Planner Addict in the Making...

Have you played along with the current Issue over on the Paper issues blog for a chance to win? 

Our December issue is a real hoot! Owl I Want for Christmas will run through 1/3/16, giving you plenty of time to add your project(s) to the link up. 

So what is Owl I Want for Christmas all about? Here are a few ideas to get you started (use one or use them all). 
Feel free to use any product you'd like.
Show us your projects about December holidays and/or your holiday traditions.
Share a project with an owl on it.
What's on your holiday wish list?
Has a child in your life lost any teeth (that may be all they want for Christmas)? Show us those cute toothless smiles or projects about the Tooth Fairy. 

I played along this month using my new Plum Paper Planner! That's right, I am caving to the PLANNER MADNESS!! 

 

Clearly peer pressure got the best of me and BOOM...my first decorated planner layout!


I used bits and pieces from the new Simple Stories Carpe Diem line as well as planner stickers from Craftcake Designs. Elaine Davis sponsored the Fall Crop over at Paper Issues and I just had to order some of her stickers and I am so glad that I did!! They are seriously delicious! 



Of course, no planner is perfected without a PaperPOP sold exclusively at Paper Issues and hand made by Parker on the Porch!  This little owl was one of my favorites from the winter release!

Happy Holidays Cut File...

There is a brand new cut file live in the Paper Issues shop today and I have played along with the new cut file on the Paper Issues blog today with the rest of the design team!

 
I played along using the Pinkfresh Studio Christmas Wishes line and this adorable photo of Olivia being cute (aka begging for food).

 

 This little mouse die cut is probably my favorite! He is just so cute!


 That penguin? Apparently, I am a sucker for critters! I also really love the rubber charm stickers from this line ("Warm Winter Wishes")!


 I cut this cute Christmas bear out of another sheet of patterned paper and the word phrases are from the die cut pack!


 I cut the Happy Holiday's banner out of this patterned paper using my Silhouette and this month's FREE cut file. I used a grey pen to trace the cut file in order to make it stand out better against my layout.


 This check naughty or nice die cut is too perfect for Olivia, who can certainly be a naughty little thing! The enamel star sticker was a favorite embellishment from this line's rubber charm pack!

Sketchy Saturday...

Hello, today I am playing along with the December Sketch from Paper Issues! Check out the full blog post to see what all of the Design Team girls did with this sketch!

This month's sketch is based on this awesome layout designed by Kim Watson for Fancy Pants. You can check out more awesome crafty goodness from Kim on her: 




 These photos are of the 8 week old foster puppies that we had for two days. Jaxson appointed himself puppy keeper and took his duties very seriously!


I used both the die cuts and the title element stickers from the B-Side collection on this layout. 


Plus a faux leather bow from an older Dear Lizzy collection -- bows on all the things!


Thank you for stopping by to take a look today. Don't forget to check out all of the Paper Issues sketches RIGHT HERE!

Dear Lizzy's Documentary Collection...


Today I am sharing three projects that I have done recently with this collection.

The first layout was a just for fun layout inspired by various layouts I have pinned! 


The second layout was inspired by Mary-Ann Maldonado's ScrapLift Sunday Layout which you can see in the November challenge album in the Paper Issues {Friends & Fans} Facebook group.
 

My third project is a birthday card inspired by Corri Garza's November card sketch!
