FEBRUARY MOOD BOARD

Hello February! 

It's a new month! That means a new group of challenges and inspiration from Paper Issues!  

Today's inspiration is this gorgeous Mood Board created by Mary-Ann!  I love the colors and the pictures she put together.  I had no problem getting inspiration to create a layout!

I went with the red and white of the cupcake.  Since I planned on using a black and white picture, I thought the simple red and white theme would work really well.

I mixed Crate Paper Hello Love with the adorable Bella Blvd letters.  It's a simple layout but I had such a good time making it!  Now it's your turn!  Head on over to the Facebook Friends and Fans page and share your layout! I know the mood board had to inspire you too!  If you feel the need to do some shopping in the PI store make sure you use my code for 20% your order!!

Have a great weekend! 

SPOTLIGHTING SOME BELLA BLVD

HAPPY WEDNESDAY!

Time for a new product spotlight over at Paper Issues!

Today Michelle Gallant has us creating with anything Bella Blvd!  Love this spotlight because they are one of my favorite companies!  I had so much fun doing a page for this issue!

I cut the hearts out on my CAMEO and backed them with all the fun Bella papers! 

Make sure you head over to the blog or the Facebook Friends & Fans page to play along with the Bella papers!  If you need to stock up on Bella you can find it in the store!  If you use my code you get 20% off of your order!!  Hope to see your creations!

ANYTHING GOES AT PAPER ISSUES!

Hello!! It's time for another Issue at Paper Issues!  I am happy to be contributing to the Anything Goes issue hosted by Lisa Swift. The title of the issue speaks for itself!  You can make what you want with whatever product you want!! Easy, huh?

Here's what I came up with.

I used Elle's Studio Shine papers for the background and the quote bubbles are Elle's Say What paper  and journaling spots from Fancy Pants.  As always I had to add enamel dots to give it some texture and I even splattered some acrylic paint! Every time I look at the picture I crack up.  My windblown hair, my son avoiding the camera, my husband hating the boat ride to the island and my goofball daughter photobombing us!  I think the Elle's paper were perfect for the fun picture!

Now it's your turn to create something for the issue!  Head over to either the Paper Issues Facebook page and share your creations!  We love seeing them!

Also, if you plan on doing some shopping so you can do some scrapping, make sure you use my code below for 20% off your entire order in the PI store!!!

PAPER ISSUES PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT

Hello everyone! Today I am posting my first Product Spotlight layout for Paper Issues!  So exciting!  This weeks product is Seven Papers by Studio Calico.  I used the Amelia line and I just love it!  The colors are so fun and bright and they were perfect for this picture of my daughter and her friend at the fair this past summer.  I really let the papers and the picture be the focus of this one.

Head over to the PI Blog to see what some of the other DT members have done with Seven Papers. 

So much inspiration over there!

If you would like to get some of the Seven Papers, head over to the PI store and pick some up and start creating your layouts! Have a great Wednesday and thanks for stopping by!

ICE CREAM LAYOUT

 

Happy Wednesday Everyone!

Last night I worked on a layout for a Sketch Challenge over at Paper Issues.  I have to admit, I had a hard time with the sketch, but once I got it going I had so much fun with it!  I'm pretty happy with it.  I used a picture from our recent trip to Mackinaw. Eating ice cream.  What else would I use, right?

 

 

Thanks again Paper Issues for such great inspiration!  Have a good day!
