A Quick Layout Share

Good morning, everyone!  I'd like to pop in quickly and share a quick layout that I made.  I am currently taking a Studio Calico class called "Pop Off the Page 2."  It's taught by Jen Jockish and it's all about how to layer and add dimension to your layouts....something I definitely need help with.

The first week's challenge was to scrap lift a layout by one of the class contributors.  I chose to scrap lift a layout by Marcy Penner.  Here is the end result:

Definitely a bit out of my comfort zone and usual style, but I'm happy to keep learning all these fun techniques!

The Studio || Masks & Mists!

Good morning, everyone!

I hope that you are all having a nice weekend.

There is a new challenge up at The Studio this morning: use your stencils & masks on a layout.  So I used one mask and many mists:

I love the colorful end result! The mask is from Studio Calico and the mists are from a variety of places: Heidi Swapp (purple & turquoise), Studio Calico (yellow) and Tattered Angels (all other colors).

I hope you can play along with us...head on over to The Studio to see the fabulous creations from the rest of the design team!!

Lucky

Eric and I began dating back in 2005.

Almost 7 years later, we got married (yes, it took us a while!).

And today we've been married for a year!  Time really does fly when you're having fun.  I'm lucky I married my best friend.  He's goofy (see wedding picture), he's sweet, he's caring, he spoils me rotten.  There's no one I'd rather spend my life with.

Punky Scraps || A Jolt of Yellow

Hey, everyone!  The newest challenge at Punky Scraps went live on Wednesday.  It was a sketch challenge with a twist: use lots of yellow and feathers/something Springy on your layout.  I used a WHOLE LOT of yellow:

Love the sunny end result.  Doesn't the color yellow just make you happy?  It has that effect on me.

Please head on over to Punky Scraps to see what the other ladies created and to take part in the challenge.
