The Paper Addict

For The Love Of Paper

Dots and Spots Birthday Card

Good Morning everyone and welcome to another reveal for Southern Girls Challenge. This time we were asked to create something with dots or spots.  Here is the card I created…

     This is actually one of eight cards I created. I gave a one sheet wonder template a try and was completely stoked with my results.  The paper is a from a Hampton Arts collection called Playlist…the exact paper is called Volume. I used this paper not only for the dots/spots, but because with all the different colors the cards can now be used for a male or female recipient.
     The stamp is from a old CTMH collection stamped with Memento ink in Tuxedo Black.  The punch is a standard scalloped circle, but I believe mine is from Stampin Up.
    I hope you come join our dots and spots challenge, and I’d love to hear if you ever used a one sheet wonder template and what you thought of the results.  Until Next time…Keep Scrapping!

You’re Invited Card

     Happy Thanksgiving!  It’s time for another reveal at Southern Girls Challenge.  It’s their 100th challenge so the theme is Celebration.
     I chose to make a card inviting friends and family to an outdoor celebration.  All the patterned paper and stickers are from the Doodlebug Happy Camper collection.  The letters and washi are from the general Doodlebug line.  I’ll tell you I’m in LOVE with these letter stickers.  The font and size are just perfect for cards and accent titles on scrapbook pages.   I thought the paper with the place setting was just perfect for a barbecue invitation card.
   When you’re having a gathering do you make invitations or purchase?  Until next time…Keep Scrapping!

1st Day Of Pre-School Layout

     Hi everyone!  Our son was so excited to start Pre-K this year, and when I saw how the pictures came out I had to scrap them right away.
     I used the October sketch from DCWV as my starting point.  Both of my background papers come from a DCWV stack.  They don’t make the green paper anymore, and this was my last piece.  It’s my favorite green ever!
    The patterned paper stars are cut with dies.  The solid stars are from the Stamps of Life All 4 Stars set. The wood veneer stars, and the green solid star, are from Studio Calico.
     I used stars and space paper because to us our son is a star and out of this world…corny…I know!
    The awesome title comes from Paper Wizard. It’s four different layers and gives great depth to the layout.  If you haven’t used any of their die cuts yet…you have to check them out!
    I hope you’ve enjoyed my layout and will take a look at the vendor I used and the challenges I entered.  Until next time…Keep Scrapping!

Child’s Play Challenge – Weebles

    
     Time for another fun reveal from the Child’s Play Challenge team.  We were challenged to use the toy…Webbles.  The slogan of the toy is Weebles wobble, but they don’t fall down.  While our son had some Weebles I didn’t have any pictures of him playing with them.  I decided instead to go with the fall down part of the rhyme.  I used pictures of when hurricane Sandy struck, and our son had to come to work with me since daycare and home were without power.
     To go with the falling down/tipsy feeling of Weebles I used a mid July sketch from ScrapMuch? I thought the skewed accent paper worked perfectly.  All the papers and elements are from the Bella Blvd Max collection, and I even added some outlining in my stars (my attempt at doodling).  The amazing tab pulls a photo out of the street signs knocked over.
     I hope you enjoyed my reveal, and that you will come over and join us.  Until next time…Keep Scrapping!

Child’s Play Challenge – Cootie Layout

     Time for another fun reveal over at Child’s Play Challenge.  Our challenge this time is the game Cooties.  Our son had received this game at this last birthday, and I knew I had some photos of the first time we played on my phone.  They aren’t the greatest since it was night time and impromptu photos, but they were perfect for this challenge, and a fun memory.
     I used a sketch from Sketch~N~Scrap and flipped it on it’s side to accommodate the portrait orientation of my photos.  I went with space themed items since I figured Cooties can’t be from Earth.  If you’ve never played the game they are these silly bug type creatures with funny eye, strange attentions and a million legs.  My thought on the sequins is they would mimic the stars in space.  Almost all the supplies on this page are from Supplies by Scrapstuffz on Facebook…check her page out for great deals!
   I hope you find my layout fun and inspiring, and I hope you’ll pop over and join us for either July challenge.  Until next time…keep scrapping!
