Paper Issues: Food for Thought

Hi Everyone...I'm up over at Paper Issues today with a layout for our latest Issue, Food for Thought.  I had a fun time playing with the new Teresa Collins Something Wonderful and the June Swag Bag from PI.  Here's what I came up with, a tribute to my favorite "food":

 

There were some fun gold goodies in the Swag bag this month ( the gold triangle vellum banner, the gold hearts & the triangle sequins ) which inspired me to add some shiny & gold to my layout.  I painted the rings from the placemat, and the wood sequins (also in the Swag Bag) with some gold paint and added some gold paper from Stampin' Up from my stash.  I topped it off with some gold stitching.

 

I love the Something Wonderful Ephemera and stickers...they were perfect for my "Ode to Coffee".  To complete the layout, I printed a fun coffee quote on one of the "paint chips" from the Cards Paper.

 

 Link up your projects to our Food for Thought Issue and you could win a super-cute stamp set from our sponsor, Some Odd Girl Stamps! 

 

 

That's it for me today, I'll be back next week with some Doodlebug projects.  Thanks for stopping by!

 

Be YOU tiful

We got a really fun take home kit from the Right at Home Scrapbooking Layout Workshop last month.  It was Teresa Collins Stationary Noted collection, and I have to tell you I LOVED it!  The colors are great and the embellishments that go with the collection are so fun!  I immediately thought of this picture of my daughter doing "the Titanic" thing on a cruise last year.

 

 

The title was Pinterest inspired.  I thought it went well with the quotes included on some of the punch-out die cuts.  I layered a few of the border strips and embellished them with some Solid Stone Twine from The Twinery. 

 

The enamel dots and flower embellishments did not escape my shopping cart.  They're such a fun way to add splashes of color.

That's it for today...I'll be back next week with some projects for The Twinery. Thanks for stopping by!
