I'm playing along with a color challenge at Lasting Memories today! This page came together so quickly after I found this challenge. I was really puzzled with where to start with this photo, but I love the look of this finished page.

I really loved the wreath design on this patterned paper. I built onto the wreath by adding some floral die cut pieces. I fussy cut some leaves out of other patterned papers and added those as well. Some of the bits I adhered with foam adhesive for some visual texture.

I added a ton of little puffy heart stickers from Elle's Studio as a finishing touch. Thanks for looking!

fun at the zoo.

 Documenting our nephew's first trip to the zoo! We visited him for the first time in September when he was about two weeks old and we all took a trip to the Columbus zoo. He slept the whole time :)

This page was inspired by a sketch at Paper Issues this month. I kind of went out of my comfort zone here, but I really like how this turned out. Used up a lot of Bella Blvd pieces on this design. Thanks for looking!

home.

Today I'm playing along with the first Scraplift Sunday challenge of November at Paper Issues! I used some of the Day Dreamer collection from Cocoa Vanilla Studio on this autumn page. I was not a huge fan of this collection so I only got two embellishment packs and two patterned papers.

Thanks for looking!

chill out.

Our Christmas holiday last year was totally different than any other Christmas I've had. We spent the week prior in Mexico! We came home on Christmas Eve. It was wonderful!

I used the Vitamin Sea collection from Fancy Pants for this page. The little tag is from Heidi Swapp Art Walk.  

I painted some gesso on my background so I could use some distress inks. I also used distress inks on the tag.

I super loved these rub ons from Fancy Pants. They're so cute & I haven't used rub ons in a long time. for my final touch, I added some acrylic stars from Elle's Studio. Thanks for looking!
