Seriously.. adorable! And I felt it was *made* for me to scrap this photo.. 🙂
So fun!

Love Is in the Air
I am smitten by the lovely new kit by Mari Koegelenberg and Sugarplum Paperie! Such pretty, pretty colors!
I have been super busy for the past 8 weeks or so, and have not been taking many pictures at all. But last weekend we went out for a bit to enjoy the pretty winter scenery, and I am glad we got a few good shots, including this one.
January Mixed Media Monthly
It’s time for a new Mixed Media Monthly (M3) kit at The Lilypad! This month’s theme is travel, and I am in love with it!!
I’ve got a few trips lined up, so it seems like this kit was made for me! 🙂 I used it and some add ons to make 2 photo less page and a regular page.

On this page I documented the favorite places I’ve been to. I’d return to any of these in a heartbeat!! I added a short sentence for each place. I loved making this page, it was like a trip down memory lane!

It’s a great month indeed for the M3! 🙂
I Need A Vacation
Truth…
I tried something new this week. I combined the gorgeous Enough brushes by Ali Edwards and the Holiday Hangover digital kit by Allison Pennington (50% off today!!!) to make a 6″x8″ page. I added some stamping in black ink and some embellishments to finish off the page.
I have fun experimenting with this size! And it was a very therapeutic page to make. 🙂
Yeah so my new printer is all installed and ready to go. I like it. Still need to figure out the right setting for 4″x6″ borderless printing though as it’s just a tiny bit off.
Pretty Winter
I know, it isn’t for everyone.. but I love winter. Nothing prettier than a sunny winter day.

Add to that some hot pink, gold and silver..? And a fun page is made! 🙂 I used some of the products in the 50% off sale at The Lilypad.
New Printer!
Hello and happy weekend! I have a busy weekend ahead, with lots of work I need to get done, and some play – I got myself a new printer! 🙂 But first, I want to share with you a couple of pages I made with some awesome new releases.
First up, a collection by Mari Koegelenberg that is super trendy, with the planner craze that has taken over the scrapbooking world!
I have not quite jumped in on the planner wave myself, but I have to say that laying out the month like this really inspired me. Who knows.. I may give this a go!
Next up, a bright, happy kit and journaling cards by Sahlin Studio:
I used this to make a hybrid page. I did this before my new printer arrived so I had to be creative using colors that my old printer would print (yellow was safe ;)).
And here are a couple close looks:
Have a great weekend!

I love how it turned out! I thought that those triangles resembled Christmas trees, and I love the bright colors.
Hello Twenty Fifteen
Yeah, I guess I am on a roll with pages welcoming the new year. 🙂 But when I saw these new brushes by Ali Edwards, I couldn’t resist!
I knew I wanted to use one of the brushes in a bold way. So I added a gradient color overlay, and printed it out on white card stock. Then I spent a loooong time stitching around it with four different thread colors. [why do I always underestimate how long it takes to hand stitch something?? LOL.. But it was totally worth it! ;)] I thought about adding some small photos + journaling + embellishments around the word art, but then I decided to make this a 2-page layout instead.
I just added some stamping, a journaling card and a photo on the second page, and scattered a few stars throughout.
I love how this turned out!
First hybrid/paper page of 2015: done! 🙂
Happy 2015! Challenge
