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!

Thank you for stopping by to take a look today!

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!
