A Little Swagger!

Hello and happy Wednesday!
Lisa here to share a layout using the Fancy Pants Swagger Collection. This is such a fun line!
I used an older photo of my husband on vacation in Mexico:

 

I love the hat:

 

and the staches are so fun, I just had to add one under my button:

 

I added a lot of distressing, ink and stitching on this layout to make it more masculine :)

 

hope you have a wonderful day!

Cherish and Everyday Cute

Hello and good morning...

I am OVER the moon when Tammi mentioned that she was going to be caring some of the Elle's Studio products in the store, and was super excited to see the Serendipity collection. I have been a HUGE fan of Elle's products for a looong time, and was even more excited when they started releasing paper.

Here is a layout the I created using the Serendipity line:

I esp loved how the paper actually had the CHERISH word on it, which helped make my title work easy for me. The Flowers paper had the number strips on the bottom of the page, which I used to make a list of things that I cherish about my lil one.

Next up, is a layout that I used the collection on:

I decided to go with a "grid" look and add a bit of lots of the papers to the layout.
I fussy cut out the leaves from the Cherish paper and added them throughout.

Make sure to head over to the My Scraps & More store to see how wonderful the Serendipity line is.

have a wonderful day,

Wendi

Today was a lot of FUN!

Hello there, My Scraps friends!  Missy here today to share a layout I created using a mix of two American Crafts lines...Lucky Charm and Yes, Please.  I created it based on a photo-inspired challenge over on our boards.  Every Saturday there is a new challenge that presents you with a photo that you can use for inspiration.  You can go HERE to see the challenge.

I pulled my bright colors from the photo and went to work.  I love all the fun colors in these two lines, and the black and white photos really pop against all that color.  I added some orange paint since there wasn't a lot of orange in the papers.  I love how it turned out :)

I've really been itching to use vellum again lately, so I punched out a few hearts and lightly inked the edges.  I think I'll be incorporating more vellum into more pages very soon!  I just love that you can still see everything through it!

You should hop on over to the message boards and check out all the fun challenges going on daily.  Also, check out the store HERE...lots of fun new lines coming in!  

Thanks for stopping by, and have a fantastic weekend!

Missy :)

Can't have a rainbow without the rain!

I just LOVED this piece of paper from Echo Park's "Sweet Girl" collection, but I was having a hard time figuring out how to use such a big, bold print.

My initial thought was to cut it up into smaller "rainbows" but instead, I just trimmed off about a 4" piece from the top, and used it on my page like this:

I mixed it up with some other American Crafts papers that I had, and tried to keep the rest of the design simple.  I also used the grey on the bottom of the page to make the rainbow stand out more on top!

I am so inspired this time of year to use rainbow prints and clouds and sunshines!!!  There are lots of great new products in the store that have these things!  Check out all the "newest arrivals"!

Fun on the 4th

I'm so excited it is finally starting to feel like the beginning of summer.  It has been late coming this year.  Normally we have been playing at the lake for weeks by this time of year.  I'm so ready for some outdoor water fun.  Scrapping summer photos has just made me long for it more.  I created this page  using Fancy Pants Down by the Shore and Glitz Color Me Happy.

Cool Summer

Hello and welcome Wednesday! We are half way through the week and getting closer to summer! Yay!

Lisa here today to share a layout I made using the Carta Bella Cool Summer line. This line is perfect for all your summer photos and more! The photo of my daughter enjoying a shake was taken on Spring Break, 2012. I love the colors, icecream cone banner, (I just had to use it!) and pinwheels in this collection!

 

I used a Martha Stewart border punch, Kreaxions Circle Cutter and a sketch by Lucy Chesna . I also added some green ink and Glimmer Mist spatters to my layout.

 

Thanks for stopping by and sharing your day with us!
