Guimauve with October Afternoon

I have a new sketch up on the October Afternoon blog, hope you will stop by for the details and to see the amazing layout Sasha Farina created. To create this layout I used the amazing Eggnog collection. Thanks for stopping by!

Mine with Gossamer Blue

Hello friends! In all the craziness of the holiday season I forgot to share my latest layout for Gossamer Blue created with the On My Desk collection. I've been meaning to document my new workspace and of course this collection was ideal!!! All supplies, aside from the Thickers are from the Gossamer Blue On My Desk collection. 

Pure with October Afternoon

Yesterday I was up on the October Afternoon blog, contributing a layout based on Patricia's fabulous sketch. Seriously, the banner was such an inspiration, I had a blast creating this layout. I hope you will stop by for more details. 

December layouts with Gossamer Blue

I know that every month I say this, but honestly I think that the December kits by Gossamer Blue are my all time favourite. Love love love the colours combo, mix of papers and embelies. It was such a treat to create these layouts, I didn't want to stop creating. Hope you will stop by to see what the Creative Team has created this month. 

Now with Crate Paper

I started this layout in September when I went to the Crop and Create event but never had the time to finish it. Honestly, it was bugging me. I can't leave a layout undone. I was so happy to get to it over the weekend and I love how it turned out. I used the Crate Paper Notes and Things collection to create this layout.

Remember with Gossamer Blue

I shared this layout last week on the Gossamer Blue blog, I discussed my process for working with layers. Hope you will stop by the blog for all the details.

Gossamer Blue Blog Hop

Welcome to the Gossamer Blue blog hop!!

Today the DT is coming together to share various projects created with the November kits. We hope to inspire you to create projects of your own. The November kits are beautiful, a lovely soft colour palette with a splash of purple and yellow. Of course it once again features the latest collections in the industry.  Here's a picture of the main kit, make sure to stop by Gossamer Blue to see all the kits and perks of being a club member. 

Today my layout features a mix of products from the main kit and the add ons. Since the picture is about my daughter waking up after nap time, I wanted to recreate a quilt like background. To achieve this look I used the Crate Paper and layers various pieces. To finish it off I added a lot of stitching. 

Let's keep this blog hop going, next up is Michelle, make sure to check out her beautiful work!!!

October Afternoon Projects

Hello friends. I had to new layouts on the October Afternoon blog this week, one is an inspiration challenge and the other is a sketch challenge. A couple of my fabulous DT friends played along with me, it's always so much to see how other people interpret your sketch or challenge. 

Here is my take on my sketch;

And my take on my challenge;

All the details are posted on the OA blog, I hope you will stop by. 

November with Gossamer Blue

Hello friends! It's the start of a new month, and with that means a new kit reveal at Gossamer Blue. I adore the November kits, the mix of bold print with a soft accents, really make my heart go pitter patter. 

Today I'm sharing my main kit only layout. It was my first time trying a handcut title and I really enjoyed it. I will be sharing more about my technique to create this title work later on this month. Hope you'll stop by the Gossamer Blue website for all the fun and to see what the talented DT created with the kits, I am blown away every single month!!!

Jillibean Soup Layout and Tags

I've been a slow blogger, I kinda forget about this blog, I'll blame it on IG, all my work is now posted there so I've been neglecting this little ol' blog of mine. Today I'm sharing 2 projects I created for Jillibean Soup. First up is a layout created using the Cool as Cucumber collection, love the bold colours, especially the orange, perfect to pair up with a black and white picture.

I also have this set of Halloween tags that features the new stencils and Owloween Stew collections. I've decided to stop creating cards for a bit, I felt like I was repeating the same design pattern over and over again, instead I've started making tags, it was time to mix things up a bit. 

Happy with Fancy Pants

It's the beginning of a new week and I'm back to share a new layout created for Fancy Pants design for the Social Media team. To create this layout I used the True Friends collection. Fun fact, the arrows in the centre of my page are actually a small tree that is part of the diecuts, I simply removed the tree stump and flipped the tree upside, it creates a new fun accent. 

