Elle's Studio Sketch

I got some serious scrappy time this past weekend and it was great. I dove into my Scrapdango kit and love all of these fun Amy Tangerine papers. I loooove the colors and of course this fun Chevron print. I think I had more fun using the bottom strips of paper than anything else. I love that companies are utilizing these strips for added designs. 

I used the Elle's Studio sketch for this, I just had to when I saw it and saw these two little wallet photos tucked together up at the top of the page. You MUST get the Layered Cut outs! I have a close up of the little date one I cut out. And Elle's Studio is having a hop all week long with some Lily Bee :) I wish they had sheets with just Date cut outs {wink wink}

The green cardstock is Tim Holtz Kraft-Core. This stuff doesn't leave my desk.

April Showers

April Showers Bring may Flowers....right??? So I will be thankful for the rain we are getting today. LOL! I can't complain, the breeze we had flowing through the house last night was amazing! And 80 degrees :):):) ... if only for a short moment ;) ;) ;)

So how is your week looking? time moves so quickly. I have some goooood news! I had a few cards picked up for the recent Cricut Magazine calls! Wahoo! I am so glad that I am using it more and more and it is such a great tool to have in your arsenal of scrappy supplies.

You know what else every scrapper should have???? AN I-ROCK! Back in the beginning of the month, I won an i-rock over at the Imaginisce blog!!! Not sure if you have even been over there (I am sure you have) but they are beyond generous with their give-a-ways so check it out. In celebration of my winnings, I wanted to post a fun little project I made with some Imaginisce goodies.

It is a fun little gift card holder and perfect for Spring. I love these crayon boxes. They are so great for all your paper crafting needs.

Some stamping on Core'dinations...

More Stamping... and I cut the layers for the flower & the butterfly with some Spellbinders dies and then embossed it.

And can you see the rubons on the clothespin?

Twig, Twig, Twig!!!!

Oh Twig, oh how I love the... hahaha....Seriously. I am almost out of it and I need more! :):):) It is by far my favorite line from CHA. You have to try the acetate woodgrain tape!!! swoooon....

First up is my layout for ScrapAttack Scrapbooking's monthly contest where LYB is the sponsor. All the patterned paper and embellishments are from the Twig Line (except AC alphas) and the the cardstock base is Core'dinations. The action on the photo is Sunkist from the CoffeeShop blog.

See that embossed polka dot under the photos? That is some of the packaging that I inked slightly.

Canvas tags = ellen happy.

And here are the awesome acetate stickers!!!!!!!!!! BE STILL my heart I love these! They are pre backed so I cut some strips and then ran them through my Cuttlebug :)

Next Up is a layout I did for the LYB sketch challenge. It's a layout about me in 2010...my goals, accomplishments...feelings...you know...a little recap. Just b/c this paper is blue and green doesn't mean you can't use it for girls ;)

Some Hidden journaling under the photo.....oh and remember that fun flower that I learned how to make last weekend over at Scrap Attack Scrapbooking??? Here is AnoTheR one!!! :):):) I used my Glue Arts Square adhesives. I just love that they are so sticky and flat...that way they don't make your projects all bulky.

And the sketch had this fun banner in the corner so I did something a bit different with it....

All Adhesives are Glue Arts.

DID YOU SEE?

Spring Market? omw. gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous! Brandin and Team outdid themselves...seriously. EVERY time they just wow me.

Um...navy and green?

Chipboard and TWINE???

Polka Dot Rain boots???

Make sure you head over to the Webster's blog for a give-a-way!!!

And if you didn't see Jeni O'Connor's GDT goodies you gotta head over to InspireME. She did the most amazing lifts of the past DT. We had no idea and it was the sweetest thing EVER! Here is my layout based on her inspirational layouts. I love how she layers and layers and I {tried} to do her justice on this layout.

AND don't forget Webster's Unity STAMPS!!! :):):) Cannot get enough of this Handmade with Love stamp. The cardstock stickers fit right in the box...love that!!!!

The background cardstock is Core'dinations from the Stacy Julian line. LOVE this stuff!

wahoo!

in my best chandler bing voice.... "could i BE any more excited?"

so i got an awesome email from Core'dinations telling me I am on the DT! I have used their products for some time and get all of them at HSS so I couldn't be more excited. I actually used some this weekend for some NSD inspired layouts.  I used my self portrait photo for this one and {fianally} used my EK Success Swiss cheese punch right on that photo strip that I always feel I am cutting off. So in honor of Earth Day... I saved that strip, lol! 

Here is my crazy dog, Chase. He jumps so high! He can jump over my neighbor who is 6'3"! I used the CMK Friday Formula for some inspo here. 



and of course some Glimmer Mist!

OOPS! and more Glimmer Mist! I used the AC Subway shapes as a mask. 

Tonight is the night for the Webster's Pages chat over at Serendipity! Be there or be square!

Also, we have been posting away over at Forward Progress, not long 'til our first prompt!

Can we please talk about polkas? my favorite? i wish creative cafe would just send some of these my way!?



Just wanted to share a lo i did a few weeks ago for a challenge over at Simply Obsessed to stitch on your layout by hand. This must be a fave of mine! I broke out the circle punch and lemme tell you, i haven't put it away yet! and i am diggin' the coredinations papers, they are fun! and i love this blue color i got my hands on, different than i normally use. {sigh} my little henry...cuteness!




hope to see you at the chat! and sorry for being all over the place tonight, lol! that is how the brain works sometimes, at least for me!
