Clear Scraps Mixable Edgy Album: Let's Go On An Adventure

Hello!  Today I'm sharing a mini I did a few months ago for Clear Scraps!  After layouts, mini album are my favorite to create!  I used the Mixable Edgy Album along with Shimelle's Starshine collection.  

Each page alternates from acrylic to chipboard cascading into different sizes!  This gives you lots of opportunity to layer your embellishments!  I tend to leave my acrylic pages "bare" but paint my chipboard...I just like the way the clear acrylic looks.  

I documented our weekend trip to Chicago for the NFL draft!  We had a lot of fun hanging out with our friends in Grant Park as well as visiting some local hangouts. 

I usually like to include an extra page or two by using envelopes or tags! Here, I used an older Fancy Pants striped envelope I've had in my stash forever.  I layered a Crate Paper chipboard frame with patterned paper as well as an epoxy clip.  

Thanks for looking! Be sure to check out the Clear Scraps shop to see the variety of mini albums!  Have a great day!

The Cut Shoppe: Boys Rule

Today on The Cut Shoppe blog, I have a layout using the new Boys Rule cut file set! This is one of my favorites so far! I love the fun shapes and titles..how cute are the arrows?   I always appreciate a fun boy collection and the stars pair well with Shimelle's new Starshine collection.

Using white cardstock for my outline, I used the "Boys Rule" title from the set.  I filled in the letters with an orange/white chevron print from Starshine.   

I used the star/circle shapes as well as the nested stars in different sizes and prints to layer under my title and photo.  I accented with chipboard accents from Starshine as well as epoxy shapes from Evalicious.  

Here, I used die cuts and stickers from Starshine as well as a cute Metal Clip.  

Thank you for stopping by! Check out the Etsy shop for this cut file set plus much more!
Have a great 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.

My Scraps and More: Got Talent Challenge #13!

Happy Friday!! Today on the My Scraps and More forums and FB group I have the next 

Got Talent challenge! For your page, you need to create a list; whether it be a top ten, a list of favorites, or events in your life right now.  

For my page, I typed out ten random facts about my daughter, Hailey! I used Simple Stories' I Am collection (which never gets old!).  

My title are black foam Thickers from American Crafts....they go with pretty much any project!  I added a cute heart/arrow from the I Am collection as well as a gold foil chipboard heart and coordinating enamel dots! 

I tend to use my typewriter for journaling....makes my pages so much more neat!  I should really use my handwriting...but I don't always like how it looks. 

Showing one of the cute I Am chipboard frames as well as matching Bradz and chipboard.

I heart banners!! Love this gold accented chipboard banner! 

 I also added in this wood veneer word from Evalicious! When Audrey brought them into the MSAM shop, I bought all of them!  They are lovely for accenting your page or just as a title!

I added another small chipboard frame with more I Am embellishments!

My Scraps and More: Meet Me Under the Stars

Hello!  Yesterday I had a layout up on the My Scraps and More blog using Cocoa Vanilla's Hello Lovely collection.  I am a big fan of this great Australian company! The quality of paper is awesome!   I'm looking forward to their new collections coming later this fall! 

I love this photo my sister in law took of my daughter last month at the beach on Lake Michigan.  It's not perfect but it captures the fun moment Hailey was in with sparklers and just being a kid. Using silver foil paper, I used a fun cut file for my title from Just Nick Studio.  

Showing some of the vellum hearts that are one of the embellishments from Hello Lovely.  

I love the many prints and colors in this collection....I am a big fan of layering! I also added washi tape from my stash as well as used a stamp from Technique Tuesday. 

Using my Teresa Collins Fiskars punch, I created a banner across the top of my page. I added in brads from my stash to give some dimension.  

I had a journaling spot from an old scrapbook kit and thought it matched perfectly!  

I used one of the new flair badges from Evalicious' Photo Shoot collection. 

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you'll do some shopping at My Scraps and More! Use code

My Scraps and More: Life is Sweet

Hello! Hope you are having a good weekend!  It's been beautiful here in Central Illinois...perfect summer weather!  One of my favorite summer treats is ice cream! Today I'm sharing a layout I created for a My Scraps and More challenge!  My husband and I enjoyed some delicious waffle cones at Six Flags in June and I took a fun photo of the two of us!  

I used American Crafts Shimelle's True Stories collection for my layout. On my background, I used The Heart Burst cut file from The Cut Shoppe! I cut both the specialty vellum and a patterned paper and stitched through with my sewing machine.  

I used a wooden veneer word title from Evalicious' Life's Sweet collection! I am so in love with these fun embellishments!  

Here, I used one of the tags from the True Stories Die Cut shapes for my journaling. I also added a cute ruler and heart from the package. From my stash, I used some bright pink bakers twine from my stash, as well as fun flair from {a flair for buttons}. 

I love how the layering of vellum and patterned paper turned out!  I also layered more colors under my photo as well as added more die cuts.  

I also love the Cloud Die Cuts!!
