Quick Page

Just a quick layout about my sweet cousin Mila.

I used the Dear Lizzy Spring line.

TFL :)

Finally

It's been months since I last scrapbooked. MONTHS. Finally put something together yesterday.




Handmade the pleated circles and used layering techniques.

 Thanks for looking :)

Creative block...unblocked.

My lack of posting is due to a CREATIVE BLOCK that I've been suffering from. A brick wall that I've been running into every time I try to make anything crafty. :(
But, Success! I made a scrapbook page tonight.

I made the brown flower out of felt and a pearl. Super easy and cute.
The white ruffle is pleated tissue paper.
Bought a Crop-A-Dile yesterday and used it for the eyelets on the lefthand side of the page.

TFL and may your creativity flow freely!

Tidbits

Random things....
Finished my LO for Chelsea's monthly challenge.
Challenge: Use the colours blue, green and brown.



(yeah, so I'm still trying to get the hang of taking GOOD pictures of my projects. WIP)
The envelope has a paper with this quote inside: Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort.
-Franklin D. Roosevelt

  Sidenote: I've started to really care about how my LOs look in pictures...suddenly. I am trying to get used to the whole editing thing. Cropping, rotating, exposure etc is pretty tricky. Any ideas or tricks for getting really good pictures of SBing projects and editing them???
TFL!!

Creativity? A Giveaway?

Hi. :)


 I've been trying to work on some monthly creative challenges and have gotten 2 done today!


Not the kind of page I usually do but it's good to step outside of the creative box occasionally.

 

I layered fabric, soft mesh, crate restoration paper and brads.

Next:

The yellow words in the title say "is hard to do". (singsong voice "Breaking up is haaard toooo dooo.")
Used a sketch for this layout as well. (sidenote: I actually have a hard time following sketches...am I the only one?)


One more thing...there is a GREAT giveaway/contest-ish thing on the Obsessed with Scrapbooking blog. :) Even though hundreds of people have entered to win the PINK CRICUT EXPRESSION up for grabs, might as well give it a shot! (and spread the love.)

TFL!!

Gift Wrapping Love

The new gift wrapping line from LIITD is just so cute. So many cute products that can be used for a bunch of different crafts! Here is what I made with a few of the supplies.

Pillow box, bag, doilies, music note paper, baker's twine and leaves are from the new line.

So sweet! The products will be available in their online store very soon.

14 hours of scrapbooking? :D

Raining, raining, raining today! Time for a blog post.

I went to an all day crop in Miami, Manitoba on Saturday. (hosted by LIITD)

I got 4 pages and a card done. Not as much as I usually do, but I think it's because I spent so much time shopping and doing the demo.

Now I have some monthly challenges to work on. :)
