Say Cheese | Paper Issues

Good Morning Friends!

We have a great "issue" this week at Paper Issues called Fallin' For You 
I have a layout that is " fallin" related  - First, these papers were going to "FALL" in the recycle bin if i didn't use them, and second my niece has a tooth " Falling Out" !! So that fits the theme this week right?

I used papers from Amy Tangerine's Cut & Paste Collection.
Interested in spending some money today?! Sure you are... Cassie has a few new items in the shop and I'm sure you'd love a PIZZA BOX on your door step next week ...

Good Morning!

It's reveal day at Creative Scrappers today!
I created this sketch - with a bit of simplicity in mind and layering of course. If you haven't seen our reveal yet today ... CLICK HERE to be inspired!

My layout was created using the new Bella Blvd Halloween Collection called - TRICK or TREAT! Yes, i created this page using a Halloween Collection.. imagine!

 I loved the blue colors and of course adding black cardstock adds a bit of dimension and I LOVE the outline this gives my pages. I know it's probably not the " IN " thing, but I love it !!

See, these trick or treat papers aren't just for goons and goblins! ;-)

To my Canadian Family and Friends - Have a great Thanksgiving!

Just Be You | Layout

Hello Friends

I have a layout to show you today ! I created this last week or maybe two weeks ago and just got around to taking a picture and blogging about it.

I used the new MME Collection Cut & Paste. It's really cute, and I love the colors. That Pink is for sure a favorite.

Well, as i post this I realize I need a good .. i mean GOOD paper trimmer. For sure  the Fiskars one i have is no longer doing it for me. I see a lot of ragged edges on my pictures and pattern papers and it drives me crazy! Do you struggle with a good paper trimmer?

Alright, I have my Micheals coupon and my Starbucks card..
Talk to you later !

Paper Issues | Halloween Theme

Hello Friends!

The Theme this week at Paper Issues is - Halloween Hootenanny! I will be the first one to admit that I might have 2 pages with a Halloween theme in all my albums. It's just not something hubby and i " celebrate " and since we work shift work - we usually end up working for those that have children.

This is a layout i created in 2011.. !! yup, so many moons ago but it's still relevant to our theme this week. It's a photo of my niece Megan ( age 4 ) and she totally loved her little witch outfit.

The papers used to create this was an older collection from Bella Blvd called Too Cute to Spook! 

You can purchase the latest Bella Blvd Collection here at Paper Issues -- Remember you can save 20% Off by using my name KRISTINE as a coupon code!

She is ... 10 | Layout

Do you ever try and create something totally out of your comfort zone? Ever get bored with your pages or maybe that's just your " Style". Well sometimes when i'm creating I feel like i'm stuck. I love most of my pages but often wish I could do a little bit more. This layout is kind of a .... I'm gonna do something different layout.

I was playing with a little Bella Blvd and wanted to add something different to my page. Stop the layering, and maybe do... something with a diecut background.
Well, this is it!

I'm not crazy about it, but i don't dislike it. It's different, and i'll leave it at that!

She is ... 10

what do you do when you want to create something " different" a sketch? a challenge? a scraplift? Please share!

Thanks for visiting today ;-)

She's Lovely | Layout

Hello Friends,

I've had a great deal of fun the past 2 saturdays - scrapbooking with some friends and catching up. It was much needed time away!

Today, i'm sharing a page I created using Fancy Pants - Trendsetter. I love the mint green and navy blue in this collection. This picture of my niece was perfect for it!
Sometimes I struggle for titles on my pages, lately I'm not stressing about it too much - if i can't find one i'll put it aside and come to it at a later time. This is one of those pages. I was finished last Saturday but waited a week before I finished it with a title.

She's lovely, she's growing up, and she's so spoiled rotten!

Thanks for peeking today!
