Never Have Too Much Happy with Process Video (Paper Issues)

I'm sharing this layout I created today on the Paper Issues blog. I used the beautiful new Pebbles Spring Fling collection. I love my 6x6 pads and how you can have all the patterns to play with. I grabbed a piece from the Walnut Grove collection for my background and everything else is from the the Spring Fling collection.

A Girl and her Castle (with Process Video)

I decided to have a little fun today and get messy; well as messy as I want to get. LOL I used a Heidi Swapp stencil and some distress inks to create my background then dropped some Heidi Swapp Gold Color Shine on it. For the photo I used the beautiful new Pink Paislee C'est la vie to do a messy mat stack. It's such a shame you can't see more of the gorgeous paper.

Love (Free Cut File)

I have a beautiful layout I did a couple of weeks ago for Valentine's Day. I grabbed a free file from the Paper Issues store. Yes that's right! There are a lot of free files for you in the store.

 I cut it out of white cardstock and then went through my scrap bin looking for pink papers with a touch of aqua. As you can tell I had plenty. LOL



Once I got the pie shapes backed I took it to my sewing machine and made some stitches through it and around my layout. Then I grabbed some love embellishments and quickly finished it up.

Smitten with Process Video

I have a layout using the new Simple Stories Heart collection today. It's colors are just beautiful and even though it was more a memorial theme I couldn't resist the colors. I went a total different direction than the theme and scrapped a picture of my daughter. I did a little different than my normal design as well and went vertical. I love how it turned out.





Here's a look at the process

I wanted to keep all the embellishments in a horizontal line to complement the vertical design. I pulled all kinds of embellishments and layered them all up.

My Sonshine (Crafty Maven Getaway) Two Peas Throwback



This week on the Crafty Maven Getaway Youtube channel we're having a throwback to Two Peas in a Bucket Garden Girls. Most would think I would choose Shimelle and I really thought I was but I ran across this video by Paige Evans and changed my mind. I figure I talk about Shimelle enough and feature her quite often as my inspiration and so this was a nice little challenge for me.


Here's a look at my layout




And now a look at Paige's layout. I kept very true to her layout style and design but went with the colors and stars from the inspiration piece this week




Here's a look at my process

On An Adventure: Shimelle's Perfect Collection #6





Hello scrappy friends! I'm back today with another episode of Shimelle's Perfect Collection and one of my starting points. Sorry there's been a gap but I've been happily working on other projects. LOL



I started with a classic full background of two half sheets of paper divided down the middle. You can do so many things with this back ground as well as turn it where it's vertical instead of horizontal for different orientation of photos.

A look at the process

And some close ups




I had fun with this little printed embellishment to help complete my title and add some interest to all the straight lines in this layout.



I added in some circle embellishments to each cluster to soften the lines as well. Including some enamel dots and sprinkled mist.






If you've missed any of the other layouts or my supplies be sure to check them out.
