Back to School Layout
Lexi started the second grade last week. I used the Scholastic paper pack from Close to My Heart to do my layout. The owl and back to school saying is a cutting file from Bear Hugs.

4th of July Layout
I have really been into making Paper Piecing Layouts recently. I love the way they turn out, but word of warning, they are not the easiest layouts to make. Every little piece has to be cut out and pieced together. I used the Silhouette Camio with the Design Studio Software to cut the pieces. If you get a Silhouette, make sure you purchase the software, otherwise the pieces are difficult to see on the screen. The Patriotic Bears came from "Designs on Cloud 9" and the title came from "Scrapping Bug Designs." The background paper is from CTMH's Fanfare paper pack.

Super Hero Card

Happy Easter to My Peeps
I made this cute card using the "My Peeps" stamp set from Close to My Heart. The center peep is attached to a coiled spring mechanism that allows it to pop up. I think this card would be so cute to send to someone with a box of pink bunny peeps. Yum. I love that gooey, sugary marshmallow taste.

Convention 2011 Layout
What a fun morning I had today putting this layout together. It brought back such happy memories of the fun that I had at the Close to My Heart Convention. I am already making plans for next years convention in Dallas and I can't wait.

Sneak Peak
One of the things that I noticed about the art work at Convention, is that they like to use 3D Foam tape to pop up the main photo. I did it on my main photo and I love how it gives the layout dimension.
The word Family and the date use the new "Color Ready Cork Alphabet." The word photos and the banner use a new stamp set called "Vintage Type." Tucked in the "waxy flax" bow is one of our new "Bling Assortment" pretty pins. Don't you love it?

Thanksgiving Layouts
Hi Everyone, I hope you had a blessed Thanksgiving. This is one of my favorite holiday's. I love visiting with my family and watching the kids, all excited, playing with their cousins. And, as usual I love how the CTMH papers and layouts always go so well with my photos. These layouts were done at my November scrapbook workshop using the Olivia paper pack. The top one uses the "Levitate sketch" from Magic and the bottom uses the "Role Play" sketch from Imagine. The nice thing about having them done ahead of time is that all I have to do is add the pictures. Sketches used to frustrate me because they didn't always fit my pictures. Once I learned that sketches are a guide for you to start with, I was able to manipulate my pictures to fit. For instance on the bottom layout, the left page used a 6 x 6 picture on top and two 3 1/2 x 3 1/2 pictures on the bottom. As you can see from my photos, the pictures on the bottom would not work at the 3 1/2 inch size. Instead of using those sizes, I used a 5 x 7 on top and 3 1/2 x 5 photos on the bottom. So there ends my frustration. It works.
