Sketch Inspired...

Hello! There is a new sketch up on the Paper Issues blog designed by Amy Coose. Such a great sketch with so many possibilities!

 

I played along using the Wish Season line from Fancy Pants! This line has so many embellishments and I loved working with these colors coupled with the snow day photos!

Die cuts, flair badges, diction stickers, chipboard, puffy stickers - this line had it all!

The papers are great for both snow days or Christmas!

Thank you so much for stopping by to take a look! Don't forget to add your take on the sketch to the challenge thread in the Paper Issues {Friends & Fans} group on Facebook!

Pinspired in January...

Hello ladies! I am playing along with the first Pinspire me of 2016 and I absolutely LOVE this Pinterest mood board compiled by Mary-Ann Maldonado! It's stunning!

I used the Bo Bunny Altitude line from last winter for my layout of the kids making snow angels at Apple Hill a few years ago!

The Color Cast Designs acrylic snowflakes from the Let it Snow set where perfect for this layout!

Monkeying Around...

In the spirit of Scrap Lift Sunday I am sharing a layout that I lifted for another scrap lift this month inspired by Mary-Ann Maldonado.

You can play along each week for Scrap Lift Sunday as well as all of the other Paper Issues monthly challenges RIGHT HERE!

For this layout I used Photo Play Autumn Day collection and Tinaldo Kraft Color Woodgrain 12x12 cardstock.

These photos of Connor in action on the monkey bars are some of my favorite photos of this kid!

 I scattered the Autumn Day stickers around my photos and my patterned papers -- I love all the little leaves!

'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.

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.

Family...

I really did crush on the Harvest collection from Pebbles this year! It was such a great collection!

 

The wood buttons and phrase stickers from the Imaginisce Give Thanks collections matched Pebbles perfectly!

The colors in this line were the perfect, vibrant, fall hues! I cannot get enough...

I linked this layout up to the Pebbles Harvest collection product spotlight challenge, one of the September challenges in the Paper Issues {Friends and Fans} Facebook group!

Six, yes SIX, Christmas sets in two different color schemes! A Halloween set! AND a Thanksgiving set! 

On my layout below I used elements from the Merry& Bright set as well as the coordinating nesting hearts paired with the new Pinkfresh Studio, Christmas Wishes line. 

 It is super fun that Jessica used non-traditional colors in her Christmas sets including teal and pink!

This frame and sentiment pictured below are from the Pinkfresh die cut pack, as are the adorable deer die cuts below.

The "trimming the tree" sentiment is also from the Merry & Bright set from Color Cast.

Hello Autumn...

Hello! I'm sharing another fall layout using the Color Cast Designs September releases. On this layout I use both the Crisp Air and Harvest sets paired with the Harvest collection from Pebbles.

I also used the giant ampersand in the coordinating fall colors on this layout. These ampersands are absolute perfection!

Paired with the wood buttons and phrase stickers from Imaginicse -- all of these colors come together perfectly.

I layered together the "OCT," "harvest" and that tiny pumpkin all from Color Cast Designs on the bottom right of my layout to add balance.

The "hello" and "autumn" script phrases are also from the Harvest set.
