Love You Tons!

So I made a video as my final farewell. 

This video shows you how to make a base layer 
for paper piecings so you can put them together faster =)

Autumn Angels

I decided to change things up a bit today ;) I've had a few friends ask me how I shade my paper piecings so I thought I'd do a quick video for you.

Don't get distracted by my Dodger Blue nail polish =)

And here are the finished piecings!

I'm not sure if I want to use them for cards or a layout. 

And here's the link for Scrapadoodles Scrapbooking & Supply's Facebook page. Samantha has some really awesome deals! Including Peachy Keen Face Stamps for $12.60. And ColorBox Fluid Chalk Refills 14cc for $3.12.

Happy Panda!

I made this super cute panda card for a teacher thats really helped my daughter adjust to her first year in transitional kindergarten. Her school's mascot is a panda. When I saw Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbions - Birthday Panda Cutting file, I knew I just had to get it. I also wanted to try out the digital paper from PPPR and I've got to say... I'm pretty impressed! The pattern on top is from the Summer Brights Pattern Pack and the stripes are from the Summer Brights Chevron & Stripes.

Beach Beauties

My girls have been asking and asking to go to the beach for the last month. It seems like we always have a million things to do on the weekends that we never find the time to go. But I'm thinking we'll make some time very soon ;)

Thanks a Melon!

So... I tried to make it look like the ants and watermelon were on a picnic blanket but I made the cuts a little larger than expected. I probably should have turned them into a layout. LOL! Oh well...

Little Love Bug

I know... we're a few month away from Halloween and I'm finally scrapbooking pics from last year!

What can I say??? I'm a little behind and I've got scrapbooking ADD. I don't scrap pics in any kind of order. I'm all over the place and I make layouts depending on my mood =)

(click on images to enlarge)

I've got two little ladies here at home but I had to showcase my youngest in this layout. I've called her Lani Bear since she was a baby and this super cute file from Scraptastical Kreations file was perfect for her pics.

Pool Party Challenge!

(click on each image to enlarge it)

For today's layout I decided to use the Cameo's print/cut feature with Scraptastical Kreations Paper Piecing: Sizzlin Summer Fun file. It's the first time I've used this feature for a layout. And I kind of like the way it turned out. To make it look more 3D... I used some pens, chalk, and colored pencils with each image. 

One thing I LOVE about Scraptastical Kreations' files are that they all come in multiple formats (including PNG) which makes it very easy to use the print/cut feature on my Cameo. 

Link up your creation to Monica's Creative Madness. 

This week's prize is: Peachy Keen Stamps Simple Sallie pk-532
