Hi, everyone! I hope your week is going well!
I recently dug out some of my Doodlebug Design products to create a bright layout. Their colorful products are always so much fun to work with. Here is what I came up with:
Too colorful? I think not! :)
Layout: Cardstock: DCWV; Patterned Paper, buttons, orange flower, border strips, sequins, stickers, eyelets, plastic shapes: Doodlebug Design; Ribbon: American Crafts; Black ampersand: Lily Bee Designs; Turquoise flower: Prima; Twine: My Mind's Eye

Goodbye, Just C & S!
Yes, it's true...my tenure at Just C & S is complete. I had such an amazing time on that team. Some of my favorite layouts of all time were created from Just C & S challenges. Our final challenge was to create a layout saying "goodbye.' I'm not good at goodbyes, so I didn't really say much of anything....
Thanks for popping in! Enjoy your work week!

A few layouts...
Happy weekend, everybody! I have a few quick layouts to share with you. The first one was done for Just C & S. The challenge was to create your own background. I used an old stencil that I had laying around:
The second layout is one that I created just for fun using the Boardwalk kit from Studio Calico:

My Creative Type Prompt
Hi, everybody...it's almost Friday (thank goodness...I don't know about you, but I NEED a weekend :) ).
I wanted to share my first layout for The Creative Type. The propmpt was to scrap a vacation...and use paint! I can use some paint! I decided to approach the paint a little differently, though, and kept my layout relatively clean:
Go check out The Creative Type to see what the other fabulous ladies created!
Layout: Patterned Paper: Basic Grey, Echo Park; Border Strips: Bazzill; Stickers: Echo Park; Paint: Unknown :(

Birthday layouts...
This past week my parents were in town visiting me. While they were here, we celebrated 2 birthdays: my Dad's, which was July 20th, and mine, which was last Wednesday. I decided to make a layout for each us that showed us blowing out our candles, and put the pages side-by-side in an album.
For the first layout, I dug into my scraps bin to play along with Amy Heller's summer scraps challenge:

For the layout about my Dad, I used the "Boogie Board" add-on kit from the August Studio Calico kit:
(My Dad loves making silly faces, which is why he looks a little funny in both of his pictures...haha!)

Boarding Pass...
As soon as I saw October Afternoon's new "Boarding Pass" collection, I knew I had to get my hands on it. I don't travel a whole, whole lot, but I certainly would like to! I instantly fell in love with the colors and patterns in this collection. I seriously bought almost every product from this line that I could! And I knew that buying this fun stuff would give me the kick in the butt that I needed to scrap more of my "older" photos (i.e., from the last few years).
Here is my first "Boarding Pass" layout...Chicago pictures!!
Thanks for popping in...enjoy your weekend!

Scraplifting...
Hi, everyone! I hope you are having a nice week.
I recently found a really fun layout in the Creating Keepsakes special "Summer Fun & Travel" issue that I just had to scraplift. It was done by Roree Rumph and can be found on page 75 of the issue. I dug into my Studio Calico scraps to play along with Amy Heller's scraps challenge:
I love the end result! It's nice to get back to my "griddy" roots!
I hope you enjoy the rest of the work week...and, as always, thanks for popping by!
Layout: Cardstock: Bazzill; Patterned Paper: Studio Calico; Twine: We R Memory Keepers; Alphas: American Crafts; Stickers: Girls' Paperie; Bling: Prima
