Graphic 45

This is Jessica and her boyfriend Andrew at Prom this spring. I loved using this new paper from GRAPHIC 45! The paper feels good in your hand and is beautiful to work with! I used, once again, the Tim Holtz grungeboard painted with his fun distress paint for the large title. The paint is really fun - if you haven't tried it yet - you need to give it a try! The metal embellies are from Tim Holtz too! All at the Paper Pals Moscow store!



Just a few easy cards from the GRAPHIC 45 collection! The paper is so versatile and fun!

Choxie Love

I love how this page of my doggie, Choxie turned out!

I had a blast and used lots of different techniques on this page! Paint, sewing and modgepodge and more paint and glaze! The arrow is chipboard covered with paper using glitter modge podge. The letters are grunge board ( I never get tired of that stuff! Love it!) painted and then glazed!

All paper is from the new doggie line from Love Elsie - K I Memories

Thanks for looking!

Carolees 4th Of July

I had a lot of fun with the Carolees 4th of July papers at the Moscow store! It is a very fun and festive line; lots of fun to create with.

Beach time...

The perfect combination...."beach themed" papers from Karen Foster and Carolees, and an adorable layout from my niece, Jamie, to scraplift!! :0) You can get these fun papers at the Moscow store!!

October Afternoon "Country Fair" collection

New to the Moscow store is this gorgeous October Afternoon "Country Fair" collection. The papers are double-sided, printed cardstock, in fabulous colors. Included with the papers is a sheet of "journaling cards"...perfect for adding your journaling in a fun way!

Freedom

OK, so "simple" assignment...use this adorable AdornIt "All American Collection" to create a layout! Simple... until I started searching for pictures taken on the 4th of July holiday---you know, pictures with sparklers, or red, white and blue "flag" shirts, etc. But, alas, I had nothing! So, I had to "think out of the box" and came up with the idea of using the theme of "FREEDOM"...something we all treasure! It was a fun way to use these papers in kind of a non-traditional way!

Carolees Baseball boy and Softball Princess

Baseball Boy!
I had so much fun with this page!


I had a great time doing this collage page! It has lot of inking AND product all from Paper Pals Moscow store! The chipboard arrows are from Bazzill, I inked them, then used crystal glaze over them and let them dry for 8 hours! I love the shiny effect - it shows up much better in person. The stars are rub-ons from the Marrah Johnson Rock Star pack and the big C is grungeboard from Tim Holtz inked love that grunge board! All printed paper is from Carolees and I also used the coordinating stickers.


Another fun collage! I love doing collage pages - it really allows me to feel free and scrap with no boundaries! The Bazzill arrows here I first inked with embossing ink then used black glitter embossing powder and then heat embossed! This page also has the same Rock Star rub-ons and a sweet little crown from Heidi Swapp! I love altering stickers and making them unique. All paper and stickers are from Carolees Softball Princess line.


2 fun easy cards using the Softball Princess Stickers. Wouldn't these be fun birthday cards for that softball princess?!?!

Birthday Cards & Gift Box - All Kinds of Happy

Wendy made the cutest little box and a ton of cards with one chipboard sticker sheet, cardstock and pattern paper from the new All Kinds of Happy line from Imaganisce.

Baby Powder---By Imaginisce

Having little kids I had a great time with this line. I love the colors! They are so baby but they have that touch of green that makes them a little more hip. I used Bazzill solid color cardstock in 12x12 and 8 1/2X11 along with the printed papers from the Baby Powder Imaginise line. This product line is in the Moscow store. I also went outside of my "Normal" and painted with blue paint on the 2 page little boy layout around the pictures.

Imaginisce...All Kinds of Happy

I had fun with these birthday pictures and the new Imaginisce birthday papers, "All Kinds of Happy" collection, from the Moscow Paper Pals! The papers are double-sided printed cardstock, and the embellishments are chipboard stickers. This line also comes with an adorable set of rub-ons!

Flair Designs, Inc. "Wine Country"...

