Paper Camellia: Brave

Hello! Today I'm sharing a layout I made with the September Paper Camellia Main and Add On kits!
I love all of the wonderful girly paper like Crate Paper's Wonder and Simple Stories' So Fancy! I had some of the So Fancy chipboard frames left so I decided to make a grid page!


I used this cute multi-colored frame to highlight my sweet niece riding her bike without training wheels for the first time!


Here,  I backed another chipboard frame with paper from the Wonder collection as well as added one of the Wonder AC Thickers. 

Showing some of the die cuts and stickers from the Wonder line!


Thanks for stopping by! The Paper Camellia shop will be open tomorrow so be sure to grab your kits while they last! Have a great day!

My Scraps and More: I Pick You


Yesterday, I had a layout up on the My Scraps and More forums for a fun challenge!  I used 
Echo Park's The Story of Fall collection for my page! The colors are absolutely gorgeous and perfect for your favorite fall photos!


I used the "Leaf It To Me" cut file from The Cut Shoppe to create a border under my photo. I incorporated vellum leaves into the mix of patterned papers.  

I chose this cute bingo card ephemera from the collection to accent my photo and I used black glitter foam American Craft Thickers for my title.  The wooden veneer arrow is from Studio Calico (I think one of their first releases!)

I used pieces from the ephemera pack as well as coordinating enamel dots to accent my border.


Thanks for looking!  You can find this collection plus LOTS more at the MSAM shop! Don't forget to use coupon code 20SEPT15 for 20% off regular priced items! Have a great night!

The Cut Shoppe: Happy Fall

Hello! Hope you had a good weekend!  I am loving that fall weather is around the corner...the leaves are beginning to turn just a bit around here.  Today, I'm up on The Cut Shoppe blog with a layout using some of the new fall themed cut files!



I started with the "I Heart Plaid" cut file for my background. I thought it would be cute with the plaid print from Carta Bella's Fall Blessings line.  




The "Tall Type" letters are so adorable and I love layered them with a dark wood grain print as well as a light green color. 



I am totally in love with the leaves in the "Leaf It To Me" cut file! I used two of the four to accent my photo! I also added some of the coordinating leaf stickers from Fall Blessings as well as enamel dots from my stash.  


Thanks for stopping by!  Check out The Cut Shoppe Etsy shop for these and many more fun cut files! Have a great day!!

Clear Scraps: The Best Day

I had a layout up on the Clear Scraps blog this past Tuesday using one of the very cool Mirror Frames and the 6 Inch Circles Mascil.  Pink Paislee's Cedar Ridge is one of my favorite new collections!  


I first cut a rectangular piece of patterned paper to go behind the frame and then added epoxy words for my title. I also added a cute little fox die cut and acetate leaves!

Using my 6 inch Circles Mascil, I applied a light coat of modeling paste. Once dry, I adhered different sized circles to the centers.  

Showing some of the ephemera that comes with Cedar Ridge....

I love the multi colored leaf print!! So beautiful! Also, I layered more of the ephemera pieces as well as added a cute epoxy flower. 
Thanks for stopping by! Tell me your favorite fall collection this year?  
Have a great night!

Clear Scraps: 2 Cool 4 School

This week I had a layout up on the Clear Scraps blog using the Star Acrylic Border and Simple Stories' So Rad collection.  The border goes perfect with the star prints in the So Rad papers!  

I used alcohol ink to color my border...once dry I took a white paint pen to outline the edges. 

My title is a combination of American Craft Thickers and a chipboard accent from So Rad. Also, you can see one of the Bradz (which are self adhesive!).  

I adhered chipboard accents as well as added Bradz to the centers of random stars on my border. 


Check out all of the cool borders plus lots more at the Clear Scraps shop!  Have a wonderful day!

My Scraps and More: First Day

Happy Saturday! I'm sharing a layout I created for My Scraps and More challenge using Amy Tangerine's Stitched collection.  This line has beautiful bright colors and patterns!  



For my title, I used some black foam American Craft Thickers! Love these..they go with pretty much any paper! 

I used the calendar print at the bottom half of my page which was perfect to jot down some journaling!  I also used the new mini washi tape from Finders Keepers!  

I used my hand punch to create this fun banner with different patterns and then stitched through with my sewing machine. 

I added some washi tape from my stash as well as a large gold paper clip from Jen Hadfield. 

Another banner at the top of my photo!  

Love these wood veneer titles from Evalicious!  I also added some enamel shapes from My Mind's Eye.
