warm colors of summer

Hi there!  This month on the Paper Camellia blog we were given this sketch to work with:

I loved all the little squares, but changed it up a bit.  I used the little paint chips from Maggie's Style Board Ephemera pack as my squares.  Check out the Paper Camellia blog for more details...

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.

Come On Get Crafty: sweet

 Hi there,  I am up on the Come On Get Crafty blog today with a little tutorial on how to use little bits and pieces to make a layout with an uneven grid pattern.  Here is the layout I made:

princess tea mini album

Hello!  I have been MIA this week it seems!  With the long weekend, back to school and my baby girl's birthday, my blog seemed to get put on the back burner.  That is OK.  I am back today with a little mini album I made for Epiphany Crafts during our product swap week with Punky Sprouts.  The two companies have great products that really compliment each other! 

I had a bunch of pictures that I had taken of my daughter at a Princess Tea Party put on by a local high school.  This fun Punky Sprouts album was a perfect fit!  I used Punky Sprouts parchment paper circles to make my flowers and topped them with Epiphany Crafts epoxies.   Click here for a few more details on this mini album.  

Here are my inside pages:

 I will be back soon with more of my creations!

A card for summer time:

And a little gift box:

This was cut on my silhouette.  Perfect for a small gift, or even a gift card.

I absolutely LOVE this yellow triangle paper!  So awesome... I know it is the B side of the paper, but still... I am in love! 

The A side is pretty cute too!

let the summer begin

Hello again!  Here is a layout using one of my most favorite lines this year, Crate Paper's the Pier.  Such beautiful colors.  And those chipboard frames??  May I never run out of them!  This layout was made for the Scrapbooking Studio.  To give me more room for these awesome embellishments, I went with a basic grid pattern.

Some close up shots:

This paper line is in the store now, so stop by the Scrapbooking Studio to pick some up!

summer mini album with Epiphany Crafts

Good Morning, 

Yesterday was my turn up on the Epiphany Crafts blog!  I have started a mini album for an annual trip that we take in August.  I thought if I could get it set up ahead of time, I'd have an easier time filling it in with pictures and journaling as I go.  We will see how that goes!  My cover is ready and that is a start!  I have used both Epiphany Crafts Round Tool 25 and 14, some bubble caps and Crate Paper's the Pier line to make my own circular embellishments.

This light blue patterned paper with the intersecting lines reminded me of a beach ball!  Perfect summer embellishment!

I hope this little mini album helps me stay organized while on our holiday this year!
