to tell with this photo, but I've used a clear acetate 3x4" pocket page card from Stampin' Up (it has the stars on it). I mounted the clear layer with foam tape and then added the butterfly (cut from my silhouette) on to it. The shadows enhance the illusion that the butterfly is floating above the actual card.

The Jot Girls really have created amazing projects this month! I hope you will come along and visit the blog for more inspiration and hopefully play along with us too! Thanks for visiting..x

Bella Blvd | Free for All...

Hello Friends!  Sorry for the lack of blogging lately.  I've been neither here nor there and ultimately just plain busy with everyday stuff.  Of course it doesn't help when the kids are sick right along side of hubby.  Someone has to pick up the slack right?! LOL!

Anyway... Over on the Bella Blvd blog recently I shared this PL2015 spread. I broke out the gorgeous Illustrated Faith | Whatever is Lovely collection and decided I could use it on my pages to help me document.

I keep saying how versatile any of the Bella Blvd collections are, and truly it really is applicable.  Who thought I could add a Bible Journaling product to PL spreads, mostly about my boys and their hockey??!! *grin*

Of course, I've mixed in other collections too - such as Family Frenzy, but predominately, most product is from Whatever is Lovely.

If you want to catch up on my thought process, please head on over to the Bella blog here.  Thanks for visiting today...x

Bella Blvd | What's New Wednesday...

Hello Friends!  Today I am sharing another fun project created for Bella Blvd using the awesome new Color Chaos collection.

 

"A Day At The Museum"

 

products used: Color Chaos: Blueberry Strandz, Ice Strandz, McIntosh Strandz, Bell Pepper Strandz; Campout: Treasures & Text, Arrows Clear Cut; Amorie Chipboard Alpha: White; High Five Alpha Stickers: Brown-Cream; Ciao Chipboard: Symbols, WhatNots; Enamel Dots: Oreo Black

 

When creating this layout, I took inspiration from the colours in the clothes my son was wearing. After all, this is a layout about him and I wanted the focus to be drawn to the photo first.

 

 

 

From there I added a bold pop of red to create a visual triangle which includes the three main elements on my page - title, photo & journaling. As my page is already quite busy with the strong choice of patterned papers, the Clear Cut transparency beneath my photo was ideal to create a little extra interest without the extra clutter. I also love that the words that are visible on the Clear Cut, relate back to the story I am documenting.

 

 

Thanks for visiting today. And for those who are wanting to inject a little colour into their scrapping creativity, Color Chaos is now available over in the Sassy Scrapper shop. You can find it here.

Bella Blvd | Project Life Week 6...

Hi Everyone! I just wanted to share my Project Life | Week Six which was up on the Bella Blvd blog this past month.  I had such a fun time creating this spread and it comes down to two main reasons. 1. I played with the gorgeous new Color Chaos collection (now available from Sassy Scrappers) and 2. It was my birthday week.  And I had a great time celebrating!

 

"Week Six"

 

products used:  Color Chaos: Orange Strandz, Peep Strandz, Gulf Strandz, Daily Details, Trinkets; Kiss Me: Alphas+Bits, Borders & Cute Cuts; Snapshots: Everyday Book Plates; Ciao Chipboard: Symbols; Simply Sienna Chipboard Alphas: Saltwater; High Five Alpha Stickers: Black-White; Enamel Dots: Guacamole

Scraptastic Club | Pinterest Monday..

Hi there!  I feel like I've been a stranger around these parts lately.  Sorry for the absence but with a household of sick children for the last two weeks, sometimes blogging gets put on the back burner! LOL!

 

Today I am sharing a layout created for Scraptastic Club | Pinterest Monday.  Shellye McDaniel and I conspired together and found a gorgeous image on Pinterest.

 

 

 

"You are Nine"



 

products used: Scraptastic Club Kit - This Must Be The Place; Add on - This Must Be The Place; wood veneers - This Must Be The Place; tools - typewriter, circle punches.

 

 

I have used several sizes of circle punches and trimmed to create a straight edge across the punched patterned paper.  I have then overlapped the patterned paper from the This Must Be The Place kit (January) to create a similar design as seen in the Pinterest Inspiration.

To make it easier to line all the paper pieces together, I cut a thin strip of cardstock and adhered the circles to it before adding them to the final layout.  This also allowed me to easily adjust the placement around my photo, title and journaling.

 

Thanks for visiting! I hope I have shared a little inspiration to help you keep the mojo flowing.  Perhaps your next project will include a few arched and layered lines..x
