Too cute to spook...

Hello! Today I am sharing a new layout featuring PaperPOPs which are handmade embellishments from Parker on the Porch sold exclusively by Paper Issues!

For this layout I used three different PaperPOP sets sold HERE, HERE & HERE!

Also, wiener dogs in wiener costumes? It seriously doesn't get any more cute!

I think this little ghost PaperPOP may be my favorite. He's definitely too cute to spook!

'Tis the Season...

Have you had the opportunity to check out the awesome holiday release from Color Cast Designs yet? I am so in love with this holiday release in both traditional and non traditional colors. 

I used the Merry & Bright, the This December (in red) and the Twinkling Lights sets on this two page layout of Christmas Eve from several years ago when Santa accidentally came when we were all still awake!

 

This bright and fun Christmas layout makes me so happy!

  

The accent wood words that come with the Christmas sets are also perfect for layering over photos from the holiday season!

 

This page actually has a flap that when opened hides 8 more photos and journaling underneath! 

 

And those Wonky Hearts? Aren't they awesome? They are available in both pink and red sets! 

 

The pink and blue acrylic looks so fun together with these papers from Crate paper.

Simple Stories Product Spotlight...

Hello! The Paper Issues design team is putting the spotlight on Simple Stories new Pumpkin Spice line today on the blog!

I designed another double-page layout using this line. I love my double-pages!

I layered the bits (die cuts), enamel dots, chipboard stickers and the bradz throughout my layout to draw your eye to specific photos.

Simple Stories has so many great embellishments with each of their lines! There is always so mych to choose from!

At the bottom of the page I used wallet sized photos and the 2x2 chipboard frames layered with bits (die cuts). I love how this came out! I am really enjoying the chipboard frame pack from this line!

Here I used the Expressions stickers, bits (die cuts), bradz and enamel dots. Clustering is totally my thing right now! Also, I love that the Simple Stories bradz are now sticky -- no more prongs!

 I used the Baxter collection from Studio Calico for this layout of my furbaby Nikki on Christmas Eve. It's a family tradition to play Texas Hold 'em on Christmas Eve and she was sitting on Anson's lap and fell asleep! Clearly she wasn't impressed with our poker game!

The simplicity of this layout is near perfection! The focus is definitely on the photo!

Scrap Lift Sunday Roundup...

Today I am sharing a collection of layouts from the lest several weeks of Scrap Lift Sunday inspiration posted each Sunday in the Paper Issues {Friends and Fans} Facebook Group.

I love being inspired by other creative women and a good lift never fails to get my scrap mojo flowing! 

For this first layout I used the Studio Calico Baxter collection for a lift inspired by Heather Joyce. 

 

I have had so much fun with the masculine line, So Rad, from Simple Stories inspired by Aleksandra Gadji.  

 

Sherri Funk's layout inspired this lift using Cedar Lane from Pink Paislee. 

Another lift inspired by Aleksandra Gadji using October Afternoon Summertime.

And finally, Jen Boumis inspired this layout using Cedar Lane from Pink Paislee.
