Above are 2 really sweet layouts. The first is Beka's 3rd birthday. I have used Best Creations, Inc. paper and highlighted it with Bazzill Basics Paper. The sticker are by Tim Coffee - Grand Adhesion's and Karen Foster - Birthday Party. The ribbon is sheer dotted. Very Pretty. I also used Stickles as the strings for the balloons. This layout was fun to make.

The second layout is also made with Best Creations Inc. paper. Two different colors of Bazzill Basic highlight and add emphasis to the photos. The flowers are the new

Prima Paintables. I hand painted them to match the paper and added the photos. There are also chipboard letters, Stickles and ribbon/rickrack.

I am going to try to do more layouts with photos. I want to give everyone a good overall view of what the layout can look like with photos.

I hope you enjoy them and keep scrappin!

Water - Ocean - Vacation - Paradise

What more can you say. While we are all dreaming about warm sunshine and the way it glistens on the water, well, it's time to prepare for the summer and or the photos from a winter vacation. Warmth of the sun, a cool drink, what else is there?

As you can see above that is the theme of the 3 layouts. The papers are very light and airy and show off the colors of the beach and sunshine. Dig your toes in and let it go. Get yourself ready for a wonderful summer and think about how you can scrap your pictures. Choose papers that will convey the very special feelings and thoughts of a special time.

Thanks for looking and leave me a hello once in a while. Have a good one and keep scrappin.

OUTRAGEOUS

Browns, blue, and cream colors all blend together to make an outstanding layout. This is a perfect combination for a male. Young or old. The paper is made by Little Yellow Bicycle. The layout is accented with Bazzill Basics Paper in navy and brown. The piece of plain cream on the top page is make special for journaling. I really liked working with this paper set.

Have a wonderful day and keep scrappin.

TOAD-LY ME

Toads, bugs & flowers. This paper was so cute I could not resist. I chose my base and accent paper, proceeded to cut out the flowers, bugs and toads. The flowers are a mixture of fake and the ones I cut out. The bugs are enjoying the flowers and the toads are overseeing the whole page. Just a simple and sweet way to frame your photos.

Try something new today. Have a wonderful weekend.

2 Layouts and a Card

Thank You - just a very pretty and spring time card. On the inside there is plenty of room for your favorite poem, photo or anything you think would let the recipient know that you are thankful for them.

Mom and Mother - a really pretty 2 page layout for the special mother in your life. It is easily put together and you just add precious pictures and journaling. Now you are ready to go. Ribbons, flowers and embossed punches were used and add a wonderful dimension.

Brothers - is very boy and I used jute to outline the photo mats. The paper is made by Glitz and is multicolored dinos and the other page is Glitz notebook paper. Please take your time and look at the layouts and card. I am having such a wonderful time making layouts and other items for the store. I am going to put them all on my site so I can share my ideas with you.

Have a wonderful day and happy scrappin.
