Good morning, everyone!  I'm excited to share the last Paper Issues sketch of the month with you and share how I interpreted it.  Here is the fabulous sketch I'm working with:

I'm not gonna lie...this sketch made me a bit nervous because its not my normal scrap style, but that's also one of the reasons I love it.  It's always good to get outside your "comfort zone a little bit. :)  

I used some Elle's Studio products mixed with some Studio Tekturek products to create a fun color pallet of purples and turquoises.  Here's what I whipped up:

Instead of circles, I used hearts and I really like how it turned out.  As I said, this layout is totally different from my normal project, but that's what makes it so much fun!

I hope you can play along with us...and don't forget that each design team member has a code to use in the store.  My code is KAT20.

Good morning everyone!  I am excited to share my layout for the Galentine's Day challenge over at Paper Issues.  I decided to focus my layout on  my daughter and my niece.  My niece actually stayed with us for about a month last year since she was doing online school and she did a great job with my daughter.  Even though they are separated by 13 years, they got along well and I was sad when my niece had to fly back home.

I wanted to make my page girly and fun, so I decided to break out some old Vicki Boutin papers that I have been hoarding for a really long time.  I fussy cut a bunch of butterflies and had a field day adding them all around my page.

I also added in some enamel dots from my stash, alphas from Bella Blvd and Doodlebug, and some chipboard stickers from Elle's.  Here is the final project:

I really hope you can play along with us this month.  And don't forget that each design team member has a code you can use in the Paper Issues store to save 20% off your order.  My code is KAT20 :)
