Prima's Princess Collection

My design team week at The Scrapping Nook this month featured Prima's Princess Collection papers and embellies including Say it with Crystals Adhesive Gems, and Lace doily stickers. Plus I used Heidi Swapp's new Dreamy Kraft tags on a few layouts.  I also used Maya Roads crochet trim and kraft butterflies.

Pink Paislee - Portfolio

Back in January, for my Design week at The Scrapping Nook,  I got to play with some goodies from Pink Paislee's line, Portfolio. I created 5 layouts using the papers and tiny tabs, as well as some Jillibean Soup Flashcards and Wise Word stickers along with some Maya Road crochet trims.

February Sketch- Heidi Swapp

Every month at The Scrapping Nook, we do a sketch challenge. As part of the design team, I have to prepare a sample. I used up some of my stash for my layout including, Heidi Swapp papers and sticker letters, Stampin' Up! ribbons and heart punch.

#selfie layout

This was from a 'Self Love' challenge on The Scrapping Nook. I took this selfie at a crop retreat in Banff. I used punched shapes to create a pattern on the left side. I also did some sponging with a honeycomb stencil. The papers are from Webster's Pages Family traditions line, and those cute wooden camera/polaroid pieces are from Maya Road. I'm totally addicted to enamel dots too! these ones are from MME.

Cat Drama

I made this layout a day prior to finding out my mom's orange kitten Jack had to be put to sleep for getting FIP, a rare disease most likely given to him by his stray mother. It's been a sad few days here, but I've taken tons of photos of Jack interacting with his big sis Sugar and auntie Lola through the last 5 months we had him.  Here's a layout I did of Sugar and Jack play fighting.

I miss you so much little Jack!!

Cupid's Arrow

Heres another Valentine themed LO for a challenge I did featuring my adorable cousin Caleb when he was a baby. I used Stampin' Up hear die cut page as well as glitter dot pp from Teresa Collins, Maya road arrow clip, cork arrows from Studio Calico.

Happy Valentine's Day!

I did this layout for a challenge on The Scrapping Nook's message board called 'Hearts to DIE for'. I used two different sets of heart framelits/dies, as well as a punch from SU. The papers are also from SU! last years Vday line. Other embellies include the people stick pins, wire clips and resin bird from Maya Road, glitter hearts from MS, Brads from Teresa Collins.
