Bottle You Up (Scrapbooking)

I was so inspired by Glitter Girl's adventure #62.  She challenged us to create a page that mixes product from several collections or manufacturers.  So, I pulled out my papers.  I started with that increadible floral paper from Crate Paper and used the colours from that to find my other papers.  They included the yellow paper from Lawn Fawn, the dark pink from My Minds Eye, the blue and grey paper from Lilly Bee (which didn't make the final cut but was replaced by a blue paper from BasicGrey), and the light pink gingham (which I do not know the manufacturer since this sheet was sent to me from a friend).  I had also pulled some green vellum but didn't end up using it.

 

 

Next, I looked for some embellishments and pulled some from the new Lucky Charm collection (American Crafts).  I am pointing to one of the mason jars but ended up using the other yellow one wiht the heart in it. 

 

 

Also used some of these cut apart journaling tags form Amy Tangerine's Yes Please collection. 

 

I picked an assortment of letters and ended up using the light pink from BasicGrey and the small turquoise from Lilly Bee. 

 

Here is my final page.  So much fun pulling it together.  And it was featured on the scrapbooking site: My Scrapbooking Art site that you can see HERE.  The post was about the mason jar trend ... guess this layout fits right in!

 

Here is a close up of the title and the cluster of embellishments.

Nana and Papa (scrapbooking)

Today's layout is very special.  It is a layout that includes pictures of my brother and his wife with their first grandchild.  It is so precious for me to see!  I really struggle to call him "papa" but having fun with it since he is quite a bit older than I am! 

 

I am adding this layout to Glitter Girls challenge (at 2peas) to create a page using the things you are drawn to.  Well, any of you who know me know that I am totally addicted to beautiful designer paper.  I have so much of it!  Recently I purchased the new Yes, Please (Amy Tangerine for American Crafts), Lucky Charm (Dear Lizzy for American Crafts) and Maggie Holmes paper (by Crate Paper) paper packs and I am determined to use them and not hoard them like I usually do with my favourite papers.

 

So, here is a layout made with the first page from Yes, Please.  Look at all that colour!  Delish!!

 

 

Here is a close up of the butterflies - orange with a layer of vellum over top. And you can see the splatters of the orange twinkling H2Os that I added as well. More yum!

 

Thanks for dropping by!  Enjoy your day!

Still My Crazy Kid (scrapbooking)

Hi all! 

 

I was able to make another page for one of the challenges going on over at 2 peas.  This time the challenge was to use a 4 word title.  That made it easy. I wanted to scrapbook about my son who is growing up ... but yet still just my good old crazy kid whom I love so much! 

 

 

I used some of my new products I ordered from 2peas.  I know, I said I wasn't going to buy new stuff but use the stuff I have... but what I've discovered is that the products I had for cardmaking don't necessarily work well for scrapbooking.  So, I HAD to buy some basics!!

Supplies: Papers - Fourteen collection from Crate Paper, Basic White from BasicGrey, black polka dot paper is Making Memories; Stamps - Lovestuck by Amy Tangerine;  Punches - all but little heart from Martha Stewart; Tag from gloves we bought our son for Christmas (I love to recycle!). 

I am really enjoying getting back into scrapbooking again!  I have another page made as well which I will load up soon! 

I have some requests for cards as well so I will be blogging them soon.

Thanks for dropping by.
