Hey there scrappy friends!
Lisa here to share a layout today.
Have you heard of the new scrappy company PhotoPlay? They have 2 collections out and they are available in the My Scraps & More Store! wait until you see them, they are gorgeous!
PhotoPlay sent the DT here a collection to work with and I received the Autumn Day Kit. I love this kit! It is full of fun fall colors!

I used the Autumn Day Plaid Paper for my background and added some watercolors. Then I added a few layers behind my photo:



Here are some close ups:

 

I love the adorable foxes in this collection. I fussy cut this one, the leaves and the trees out of the Autumn Day Foxes Paper.

 

 

The autumn card was cut from the Autumn Day Damask Paper:

 

Here I used some of the fun stickers from the Autumn Day Element Sticker Sheet and popped them up using foam tape:

Believe and 2 Christmas Cards.

Hello and good morning...

Happy Tuesday!!! We just had a long weekend and so it's back to the grind for us today.

Where we are at, our temps are still in summer mode, but I got to switch gears and go into winter mode with the latest Dear Santa collection from Photoplay Paper. I broke out a photo from two years ago Christmas of the kids and their excitement on Christmas Eve, in their new pjs. They always receive some on Christmas Eve and then we take pics of everyone by the tree.

The collection is perfect for anything Christmas and holiday related.

I added a cluster on the side, and had some black thread in my machine which was perfect to add a pop of darker color on the page:

I decided to mat the photo in black to make it stand out over the patterns that I mixed and matched:

I love the rich elegant patterns in this line, they really have a classy feel to them:

Since I had the collection open, I decided to make two Christmas cards.. because lets face it.. it's never too early to start in on making those Christmas cards.. it always sneaks up and is here before you know it.

And one more:

So hop on over to the store and check out the Dear Santa line.. it's amazing!!! I know you will love it, esp once you break it open, I just couldn't put it down. 

Thanks sooo much for stopping by and have a great day!!!!

Milk Carton robot with Bella Blvd

I am still playing with the Bella Blvd Color Chaos line, seriously the colors are so vibrant and the line is so playful and versatile!! It just doesn't get old! I created this fun layout for this weeks Saturday Scraplift on the blog and am happy how fun it turned out!

I wanted to use the arrows transparency as my base, playing with it, adding my embellishments both over and under it for a fun look! Using the daily details paper , I cut a square to balance out my photo of my daughter proudly sharing her milk carton robot made for school.

 

Using the McIntosh strands paper, and the ice strands paper, I  created paper strips in a variety of sizes needed to fill the space between my photo and titles! I tried to pull the colors from my photo, both the obvious and the subtle and was so happy how perfectly this line matched with the tones in the whole photo. I continued with the red tones from the Gulf Strandz paper  with its tiny hearts to create multiple floating circles for under my photo.

wanting just a bit more color, I opted to add the bright yellow scallop strandz paper as photo corners within the layout.

I created my subtitle and dates from the pink fresh studio alphas stickers in a pink tone perfect for my photo. I added some more sparkle with puffy black stickers by Pinkfresh Studios for my title.

I am brave enough to share that I struggled with how to pull this whole page together with a background paper. I tried a plain white carstock, but it was just too blah and plain, so I tried to paint a subtle yellow on it beneath my transparency paper, but try as I may, painting on my pages never feels like it looks right to me, so I chose this amazing specialty paper from the Crate Paper journey line for the perfect bold, subtleness, if that makes any sense! I am happy how it turned out, even with the slight struggle at the end!! We would love to see you over in the forum and share your vision of this fun lift!

School Rocks

Happy Saturday! Jennifer here on the blog today sharing a layout I created this week for the Word Up Wednesday challenge!  It's back to school time and I scrapped an older, but favorite photo of my daughter and friends using Crate Paper's Wonder collection!  This fun line is so versatile and can be used for many themes!  

I used a cut file from the Silhouette shop along with some gold foil paper from my stash!  

I layered a few of the tags from the Ephemera Pack alongside my photo! I love that Crate Paper always has so many embellishments to choose from!  

Showing some of the cute coordinating stickers that are included in the collection. I love the gold accents! You can also spy the bright patterns of "Cute One" under my journaling spot; I love the many rows of banners!

Here are more of the Ephemera and  Die Cuts as well as a gold accent arrow from the 12x12 Chipboard Sheet. Also included in the embellishments are a pack of colorful enamel dots and self-adhesive mini gold sequins!  Love!

Thanks for stopping by today!  Check out all of the fabulous goodies that are new in the My Scraps and More Shop!  Have a great day!!

Sweet Day

Hello there, My Scraps friends!  Missy back with you today.  I have a layout to share that I created for last week's Mix it Up Monday challenge over on our forums.  The challenge was to create a diagonal design of some sort, write your journaling diagonally and to include some triangles.  I have been waiting to dig into the new Pinkfresh Studio Happy Things collection, and this triangle paper has been calling my name!  I love the colors in it, and so I used about half of it and adhered it to white cardstock.  Using only part of a busy paper is a great way to not overpower the entire layout.  I added inks, sprays and gelatos to the cardstock and did some stamping with a triangle stamp.

This layout also includes some items from Evalicious, which you can find in the store HERE.

This flair button and yellow circle sticker are from Evalicious.  I love all the tid bits you can get...including wood veneer as well.  I traced over the white letters on the yellow sticker to make them stand out a bit more.

I used a T-square ruler to draw my journaling lines with a pencil to make sure they would be straight.  I also used some of the Dear Lizzy American Crafts stencils from Rise & Shine collection and some Mustard Seed Distress Ink to create the yellow words on the background.

Here is a close-up of the watercolor background.  I added more triangles with a stamp.  I "stamped off" which means I just kept stamping each time until the ink was off the stamp.  It creates a faded look.

I combined the Pinkfresh Studio black glitter Thickers with some American Crafts transparent alphas for my title.  I love combining different fonts like this :)

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Have a great weekend!

Missy :)

Journey to Nevada

Happy Thursday!  Today I'm sharing a layout I created using the Studio Calico Thataway Collection and the  Crate Paper Journey Collection.  I know these are older lines but if you're anything like me, you bought it and hoarded it because you loved it so much!!  So here's some inspiration for using these products.  The papers are Studio Calico and all of the embellishments are from Crate Paper.




and a close up of the details, including where I fussy cut the states out of the Studio Calico paper and then added brads and twine to symbolize her journey from Southern California to Reno, Nevada.




Hope to see you sharing those lines you've been hoarding.
