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: Remember

Today on the My Scraps and More Forums I have a layout for the Mix It Up Monday Challenge using Dear Lizzy's new Documentary collection!  This line is so fun to create with as the prints are bold and the colors bright!

I used one of the Documentary Word Thickers for my title as well as added strips of Amy Tangerine's new thin washi from her new collection!  (that was a must have!) 

The ephemera pieces from Documentary are so cute without being too girly! Also, I am loving the wood veneer buttons!! 

Also new in this collection is a roller stamp with new sentiments!  I think I have pretty much all that AC has released LOL 

I used two of my hand punches to create this fun banner across the upper corner of my page! Of course, nothing is complete without some stitching! :)

Paper Camellia: Just Plain Cute

Hello! I'm sorry for my absence! . We've been without wifi for over a week. And I haven't been feeling that great. I went to the doctor yesterday and had some tests done. I suspect I have Epstein Barr again.  Last year, I was sick for over six months. I really don't want to go down this road again.  Any prayers would be appreciated.  

Anyway, I have a layout up on the Paper Camellia blog today using this month's Main and Add On Kits.  You can see a full description by visiting the blog.  

Hope you are having a lovely Friday!

Paper Camellia: Hello Joy

I love Tuesdays...its my day to get things done whether its housework, errands, or sit in my scrap room.  I was able to do a bit of each but did get a lot of DT work done!

Today on the Paper Camellia blog I have a layout up using this month's Main and Add On Kits. I love the colors of the papers....Ria always does a fabulous job putting the kits together! May is no exception!  For my background, I used the All Heart cut file from The Cut Shoppe and adhered strips of patterned papers behind.  I love how it turned out!  

I used one of the wooden veneer words and the Mint letter stickers from Elle's Studio's Cienna collection (both found in the main kit).  From the add on kit, you receive a full pack of the Amy Tangerine Rise and Shine clear stickers. I added a cute arrow to my title, as well as some enamel dots from My Mind's Eye's On Trend.

I cut a snippet out of the Elle's Studio "You Are" paper from the Add On it to accent my photo. I also added a bit of the mulitcolored washi tape from Rise and Shine, as well as a gold triangle enamel shape from MME.  

Loving the clear fuchsia camera from Rise and Shine!  I paired it with another wood veneer shape from Elle's Studio.  

You receive an assortment of the wood veneer shapes in the Main Kit! Love the variety! There is always many embellishments to choose from in the PC Kits!  

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to check out this month's kits at the Paper Camellia shop!

Have a great night!

My Scraps and More: Everything is Awesome!

This past week, I had a challenge up for Word Up Wednesday at My Scraps and More!  I asked participants to use the word AWESOME on their project.   So, today I'm sharing my layout! I wanted to use this cute photo of Noah at LEGOLAND this past fall. He was so in his happy place! We had surprised him with a day while in Orlando for Chris' convention.   I used Amy Tangerine's Stitched collection for my page. I love the colors and bright patterns!

 

 

 

For my title, I used a portion of a Silhouette cut file and the American Craft Thickers from the Stitched line. 

 

 

 

Using my Fiskars hexagon punch, I layed out different patterns across my page to make a fun collage. I also added some wooden veneer and cork stars from Studio Calico to accent.

 

I had some of the Stitched Ephemera left over from a past Paper Camellia kit so I added this cute camera, as well as a cork arrow.  

 

 

Thanks for stopping by today! Check out the MSAM shop...Audrey is getting new stuff in weekly!  And she ships super fast!  Have a great day!

 

 

 

 



Relax: Paper Camellia December Kit Layout

 

 Hello...Merry Christmas week (if you celebrate Christmas).  I can't believe its here already.  I am 99 percent done with shopping and have mostly everything wrapped. My favorite part of Christmas is watching my kids open their presents, followed by spending time with my family. 
Unfortunately, I've been battling some sort of stomach bug and have been pretty useless.  I worked today and am scheduled tomorrow but haven't done much else. I haven't been able to run in over a week.  And scrapbooking, well that's gone by the wayside too. I have high hopes of feeling better Wednesday and spending some time in my craft room.  I so need it. My anxiety is high this week and I know playing with some pretty paper will help. 

Today, I'm sharing a layout I created with this month's Paper Camellia Main and Add on kits.  I can tell you Ria (the owner) does an outstanding job of putting together the right mixture of papers and embellishments. And I'm not just saying that because I am on the design team! I was getting ready to start my subscription when she asked me to be on the team.  I just love creating with the kits! 

