I Found Sticky Boy!!

Happy Tuesday, Everyone!  I hope that you had a wonderful weekend!  On Friday, I had the pleasure of traveling with three fantastic ladies to a Close To My Heart Meeting!  What a great experience!  I love being a part of this wonderful company!  Not only did we have a good business portion, a great creative portion (thank you to Head Office for their part), but I was also the lucky finder of STICKY BOY!!  I was tickled pink!!!  Thank you Close To My Heart!! 

Sticky Boy is accented with a retired CTMH stamp set, "Wicked"!

Could I have smiled any bigger??

Thank you for looking!

Jeepers Creepers and the Everyday Photos!

Hello, There! With our harvest this year, I found it more difficult to do a 'few' things now that my kids are gone from home and at University!  I'm getting it all figured out, though! :-)  
   With the Halloween Season upon us, I figured that I should show you some pages that I made with CTMH's Jeepers Creepers Paper Pack (X7211B), the Jeepers Creepers Compliments (X7211C) and the Jeepers Creepers Assortment (Z4009)! I have yet to use it as actual Halloween paper!

These pictures are definitely a Throw-back Thursday moment!!  My son is now 20 and my daughter is 18!!  Looking a little different nowadays!!

Thanks for looking!

Jeepers Creepers Take 2!

Here is another take on using Close To My Hearts Jeepers Creepers Paper Pack (X7211B), Jeepers Creepers Washi Tape (Z4010) and the Jeepers Creepers Assortment (Z4009). I am loving this paper for my everyday pictures!!  The colors are fabulous!

Thanks for looking!

A Word-Full Layout! Way Cute!!

Happy Tuesday!

I realize that I have been on a single page layout 'road' lately, but I have so many pictures that I want to focus on and highlight! I saw a layout like this one on Pinterest and loved how the creator used a number of 'words' to highlight and enhance her page.  Love how this turned out!!

All stamped images are from Close To My Heart and come from a variety of stamp sets. To be honest, my craft space was an absolute mess by the time I was done as I was searching for the perfect words!!  So worth it!  I added variety to the words by using CTMH's Adventure stickers, but kept my color 'scheme' going by only using blues and greens.

Perfect, beautiful pictures are great, but don't forget about those silly, playful pictures!!

Have to 'take' one at every occasion!!

Thanks for looking!

"My Boys!"

Happy Friday!!

What a wonderful day!  I'm sitting here, sipping my coffee in my new favorite coffee mug and excited to share one of my latest single page layouts with you!

This layout centers on a picture that Bob and Tyler took at Karly's grad.

 "My Boys" is a simple layout, with the focus on the one picture that turned out.

 

I started by prepping my daisy white cardstock (1385) by taking a small paintbrush (Z3188) and a little bit of watercolour paints (Z3132) and "tapping" the paint onto the paper.  I just wanted a slight, dotted look for a little background color.

 

The accents on the page are from the Basics Fundamentals Sticker Pack (Z3166). I love the gold on this page! Especially the PML Watercolor-Gold card (Z3217) which I colored with our Watercolor Paints (Z3132) and the Waterbrush-Medium Flat brush (Z3226).  I love this brush as the water is in the chamber, you squeeze and it makes 'painting' so fun and easy for me!!

 

I finished the page by adding a little 'manly' bling, our Artisan Studs (Z1816). 

 

All paper that is on the page came out of my scraps bucket...

I do recognize a piece of Adventure Fundamental Paper (Z3125), Fern cardstock (Z2650) and the fantastic Magical Paper Pack (X7209B).

Thanks for Looking and have a great weekend!!

Watercolor and Circles!

Happy Day!  How could life get better when you have a layout with watercolor, circles and great pictures from a fun-filled day?! Even though my picture is a little crooked, I am very pleased with the layout!  I'm loving my Z3132 CTMH Watercolor paints, my Z3217 PML- Watercolor Cards-Gold and the absolutely, fantastic Z3226 Waterbrush-Medium Flat. There is still a little bit of time to grab the C1644 Beyond Awesome Stamp Set, X7208B Florence Paper Pack and use up your CTMH Fundamentals!

*Just a note...when using your watercolor paints, be prepared to play!  I started off using just orange on my PML card, but didn't really love the look.  I was thinking that I had to throw it out.  When I added the red, I LOVED it!!  Mistakes are just untried Craftiness!!  lol  When it came to 'adding' to my page, I honestly tried flowers, but I'm not a flower person and my circles just seem to finish the page adding dimension and color! The 'flags', are of course, my journal boxes!

Thanks for looking!

Loving Color!

Hello!

When searching for a couple of pictures for my daughter's Graduation, I found some great pictures that I felt 'needed' to be scrapbooked! I'm sure that they are already in a scrapbook, but why not give them another 'go'!  I love the color that the Adventure Fundamentals Sticker Pack (Z3163) and the (unkown, but CTMH) PML cards offer to this page!!  I am also loving layering at an angle under the pictures! Don't forget to add some Everyday Life Washi Tape (Z3211) and  
Aqua Shimmer Trim (Z3086) for an accent or two!

 Thanks for looking!
