Baby Jaxson...

Hello! Today I am sharing a layout inspired by the April 1, 2015 sketch from Stuck Sketches! I used the Elle's Stuido Cienna collection for this baby picture of Jaxson! Since he's still a little baby here, I sneaked some pink papers in even though he is a boy -- LOL!

I paired the wood veneer with the stickers from the collection for my title! I like to mix my titles up with different elements.

OMG -- this face! I cannot resist it. When I went to the shelter to look at this liter of puppies Jaxson was sound asleep on the bottom of the puppy pile and I knew I had to have him!

Right now I am loving when collections include phrase stickers. I love these! They are so easy to pop up and layer onto your projects for added texture!

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

Stuck Sketches Inspired...

Hello! Today I am sharing a LO inspired by the April 15th Sketch from Stuck Sketches!

Using Elle's Studio Cienna and this adorable photo of Olivia I interpreted the sketch quite literally! 

 

This line from Elle's is one of my most favorite! I love them die cut pack - it made this page come together really easily!

I also used some stamps from SugarPea Designs to stamp on the yellow Elle's 3x4 card that I cut down above. This layout also works perfect for the current Link Party over on the Paper Issues blog!

Thank you for stopping by to take a look today!

This Moment. Right Now...

Elle's Cienna is by far my favorite line from Elle's to date! I love the soft colors and how perfectly well this line, although Valentine's day theme inspired, really works with so many themes!

For this double page layout I started with a blank white background as my canvas and I really wanted to keep the focus on these gorgeous photos by Ford Family Photography of my sister's gorgeous family!

I added pops of the Cienna patterned papers to border my photos using a 2 1/2" circle punch.

Then I picked through the embellishments from the line, my beloved collection of paper bows and some of my Color Cast Designs wood veneers to embellish here and there as I saw fit!

I love how this page came out!

Thank you for stopping by and taking a look today!

Swag Bag-alicious...

I am a relatively new Paper Issues Swag Bag convert! I got my first Swag Bag in February and I was pleasantly surprised with all of the bits and bobs included in the bag! I got a great deal of mileage out of February's bag with four 12x12 LOs! Ladies...that's FOUR layouts for $7.99!! ($9.99 less 20% with the code "Becky"!). You seriously CANNOT beat that deal!

Today I am sharing this layout of Connor and Olivia cuddling on the couch! Our pups love nothing more than a stinky little boy. Stinky little boys are their favorite!!

 

The papers, mini cork heart, exclusive acrylic blue "love," and the "We go together like" banner are all from the February Swag Bag and then I added some cork shapes from my stash as well as the heart paper clip and the red LOVE from Color Cast Designs Reflections set.

Thank you so much for dropping by and taking a look today!

My Heart & Soul...

I just love Echo Park's Lucky in Love line by Allison Kreft! I have really gotten my money's worth from this line -- I used every little scrap!

I put together this layout of Olivia sneak attacking me with kisses from over the back of the couch! I just love this pup!

 The Heart & Soul card is from Elle's Hello 2015 Calendar Tag set!
