The Paper Addict

For The Love Of Paper

Down By The Sea Layout

Time for another reveal at Lasting Memories.  The challenge this time was sunny shores, and I choose to use pictures from our son’s first trip to the beach.  
I took my inspiration from Monique Griffith’s page and made it my own using more photos, different letters and a few different cuts.  My paper is from Stampin Up and Echo Park.  On the bucket and shovel die cut I used mud puddles for them to have the texture of sand.
Hope you enjoyed my layout and until next time…Keep Scrapping!

Challenges:
Craftin Desert Divas – Anything Goes
Scribble and Scrap – Anything Goes
613 Avenue Create – Anything Goes

Friendship Card

     I was working on a bunch of spring themed cards for an exchange, and really liked the result of this friendship one. 
   I used my favorite color in the certainly celery Stampin’ Up paper so I could enter the Crafts Galore Encore Challenge.  The card base is Doodlebug, the flower is K & Company and the sentiment from Close To My Heart.   
     I like how these shaped cards fold out into three pieces that all contain a writing area.  I always enjoyed pen pals as a young person and still enjoy receiving a letter so these appealed to me right away.
  I’d also like to enter this card into the Craftin Desert Divas and Sister Act Card Challenge anything goes challenges.
   Thanks for joining me, and I’d love to see what you’ve been creating lately.

Happy Valentine’s Card

     We had another round of winter precipitation, and a delayed opening at work.  Normally I go in at 8:15…we didn’t have to be there until one!!!  I used this opportunity to take on a few challenges.
     I used the wonderful card sketch from Sketch ~ N ~ Scrap for the design layout of my card. I then used three different challenges for the embellishment of my card.  Craftin Desert Divas is having a color challenge.  It’s red, white, and pink so I used those for my paper colors.  Cards Galore and Southern Girls are both having a bling challenge so that was very easy to combine. I also stamped the heart inside my hearts with Get Inky Stamps.  I hope you love how it came out because I do.
