colorful mixed media scrapbook page layout with heat embossed chipboard, paint splatters, 7 Dots, Creative Embellishments You Color My World, sequins, stenciling, in turquoise, fuschia, pale blue, and purple

Hi all! I was so in love with this month's kit from International Scrapbook Garden. If you caught my last two layouts (here and here), you know how versatile the goodies in the Colorburst kit are. I chose more muted tones for the last two layouts to satisfy my own scrapping mood, but I wanted to do something with the more colorful elements in the kit. The Creative Embellishments chipboard title "Color My World" was perfect, and of course perfect for a picture of my own little rainbow maker, the painter of the colors in my world.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Blue, purple, teal, aqua, and black mixed media scrapbook layout with 49 and Market, Dusty Attic, and Prima

Hey all! I'm in today to share a new layout for the International Scrapbook Garden Design Team. I've also done another video for a behind the scenes peek at at this layout's creation.

From my stash I used Finnabair Microbeads in Berry and art stones from a previous kit.

Check out the amazing Colorburst kit from the Toolshed Collection and get your hands on these amazing products :)

This month's kits are packed with gorgeous 49 and Market papers and flowers, and products from Kaisercraft, Gabrielle Pollacco, the Dusty Attic, 7 Dots, Prima, and Lindy's Stamp Gang, and it's full of versatility :)

Have a great week...hope you all avoided the BLIZZARD we had over the weekend. {We may live in Minnesota, but seriously, even us northerners are used to tulips by this time of year!}

My Pie for CSI

Pastel cat scrapbook page layout in pinks, blues, and greens. with thickers, sequins, die cuts

Hi all, and Happy Easter {and April Fool's Day}! I can't believe I haven't posted in almost a month! Sometimes you just lose your mojo. I've been transferring my the scrap area from our basement to our extra bedroom, so it's hard to find the mojo to create when your space is in limbo. Anyway, the transfer is nearly complete, just in time for the challenge at CSI: Color, Stories, Inspiration. Join us for a chance at some AMAZING prizes! Here's a look at this month's case file.

As you can see the theme is llamas. I was so excited to see this since we recently house sat a llama and alpaca farm! And of course, I took lots of pictures of Zae as he frolicked with the animals. I happily scrolled through my photo library...and I could not find them. I put it aside and came back to it again, sure I must have overlooked something. Nothing!!! I was so frustrated, and as the reveal was coming, I instead went went with a cat theme.

Nuts About You

Saturday, March 3, 2018

Hi all! Oh my gosh it's already March...third! I'm slacking as we head toward spring. Usually February drags by for me. Here in Minnesota, February feels like winter has been here forever {it has} and will never end {I'm not entirely sure yet that it will}.

I wanted to share my layout for the CSI design team for this month before it's April {or May}. This month there's a fun outdoorsy inspiration for you to play along with for a chance to win some fabulous prizes!

Have a great weekend :)

Snow Bear

Sunday, February 18, 2018

If you've seen my last few posts, you've seen some of the Winter Adventures kit from International Scrapbook Garden. I didn't have much for winter pictures printed at the time and I really wanted to dive in, so I hadn't gotten to really play with the winter elements yet. Then I found this picture of Zae in his bear suit from his first winter (two years ago!) and it was time to play with the wintery goodness in this kit.
