Shenanigans

Happy Sunday Everyone! Paper Issues is sponsoring the sketch challenge over at Stuck?! Sketches this month.  The prize is a $20 GC to the Paper Issues Store!!!  I played along and this is what I came up with:

 

I finally got to play with some of my Recorded collection by Allison Kreft for Webster's Pages.  This is such a fun collection...it has great colors and embellies!  The pictures...well this is what happens when my daughter and friends are bored on the school bus... I guess I should be glad?!! The title was stolen (with permission of course ) from my co-designer at Paper Issues...Leslie Ashe.  I just thought it fit perfectly!

 

I LOVE the clips that come with Recorded!  

 I created the little Insta photo frame by sewing a vellum pocket into the opening and filling it with sequins.  The love was cut from one of the papers in the collection.  Well, that's it for today.  I'll be off-line for a few days for Christmas!  (that is IF I ever finish all there is to do beforehand!)  I wish all of you a wonderful Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year!   I'll be starting January with a bang and some projects for Creative Scrappers and Doodlebug!

August Layout Workshop

Hi Everyone...just spent a really fun couple of days scrapping with some great ladies from Right at Home Scrapbooking.  I love getting together with these ladies...I wasn't very productive, but I did do a lot of laughing!

I have a fun layout to share today...it's our project for this month's Layout Workshop at Right at Home.  Take a peek:

 This picture is from our recent trip to Florida.  The girls were very excited to find a penny candy store in St. Augustine.  I guess you're never too old....  The papers are Sweet Note by Allison Kreft for Webster's Pages.  They're bright and cheery and perfect for this pic!

 

I used my Silhouette to cut an envelope from some vellum.  I used it to hold a journaling tag.

 

The little banner is held together with some of the new Solid Honeydew Twine from The Twinery.  This month's Layout Workshop will be held Thursday, August 22nd at 7:00pm.  If you're local and would like to join us please call Right at Home to reserve your spot!  Thanks for stopping by today and I'll be back in a couple of days with my project for the latest challenge over at The Twinery!

July Layout Workshop

It's been a while since my last post, but I have a good excuse!!  I was lucky enough to attend Create and Connect (CHA) in Las Vegas with the owner of Right at Home Scrapbooking!  We had a great time taking classes, seeing all the new scrappy goodies and meeting tons of people.  I'll try to post some pictures soon!

As soon as we returned, I hosted a big group at the July Layout Workshop.  We played with some Composition and Color from Webster's Pages and some fun Silhouette cuts.  Here's the layout:

 

Some more silly selfies of my daughter...so sad she's so shy.  These are from the 4th of July.  I used my Silhouette to cut the fun camera and view master shapes.  The camera is from Silhouette, and the view master slide is a cut file I purchased from 2Peas.

The cute little geotag was downloaded from Blinks of Life...a great source of some fun freebies! 

That's it for today...I'll try to get my act together and post some of the MANY pics from CHA soon!!  Thanks for stopping by!

I have Issues!

I can think of at least 5 friends who will have a snarky comment to my title...sorry to disappoint, but I mean Paper Issues!  Today is my intro post over on the PI blog.  Words can't express how excited I am to be part of such a fun and talented group!  As part of our post we were asked to give 5 random facts about ourselves.  I never scrap about me, so I thought it would be fun to make a layout featuring these facts.  Take a peek...

I had a lot of fun putting this layout together...I used Allison Kreft's new Composition and Color collection for Webster's Pages as my back drop and then sprinkled in lots of fun embellies.

Fact 1 - I am a crazy cat lady.  I know this will NOT be a surprise to most.  I decorated my photo with the cute kitty clip from Studio Calico, some fun Queen and Co. washi and of course the perfect flair from PandaEight.

Fact 2 - I'm secretly jealous of my daughter's ability to take awesome selfies...true story.  My selfies are very scary.  I decorated this photo with some painted corrugated words from Jillibean and some wood veneers from Studio Calico.

Fact 3 - I am addicted to coffee.  So true. I used a cute little coffee .studio file cut with my Cameo.

Fact 4 - My husband and I are huge Jimmy Buffett Fans and go see him every year...grass skirts and all.  I highly recommend this activity.  The tailgating is phenomenal and the people watching is pure amusement.  The stamps I used have been in my stash for years...and I love the little Instagram frame from Studio Calico!

 

Finally...Fact 5 - I have been friends with my husband since we were 15.  I do want to point out that we did not start dating until we were seniors in college.  I do know where all the skeletons are buried.  This pic is from our recent trip to Key West to celebrate our 20th anniversary.   I embellished it with more words from Jillibean and a SC wood hash tag.
