Hey there.  Today I am up on the Come On Get Crafty blog with this fun little layout and some tips on using scrapbooking frames or overlays.  Stop on by the blog to read more! 

I love using bright colors against a white background!

oh, what fun!

I have not been a good blogger lately.  I am far, far behind with sharing layouts.  One day I will get back on track.  Maybe not now, but soon.  For the meantime, here is a layout from the December Paper Camellia kit. 

 I love the Crate Paper patterned papers in the Bundled Up line.

Chic Tags sketch challenge - Christmas 2012

Good morning... Another quick post today!  There's a new sketch Challenge up on the Chic Tags blog this week.  Stop by and check it out.  We would love it if you'd play along!  Here is my take on the sketch... I LOVE the Good Tidings collection.

home for Christmas

The December challenge on the Chic Tags blog is up.  It is to use something shiny on your project.  I dug in to my Good Tidings collection and added little bits of gold paper, sticker letters and some washi tape for my shiny pieces.  I just went with an uneven grid pattern which provided spaces for all my little bits and embellishments.

all time best Cousins

It's almost the end of the month and I haven't yet posted this layout that I made as guest designer for Citrus Twist Kits.  This one has sort of a simple design with the recurring hexagon throughout.  Lots of layering too.  It was quite fun to make!

I made a big pie chart to document our trip in June.  The little puffy pie chart stickers were a perfect embellishment.  Each photo was anchored down with a little sparkly candy from Skipping5

Here is a close up picture of my pie chart.  I cut it directly into the background paper of my layout.

I love the colors of these little square paper candies!

Hi there,  I haven't been around much this week with getting my kids back to school.  I am hoping that means I can soon fall in to a routine myself with blogging and scrapbooking layouts.  I am up on the Bella Blvd blog today with this layout that uses Playdate, a brand new Bella line.  The colors in this line are super fun and bright.  

I added a little bit of interest to this card by hand stitching along the lines of the sun rays and then sticking some buttons randomly on top.

Of course, I always add a little bit of machine stitching too when I can...

hello canada's wonderland + bella blvd reveal #1

Hi there.  Today I have a layout that's a little different for me, I've used circular photos!  Still loving this Crate Paper line, the Pier!   I am so thrilled to get to work with it this month for the Scrapbooking Studio.

To tie in with my circular photos, I have also used circular embellishments.... the ferris wheel, the cotton candy die cut, a chipboard button and the sequins.

To see more layouts with circular photos, check out the Practical Scrappers site today!
