A Girl And Her Puppy Layout - Scraplift Sunday at PI

Hello everyone! I just love Scraplift Sunday. Today we are lifting a layout by Ann Tamimi. It is so different I just had to try it out. I used a picture of my daughter walking her Go Go Puppy. We found this gem at a garage sale and she's easier to maintain than a real dog!

Here is the inspiration from Ann.

Miss Personality Layout - Roll The Dice at PI

There is a new challenge at Paper Issues called Roll The Dice. The challenge is to use 6 (yes 6!) photos and 3 stickers. I selected a bunch of photos I took of my daughter in an attempt to get the annual beach photo. That particular photo will be a different layout but the 'behind the scenes' photos are just as fun.

 

Give this challenge a try and post your creations in the Facebook Friends and Fans group for a chance to win a store credit.

Adorable Layout - Posh Product Spotlight at PI

Hello everyone! Today on the Paper Issues blog we are featuring the Simple Stories "Posh" Collection. I LOVE this collection. Dark blues are my favorite right now. I chose to feature a birthday picture. There are lots of confetti type pages but I had to use this flower paper.

 



I love how Simple Stories supplies pages with cards you can cut out and use for layering or journaling or fussy cutting. My biggest problem ends up that I want to use everything! I was hooked on the 'adorbs' card and decided to use that as the title and journaling topic. The ribbon was in my stash.

Supplies
Simple Stories: Posh
Ribbon: the stash

A Heart Full Of Love Layout - Mix It Up Monday at PI

Hello! It's Mix It Up Monday at Paper Issues. This month we are using stencils! You can use them anyway you like. Check out the blog to see how the other designers used them. There are lots of great ideas.

 

I used a stencil to trace the large heart on black cardstock and cut it out. Then I used the chevron stencil with texture paste and black paint to make the background. I splattered some black paint on the bottom of the page. I love the embellishments from the Crate Paper "Cute Girl" collection. I'm so glad I grabbed some from the Paper Issues Store.

 

Supplies

Background - Pinkfresh Studio: Indigo Hills

Papers & Embellishments - Crate Paper: Cute Girl

Heidi Swapp Stencils - heart and chevron

Black fine tip Sharpie

Black cardstock

Black paint

Ranger Texture Paste
