I’m Super

| cristina

I had so much fun making a page with the new releases at The Lilypad!

This kit is bright and versatile – just what I like! I also loved using these cards by Emily Merritt – I love the design of these so much!

Finally, I know I will be using this chevron pack by Kaye Winiecki over and over!

And here’s my page! The kit inspired me to do an all about me page, so I went with it, and I’m glad I got these thoughts on paper!

I'm Super

Journaling:
OK, Iā€™m not really super.. But I have come to realize more and more in this last year that I am not happy unless I take on many things at once. I always complain about hardly having enough time to do it all, but in truth I would be completely lost and bored if I only did half of what I do ! šŸ™‚

I have another page to share, I will post it later today. šŸ™‚

It’s Here

| cristina

Leora Sanford has a new collab with Paislee Press today! I love the style of both these designers, so I was really happy to hear they were working on a kit together! It did not disappoint!

I had my first salted caramel macchiato ever last week, and I loved the instagram picture I took of it, so I thought it would be fun to make a page about it. šŸ™‚

Desperately trying to get to the end of the week.. I have a couple of extremely busy weeks ahead of me, but I am so tired already! I do have quite a few more pages to share, so do stop by soon. šŸ˜‰

Neon card

| cristina

I recently bought some Hero Arts neon yellow ink pad and hadn’t tried it yet, so I used it to make a card. I based it off a sketch by Page Maps. šŸ™‚

  Shine On

It’s a really fun color! I made a cloud by misting a cloud-shaped piece of vellum paper with Mister Huey’s Calico White. I love how it turned out, and I will certainly be misting vellum again!
The stamps I used are from a sold out set by Studio Calico, and the sun is from a Studio Calico mistable element sticker set on which I used the neon ink. I also stamped some letters and a star from the EK Success Image Tree typewriter alphabet. The base for the card is American Crafts white cardstock.

Feels Like Fall

| cristina

It most definitely feels like fall around here, so my weekly card for DH is an autumn card. šŸ™‚ I used the gorgeous new collab by Jenn Barrette and Kristin Cronin-Barrow:

It totally seems like summer is over today, so it’s nice to soak up some of the sunshine in these pictures! šŸ™‚

September BYOC

| cristina

How can it be September already?? Well, the September BYOC is so pretty that it almost makes me glad that a new month is here. šŸ˜‰ I made the most of Labor Day and scrapped a couple of pages. Yay!

The theme of this BYOC is back to school, but I found it versatile enough to use it for a variety of topics.

Life Is Good (Mostly.. ;))

| cristina

I really enjoyed my day off for Labor Day, and scrapped three pages! Here’s one of them. I made it for the September scraplift challenge at The Lilypad, and I kinda love how it turned out!!

I’ll keep this short and sweet, because this has NOT been a good day. I went to the office this morning, and my laptop died. I wasted my day doing a backup and going to the Apple store, and I am now hoping they can fix it, and fast. Not a good start of the week at all! The only good news is that we only have 3 more days to go until the weekend, and only 2 until the September BYOC! šŸ™‚

Project Life – Week 23

| cristina

I’ve had this spread ready to share for a while now, finally I’m getting around to posting! This was the second week of my mom’s visit. Not nearly as busy as the previous week – I managed to fit everything in with just one insert (I used the Design H from the Photo Pocket Pages – Small Variety Pack 1). Yay me! šŸ™‚

Project Life - Week 23

The color scheme this week came from Cosmo Cricket’s 2WENTY-THR3E collection. (Plus, I thought it would be really cool to use it for Week 23! LOL)

Project Life - Week 23

I used a few Cosmo Cricket tags (2WENTY-THR3E), and embellished them with some chipboard stickers, stickers from the Project Life Clementine kit, and the EK Success Image Tree typewriter alphabet stamped with the Tsukineko Small-Size VersaFine, Smoky Gray(I love these small ink pads!). Papers are mostly from the Cosmo Cricket 6×6 paper pad

Project Life - Week 23

I created background for two of the pockets by misting some Mr Huey custard and overdue mists on American Crafts white cardstock  using a Studio Calico chevron mark.
I added in quite a few bits of memorabilia this week. šŸ™‚ Here’s front and back of the insert:

Project Life - Week 23

And here are a few of my favorite details of this week!

Project Life - Week 23

I cut the frame with my Silhouette Electronic Cutting Tool. Fun! The date stamp is the usual K&Company Smash Stamp.

Project Life - Week 23

On the title card I also used the Stampendous Tiny Alphabet, which is my favorite little alpha stamp.

Project Life - Week 23

Here are the journaling cards I used for the insert – they are from the Project Life Clementine kit, and I embellished them with stamps. I used the EK Success Image Tree typewriter alphabet for “dinner” and the stars; “good times” is from a sold out Studio Calico set; the jar is from Dear Lizzy Neopolitan Stamps; the flowers are from Buttercup Clear Stamps (Lily Bee Designs); the fork+knife are from Let’s Eat by TPC Studio. The inks are Tsukineko Small-Size VersaFine (Smoky Gray) and Spiced Marmalade Tim Holtz Distress Ink. I also embossed the fork and knife with Mustard Zing and Tsukineko VersaMark clear ink. The little newspaper flower is from Summer Camp by Kate Hadfield and Sahlin Studio.

I’m almost done with week 24 (just need to add some journaling) so I hope to share it soon. šŸ™‚

For the Record

| cristina

I am a huge fan of Valorie Wibbens, so as soon as I saw the kit she was releasing this week at The Lilypad, I knew I wanted to use it. šŸ™‚

Isn’t it just lovely? I started using the heart paper as a background (I love that paper!!), but then I happened to try this bold flower one instead, and you know me… I cannot resist a bold background! šŸ˜‰ Anyway, I love how this page turned out. šŸ™‚
