Rover by Bella Blvd

Ok, I have to admit, I am absolutely enamored with the new Rover line from Bella Blvd! I think this has to be one of my Top 10 favorite lines from Bella Blvd EVER! Srsly!I had so much fun playing with this line for Paper Issues Sketchy Saturday, Paper Issues Scraplift Sunday AND even a just-for-fun layout!

My first layout is for the current sketch up on the Paper Issues blog inspired by Stephanie Buice for Doodlebug Designs. This was such an awesome sketch and really got me out of my comfort zone in terms of designing a page layout! For this layout I used the the following patterned papers:  Borders, the B side of Dog Show, the A and B sides of Give a Dog a Bone,  the B side of Puppy Prints, and the Rover Treasures & Texts and Trinkets stickers! Those black and grey polka dot letters though -- stop it right now! I also sneaked in a little Color Cast Designs #thestruggleisreal wood veneer from the #Hashtagit set! Stop by the Paper Issues blog and check out all the details for this month's sketch including how you could win a $10 Paper Issues gift card!

Next up is probably my favorite layout that I did using the Rover line! This layout was inspired by Cassie Box for this week's ScrapLift Sunday over on the Paper Issues {Friends & Fans} Facebook page. Be sure to stop by and play along -- we love seeing how you are inspired by the design team layouts from Paper Issues!  For this layout I used the Rover Treasures & Texts and Trinkets stickers as well as the following patterned papers: Borders, the B side of Dog Show, Give a Dog a Bone, Loyal and Puppy Prints.

Finally, my last layout using Rover was a just-for-fun layout because I couldn't resist scrapping this photo of Olivia for one second longer! She is such a spoiled brat and knows it but she is my baby! I was on a mission to use up the Rover Treasures & Texts and Trinkets stickers before all my paper was gone! I did a lot of fun clustering on this layout and I especially love the kraft background here! For this one I used the following patterned papers: Borders, Dog Show, Give a Dog a Bone and Puppy Prints. I have been hoarding one last wood veneer doxie from Color Cast Designs and this was the lucky layout that I was holding out for! Be sure to check out all the wood veneer breed options over at the Color Cast Designs shop!

Summer Vibes Right Now

Hello! Today I am teaming up with some of the other design team ladies over on the Paper Issues blog for a Simple Stories Summer Vibes product spotlight!

As soon as I saw the Shine On patterned paper featuring the sun rays and bokeh I knew that I had to feature that print as my background!

This layout was screaming for some gold acrylic from Color Cast Designs (my favorite!) and I used the Summer Vibes chipboard frames to highlight the "right now" sentiment!

I love the Summer Vibes Bits & Pieces die cut pack! There is so much goodness in there! I used the "<3 this" speech bubble, the little scalloped edge border with the heart and the "Hello There, Summer" banner from the die cut pack! Truth be told, I wanted to use, like, 47 more of the die cuts but I had to restrain myself! Also, pictured more closely below are the new acrylic Iridescent Stars from Color Cast designs. These have quickly become one of my new favorites!

Another one of my must-haves from any Simple Stories line is the expressions sticker sheet! I cannot resist the multiple alphabets AND the expressions on each sheet!

Thank you so much for stopping by to take a look!

Two-Fer Tuesday at Paper Issues

Hello! I am up on the Paper Issues blog today with another double-page layout for Two-Fer Tuesday! For this layout I used Chickaniddy Crafts 365 -- I am so in love with this line!

For this layout I used Chickaniddy 365 and the Color Cast Designs "Embellish Me, Neutral" set and the #hello from the "#hashtagit" set! 

For my sister's graduation party from UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine I ordered 30 balloons in her school colors and couldn't help myself from having a little fun with all of those balloons! You can't help but be happy and goofy with 30 balloons!

Of course, no layout is complete without a bow lately!

I love these wood veneer phrases from Color Cast, they make such great little embellishments that can really be used for so many different themes and the frames in this set are also great for layering! 

Thank you stopping by to take a look today!
