Amy and Lauren of Polka Dot Plum have a new kit out today – and I’m in love with it! 😉
I used it to make a page about how hard it is to fit all my interests in my busy, busy life. I love that jeans pocket!
Then I made another page about my mom’s visit, from Day 9:
I love the colors of this kit!
Two new collab kits have hit the ScrapMatters store, one last week and the other just today. They’re both huge and gorgeous!
This kit is packed with adorable elements, and I really love the color scheme! Here’s my page:
And then there’s this very sweet collab:
Perfect to scrap my spring favorites:
Happy Friday!
I have a new crush. Ashalee Wall is guesting at ScrapMatters this month and I’m in love with her designs! I have to admit I didn’t know her (I don’t spend much time at other sites) so this was a fabulous surprise for me! I like her style so much that I used a few of her products to scrap a page about our 3rd wedding anniversary. 🙂 Here’s what I used:
And here’s my page!
I made a few more pages about my mom’s visit (I’m nowhere close to being done with these, but unfortunately my crazy life is leaving me very little scrapping time lately!).
I made a matching page for the LO in the previous post:
This page is a perfect example of how when I am working on a page that doesn’t really convince me, adding things can turn it around and make me love it! I was struggling with the photo placement, but adding the floral brushes and the journaling really completed this page!
And with this I officially finished scrapping Day 1 of mom’s visit. 😉
Next, I finally downloaded the gorgeous collab by Mari and Nicole of Sugarplum Paperie. It is really fab!
This is Day 5 because I really wanted to use this kit and this pic of my mom and me was perfect for it!
I scrapped this no photo LO for Day 2 a few days back:
I just love the colors of this page!
Finally, I made a non CT page (gasp! 😉 ) and scrapped the last page for Day 2! 😉
I’ll be back later to show you another page I scrapped with goodies from one of the guest designers at ScrapMatters this month – I’m in love!
Mari Koegelenberg has a new collab out today with Jude Toone:
The colors are just adorable! I used this kit to scrap another page about my mom’s visit (I have so many more pages yet to make! 😉 )
I’m having a crazy time at work, and unfortunately I don’t see the end of it!! :-S This is really too bad, because I want to scrap, scrap, scrap! 😉
I was making a card today and, because for some reason I cannot seem to be able to print on only half a sheet of paper, I made another page for my art journal too to print along with the card. 😉 Am I the only one who tries to cover the most surface possible when printing one sheet of paper? 🙂
And in case this page made you wonder – yes, I did have a good weekend – eventually. 🙂
The worst part of my weekend was having to wake up early this morning (a holiday!) to drive DH to the train station. Oh well. I stopped at AC Moore’s on my way back home to buy some flowers and brads. 😉
As of now, my blog has widened to fit images 600 pixels wide. It was about time! 🙂
I was RAKed by Sylvie of Sausan Designs with a very lovely kit of hers, Hip!, so I finally took the plunge after drooling for months over the many creative art journal pages in the galleries all over digiland, and started my very own art journal. Of course it’s my interpretation, so it’s not over packed with stuff, but I really, really love these pages!
Yes, I did my first hand stitching on a project ever, and I love how it turned out! (it took me forever though 😉 ) You can’t really tell from the picture but there’s glossy accents on the flower. There’s also a half-face of mine blended in the bottom right hand corner, not sure if you can see it. 🙂
I used a notebook with pages of about 4″ – fairly small so you can’t fill the page with tiny details, but it’s so cute!
And here’s the second page:
The orange color on this page is not digi – it’s distress ink mixed with water. So cool!
I’m so excited about this new project! 🙂
There’s one kit in Mari Koegelenberg’s guest store at Miss Tiina’s that I haven’t shown you yet, and let me tell you: it’s a good one!
The papers in this kit are amazing!! And like her whole store at Miss Tiina’s, this kit is 50% off for the rest of the month!
I used it to scrap a page about my mom’s visit (this is day 9, and no, I haven’t scrapped days 2-8 yet, but I thought this kit was just perfect for this pic! 😉 ):
Have a nice weekend!
I am (slowly) scrapping my mom’s visit. Here’s another part of her first day:
I did this for the Tuesday Template challenge at ScrapMatters. I rarely use templates, but I really liked using this one!
I also made a card for today’s It’s in the Cards challenge and I really LOVE how my card turned out!
And here’s a detail of the froggie and all the stickles:
I also entered this for a contest going on at Tim Holtz‘s blog. That man is such an inspiration! I’ve been expanding my techniques (and supplies too, LOL!) ever since I found his blog back in December.
Mari Koegelenberg has another, gorgeous kit at Miss Tiina’s (she’s guesting there this month) – and it’s 50% off as is her whole store there!!
I am loving purple lately – and I bought this lovely t-shirt on the recent shopping spree with my mom:
Love it!
So, today is my 3rd wedding anniversary, but sadly DH is out of town and I’m having a super-busy week at work – cannot wait for it to be over!
