This layout was inspired by the cute sticker and fun little embellishments in the kit. 

Love those yellow BG flowers.

Mist Week @ PCC

Over at Paper Crafter's Corner we had a week of Misting techniques. There is a HUGE giveaway going over at PCC!!   We made up tags sharing all the different mist techniques.  And we also created a layout using a technique.  I was to use splatters. 

So here is my layout:

Birthday Treat

***Winner of the embellishment add-on is  Candace H !**

My son turned 6 in June and since we were away on vacation he had bout 4 different "parties/celebrations".  He loved it!  This was a picture I took of him enjoying a yogurt treat at Yogli Moglis in Georgia.  This was on his actually birthday so as you can see he loaded it with goodies.  I used the August kit over at Citrus Twist to create this layout.

Birthday Girl

Today I wanted to share another layout I created with the Gossamer Blue August Kit.  I just LOVE the colors in this kit. And the fun banners are perfect for a birthday layout.

So literally the day after her birthday my husband found this "I am 2" shirt in her closet.  I forgot I had bought, so I put it on her to do some 2 year pictures.  I had her try to give me 2 on her fingers you can see she is trying to say "2".  And she loved looking at the shirt.

Another close up where you can see I used the tissue paper that the kit was wrapped it.  You have to use everything right?! lol I love using things that aren't scrapbooking.

Tubing Time

***Giveaway HERE for an August Add-on***

So down in Georgia my friend Corrie and her hubby rented a boat for us to all go out on.  I was so much fun!  The kids got to go tubing and swimming!  I used the August kit from Citrus Twist to create this layout.

I took and cut out circle and then misted them.  I then took some of the string that is in the kit and put around the circle to make them pop.

 Here is my journaling and I love the pretty ribbon that comes in the kit.  It matches great!

I love the mist that come in the kit!  Lots of layering!

Think Happy Thoughts

****Giveway Post HERE****

Today I get to share some layouts from The Paper Bakery's August Add-on.  This is my last month with them and I enjoyed working with Sarah's kits.  This month the add-on had my favorite primary colors in it!!

Here is a layout I did based around the sun rays and sticker that said "Think Happy Thoughts".  This is my baby girl looking out the back of the boat when we were in Georgia.  Love her little feet showing.

 I stitched in the rays to make them pop.

Color Challenge

So over at Paper Crafter's Corner we are talking about challenges and why do them and why we like them.  I love challenges because if gets you thinking out side the box, helps you get motivated, and helps you use up your stash.  So I took on the color challenge over at Write.Click.Scrapbook.  Love the color and the inspiration piece...well I couldn't take my eye off it.  So I had to recreate it in my layout.  So here is my take on the color challenge.

Love the cute MME pieces and the SC circle frame.

Such fun playing with different font.

Very Important

Here is a fun, sweet card I created for Elle's Studio.  I used the cute tags from the Summer Lovin' line.  The bottom of the card is a piece from the Heidi Swapp file folders. I love how you mist them and the design comes out.

Thanks for stopping by!

Simple Card

Here is a fun card I made using the July Mixed Media Kit (sorry sold out) from The Paper Bakery.  I'm really enjoying these kits because there is so many useful things in them. You can see i used the mask in the background and the AC stamp too.  I cut the paper flags out of the 6x6 paper pad for Echo Park.


Thanks so much fro stopping by!!

Sweet Treat Ice Cream

Yay, It's finally Friday!  We are going to be busy this weekend!  How about you?  This is another layout I did for Elle's Studio this month.  I used the new Summer Lovin' Tags.  This tags are so cute and fun!

This is my baby girl enjoying ice cream at this place called "Sweet Treats" in Georgia. They take your ice cream flavor and mix in your topping instead of putting it on top.  So yummy!

Love the numbers tags.  And I used my favorite American Crafts line Dear Lizzy!

Sketch Thursday

Today over at Elle's Studio is my favorite day of the week....Sketch Thursday!!  I played along almost every week and now I get to be the one to share my layout with you on this week sketch! 

This sketch was inspired by a layout the talented Diana White created. 

And here is my take on the sketch.  I love the angle since I main go straight this was a fun challenge.

My First Gallery Reveal

Today is the gallery reveal over at Elle's Studio and it is the first time for the new DT to show their creations!!  I'm feel so honored to work with Elle and the rest of the wonderful team!

Here is one of my layouts "Oh the Places You'll Go" (Dr. Seuss title).  This layout was so fun to make.  I wanted to document all the states we went through on our vacation.  I used the new Summer Lovin' tags and also so new flairs from Paper Play Studio.

 And the reason for that is I have never been any further then the states that touch mine.  So this was big for me and my family!

Thanks so much for stopping by!!  Hope I inspired you to use those state sign pictures :)
