Do I Hear an Echo?

Have ya'll seen the Echo Park Mini Themes? It is brilliance in a plastic bag I tell you! Papers and stickers coordinated around one theme - everything for boys to girls and everything in between.
I was sent the Birthday Boy Mini Theme from My Scraps and More. I think the bright primary colors are so fun!
For the first layout I scrapped about my dad and his birthday"candle". We could find no candles in the house so my brother found a candle app on his phone. But Dad could not figure out where to touch the screen to "blow" it out!
There's an APP for that!

And this next layout is not birthday at all which proves you can also use this birthday line for something other than birthdays! These pictures were taken at a fun activity pool that we adventured to one day with my bf Sarah and her kiddos. Priscilla just had to kiss the spitting frog! Silly girl!
Frog Prince

And last but not least a card with some scraps!

 

I have a two page layout and another card to show you but it will have to wait! You'll just have to come back! :)


Thank you for stopping by and have a blessed day,

The Soup on My Scraps and More DT Reveal

Good morning to everyone! The My Scraps and More Design Team was sent Jillibean Soup's Chilled Strawberry Soup and Homemade 6 Bean Soup this month. I had alot of fun creating with these lines. I used the plain side of the Chilled Strawberry Soup in these first two layouts. I loved the weight and color of this kraft cardstock.
I used this sketch from PageMaps!

I "Sew" Did That


A Family is like a Quilt

The last item I want to show you is this fun card! On Friday I will share with you a step by step tutorial on how to make your own refreshing card!

Fancy This - My Scraps and More DT Reveal

For June the My Scraps and More Design Team was given the Summer Soul Collection from Fancy Pants. I not only completed some fun summer layouts I tackled a few Easter layouts as well.
In this first layout I scrapped a few silly pictures of Amory at our church picnic.
Is That Your Easter Bonnet?

I used: Scuba paper, Luau paper, Beach Towel paper, Snorkle paper, Grass Skirt paper, Summer Soul Alphas, Summer Soul cards, October Afternoon Mini Market Stickers

For this next layout I used two  pictures of my girls in their Easter Dresses. Aren't they pretty?
Sugar & Spice & Everything Nice

I used: Summer Soul Alphas, October Afternoon Mini Market Stickers, Sandcastle paper, Hula paper, Summer Soul Strips

I would love for you to stop by the My Scraps and More blog to see the rest of my projects! You can find it here!

Thank you for stopping by and have a blessed day,

Give Me Mora Alora

Good Saturday Afternoon! I am so excited to bring you the Bo Bunny Alora projects I made for My Scraps and More! Have you seen all of the projects the other Design Team members have done over the past week? Its amazing how two Bo Bunny lines - "On The Go" and "Alora" can be used!
I was given the Alora line and I will admit I was a bit intimidated! I usually do not work with large florals and bright colors but once I got them I had a blast creating fun pages about my fun daughter Amory!
The two pieces I was most excited about were the Alora Wish and the Alora Tiny Type Cardstock Sticker. Why, you ask? Because the title is my absolute favorite part of a layout! With those two pieces I saw an endless amount of possibilities!
For this first layout I combined a strip from the Wish paper - I used only the words and cut away the cute birdies. (Amory took them from me and decorated a card for her teacher) I combined the strip with the Tiny Type Alphas to create the title and journaling all in one!
The title/journaling reads
All You Need is Love of Ice Cream, Your Friends and a Cherry on Top!
The cherry sticker from the Girly Girl Cardstock Sticker was the perfect accent for this page!


For this next layout I cut apart two strips from the Wish paper and along with the Tiny Type Alphas created another layout with the title and journaling all in one.
The title/journaling reads
All You Need Is Shaving Cream To Make a Big Mess of Fun!

On this next layout I created splashes by fussy cutting the swirls from the Alora Giggles. The Girly Girl Cardstock Sticker circle frame was perfect to highlight the picture of Amory floating in the pool!
Say hello to the
Beach Babe!

And last but not least was a gift for Amory's little friend Aubrey. Aubrey, like Amory, is an artist. I altered a paint can and made a matching card with the Alora papers.
The card front was fussy cut from the Alora Cut Outs paper and the letters spelling "wish" were also fussy cut from the Alora Wish paper. I used the Alora Tiny Type Cardstock Sticker to write out "Make A" and the card was complete!

This is the paint can stuffed to the brim with paint, glue, modeling clay and glittery fun projects. An art apron I made was placed on top to protect Aubrey from said paint, glitter, glue, and clay! I circled the paint can with the Alora Burst that I cut in half. The two six inch pieces were placed around the bottom half and the Alora Stitches cut in two three inch pieces circled the top. I used the Alora Combo Stickers layered on cardstock to decorate the front of the paint can, a piece of ric rac hid the seam and tulle around the handle created the perfect girly finish.

 

Thank you for stopping by and have a blessed day!

Now lets party scrappy style. Normally the guests brings presents to the party but we want to share the fun by doing things a bit backwards and providing gifts for you. For a chance at the big gift we have provided a sketch for you to work with. You will also need to check out all the design team blogs and leave them some love as each of them has a party favor for you to collect. Use the sketch and 3 of the party favors on a LO for a chance to win the birthday gift. Share your creation with us by linking your LO up to the blog hop post at the My Scraps and More blog. Our talented design team member Lisa has created this wonderful sketch for you to work with.

Here is the big gift you could win. The new Authentique Celebrate collection.

Now make sure as you visit each of the design team blogs you read carefully because there may be some more birthday presents to win along the way.

Here is the layout I created! I sat down with the sketch and it had a mind of its own! I have the basics there but moved the title to include that fabulous large flashcard from October Afternoon. My party favor is a cupcake liner. They are not just for holding delicious baked goods any more! I tucked a mini cupcake liner behind my journaling circle to create a bit of a ruffle. What can you use your cupcake liner for?

A Perfect Sandcastle

From all the comments here I will pick a winner of three 6X6 pads of Authentique paper. I might even throw in some other Authentique goodies! You won't know unless you comment to win!

Thank you for stopping by - your next stop is Wendy's blog!

I am so proud ....

I want to share a few "yep I did it - yeah it was me" moments. So bear with me while I brag!

The first is a proud accomplishment making something that I approached with much trepidation. But along with Pinterest, my friend Rebecca's technical advice, and my friend Sarah's encouragement I conquered all trepidation and made a bandana dress!

For $8.62 I bought two bandanas, ribbon, and a black and pink zebra print material. In about two hours I had created a ruffle, created armholes, sewed two bandanas together, and threaded a ribbon through!

Before this I had only created curtains and pillows. And now I can add dress to my list!

My dad said they got several compliments, people stopping to take a look, and asking about the dress. My dad told them he made it. Thanks Dad .....

 

My next proud shout out is I am on the My Sketch World Design Team again! So so excited - The women at MSW are my friends and we care about and love each other. Anyone who is part of this forum is a blessed lady!
