An Update | What's New

Hey Everyone! I know I usually have at least 3-4 posts a week with new layouts and scrap stuff, but this week got away from me.  I've been working on Design Team projects and a few just-for-me layouts, the girly started pre-school and I decided to pursue something else. Nope, not quitting scrapping!  I jumped in to the world of Jamberry.  I used to do gel mani's every two weeks and...

Pretty Little Studio | Oakley Avenue

The most perfect and cute and amazing collection is available for pre-order from Pretty Little Studio. Oakley Avenue is designed by the talented and kind Ashley Horton, designer and owner of The Cut Shoppe. Can we talk about that little fox?  The multi-colored leaves?  And all those arrows?  I am bananas for this entire collection! This is my favorite paper: And of course...

Hip Kit Club | Loved This

I have to be honest, I don't get the donut thing.  I'm about 100% sure I've never used a donut on a layout. That being said, I'm working towards being more..... random.  I'm not a theme scrapper.  I like eclectic and funky.  So here's to using a donut on a page, finally! This is a photo from Mardi Gras taken by my ultra-talented friend Rebekah.  Our friend Sasha loves...

Hip Kit Club | Wonderful

It's no secret I adore the files from The Cut Shoppe.  This scallop background is a bunch of fun and I had to buy it and use it immediately. I used Amy Tangerine products from August Hip Kit Club kits, I love that striped background paper. The yellow twinkle dots are from my stash. I wanted to use all three photos in this series so I printed them tiny; I know this drives some people...

Hip Kit Club | Hello Adorable Girls

My friend Sasha took this photo of our girls when we were on a lunch date.  It's incredibly sweet. I used Crate Paper and Dear Lizzy products on this page, the cut file is an exclusive from Hip Kit Club. You'll be seeing a lot of those Thickers on upcoming pages, I really really like them. Wood veneer alphas in a fun font!  I used Shimmerz No Yolking to color them. Mr. Huey's...

Hip Kit Club | Live Simply

I tried something a bit different for me on this layout with August kits from Hip Kit Club.  Instead of smooshing with spray inks I decided to use Prima watercolor pencils to add in a bit of color here and there. I used a water brush pen to doodle a bit, adding a few intersecting lines for some additional interest on the background paper.  No gesso this time, and the paper didn't...

Fancy Pants | Together

A new process video for you!  I used Fancy Pants Life is Beautiful collection and hand-stitched for what felt like forever ;) Life really is beautiful, isn't it? Have a happy day. x...

Fancy Pants | My Family My Crazies

Hello!  I had a comment on Facebook asking how I made my Wonderful World layout using a Gossamer Blue cut file, so I made a super quick process video! Backing cut files is very easy, especially when it's large pieces like this one. The family card is one I've had in my Silhouette library for years.  I finally used it!   Looking at this layout now, I think the title...

Gossamer Blue | Homie Love

When my girly was a tiny little thing, she referred to our NY Yankees gnome as "home."  And she carried that thing around like a baby doll. The Bloom & Grow line from Simple Stories seems like it was made for my girly and her love of the home.  I received all of these items in the August kits from Gossamer Blue. I used my Silhouette to sketch the Open Your Heart cut file from The...

Citrus Twist Kits | Voila!

I fell in love with the color story from Citrus Twist July kits. I started with a cut file from Just Nick Studio, and yes, it took a bit of time to back those squares!  But the end result makes it worth all the glue stuck to my fingers. I have had these photos for a while, wanting something just right to showcase the pix of my girly and her Nana.  Nana always has the most amazing things...

Pretty Little Studio | Your Smile is Like Sunshine

I have a new post on the Pretty Little Studio blog, I would love it if you would pop over there and check it out :) Smile ;) x...

Gossamer Blue | Camp Life

Those August kits from Gossamer Blue have really rocked me! This page is another one inspired by my friend Rebekah and her fabulous adventure this summer. Aren't her kiddo's adorable? I started this page with a super thin layer of white gesso, then added in some Shimmerz for a bit of color.  I used this adorable cut file from The Cut Shoppe to back the photo. I've been working so hard...
