It's all Good!

How creative are you when you scrap?  Do you stick with your paper and embellishments the way they come or do you look at things in a unique way?  If you just use the basics as is, try to venture out and look at the big picture.  Take a look at the packaging that the embellishments come in.  Some of them have awesome designs on the backing or the label can be used on a page.  Also, don't forget the the strips of paper that you cut off of the the bottom of the paper.  Some of them have a thin strip of the pattern in a smaller print and of course they also always have the name of the line on them.  They can be very creative with those names.  Here is a page I created using Glitz Color Me Happy.

Here you can see where I cut the name off the bottom of one of the paper strips and used it as a subtitle.  It looks like it was made to be an embellishment.

Remember How Lovely You Are

Hello and good morning...

If there is one of the new releases that I am just smitten by, in every sense of the word, it's by the Crate Maggie Holmes collection.. The style, the feel, the colors, and the images are perfect for almost any occasion and just have an easy breezy feel to it all. I LOVE that!!!

I created this page using the line of my daughter as she got all dressed up for her first daddy daughter dance held by the school.

I fussy cut out the doily from the Moments paper and added some misting to it:

I usually always add at least the person, date, and place of the photo to my page to know what's going on. Sure, I remember know, but in years to come, I know my memory may not be so kind to me... lol..
I also love how companys are decorating the bottom strip of the patterned papers, it makes the perfect accent for projects.

I've become a huge fan of the MME enamels in the My Scraps store. They seem to be the perfect accent to any project.

So how will you use this line?? Does it speak to you?? Make sure to pick it up in the My Scraps & More store HERE, before it's all gone.

And in case you're playing along with the My Scraps & More sketch-a-thon, this page goes along with sketch #9 and the added twist of using at least 2 mists/inks/ and paints. I used 2 different color mists. What would you choose???

Have a wonderful day....

Here She Comes - AC Dear Lizzy Lucky Charm

Hey there, My Scraps fans!  Hope you're having a great weekend so far.  Missy here to share a page I created using the new American Crafts Dear Lizzy Lucky Charm collection.  It's a HUGE collection, and there are SO many papers & patterns!  I love the navy blues thrown in with the reds, pinks, yellows, greens & beiges...a very big range.  And the chipboard stickers are so versatile and fun!

These photos are from Dec. 2010, and Paige had just started walking unassisted.  I kept trying to snap as many pictures of her coming toward me as I could!  These papers matched the pinks in her Dora jammies just perfectly.  I started with some pink paint, which I smudged around with an old credit card.  Then I just started choosing the papers I wanted & layered them.  The neat thing that I love about AC papers is the strips at the bottom of each page...you can use them for fun accents!  The beige heart strip was from the bottom of a page.

You can purchase this line HERE in the store, along with many other brand new collections!

And don't forget about our month-long Sketch-a-thon over on our boards...a brand new sketch goes up every day!  Here's a sample of one of the sketches I created last week.

And here is the page I created, using the new Echo Park All About a Boy line, available in the store HERE.

Be sure to check out the boards to see how everyone is interpreting the sketches!  A nice prize awaits a lucky winner :) 

Thanks for stopping by today, and have a great weekend!

Missy ;)
