Something Simple

I brought a few supplies with me on my trip to use to make cards. One thing I packed are some old sentiment stickers. I really don't use stickers anymore, but I am trying to get better at using what I have in my collection. The font is so fun! I placed the "congratulations" on cardstock and cute around the edge of the sticker. I like it that way because I can't see the edge of the sticker now. Does that make any sense?

I love the embossed card base. It really makes a white base POP! The center of the Prima flower is a clear button with Watermelon cardstock behind it.

Nothing fancy. Just simple and fun!!

Spring Card

I had a few minutes to check out Kim's new Spring Card tutorial last night. I put this card together using paper from the Best Friends Forever kit. I really think it turned out cute.

We are on vacation (visiting my parents). I only had minimal supplies with me, so I decided to use the Friendship Word Puzzle stamp set. I love how the random stamp "friend" square looks!

I hope all my American friends had a wonderful 4th (and Canadians had a great Canada Day last week)! We enjoyed a day at the beach. Well, as much as you can enjoy the beach with little ones who aren't crazy about the sand and saltwater. :-) My son has enjoyed playing golf with his Poppy and swimming in the pool at the house. I think both of the kids are ready to go home and see their Daddy (who is doing very well after his surgery--but still on crutches).

Until next time!

Finally...A Layout!

Well, here it is. I've been pondering this layout for way too long, so I decided to put the finishing touches on it today. I need to be able to move onto other projects!

It was fun to use these pastel colors because I haven't used them a lot on other layouts for Scarlett. I have all these embellishments just waiting to be used on pages. Oh, and don't you just love the embossed Big Blooms? I really had to work with the petals to give them life again, but it worked out great!

I used a spiral and a brad on one of the flowers. That idea was inspired by a Marjorie creation.

Sorry for the pitiful picture. I took the pictures in Scarlett's room, and now I see that was a bad idea!


I used the picture of her cake as the title (still not crazy about that, but I had to have the picture of the cake for memory sake), and there is hidden journaling under the big picture on the second page.

I realized today that I have been scrapping way too symmetrical lately. I guess it feels "safe" or something. I really need to step back out of that box.
