You Color My Life Beautiful Scrapbook Layout with Cricut Explore

 Many of you know I became a grandma (or Lolli) a month ago today.  This is my sweet grandson, Ace.

I had so much fun creating this layout.  It's been a long time since I've had new photos to scrap and this little man was just the inspiration I needed to get back into the craftroom and try something different.   I cut the title out of watercolor paper using my Cricut Explore.

Here's a video of this layout.  I encourage you to try the watercolor paper on the Cricut.  LOVE IT!

Elle's Studio week at ThermoWeb

Hello there!  It's Elle's Studio week over at Thermoweb.  I had the awesome change to play with Elle's Studio Love You More Collection.   I love everything about this collection.  It's soft muted colors are just my style.

 Stop by the Thermoweb Blog to get more details on this layout.  Don't forget to check out the adhesive collection while you're there.  Seriously, you can't beat the glue dots and foam adhesives, they are my go to!

 I also made this fun card from the same papers and embellishments.  I added a bit of glossy accents on the heart and some bakers twine to add a little something extra.


Thanks for stopping by!

Sweet Dreams

This is another layout from my Scrap-in.  On this layout I used a little of Sugar Chic and some No Limits.  I snapped this cute photo of my son this weekend.  Katie just loves to have him home.

Simply Family

 I made this layout last night at Michaels Scrap-In.  Did you know on the first Saturday of every month from 3-9 Michaels has a Scrap-In?  You can go to Michaels and use their machines (Cricut, Spellbinder, Cuttlebug, Xyron) and all of their punches, stamps, etc. and just scrap for just $5.  I am technically the Scrapbook instructor at our Michaels, but I am no longer teaching classes.  Just hosting the Scrap-in.  I've met some very fun ladies and once a month we scrap together.

Anyway, I have been introducing the ladies to Heidi Swapp products!!  They love all of the ColorPop and ColorShine.  They had no idea what it was until they saw me spraying, wiping and suddenly, I had them all watching.  Needless to say, they all left the first night with some ColorMagic Butterflies and Colorshine.  Last night, they bought more ColorMagic (Hearts and Arrows), and then they noticed the paper pads.  Yes, you guessed it!  They all left with either Sugar Chic or No Limits paper pads as well.

I just love both collections of papers.  I am not really good at packing to crop on the go, but with the Sugar Chic Paper Pad and the No Limits pad, I am in pretty good shape no matter what I'm scrapping.  I also love that all of the embellishments are included in the pad.

Blessings Digital Layout with Heidi Swapp Vintage Chic

I haven't made a digital layout in quite some time, so today, I thought I'd play a little.  This is my sweet daughter, Ashlea and her fiance' Richie.  I used some Heidi Swapp digital papers from the Vintage Chic Collection and a note card from the Sugar Chic Collection, a LivE frame and LivE sequins (I recolored) and a few digital brushes by Nancie Rowe Janitz.  I may actually try to recreate this layout with real papers and elements. 

Sneak Peak with Heidi Swapp Vintage Chic. Pink Paislee Shabby Sugarland and the Silhouette

I have been working on a special project. I have to admit that every aspect of this project has been out together, torn apart, redesigned multiple times. I have used a lot of Pink Paislee Sugarland and Heidi Swapp Vintage Chic on this project. More photos to come later.

Echo Park Very Merry Digital Christmas Layout

I made this using the Very Merry Christmas Digital Kit by Echo Park.  What a fantastic digi kit!  I just love Echo Park.  I can't wait to get my hands on the paper kit as well.  I'll be looking for it at Hobby Lobby.
