First Kiss....

well for this little guy it was ( besides his mom of course!!)

Using Cosmo Cricket - Salt Air  "Coral Blooms"  & Co-ordinations cardstock that I sanded a little to distress it! Tiny Type & some thickers, and CC journal sticker complete the layout!




Take a close look at that last pic!  I think the look on my friend Hanh's face is PRICELESS!!!


ahhhh, young love:-)
I hope you feel inspired!

Mama-Razzi....

well I guess I kind of am - and here is proof as I was caught in the act!!



this layout has a little story...at the Fall Crop, I had walked by our beautiful "Wall of samples" Friday night many, many times. But then on Saturday morning, before anyone else had even arrived I took a closer look, just to admire all our designers great work...and then I saw this layout - I was shocked!  I was even brought to tears wondering who could have done it???  Well when Marilyn had arrived I asked her, she said my wonderful Mother-in-law Marlene had done it, and when Marilyn had seen it, she thought it was great and we needed to add it to the wall.  They wanted to see if I would notice - and I did. And my heart just smiled as this layout is really so me, I am not often in the photo, but can always be seen with a camera in hand.

                                                       I hope you feel inspired today!

Salt Air - Cosmo Cricket

Just a few pages with this fun summer line!



see that "hint" of sun?  I used a My Little Bicycle die cut paper as my mask and sprayed over it with "Sunshine" glimmer mist.  I used the Martha Stewart "Seashell border" punch for the bottom border. The patterned paper & the little doilies are fr Cosmo Cricket.


Here is a layout of my adorable niece and daughter wanting to be mermaids in the sand at the beach!






I used Ali Edwards stamps, Salt Air paper, chipboard & stickers, Plain "Sunrise" chipboard thickers which I altered with Glimmer Glam and Glaze.

We still have Salt Air in the store and online!

I hope you feel inspired today!

scrapping those beach pages...

well I don't know about you, but I have a little "Beach babe" in my house, she's 4, she's cute as a buttton, and give her a sandpail, shovel and water and she is good to go:-)  Using the Whole Fancy Pants Beach Babe line, all the patterned paper, the buttons, the chipboard & flowers and brads. I scrapped all these 12x12 layouts about some of our days at the beach (well one layout is at the pool - but who's counting!)




























There you go - lots of ideas for your beach/summer pages today.  Now all you got to do is get into the store and pick up some of the beautiful paper and fun stuff!!
(P.S.- not quite sure what Fancy Pants was thinking with the 1 red patterned paper in amongst all the bring teals, greens and pinks...but oh well I still made it work:-)
This is the way I like to scrap when I have a large project, With a complete paper line, all the matching paper and accents, the ideas just flow, you use up every last piece of product for your project and then you can say "Loved using you, see you later!" and then grab another paper line and accents for another project :-)
I hope you feel inspired!

it's the Little Things...

isn't it? Siblings who get along "once in a while" beach days, being able to sleep in, going out to eat and not having to cook:-)  All these are "Little things" for me that I love!  I also love this paper line by Fancy Pants that goes by the same name...here are some layouts that are posted in the store now using paper & chipboard from this line!








I hope you feel inspired to scrap "the little things"  today!!
