PERFECT MATCH

Happy Friday everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We had a nice time with my family. My mother always cooks Thanksgiving dinner...we are spoiled! All she asks of me is to bring the rolls from the Amish Market. And occasionally, she'll ask me to bring a pie, but she prefers to make her own!

My sister just posted this picture the other day and I just love it... Love that they took the picture with their fur-baby, Odie. Sooooo cute.


To begin, I used Trinity Stamps' Seasonal Sweetheart 4x8 Stamp Set to stamp the leaves, hearts and flakes in the background. Then I colored them using a few different color markers.


I added tiny blue jewels to the center of the flakes to add some sparkle! I had just enough of these left to embellish this layout.


I matted the photo using a few papers from Fancy Pants Design's The Good Ole' Days Collection. Then added the "Loving" Banner at the top from one of my Citrus Twist Kits. The tiny tag is from Jillibean Soup. They are my favorite! I use these tiny tags on the majority of my layouts.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Hope you have a fabulous weekend!

HAPPY TURKEY DAY!

Happy Thanksgiving friends and family! I hope you have a wonderful day with your friends and family! Be safe and try not to eat too much turkey! :)

Speaking of turkey... I painted this turkey I received from Foundations Decor! LOVE this little guy. He's so colorful and cheery. I used several paints from Bad Girls Couture to paint all the pieces.


Thank you for visiting today!

TOGETHER

Good morning everyone...I have a lot to be thankful for...but the biggest thing I am thankful for is my FAMILY. These are my people and I love them dearly. There isn't anything I wouldn't do for them. I love them all so much. These pictures are just missing one other person...my hubby. He rarely comes to the fall festivals with us. It's not his thing and that's perfectly OK.

I created this layout using Fancy Pants Design's The Good Ole Days collection. I really love the ruler paper and the floral paper. They are gorgeous...and shocker... I used lots of pretty embellishments. There's a lot on here, but it doesn't take the focus away from the photos. 


I love the big "TOGETHER" title on this layout with the three photos framing it. It's such a nice design!


Gotta love butterflies... if there's a butterfly in my stash, you can count on me using it. I love butterflies. :)




I added a few embellishments inside the window frame with some stamping...


Thanks for visiting today! Hope you have a wonderful day!

GATHER

Good morning everyone. I'm sharing another fall layout I created using Precious Remembrance Shop's Fall Colors Stamp Set. I used pretty papers from Pink Paislee and die cuts from Vicki Boutin's newest collection. The die cuts are beautiful. I received some from Scrapbooking & Card's Today's stampler and I think I need to check out the actual collection. :)


I stamped the leaf patterned on kraft paper using brown/pink ink then colored them in using markers. Aren't they pretty?!


I added a few tags at the top to add a few more layers.


I stamped the "hi there! and autumn" sentiment onto the labels. Oh and I almost forgot about the "thankful for you..." sentiment below the photo. This stamp set is perfect for fall! And they are available in the shop! Click here.


A few close-ups of the embellishments. I went a little crazy with the layout. I tend to add stuff until I am pleased with the layout. :)




Thanks so much for visiting today!

WELCOME TO THE CLIQUE KITS & BAD GIRLS COUTURE BLOG HOP!

Good morning everyone!! Welcome to our Clique Kits and Bad Girls Couture Holiday Blog Hop! You will definitely be inspired with the vast array of holiday projects that we have created... there is something for everyone. Grab your favorite cuppa , join the Clique, and get ready to be a BAD  GIRL maker as we take you on an AMAZING creative journey!

I am excited to share this art journal layout I created today using the gorgeous Post Cards from Paris Creme French Script Canvas Art Journal and lots of pretty embellishments from the Home for the Holidays Junior Kit available in the Clique Kits Shop! I love these holiday embellishments from Pinkfresh Studio! There may be a few available in the shop. Click here!



To begin, I mixed a small amount of the Oops! My Bad paint with molding paste. Then I covered the stencil using the medium.  I used a tiny paint brush to splash the Kiss & Don't Tell acrylic paint over the stencil to add a little more color. Most of the green paint got covered by the photo and embellishment, but you can see a little bit of the paint.


Once the molding paste and paint was completely dry, I added layers using the die cuts and puffy stickers from Pinkfresh Studio's Home for the Holidays collection to embellish this chipboard page. I really love the stitched border on this chipboard page. It's so beautiful and it adds just the right touch to this spread!


I used a few foam squares and glue dots to pop some of the embellishments up from the page to add dimension.






Here is a quick video on how this little gem came to together!


I have a layout I created using the Simply Joyful kit that is available in the Clique Kits Shop. This kit features gorgeous product from Studio Forty! I love this kit. Can't wait to use it again for another project! 



Lately, I'm loving the travel notebook size for my projects! It takes me a little longer scrapping this way because I'm not used to working with such a small space, but I love it so much. It's nice to mix things up a bit.


I really like the chipboard pieces from this Joyful kit! They are really nice quality too.


I used a stencil from Little Birdie to create a fun mixed media background using some Molding Paste and the Oops! My Bad acrylic paint from Bad Girls Couture! I like this color because it isn't too red... I'm not a big fan of red, but I like this color.


The enamel buttons are beautiful! I had to refrain myself... I wanted to stick them all over the place. :)


More chipboard... Aren't they pretty?





Here's a video to see how this came together!

LET THE FUN BEGIN

HAPPY FRIDAY!! I have another layout to share with you, using lots of fun papers and embellishments from Citrus Twist Kits. I have been digging through my kits and putting them to good use!


I really like the simplicity of this layout... and the stamps were perfect for this layout.


I am a sucker for stars... and journaling cards with sentimental journaling.


I decided to use the "ECUSE THE MESS BUT WE LIVE HERE" die cut because of the blankets over our heads... LOVE this kit. I will be using it again for sure...


Thanks for stopping by today! Hope you have a fabulous weekend!

APPLE OF MY EYE

Good morning! Just popping on to share this layout I created using the Good Ol' Days Collection by Fancy Pants Designs. This collection is so adorable... I love it so much. I have one more layout to share with you in a few days using this collection. I decided to create a grid layout so I could use a few of the cut-a parts from the 6"x6" paper pad. I love the "You are the apple of my eye" sentiment. It's perfect!


I layered a few of the flower die cuts using Foam Squares then I tucked a few puffy stickers beneath the layers.


I added the star puffy sticker and cork sticker as well as the banners to the side of the journaling mat to add dimension.



A closer look at the "family" cork embellishment. LOVE



I added a few hearts here and there because I figured...why not! I love this child and these photos!


Thanks so much for visiting today. I hope I inspired you in some way today!
