Love

WOW its been a while again since a post i have to get back into this!  Anyway here is page featuring the new Bo Bunny Line #forever young paper and embellies, I LOVE THEM  I love the colours, they are so bright a fun.  We gave some of this paper away at the retreat this past weekend   This is what I came up with when I started playing around with the fun shapes in the papers.  They just screamed "cut me out"  I am not a huge fan of fussy cutting, however when I actually do it I am so pleased with the results!

This paper looks like coark board, and even the little buttons are so adorable.  I tried to play them up a bit by clustering other embellies around them!  I added a little of the Close to my heart Thick twine and some of their glitter tape as well.  The edges were distressed with Tim Holtz Peacock Feathers Distress ink pad.

Just Jack

I love this little man!  He has gotten much bigger lately, he is now almost 3, I cannot believe it!  This page was completed from a Basic Grey Page of the Month Kit.  I never really follow the instructions however they are supplied in the kit and when you become part of my BG Page of the month Club you will get the opportunity the participate in the page class each month for no extra cost. The class will take place at my studio!

All that Jazz

 I love Basic Grey! The papers are so fun and whimsical!  Sometimes I look at myself and go yikes how can I put those crazy patterns together.  This layout id that to me.....Somehow though when the papers layered together they still look great.  Here is a fun photo tip: if you are like me and take photos of busy children, such as the dance photos int his layout.  Crop your photos in a unique way to give them like a film strip look in order to gather the focus of the photo onto your little person.  Sienna and Montana had lots going on in these photos so it was a challenge to get the focus on them! I think it was a success!!!

Like chipboard?  I love it, I also have a sick obsession with washi tape!  I combined the two on these banner wood  pieces and added some test washi to give it some playfullness!!!!

Best in Show

I love these girls!  They are neighbors and friends and they dance together too!  You could call that a tripple-threat!  I love it!  I enjoyed the basic grey papers with whimsical colours to match so perfect with the Tatum and Sienna's costumes...crazy clowns!  I pulled in some sky blue CTMH cardstock to match Melina's costume!  They all danced beautifully and I am so proud of our girls!!!!

Lily

Awe Lily, you are one of the weirdest cats I have ever known. We have so many names for you, the kids call you LiL, and sometimes "rat-tail" cuz your tail is so small.  You are so small, really,  And sometimes we call you "Spill" because your belly spills out when you sit down!  Thats love Lily!  I enjoyed making this single page layout.  The vibrant blues of this photo called for a striking page so I used a grain pattern from Kaiser Kraft and their denim as well. CTMH cardstock to break it up a bit.  Then load it up with flowers and embellies.  I love this page, the best part if the pipe cleaner flowers.  I learned the day that I made this page when I was at Unique Retreat, a number of teachers were also there and they told be they are called cochineal sticks....I laughed and laughed, seriously??/!!!!  

Honey Do-er

I love this page, the paper was just wild and I wasn't sure how I would make it work! I just loved the mustaches!!!!  The colour of GG's sweater was perfect match so off I went and I am so proud of the results.  One thing I have always found with paper is that you cannot let the patterns fool you they match as long as there are like colour s and some subtle patterns you can really have some fun with it!
