New Process Video

Hey everyone! Just wanted to pop in really quick and let you know that I uploaded a new process video for the layout that I shared last week. This one was for the "I Am" challenge over at Felicity Jane. If you like it, be sure to give me a thumbs up and leave a comment. Thanks! Have a happy scrappy day!

Felicity Jane "I Am" Challenge

Hey there! I'm back again today to share a layout that I made for the Felicity Jane "I Am" challenge. If you are not familiar with Felicity Jane, make sure to go here and check out their kits. Almost everything in the kits are exclusive items. While you are there, you can go to the blog and read about the "I Am" challenge. You do not have to be a kit subscriber to participate.

So, for my layout I started out with a cut file from The Cut Shoppe. I used the All Heart Remix cut file. I cut it out of white cardstock at about 11 x 11. I then traced around the inside of the hearts on my patterned paper and then cut all of the hearts out. Cutting out the hearts and getting them adhered to the cut file took the most time, but I absolutely love the results! I glued the inside section of the hearts down on my background cardstock and popped up the outer hearts to give some dimension and make it stand out more. Then, I matted my photo and got everything stuck down on my page. I was struggling trying to find the right letters to use for "Lucky" when I remembered that I had some Amy Tangerine word Thickers. I took the word "Lucky" and sprayed it with Gold Heidi Swapp color shine mist. I then glued that down using hot glue. I used a stamp in the kit to stamp the "I AM" on a tag which was also in the kit. I must say that I am so pleased with how this layout turned out! Here is a photo of my completed layout.

And, here are some close up pictures of my layout.

Don't you just love that gold flair button? There were three gold flair buttons in the June kit!! Swoon!! Well, thanks for stopping by today. I hope to have the process video for this layout uploaded in the next few days. Have a happy scrappy day!

National Donut Day

When I received my May Felicity Jane kit, I wasn't quite sure what to do with the donut paper and flair badge that I found in the kit. I was thinking that I would probably not ever use it. Well, I was so wrong! My oldest daughter and I decided to try a local donut shop on National Donut Day. OMG!! It was incredible! The donuts were fresh as can be! I mean, seriously, they were still warm! We got to pick our toppings which was pretty cool. I chose a vanilla iced with sprinkles and a chocolate drizzle. My daughter chose a glazed with bacon pieces. So delicious! So, I had to create a layout from that day!

All of my papers are from the Felicity Jane May kit. I mixed up fonts on the title using one font from the May kit and another from the February kit. And, how 'bout that cute donut flair!! The "O" in donut was the perfect place for me to put it! Here are some more detailed pictures.

I also have a process video if you would like to watch how I put this one together.



Thanks for visiting today and have a great weekend!

Update and a Process Video

Hey there everyone! I am working on getting my blog updated. I bought a nice template for a reasonable price on Etsy, and I am still in the process of getting everything the way that I want it. I am hoping to post more often, but life is so busy! My oldest is out of school for the summer and I didn't sign her up for many camps this year. Thought it would be nice to just let her chill out and have some play dates. I might be re-thinking this decision by the end of the summer!! LOL! I wanted to post my latest process video here on the old blog even though most of you have probably already seen it. I am hoping to post at least one process video a week, but we'll see how that goes. I really only get Thursday and Friday to do scrapbooking, and that's only if my daughter doesn't have me running around taking her places.



Well, that's all for now! I hope everyone else is having a great day! Talk to you soon!

First Process Video!

Hey there everyone! I just wanted to let you know that I uploaded my very first process video to YouTube today. It is of the layout that I posted here. If you'd like to watch, you can find it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUkwX3b2jyE. Have a happy scrappy week!

Just Play

Hey there, everyone. Today, I have another layout to share with you. This one is using mostly the Play Date collection by Bella Blvd. This is an older collection, but it is so cute! I have hoarded so many Bella Blvd collections over the years, and I decided that I'm not going to do that anymore. I can't look at all the cute papers if they are sitting on my shelf in my scrap room! So, I had this picture of my youngest daughter playing on the playground and thought this collection would be perfect.

There was a layout that Victoria Calvin posted in her Facebook group and everyone loved it so much that she made it one of the challenges to scraplift her layout. I based my layout on hers, and I love the way it turned out.

Here are some close up shots.

The word "PLAY" and the wonky scallops are from The Cut Shoppe. You can find them here.

Well, I hope everyone has had a great week so far! Have a happy scrappy day!

You Color My Life Beautiful

Today, I would like to share another layout that I created using mostly Bella Blvd. The title on my layout is what got my brain ticking! I got that cut file from the lovely Wilna Furstenberg. I had been hoarding the Lucky Starz collection for a while now, and I am so glad that I did! It went perfectly with my title. The colors were pretty much in rainbow order for me already. So, I decided to punch a bunch of strips with my small scallop border punch. Once I had them punched and ready to go, I adhered them to a large heart that I cut out with my cameo. I did some wonky sewing around the large heart. I then re-sized the same heart and cut out two from vellum so that I could fill them with sequins and sew them together. I stapled the sequin filled heart to my layout and then added a Bella Blvd crochet heart. I fluffed up the scallops on the big heart and then adhered the picture and the title. I matted my picture on vellum and one of the papers from the Daily Chevies collection to make it stand out with all that color. I did not embellish much since there was already so much color on the layout. I did not want it to feel busy. I added my journaling and a little enamel heart. And, that's where I called it finished! Here's a picture of the layout.

And, here's two detailed pictures.

I really love how colorful this layout is! There could not have been a better paper collection!

I am looking forward to getting my hands on some of the new Bella Blvd collections, especially Color Chaos!! Oh, and the new bows and the enamel dots and doodads!! It looks like so much fun!

Well, that's all for today. Have a happy scrappy day, and I'll be back soon to share a layout that I'm currently working on!
