Be Passionately Curious.

Hello and good morning....
 
One thing I have really been into is scrapping my Instagram photos, which happens to be my favorite size to scrap lately- 4x4 photos. These are a few of my lil one, just random pictures.

I used the American Crafts Shimelle line.... ohhhh I am completely loving it!!! really I am. The colors and fun patterns have been super easy to work with.

How cute is the cupcake sticker embellie???  My page is not food related at all, but I couldn't resist adding it on.

I choose to use one of the sticker embellies as my title, I really loved the saying.

I couldn't resist cutting the shapes from the Harding paper and then added the squares through the center. Then adding a bit of random stitching and some enamel dots.

 

In case you haven't looked at the AC Shimelle line, head on over to the store and check it out here, there are a TON of the embellies with the line too.

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

August Ticket winner and Halloween...

Good MORNING!  Happy Monday!

I'm sharing a page today that I created with some Shimelle papers and a some from Brighton Pier.  I was inspired by the hexagon alphas, so I decided to use hexagons as the major design on my page.

In addition to cutting out some large hexagons using my Cameo, I also traced some with a black pen to create a place to journal.

The alphas I altered a bit by inking them with some light blue ink.

It's Rough Being 2 / October Afternoon

Oh, the days of little toddler temper tantrums!  Haha!  I hope you all are doing well today....it's Missy here with you.  My sweet Paige is now five, but in these photos she was only two.  And in her defense, we were stuck and stranded waiting on her pediatrician in those tiny little doctor rooms.  We waited and waited and waited...so naturally she got antsy.  Of course a whiny fit was bound to happen.  I almost had one myself...haha!  What to do when this happens?  Break out the camera and snap away, of course :D

This was a layout I made just for fun.  I really wanted to use the October Afternoon sheet with all these cute speech bubbles, so I fussy cut a lot of them out.  They seemed to go perfectly with her facial expressions :)

I used some Sweet Cherry Heidi Swapp Color Shine and my own Mister Huey's Water Coolor and Gold Color Shine to make my messy background.  I'm really loving squirting the color onto plastic packaging and then using that to press it onto the paper.  I added splatters, too.

I love these speech bubbles!  I used pop dots on a few to really create a fun layered & dimensional look.

I mixed up my alphas using Thickers and little Lily Bee stickers.  I did add in my own washi tape in several places.  I think I used four different tapes!

I just love these little stamps from Simple Stories. They work on any type of layout!

I hope this gives you some inspiration to create something awesome this weekend!  

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

I Wish For More!

Fancy Pants As You Wish collection has to be one of my favorites that has come out this year.  The colors are so fun and bold.  It may have a bit to do with my addiction to all things in the teal/turquoise category.  I've always been told that is my color :)

Oh, this makes me long to be back in Florida instead of back into the grind of school and work!

Monsters Rule!

Hey there scrappy friends!
Lisa here with you today to share a layout I created for a layout challenge Monday on the forum using Fancy Pants Be Different. This is such a fun line and I love the colors!

 

Here are a few close ups:

I fussy cut the cute little monsters out of patterned paper:

 

and used the mixed alphas for my journaling.

 

Hope you have a wonderful day!

Reward.

Hello and good morning...

I have to say I always appreciate a collection that go really go for more than just the theme it was designed for. The Pink Paislee Solstice line was a summer/ beach line, but I actually found it worked perfectly for some pages of my son due to alot of the blues and other colors in it.
My son and I had worked really hard on a squats exercise challenge for a full month, and at the end of reaching our goal, we went out to dinner and a dessert reward. It was totally worth it.

I used some older black thickers, I swear every pack I go to use, is missing the e's in it, so that's when I mix up with alphas.. then added some of the arrows in with the paper arrows I cut out.

 

The kraft ticket is from the Crate notes and things kraft sticker packs. They are on rolls and perfect to throw onto any project.

So look beyond a bit of a themed line, and see what else you can use it for. Stretch your mind a bit and create..

Thanks sooo much for stopping by today and have a great day..

Here comes Fall...and some new stuff...Simple Stories and Lawn Fawn

Wow....September 1st.  REALLY???!!!!!!!  I'm not letting go of summer just yet....

Here's one of my favorite summer memories from this summer....my daughter finding all kinds of toads in our yard all summer long!!!  I used papers from Crate Paper Notes & Things and the Shimelle line, plus a few other goodies from my stash.

******Store News*******

Arriving TODAY are 2 new collections:

Simple Stories Cozy Christmas

I LOVE the bokeh paper and the woodgrain in this collection.  Such a warm and cozy collection, for sure.  I think I would use this for a lot of "winter" pages, and not necessarily "Christmas" ones.

Lawn Fawn Sweater Weather

How FUN is this collection?!  I just love the dark blue in this line to go along with the other fall colors!  And how about those wood veneer leaves?!  LOVE!

Check by the store later today or tomorrow to see these products in stock!