Bee A Reader with October Afternoon

Hello friends! I was up on the October Afternoon blog earlier this week, playing along to Roree's fun sketch challenge. You can see the full reveal here. To create my layout I used the Public Library collection along with bits and pieces from the Daily Flash collections. 

H&P with Gossamer Blue

Hello friends! I'm very excited to share with you today my very first layout created with the On My Desk collection by Gossamer Blue. I love love love this collection, from the colour combo, paper designs, embellishments to the puffy stickers, I love it all. This was such a fun layout to create, I hope you are inspired to use this collection!

The October kits provides an endless array of inspiration, from the main scrapbook kit to the LP add ons, I can guarantee that these kits will give you amazing amounts of inspiration. 

Main Kit

I've created a fun layout especially for this blog hop, I used the stamps from the main LP kit to embellish my white cardstock along with a mix of gelatos. All the supplies on this layout are from the main kit and add ons, even the lovely wood veneers, those are exclusive to Gossamer Blue!!!

Now it's time to keep the blog hop going, next stop is Michelle Wooderson, I just love her wonderful work, I know you will as well!!! You can always go back to the Gossamer Blue blog for a full list of the participants.

Full - Fancy Pants Designs

I've been hanging on to this picture for over a year, I love how this showcase our family. My heart is full (hence the title of this page) when I look at this picture. I am happy, content and feeling so very blessed. The 4x6 and 3x4 cards were my starting point for this layout, since they were both very bold I wanted to keep the rest of the layout very simple and clean. I love the versatility of the Fancy Pants collections, I used the Me-ology collection to create this layout.

Dollar Bin - October Afternoon

Hello friends! I've just returned from an amazing event in Cornwall, Crop and Create, which is organized by Scrapbook and Cards Today magazine. I met some amazing online friends and spent 2 wonderful days laughing, chatting and yes, scrapping. LOL! 

I'm back today to share a layout for October Afternoon. I used the Public Library collection to document Danika's love of the dollar bin books we found at Target. Hope you will check out the blog for the full details on my challenge. 

Hugs with Fancy Pants

Hello friends!!! It's a new week and I'm sharing a fun layout created for Fancy Pants! I've always loved working with Fancy Pants products, I do have a huge crush on the new collections but this time around I pulled out some older Fancy Pants products to create this layout. 

I paired the Collections Moments with the Captured Memories collection to create this layout. I love the eclectic mix these collections offer. I really wanted to create a fun layout and the stars paired with the chevron arrows was the right combo to use. 

The star border was leftover from another project, I love recycling scraps of papers this way. It's such a fun way to bring an accent to a layout. Hope you enjoy!

Gossamer Blue Reveal - Part 2

Hello friends!! It's a new week and time to share the rest of my projects for Gossamer Blue. I love working with kit clubs, love how they offer a sample of the latest and greatest collection. I love that I don't have to shop for all the products, they are beautifully put together for my enjoyment. 

This layout really represent the versatility of the Gossamer Blue kits, I created a bold and fun layout and also a very soft and feminine layout. Love how the same products can be used to achieve different looks. In case you don't know about Gossamer Blue I hope you'll check it out! Also for my Canadian friends, the shipping is very affordable and quick! 

Story with October Afternoon

Today is an exciting day, I'm sharing my first layout as DT member for October Afternoon, I am so very happy and honoured to be designing along side with Roree today. She provided an amazing inspiration piece, check it out on the OA blog. 

I created this layout using the Public Library collection. I have to admit, I have a crush on this collection. I love books, my girls love books, we have books all over the house, so this line speaks to me. I used it to create a school theme layout. Love the versatility of this collection. Hope you like it!

September Reveal with Gossamer Blue

Hello friends!!! It's a new month and a new gallery for Gossamer Blue. Each month I am blown away by the kits, I don't know how Lori does it but every month they surpass my expectations. The mix of companies and brands is unbelievable. Hope you'll stop by to see the reveal. This layout is created with only the main scrapbook kit, I have a thing for photo corners lately, so I decided to include a huge photo corner to frame my picture. Love how this turned out.
