Paper House Beach Pockets

I'm feeling like a beach trip during this cold, rainy week. I can't quite make it to the beach, but I can scrap about it!

The new Paper House Productions beachy papers are so gorgeous!  I made a super quick pocket spread using them and you can watch a process video about it here.

I used the Adventure at Heart 3d stickers to embellish.

The Coastal Waves Tags may be my new favorite paper! I adore both sides!

The feather is from the One Big Happy Family sticker sheet. It matches the beach papers perfectly.

I love how quickly this spread came together.

Fave Ride - a LM challenge

Hey Friends!

Happy Sunday!

Today I have a layout for you using this week's challenge over at Lasting Memories - a color challenge to use reds and pinks!

Here's the color board for the challenge:

I only used the red and the lighter pink, since I don't have much opportunity to scrap with pink, but I had these Disney photos beggin for  scrap.

The number washi tape represents how many times we rode my son's favorite ride - 1, 4, 10 times? Many times!

That a was a d and that e was a cursive z, my friends - alter your stash for use!

 I used some great acrylic stars from Color Cast Designs to add some depth to my page - they're so cute!

I added a small foam dot at the end of my label to keep it popped up like the photo. I love how this quick little 6x8 page turned out, y'all!

I hope you will play along with us at Lasting Memories. It's a perfect time to create those LOVE layouts with pinks and reds.

Supplies:
Polka dot paper & ride stickers - Simples Stories, Say cheese
Acrylic starts - Color Cast Designs
Thichers - American Crafts
Pink and black papers - Studio Calico

Thanks for looking!

Perfect Day - a Lasting Memories page

Hey everyone!

I hope you've having a wonderful weekend. We have another wonderful challenge for you this week over at the Lasting Memories blog - to use florals in your layouts!

This is the 6x8 layout I created for this week's prompt:

I picked up this 6x8 Heidi Swapp paper pad at Tuesday Morning & thought it would be so perfect for our Biltmore photos!

I stamped these Stampin' Up flowers and embossed them and fussy cut to add to the floral aspect of the page.

I added my title of sorts on this turned up bit. I love titles usually, but this is a mini album, so I do not feel titles are necessary on every page since they're clearly within the same theme.

It ended up being a beautiful day that day after the rain passed by. We had a lovely no-kids trip to Asheville. The Biltmore is lovely.

I hope you will go play along with our challenge this week at Lasting Memories, and you still have time to play along with our other pattern challenges.

Supplies:
All papers - Heidi Swapp
Floral stamp - Stampin' Up
Perfect stamp - Studio Calico

Thanks for looking!

Getting in the Christmas Spirit!

Happy Monday!

I hope you're enjoying my December album share, and getting a little bit of magical, Christmas inspiration!

Today I have a few more pages for you.

Our elf's name is Tinsel & he went a little overboard last year...

The dogs were the only ones that ended up on the naughty list!

Sorry about the glare here. My boys were dressed like Buzz & Woody (a recurring theme this year, it seems). I love their love for each other. That top small pocket is cloud paper, like Andy's bedroom!

Lachlan wasn't too sure about being held by big bro - he's since gotten past that.

I love that my boys see the same Santa every year - great tradition! (Sometimes we see him at Cracker Barrel too LOL!) I love capturing all the sweet faces of the boy when he has serious Santa discussions. Pocket pages are a great way to fit in all these photos.

Tiny album calls for tiny fringes. I love it!

I hope you enjoyed today's pages, and come back for more tomorrow!

Happy Christmas!

Get UP! A Lasting Memories Challenge

Happy Hump Day (how is it hump day already?!)!

Today I have a very exciting announcement. I'm a new member of the Lasting Memories Design Team!

The sweet owners, Michele and Karen asked me to be a member of the Design Team, as they new me from a previous Guest Design Team contribution I did in June. This challenge blog is so wonderful and inspiring, I had to say yes! I am part of Team A, but I may very well be creating with Team B at times because the prompts are so fun!

I wish I could have made this announcement the day of the blog post announcing my new status, but we were out of town "roughing" it with no wifi! So here's a link to the wonderful Lasting Memories blog & my first challenge on their design team.

This month's theme is Directions & the first challenge is about going up. My layout is about GETTING UP on Christmas morning!

I just love my son's sweet little face as he's coming down the stairs to see what Santa left!

I can't get enough glitter Thickers, am I right?!

I popped up my sequins with some little foam adhesives. You can never have too much glitter or sparkle!

Yesterday Halloween crafts, today Christmas - You never know what I'm creating when! Haha

Supplies:

Background paper - The Paper Studio
Red glitter Thickers - American Crafts
Sequins - Basic grey
Frame - Simple Stories Say Cheese collection
Christmas tree - Recollections at Michael's

Thanks for looking & I hope you will play along at Lasting Memories!