 

 

 

 

 

Love these Amy Tangerine Thickers that are included in the Main Kit!  They go with pretty much anything!  I also added some of the new Pink Paislee washi shapes..they come in this cute little booklet!

 

I layered some of the ephemera from the Amy Tangerine Stitched line and Pink Paislee Bella Rouge.  I also added a cute chevron arrow from Heidi Swapp.  

 

Thanks for reading..check out the Paper Camellia shop for this and more kits!  Don't forget to be on the lookout for January sneak peeks! I can tell you that next month's kit is GORGEOUS!!

 



Paper Camellia December Sketch

Whoa...December is flying by!  Not sure where time is going but Christmas is less than two weeks away!  Today, I'm sharing a layout I created with this month's Paper Camellia kit (plus add-on) and sketch by Kristine Davidson!

 

  

And here is my layout! I used many of the papers from Pink Paislee's Bella Rouge along with Amy Tangerine's new Stitched collection. Love the pinks, greys, and yellows togethether! 

 

 Included in the main kit is an entire pack of Heidi Swapp Wood Veneer shapes and words! Here, I used one of the stars along with some acetate shapes and tags from Pink Paislee.

 

 

More fun die cuts from the kits including a sentiment from the Stitched Ephemera pack and an acetate butterfly from Bella Rouge.  

 

I cut my stars on my Silhouette using the Echo Park Stars cut file (#38376).  

 

 

Included in the main kit are these Amy Tangerine Thickers that go with pretty much any project! 

 

I love this sentiment from the Bella Rouge collection!  I added a wood veneer arrow from Heidi Swapp and my date stamp from American Crafts. 

 

 

Thanks for coming by today......you have until December 28th to link up your own layout to the Paper Camellia gallery for a chance to win a GC to the shop!  Have a great Sunday!

 



Love This Life

Yay, its the weekend officially.  It's been gorgeous here in Central Illinois and we are trying to squeeze out every last bit of summer. The kiddos have their first day of school on Tuesday. (and its a full day!)  I have mixed feelings....I don't want summer to end but I am looking forward to getting my days to myself. Can you say uninterrupted scrapbooking!? :)

 

 

Today I am sharing another layout I created with My Mind's Eye's Cut and Paste. I am loving the prints and colors of this line!   I tried to do a grid sort of layout for my page.

 

 

Here, I used one of Two Peas in a Bucket's exclusive wood veneer frames. 

I did my journaling with my typewriter on one of the coordinating journaling cards. I added enamel dots and stamped with the Dear Lizzy sentiment stamp.

 

LOVE the ombre chevron patterned!  I added cute layered sticker eyeglasses and moustache sticker.  I also stitched some pennants at the top of my rectangle.

 

Here, I used the Amy Tangerine embroidery stencil and thread to create the "2".

 

Showing two more of the coordinating stickers!  Love the arrows!

 

So I've done two layouts with this and now I want more! LOL Thanks for stopping by! Have a great weekend!

 



Sketch N Scrap #38 reveal

It's the first of the month and that means time for another awesome sketch reveal from
Sketch N Scrap!  Today's sketch is designed by co-owner Lisa Hidy. Love working with these sketches!
 

 

 

 

And here is my layout! Since it's August I wanted to do a back to school themed. I used papers from my July Studio Calico kit.  Love these photos of my little guy on his first day of kindergarten!  So cute and sweet!  Hard to believe he's going to be a big 2nd grader in a couple weeks.

 

I used Jillbean Soup's Alphabeans in red for my title, then added some orange chevrons cut on my Silhouette.  The stamped sentiment is from the Amy Tangerine Ready Set Go collection.

 

 

Here, I used a journaling card from Chic Tags' Everyday collection and my electric typewriter.  I then added washi tape from Pebbles and stamped arrows from the 7gypsies Postale Clear Stamp set. And my flair is from {a flair for buttons}...loving the  cute little camera!

 

Instead of circles, I used cardstock stickers from Basic Grey's Hey You set then stitched through with my sewing machine.

 

Love the different layers on this sketch!  I used many different papers including Studio Calico, Simple Stories, and Amy Tangerine.

 

Thanks for checking out my layout...be sure to head over to Sketch N Scrap for more takes on this sketch!  The next sketch will be out on the 15th!  Have a great day!
