Scrapshotz November Kit Reveal

The Scrapshotz kit was the totally fabulous Simple Stories line - 25 days of Christmas! I love the rich colors and the variety of designs that almost made themselves into lovely cards all by themselves! I doubled up on the patterned paper so I have plenty to use for my December Daily, which I promise to share! If you want homemade easy for your cards, look to this line! The sentiments are from an Authentique Christmas Diction sheet.








This is a gift box for cards! I used a sheet of acetate for the lid so decorating the box was not necessary! These cards were done with the cute little Unity stamp that came with the kit. Easy-peasy!And just for fun, a heritage layout of myself from 1959. Forever ago! And a gorgeous photo of Jett at 1 month. The houndstooth pattern was a great match to the basket he slept in!


Thanks for looking! Have a great day!

Pagemaps Blog Studio Purge Sketch Contest

I love working with Becky Fleck's sketches. Basing a layout on a sketch like this one allows me to concentrate on what great products from my stash I can use! Thanks, Becky!

This layout is for a contest on her PageMaps blog. Loved these photos of Bowen playing in the leaf pile and using these gorgeous papers and embellishments!

June/July/August Tag Layouts

June Layout Tag at Scrapshotz. Scrapped some fun photos of Jett with the Bo Bunny Ad Lib line.
July tag was done with quiet photos taken of "Our Paradise" in Puerto Vallarta, using Fancy Pants - Beach Bum patterned paper and journaling spots, with some washi tape for interest.

For August's Layout tag, I used a very fresh photo of Art and Brey that was taken just a couple of days ago on the boat. The page uses Echo Park - Splash - patterned paper and fish stickers, AC Thickers (brown,) an older title transparency from MME and some ancient fish brads that I was lucky enough to find in my stash. (I knew they were there somewhere!)

Thanks for having a look! :)
