S'More Fun with PaperPOPs!

Hello! Today I am sharing a fun layout from a family camping trip we took in 2013 to Ice House Resivoir! The BEST part of camping is obviously the s'mores! We actually FORGOT the chocolate for our s'mores when packing and had to make an emergency stop at the local camp store to stock up. Can anybody say $3 candy bar...? LOL

For this layout I used the Campout line from Bella Blvd's last release and the adorable smiling s'more is an exclusive Paper Issues PaperPOP made by Parker on the Porch!

I am IN LOVE with these dang wood dots from My Mind's Eye. They came out in a line a few years ago and I literally bought 8 packs to hoard!

I mean, really...I can't even.

This kid for sure loves him a s'more!

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!

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!

Four Legged Birthday Boy...

I love the ScrapLift Sunday feature over on the Paper Issues {Friends & Fans} Facebook page!  It is such a great way to put together a fast layout based on awesome inspiration from the Paper Issues Design Team!

This week's inspiration comes from Jana's Summer layout!

I used the Chickaniddy 365 line for these photos of Jaxson in his first-birthday party hat! 

Jana's hand cut letters really inspired me to leave my comfort zone! I never hand cut letters but I truly love how this turned out! 

And look at that face! Can you even...? This handsome baby boy is just the sweetest, even if he didn't like his party hat!

Thank you for stopping by and taking look! We hope that you play along with us on Facebook each week for great inspiration!

I used a lot of scraps from my bin for this LO and then added a bunch of goodies from my stash including some K.I. Memories glitter star charms, and sparkle enamel dots, a Bella Blvd felt bow, an October Afternoon label and some silver glitter Thickers!

The real star of the show is the fire works cut file! I taped scraps of paper onto the back of my layout to give them color!

I have been working with the Life Documented line from Simple Stories lately and I am loving it! It is such a great basic line that can be used for most anything!

I used patterned papers from Life Documented as well as the chipboard, bradz and clips! I also added some woodgrain chipboard stars from Studio Calico and the star and arrow shaped paper clips from Freckled Fawn as well as some Simple Stories label stickers!

This is the first time I have worked with Chickaniddy product and I love the quality and texture of their paper - it is absolutely luscious! 

I added some of the enamel triangles and keys from the line as well as cutting some banners from the Cloud 9 patterned paper. 

I also added in some of the Oreo and White Little Bits stickers from Bella Blvd as well as a few of the stickers from the Just Add Color Trinkets.
