Caffeinated Layout

     Happy SuperBowl Sunday ya’ll!  My team didn’t make the big game, but you can be sure I’ll be watching anyway.  Are you watching? If you are, why don’t you do a layout to join us at Lasting Memories with our newest challenge…favorite food or recipe!
     This one gave me pause for a moment because I don’t usually scrap about food.  After some thinking I decided to scrap about one of my favorite pick-me ups…A Starbucks latte!  I broke out the My Mind’s Eye Indie Chic Nutmeg collection and got to work.  I really liked the subtle colors of this collection to highlight my photos.
     I also pulled out my Stamps of Life Coffee 4 Two stamp set that accompanied my theme perfectly.  The large cup is stamped directly on the patterned paper and the logo was stamped, die cut and popped up for some dimension.  The small cups down the side are also from the same collection.  This really is my favorite stamp set.
     So do you scrap about food?  I’d love to hear about if you do and why.  Until next time…Happy Scrapping!

Southern Girls Reveal – Word Challenge

     Welcome to another reveal at Southern Girls Challenge. This time we are challenging you to use lots of words on your project.
     For my project I started with an older DCWV paper stack called Linen Closet.  I loved this, but have only ever been able to find the mat stack so I used it mainly for cards and hoard it like there’s no tomorrow.  Anyone else do that with your favorite papers?
     I then pulled out one of the Stamps of Life sets I purchased the Somerset, NJ Scrapbook Expo.  I am absolutely in love with this set, and it’s matching dies.  Having the dies makes the cup, and label, so easy to use.  Click Here to see everything I purchased at the expo.
     I used chocolate ink from Color Box for my stamping…a freebie I got at the expo  To give a little interest I just added three My Minds Eye wooden dots.
     I’m going to make a whole set of matching cards to give to my coffee obsessed sister.  Anyone she sends them too will certainly know it’s from her.  Would love to see what you come up with for the words challenge.  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!
