Senedra & Aurelia

Good morning! I can't even tell you how much I love these two faces! My middle child and her adorable cousin. They are so cute. 

I fussy cut out the doily and rose from a sheet and tucked it behind the corner of the picture. 

I love layering embellishments. The clusters I think add interest to a layout.

Thanks for stopping by! Happy scrapping! :)

Good morning! StuckSketches has a fun sketch to play with! I loved it! 

I started out with a white sheet of cardstock as my base. Then fussy cut an ampersand sign, adding ink to the edges.  It's always fun to be able to play with some mists and ink.

Here's a few other close up's.

Princess Layout

Hello! My layout today is of my cute little Princess. :) She loved wearing hats. I've been holding onto an old kit from Imaginisce called Enchanted. I'd been saving it for the perfect picture(s). I think I found one. :)

I loved adding and layering all the embellishments. They were perfect. I did punch a border using a Martha Stewart punch on some grey cardstock. Here's a few close up's of all the fun embellishments. 

Thanks for stopping by! Have a scrappy day! :)

Scrap With Us {Full of Personality}

New month, new challenge! Scrap With Us has a fun sketch challenge to share with you. Here is my take on the sketch.

It was such a fun sketch! I loved all the fun and different embellishments it allows for you to use. Here's some close up's.  I did some layering faux stitching with a white Signo pen around the word "Trouble" and used some metallic gel pens to create the circles in the background. I also used some inks to splatter around. 

For some contrast on the title I used different size and style alpha's.

I love that adorable cork camera! Also, the button was the perfect yellow! It matched my papers so well. I did a tiny bit of journaling around my circle picture.

Now make sure to go check out the sketch over at Scrap With Us and join in the challenge. I would love to see your take on it! :)

Thanks for stopping by! Have a scrappy day! :)

Brrrr...

Nothing like going sledding on a cold January day! We went sledding down Old Main Hill up at the USU campus. The funny part was that we didn't have sleds and the girls just went sliding down on their bums! lol 

 For this layout I followed this sketch from Scrapbook Circle and combined it with a challenge from Paper Issues.

I love a sketch that inspires me to try something new, I loved those diamonds! Definitely something a little different from my normal style.

My favorite is the foam glitter covered 'BRR'. I love a little bit sparkle. ;)

Dia de los Muertos Layout

Hello again! How is everyone doing? Have you SEEN Moxxie's new line Day of the Dead? You haven't!? Uh.... what are you waiting for go! I'll even wait for you to go check it out, here's a link to get you there faster- Click HERE. I'll wait for you, just hurry!......................

Now, let me ask you again, have you SEEN Moxxie's new line!? It's gorgeous, right! The minute I saw this line I knew I had the PERFECT picture of my sister for a fun layout! 

Are you ready to see it?

What do you think!? Cool, huh! I started out with a base that I cut down by 1/4" on top and on the side, then adhered it to some black cardstock. Next, I sprayed and sprinkled some Heidi Swapp Gold Color Shine all over it and then let it dry. Then the fun of layering all those gorgeous papers came next. I did a bit of punching and some distressing on them. I also added a doily and some flowers.

For the title I used some of Moxxie's Alpha's. You can really see the ink splatters up close here. LOVE the glittery shine to them. 

As for this gorgeous sugar skull I did a bit of fussy cutting, propped it up with some 3D foam dots for dimension and lined it with a few Imaginisce jewels.

Love to hear what you think of the new line, let me know in the comments!

Thanks for stopping by! :)

Scrap It Girl {Smile card & Challenge}

Hello! Time for another Scrap It Girl Challenge! This month we are challenging you to use- brads, bling & buttons. I do so enjoy using all sorts of embellishments! :) 

I created a card for this challenge...

I created a tri-fold card and used some Imaginisce jewels and some brads on the front. I used the Imaginisce jewels in the middle of the flowers. 

Then on the inside I added a cute little flower button and added a couple of flowers with some more Imaginisce jewels in the middle.

Moxxie {3- Happy Birthday Cards}

Good Morning! How was everyone's Memorial Day weekend? It was quiet and rainy around my place, but very welcomed. The kids are mostly done with activities and out of school for the summer.  I'm ready for life to slow down for just a little bit! ;)

Today I want to share with you some really fun Birthday cards I made using one of Moxxie's new lines- Magical Moments. 

This line is so bright and colorful! I love how the colors are perfect for summer but it's the perfect line for any Disney trip layouts or projects! Such a cute fun line. Want to see the cute Birthday cards I made using that adorable line? ;)

The really awesome part is when you open them! I used the same technique on all three for the inside but they all look different. We'll start with the first card on the left. The base of this card is black cardstock I then cut out a piece from the Magical Moments Cutouts and layered. Next I stamped the sentiment right onto the cutout.

Now for the inside.....  

I created a little "gift" with some balloons that I cut out freehand out of some of the scraps I had from this same line. Then tied on some bakers twine to the ends of them and stamped my sentiment along the top.

For the next card I started out with a red sheet of cardstock for the base. I then rounded up some scraps I had and cut the ends to created little banners. Then using a black journaling pen to create some faux stitching around the edge. 

Onto the inside. I love stars! I just fussy cut them from the sheet Wishes and adhered them all over.

Last but definitely not least..... For this one I used a yellow cardstock base layered with a piece from the sheet Dreams Come True. Next I added "Happy Birthday" using Moxxie's Black Alpha's. I then used the banner from the sticker sheet, added some Imaginisce jewels in between each one and a few by the sentiment.

If you thought one "gift" was cute, in the first card you'll really love this one! I love how adorable the gifts look stacked up. I wrapped some ribbon on each one and added bows, to really make them look like gifts

Now I told you at the beginning that I had used the same technique for the inside of all three cards. I found this awesome pin on Pinterest and had to give it a try. To see it Click HERE. 

I loved how fun and easy these cards were to make!

Moxxie {Unique & Blog Hop}

It's time for another fun Moxxie Blog Hop and giveaway! Details on how to enter at the end of my post. First, let me share with you a layout using Moxxie's new line Tiny Dancer!

It's so much fun watching my daughters perform. Senedra this year chose to do a dance class and has loved it! They got a chance to perform at a basketball games half time. The song they performed to was Unique by Lenka. Such a cute song and the reason for the title of the layout.

I used quite a few strips of designer paper and barcode strips, behind the main colored pictured of my daughter. Also did some distressing around the edges on them. If you look closely you can see I've "popped" the picture up with some 3D-foam dots to make it more "pop" on the layout and because I hid journal card behind it. 

Here's a picture of journal card in and out. You can see I added some little Imaginisce jewels along the top and bottom of the journal card and a little sticker from the sticker sheet to create the little tab. That way it would stand out a bit more from behind the picture. I love doing little hidden pockets like this occasionally on my layouts.

These cute banners are stickers that coordinate with this line and then I just adhered some sequins all over the layout to add a little sparkle to it.

I love these curlies that come on the sticker sheet! They are so cute. 

I used Moxxie Alpha's for the title.

This tag I popped up for some more dimension with some more 3D-foam dots, sanded and distressed the edges and added some black brads to an end.

I love how this layout turned out and all the different textured and dimension I was able to add with just the paper.
Thanks for stopping by! :)
