Summer in So Cal

Paige Evan's new Pink Paislee line was worth the wait. It is gorgeous! I love the open letters from The Cut Shoppe. I welded the letters together for Summer. I will be using these letters a lot more as paper piecing little scraps is quite fun! Also, those coral thickers, yes, they are my fave from Amy Tangerine's Cut and Paste line and they need to replicate this font again! I love it.

A close up of the beautiful colors! This layout is a lift on Jen Chesnick via Paper Issues Facebook group.

Lots of layers and using every little scrap!

I love everything about you

Another NSD weekend in the books! This layout features cut files from The Cut Shoppe by Ashley Horton. These were in the same set and I altered them to create my title. 

I used gelatos to color some of the paper and cut file words. Speaking of paper, I adore the She Blooms paper and enamel hearts from Illustrated Faith/Bella Blvd.

I loved this photo of my husband and I in Hawaii. It coordinated well with fun floral paper! Check out Paper Issues for the supplies and cut files from The Cut Shoppe. Thanks for taking a peek!

Disneyland is my Favorite

Pink Paislee's new Fancy Free by Paige Evans has been long awaited! I played with a bit tonight. 

Super fun polka dot papers to punch out. I have a love of circle punches, polka dots, and round elements on my pages!! Also, the glitter Thickers and ephemera pack add fun details and texture!

It was amazing to take a bit of time to create. I'm almost done with grad school and so very soon I can get back to having fun!!

Love is Sweet

Playing along with the fun sketches at Heather's blog

Heather Leopard posted several inspiring layouts of hers and invited us to be a #sketchyscrapper Here's the one that inspired me to scrap our Naples Zoo picture:

Here is a close up of some of the Amy Tangerine paper triangles from her Finders Keepers collection.

I also used cork letters/phrases from Crate Paper Journey collection, Maggie Holmes' vellum phrase and ephemera, Amy Tangerine Thickers and a Dear Lizzy cork bow. Loved this fun challenge and another reason to dig into my scrap stash! I purchased everything from Paper Issues and I am linking up to their themed issue: Showered with Love this month.

Love: Forever & Always

Ah, the sweet month of love! This is a fun peek-a-boo heart cut file from Elle's Studio. This was created for Paper Issues TakeFive Challenge.

The fun peachy pinks in Crate Paper Hello, Love were fun to color match paint splats to!

Lots of dimension and textures to add some pops of fun!