This paper from Flair Designs, Inc., was the perfect match for (some of )my pictures from our Hayden Lake get-away with our friends!!! I added the embellishments from Jolee's By You and ric-rac from May Arts and voila'!! :0)

Making Memories Noteworthy

Finally found the time to scrap over yesterday and today...obviously I'm in spring garden mode. Making Memories "Noteworthy" collection was fun to play with (love the color combinations!) and really love the metal signage I used on the cards.
Recently I was inspired by my student who hauled me along corsage shopping. I love the clusters of flowers and the different colors and textures florists use in their creations. I felt like a florist assembling little bouquets...Thinking about corsages also reminded me of the millinery on vintage hats. In any event, these little notecards were the result!

Adornit It!

I had a lot of fun playing with this line from Carolee's Creations. I love the colors! They are fun, bright and very summery. The top picture I inked the edges with brown ink, added a strip of ribbon, a strip of patterned papper, a strip of cream paper, mounted the photo, added some flowers and bling I came up with "Beautiful". The second project is 4 cards that I made from the lines coordinating stickers. The third is half patterned paper half bazzil with a strip of the bazzil wavy die cut to seperate the two. I challenged myself to use only what Karen provided in my packet and besides a few buttons and bling I was able to do that. All items used on these layouts are avaliable in the Moscow store.

New KI - Sew much fun!

I had alot of fun with this page! The fabric "paper" inspired me to get my sewing machine out! It's been awhile since I have sewn on a page! I used my circle punch to make the scalloped edge - it's a fast and simple way to make a border.



Fast and simple cards - the fabric paper is super versatile to use on or off the adhesive backing!

Monster Collage!

Hello Friends,
The monster is finally finished. Or at least mostly finished. It was fun, but it sure took awhile! I found this jumbo 16-piece puzzle at the thrift store and finally decided to make a collage of Maia's second trip to Seattle. Now all I have to do is mount it on foamcore (thanks for the suggestion Anita!) and find a frame. I used the "Sugared" line (in the Moscow Store) from Basic Grey, along with coordinating Bazzill.

The most time consuming part was cutting out the pictures/pieces, and sanding and inking the edges so they all fit smoothly together. I used Tim Holtz for the distressing, ribbons from Paper Pals, and paint/diamond glaze on the chipboard letters.

I love finding inexpensive things to decorate at thrift stores! Check out Palouse Treasures in Pullman, and the Salvation Army and Goodwill in Moscow for some great finds.

Canvas Challenge Part II

This is my mom's Mother's Day gift. I took a 9x13 canvas, painted my kids hand prints with making memories paint, added a scallop circle, some buttons, glitter paint, and a poem about being a mom and here is the final project! She loved it and it took no time at all; under 30 minutes without drying time.

A 7Gypsies & Bazzill Wedding

These are pictures of my dear friend, Tracey. I've yet to scrapbook her wedding pics, so I thought I'd use design team products to do so. Most prominently featured are 7gypsies 97% Complete Journal Stickers. There's bazzill cardstock as well as bazzill chipboards swirls that I covered with Burgandy Stickles. There's a piece of Hambly transparency. And lots of luscious velvety ribbon by May Arts.

Stay tuned for what else I do with the Hambly transparency and remaining 7gypsies stickers. Hint: just because they're in the Paper Pals wedding section doesn't mean that you have to use them for that purpose...

Cheers!

Thanks London! My Canvas Challenge.....

This is my Canvas Challenge Project. Thanks London, I had a great time. This is for my sister. The paint and stamps are from Making Memories and the stickers are 7 Gypsies, I also used the scallop chipboard circles for the smaller stickers and painted the edges to match. The saying above the big S sticker is a quote that says "A sister is a forever Friend". This is a great way to creat home decor. I had a blast!

About A Boy...

I had such a good time playing with these new papers from "Fancy Pants Designs." The collection is called "About A Boy." The colors are bright, cheerful and go perfectly with the pictures of this adorable little guy! (No prejudice on this Nana's part!!) :0)

A Preview...

Hello Friends,
Here's a preview of the project sitting on my dining room table for the last week...more to come soon...:)
