Baby Album

Hello!

Today I have a bit of a long post picture wise.  I wanted to share the baby album I finished recently for a friend.  Her little girl turned one, and this was part of her birthday present!  I kept the pages really simple.  All pages had a plain white background, double layered photo mats, and a Cricut cut and/or title (with the exception of one page that had sticker letters and a coloured digi).  I have already shared some of these images for previous Paper Playtime challenges, however most are new!  Hope you enjoy!

Ella Publishing Bootcamp - Day 1

Hello!

I am participating in the Ella Publishing Boot Camp (which at this point is finished, but I haven't had a chance to get to the challenges yet!), and wanted to share my first layout.  This combines both of the challenges issued on day 1 (not sure if that's aloud, but oh well :) ).  The first was to use a chart or graph for visual, grammar free journalling.  The second was to combine patterns using one of the methods of pattern matching taught that day.  Hope you enjoy!

Big Idea Festival - Day 3

Hello!

For the next two weeks I am participating in the Big Picture Classes Big Idea Festival!! This is a free class with awesome inspiration offered each day by different people from the scrapping industry! So fun! Each day we are given a theme word to work with. Today's word was 'Less'.

Colour Suite Challenge

Hello!

Today I am participating in the Scrapbook & Cards Today Colour Suite Challenge for July (I MIGHT be a smidge late on this one..haha).  This is a new challenge series S&CT is hosting, and this is the first of the series.  I SO LOVE the colour combo for this month!!  

I had sooooooo many paper choices to pick through, but ended up using papers from the Basic Grey Wander line (love) to put together my layout.  I also loved the look of the squares in the actual challenge picture, so I used this as my layout design.

Paper: Kraft Cardstock (Stampin' Up! - retired), Wander Collection Patterned Papers (Basic Grey), Vellum (The Paper Studio)
Embellishments: Rockabye Foam Thickers (American Crafts), Ruffled Fabric (Studio Calico FabRip), Scalloped Sticker (Studio Calico Anthology Collection), Heart Pin (Maya Road - coloured red), Label Stickers (October Afternoon), Paperclip (Tim Holtz Mini Paper Clips), Twine, Machine Stitching

Hope you enjoy!

Make it Monday #27 - Custom Copic Striped Ribbon

Hello!!

This is my second post for the day, so if you are looking for the Paper Playtime post, go HERE, or scroll down to the post just below this one :).  I wanted to participate in this week's Make it Monday challenge from Papertrey Ink, which is to create your own striped ribbon using copic markers.  I don't know if I LOVE this technique, although I see the value when you want a coordinating custom ribbon....
Here is what I came up with.

Hope you enjoy!!  Please leave a comment.  I love to hear from you!

Paper Playtime - Cool Off With Water

This week's challenge at Paper Playtime is to create a project with the theme 'Cool Off With Water'.  My favourite way to cool off with water is to go to the beach!  However I did a beach themed layout for the last challenge, so this week I chose to focus on my second favourite way to cool off - fun drinks!  These are not necessarily alcoholic drinks - my two favourites are just very simple additions of fruit to a beverage!. But if you are looking for some fun party drinks, I am sure adding a splash of vodka or some white wine to either would be delicious!! :)  I made a super cute recipe book using costars for the covers, and trimmed some white cardstock to size for the pages.  Each page is stamped with 'Ingredients' and 'Servings' on the front, and 'Instructions' on the back.  Hope you enjoy!  Be sure to head over to Paper Playtime to see what the other designers have come up with, as well as to submit your 'Water' themed project for a chance to win a prize from our sponsor, My Pink Stamper!!

I would love it if you would share your favourite drink recipes in the comments so that I can fill up my book (and begin tasting)!!  :)

Coaster Covers (Papertrey Ink)
Cardstock: Co'redinations
Patterened Paper: Imaginisce
Images: Labels (Recipe Box and Recipe Box Label by Papertrey Ink), Drink (Tropical Party by Stampin' Up!)
Inks: Pool Party, Calypso Coral, Lucky Limeade (Stampin' Up!)
Embossing: Welcome Baby Embossing Folder (Cuttlebug)
Ribbon is from my stash
