Simple Stories - Say Cheese!

Last month I got to play with the fun and magical line 'Say Cheese' from Simple Stories for my Design team at The Scrapping Nook.
I love how it has such a Disney theme, so I had to go way back to my trips to Disney World 10 years ago! It was so much fun creating these layouts!

lighting wasn't good for this one...

Glitz- Wild & Free ....

I recently did a week showing off the Wild & Free line by Glitz for the Scrapping Nook's design team. Here's a look at what I created:

I (Heart) Summer Class....Simple Stories

If you are in the Niagara Region, I am teaching a class using the Simple Stories I (heart) Summer line. It will be held at The Scrapping Nook in Port Colborne on Sunday July 14 at 2pm. We will be doing a double layout as well as 2 single layouts. You will receive the 12x12 paper pack with 2 sheets of stickers and transparent overlays, plus cardstock stickers, brads, extra paper and bingo cards for only $22!! It's a steal!  There will be TONS left over for you to keep creating at home! This line is full of fun bright colours and summery images, I love it! 

These are the samples of what we will be doing, however you are free to change up the details to fit your own photos. If you are like me, I like to have my photos printed  out and ready for scrapping, rather than leaving it blank and adding them later....so take a look and decide what you want to fit in each layout.

You will need to bring the following supplies:

-scissors

-cutter

-adhesive

-dimensional pop ups

-white gel pen (I will have mine if needed)

-pen for journalling 

I will have the ink, sponges and punches to share.

Hope to see you!
Limited spaces available, call the store to book your spot asap!

Father's Day Card

I'm doing a swap for masculine cards, and thought it would be perfect to do a Father's Day card. My mom found a piece of fabric so I decided to make a shirt card. I just cut the top and folder it over to make a collar. Then added some buttons and a little pocket. I stamped 'dad' with Stampin' Up's  Sweet Shoppe alphabet set. Then finished it off with a cute little 'hi' wooden pin from Little Yellow Bicycle.

You & Me - Layout

This is a layout I did for my  May Diva week as a design team member for Scrapping Nook.

I used the Teresa Collins Summer Stories line which included, paper pack, chipboard stickers, brads and enamel dots. I love all the colours and cute banners, actually I loved everything in this line! You can get all these items for a discount by pre-ordering them on The Scrapping Nook's Online store!

Mash up card

I did this card last month for a swap. I used Stampin' up cardstock with the honeycomb embossing folder, then sanded it a bit. Also used paper and stickers from the Epic Day line. Aren't those little bottle caps cute?!

Honeycomb 3x3 cards

I had some scraps left from my Mama-razzi papers, so I made up these cute little 3x3 cards using the Honeycomb embossing folder from Stampin' Up! To make the cute honeycombs on design paper, just emboss that too and cut them out...super easy and it really makes an impact.
