Matchbox with Scrapn With Flair

I made this for my swap partner, the swap was to make a matchbox and fill it with summer goodies; sea shells, bling, flowers and all that fun stuff!  I made mine with great products I have bought from Scrap’n With Flair!  I am really happy the way it turned out!  I used a Memory Box Die to cut out the lacey flowers and embellished with pretty rub-ons and I am Roses flowers.  I sure do hope my partner likes it I had a lot of fun making it. 

That’s all for now enjoy…

A little Digital for old times Sake!

I have not touched my digital scrapbooking lately so I was in a mood to journal and I thought a digi journal might be in order!  This year has been filled with ups and downs and there has been lots to journal about...I sadly haven't for some reason....I know I should document these times as one day I hope to look back and think "ahhh, much better now!!!"  I hope fr more stable times ahead but I certainly know that there may be more to come.  Thankfully I am happy to say we are moving on and life will get better from here! :)

Paper Purse!

Oh my this was fun!  I made this purse with a new Cricut cartridge from Close to My Heart called Artiste!

I just love it, the cartridge is full of 3D pieces, I cannot wait till the kids birthday's whootwoot!  I added a border and some pretty jewels, how cute would this be as party favour for a little girls party...OH MY!

Darling! Combo Design with Sketches In Thyme and Color-Me-Scrappy!

This month Color-Me-Scrappy decided to do a combo challenge with another site Sketches in Thyme so see below for my take on the sketch and colour combo and be sure to check out both sites for the two design teams work as well!  Play along for a chance to win some product to check out the site s for more details!!!!

The Sketch

 

The colours

My take on the sketch: This page includes product from American Crafts and Core'dinations cardstock, Prima paper, Prima stickers and chipboard titles and shapes, Harmonie laser chipboard, trim and twine unknown Lindys Stamp Gang spray and CTMH brads 

A close up of the tags

I used this tag that said "welcome to paradise" but inserted my own words! YAY CANADA!!!

I just love these laser cut chip boards from Harmonie!

Stair Flowers

I just love this photo!  I caught them at the perfect moment all looking at their flowers, one on each step.  I did not plan this at all which makes it so memorable, I love it!

I used paper from the Plumeria Line of Basic Grey, I also used the co-ordinating buttons, tags, border and stickers.  I cut out some shapes with a Memory Box Die and embellished with I am Roses and Prima flowers.

I joined the Basic Grey page of the month club that my mother is running, I love the products they include and have never to this day copied the layout they give you...I just join the club for the fun new stuff!!! :)

It turned out that the Scrap'n With Flair kit for July was the same line from Basic Grey so I have really enjoyed these products and have pretty much used every piece of paper I had YAY! 

Graphic 45 Box from Scrap'n With Flair

This Graphic 45 Box came in my July Kit from Scrap'n With Flair I love how it turned out.  I will admit I was a little stumped at first on what to do with the box.  That moment of challenge is why I love to be on a design teams...."I have these products in front of me..now how can I use them to make this stuff look awesome"  That is what goes through my head and usually with out real "plan" I let my creativity take over and see what I come up with.  In the words of Vicki Boutin, "sometimes happy accidents happen" but they make the best ideas!  I used mostly products from the kit with a few additions from my stash.  I also used some of the Memory Box dies I purchased from Scrap'n With Flair as well.

Inside the box is a cute accordion paper fold, and I used that to create a little mini, that when I decide who I am going  to give this to I will fill with photos and notes to that person,
I am thinking my niece Lyla might really like this!  She loves pretty things...
