I lied.

I do have another layout to share with your that I made for ScrapStreet. Although it seems almost silly to post it now. It's the layout I made for my Holiday Piece article. But I have to share it with you because I just loved how it turned out. Here's the layout:

I found an image in online clip art. I then printed it and used it as a template...cutting different parts of the reindeer out of different pieces of paper and then piecing it all together.

Isn't he cute? :) Here are some more close up's...

Well it's the last week of school for the kiddos. Just got to make it through it. I actually look forward to having them home and playing outside a bunch, as well as hitting the pool and going on some fun trips/adventures.

Have an awesome day!

Zva Creative

Ok...I think this is the last catch up blog post for stuff I've done for ScrapStreet...I think. In March ScrapStreet featured Zva Creative in the Showroom. So I got to play with their bling and flowers! :) Here are some things I made...

Now this first layout was one I wasn't extremely happy with. It just didn't match my vision. That happens sometimes. So I was really surprised when it was feature on the first page of that issue in the table of contents. I should have known...it's always the layouts that I'm not sure about that everyone seems to love. :) Here it is...

I do love those bling trees...they are so cool. :) Here are some close up's...

And another layout...

The close up's...

And finally a very simple card...

You can view complete supply lists for my projects in the feature on Zva Creative in ScrapStreet.

Thanks Zva Creative for letting me play with your goodies. :)

Unity, I adore you! :)

Ok...so it's no secret that I ADORE Unity Stamp Company! They are by far my favorite stamp company out there. Their rubber, their quality and their designs are the BEST! So I was thrilled when ScrapStreet featured them in The Showroom last January. Here's one of the layouts I made for that article:

The stamps are of course from Unity. The papers and stickers are all from Webster's Pages (another favorite of mine!). To view the whole supply list, go here.

Here are some close up's for ya...

You can view the Unity showcase article here. If you haven't tried using stamps on your layouts I HIGHLY RECOMMEND trying it! I love stamping. :)

Hope you have a remarkable, fantastic Monday.

TaDa!

So I am still posting stuff that I missed posting on the blog. Back in February ScrapStreet featured TaDa Creative Studios in the Showroom. I was one of the lucky gals that got to play with their fun papers. I just loved their laser cut cardstock...they had shapes cut out of them! Here are two layouts that I made using their stuff:

And the close up's...

And then on this one, I really just layered some die cuts and my photos. That laser cut cardstock really is what makes this page. I did just adhere a piece of busy patterned paper behind it.

And the close up's...

To see full supply lists and design notes check out the TaDa Spotlight here.

Hope you have an amazing day! Make it count!

LOVE Canvas! :)

I love love love using canvas on my projects. Back in March I wrote an article about using canvas on your layouts and cards. I loved seeing how others used canvas too. Click here to view that article.

Here's the layout I made for that article:

I mainly used the canvas as an embellishment and it even is placed kinda in the background. I lightly spritzed it with ink and stamped on it. Then layered it with all the embellishments around the photos.

Here are some close up's:

I used the fabulous Bella Doilies stamp set from Unity Stamp Company. LOVE this set! The papers are from My Mind's Eye. You can find the complete supply list here.

Life seems to be getting back to normal around here. Last night I booked my flight and hotel for a vacation to Maine this summer! I am super excited about...I've never been there before. Anything I just HAVE to do while I'm there?

Well, as always...thanks for stopping by!

Have a wonderful day!

Change. And Happy NSD!

So if you have been involved with Scrapbook Challenges at all, then you know by now that I am handing it all over to Brynn. She will do a wonderful job with it...I am actually excited to see what she does. I couldn't put it all in more capable hands.

This weekend they are doing some fun and fabulous NSD challenges and games. But what has really touched my heart is that they are doing a "Thank You Pamela" blog hop! And I seriously feel humbled and loved. THANK YOU LADIES! Thank you Brynn and the fabulous design team! And thank you to everyone who has been a part of my Scrapbook Challenges dream over the past several years. You all have made my day. You can start the hop HERE. Please go leave them all some love!

And I do have a layout to share with you today. It is not new. I made it for the April article I wrote for ScrapStreet. The article was called "Something to Say" and is all about using word bubbles on your projects. I actually ended up cutting this specific layout to make room for more fabulous reader submissions. :) You can read the article here. And here is the layout:

It uses fun papers from Nikki Sivils Scrapbooker. Here are some close up's:

And if you haven't checked out the May issue of ScrapStreet, what are you waiting for?

Check it out here! My article on amazing trees can be found here. But I did have a lot of help with this particular article, so I don't feel like I can take credit for it. The editors basically took it over for me. But I was SO excited about all the AMAZING projects I was featuring in it, so I hope you go check it out!

ScrapStreet is going through their own change. But I don't think they have announced any of it yet..so stay tuned for that.

Ok....only one last thing to say...

And most people I know question my sanity when I say things like this....

but...

HAPPY NATIONAL SCRAPBOOKING DAY (weekend)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love this hobby! And I love that we have our own national holiday! :)

Take care!
