vacation happiness.

Hey friends!

I have a process video up for this page. I forever love this paper collection and it was fun to scrap one of my recent vacation photos. We went to Mexico in December and I love this cut file from The Cut Shoppe.

I made this page for the Paper Issues Go Go Gadget Girl challenge. I used my Silhouette & my WeR Memory Keepers QuickStik to adhere my sequins.

Thanks for looking!

winter fun.

Sharing a layout (and there's a process video!) made with sketch 192 from Sketch N Scrap! This was a fun page to do and I followed the sketch closely, just making the exception of using only three photos (instead of four). Thanks for looking!

Playing along with the January Bingo challenge at Scrap Our Stash today! This my newly married brother and sister in law the morning they left for their honeymoon! I love their shirts :)

I used my new Elle's Studio goodies again. Love all this stuff! I found a cut file at Paper Issues to make into a shaker for my title. I used up some Tweaky Teal, Easy Breezy Beautiful, and Ride the Tide Spiegelmom Scraps sequins. (None of these sequin mixes are available any longer!)

The colors of my page look weird on screen and I'm not sure why. For my Bingo, I used four patterned papers, sequins, banners, washi, and then I don't have layered stickers so I tried to make my own with my hearts. Thanks for looking!

other supplies
cardstock: Bazzill (Tropical)
washi: Doodlebug

XO.

My precious boy! I got my January Elle's Studio order yesterday and could not wait to play with this new collection. It's so pretty!

I'm playing along with sketch 404 at Sketches in Thyme and the split personality January challenge at Paper Issues. I "split" two patterned papers. I also "split" the two photos from the sketch - one photo and one tag. I sized this sketch down to 8.5x11 size as well. Thanks for looking!

sparkle & shine.

 

I'm playing along with Stacy's January challenge using cardstock, enamel dots, and stickers. I found this cut file (free!) at Paper Issues and made some shaker sequin pockets. I used Oh Christmas Tree (vintage sequin mixes no longer available) and Country Christmas.

Behind some of my ornaments I used Heidi Swapp gold Color Shine and some Shimmerz. Then I added a bunch of Elle's Studio holiday stickers, acrylic pieces, wood veneers, and labels. I don't have many enamel dots (literally four almost empty packs!) so I used some really old Prima Sugar Dots.

Thanks for looking!

grace [Challenge YOUrself #73].

Hi friends!

Today I'm sharing my first DT layout for Challenge YOUrself. I don't normally participate in one little word, but I started seeing a therapist late last year after my miscarriage and one of the things she said that really stuck with me was to allow myself grace.

Thanks so much for looking!

stickers, die cuts: Elle's Studio
cut file: Paper Issues Believe Bold Alpha

moments.

Playing along with Stick It Down this week! I run the SID blog and do all the administrative things... but I rarely make time to play along with the challenges. So this year, I want to play along more! I loved the single page sketch this month! I used one larger photo instead of the two smaller ones, but maintained the rest of the sketch pretty closely.

I'm using some of my Midnight collection from CVS. I think it pairs well with our bridesmaids dresses in this photo.

 Thanks for looking!

exploring.

So happy to be sharing a stash layout today! I used up some of my Paige Evan's Horizon papers (didn't get any of the embellishments) + tons of Elle's Studio stickers.

My page is based on THIS sketch.

Thanks for looking!

2018 living our best life right now.

I saw this year in review challenge at The Studio and knew it was time to do my 2018 review... because it's almost time to do my 2019 review!

I do a page like this every year with my Instagram "top nine" because I think it's fun and sometimes these are not photos that I scrapbooked. I used all of the PinkFresh goodies + a cut file from Paper Issues. I turned my 2018 into a shaker with Hex-a-Glam sequins from Spiegelmom Scraps.

Thanks for looking!

good vibes.

I loved this sketch #399 at Sketches in Thyme. I scaled down to 8.5x11 size for my page and I used Cocoa Vanilla Studio Happiness collection.

 Thanks for looking!

one in a billion.

Christmas card photo shoot was in our backyard this year! On a cold 43 degree evening. Everyone mostly cooperated :)

I was inspired by Stacy's December photo board with the Lab puppy and the dark, rich Christmas colors. I combined her challenge with Rochelle's sketch challenge. Here's my page:

Paper Issues has some cool woodgrain papers in the shop right now. I added lots of Elle's Studio goodies. Thanks for looking!

living the dream.

Playing along with the 11/10 scraplift challenge at Paper Issues this month. We are lifting Anna this time. Here's her gorgeous page using CVS:

I also used CVS on my page, scrapping a wedding photo from my brother's wedding this past September. I used a free cut file from Paper Issues for my title.

Thanks for looking!

the best.

I really wanted to document the gift my brother got for my mom last year. He had custom pet portraits made for her (and me, and his fiancee, and himself) and she cried when she opened it.

Hunter was her baby and just the sweetest boy. His portrait turned out amazing! I also thought the one of my brother's dog, Vanilla, turned out perfectly!

I followed sketch 398 from Sketches in Thyme. I grabbed a cut file from Paper Issues (they're free!) and made some sequin shaker presents. I used Lucky Charmer sequins from Spiegelmom Scraps. Then I embellished with some Elle's Studio and Scrappin Happy Studio flair. Thanks for looking!

falling leaves.

This autumn photo is of my boy from two years ago that I never scrapped.

I was inspired by sketch 188 at Sketch N Scrap. I used a free cut file from Paper Issues and flair from Scrappin Happy Studio.

Thanks for looking!

sweet.

How gorgeous was my brother's wedding cake?! Perfect for this month's Paper Issues Adspiration challenge.

I used the lovely Happiness collection from Cocoa Vanilla Studio and Gum Drops sequins from Spiegelmom Scraps. This cake cut file is from Handipaper Etsy shop. Her cut files are gorgeous!
