Hi there, Lisa S here today to share a layout I created using the oh so pretty, Hello Lovely, Cocoa Vanilla collection. My daughter and her friends were attending a Black Out party and took this photo of them with their "cool" faces on...I just thought they looked so pretty!!
I love using the 3 x 4 cards on layouts...they sure make for a clean look! And those wood grain alpha stickers?? Swoon!!! The Flair? Oh man, I sort of wanted to hoard this one...how cute is it?? And the bows? Well, if you bought this line and are hoarding it, now's the time to use it!!!
Hope to see you sharing your layouts with Cocoa Vanilla!!

A few days ago in the Forum, we had a discussion about how we store our scraps. It got me thinking about it, because I really don't keep scraps...what do I do with them? Oh, yes, I make a quick card!
One of the reasons I don't have scraps for the Fancy Pants True Friend line is because instead of getting all 12 x 12 papers, I chose the 6 x 6 pad. It's a great way to get the whole range of papers without buying them all. And in 5 minutes flat I have a great multi use card. So don't pack away your scraps, use them up while they are still on your desk!
Hi there! Lisa here today to share my thought process as I'm shopping in the My Scraps and More Store. I almost always start with photos when I'm considering what to buy. Sometimes a collection just speaks to me (you all have seen my obsession with Crate Paper Open Book) but usually, I have photos "in cue" just waiting to be scrapped. My middle daughter, Jillian, and I visited some colleges earlier this month and it was super cold where we visited. This brand new Simple Stories Snow Fun line will be perfect for documenting the college visit in Colorado. I love that the collection kit comes with stickers and an alphabet, too. So easy to make great layouts that way!
These new Word Strips, also from Simple Stories, will be perfect for adding little bits of journaling.
This Snowflake Paper will be perfect to coordinate with the collection....
These cute Thickers will make for a great title mixed with the alphabet stickers in the kit.
And because I love to add more pictures to my layouts, I'm snagging some of these great Photo Flips to my cart as well. I can see myself using these a lot!!
So that's it for today, I hope you've enjoyed this look at my thought process when I'm shopping! Don't forget to add your coupon code for January, 20JAN15 for 20% off your full price items!!
If you have teenage girls like I do, you probably have storytellers. I don't mean that they aren't truthful, lol, just that they are actively telling their stories...through instagram, Snapchat, selfies and photos. I love to sneak the pictures off of their social media and get the stories told in the pages of our family albums. The Crate Paper Open Book line is so perfect for these kinds of stories. How cute is this portrait paper with the little eyeglasses? And these flowers I fussy cut from the year book paper...so cute. And the icing on the cake...the Bookmark paper with the perfect title.
It's all on sale today, too!! Run and grab it and tell your stories!
