Card - Smooth Sailing

Hi everyone!

Last weekend I've made a bunch of cards again and today I'm sharing one of them. I created a double scene on this card with the above and underwater world, using the Lawn Fawn Smooth Sailing, Mermaid For You and You are Sublime sets. The scenes are made with Wave Borders and Hillside Borders.

Paper Issues - Scraplift Sunday

Hi everyone!

Today a layout for my favorite Paper Issues challenge of the week: Scraplift Sunday! This week's inspiration came from Anna.

I usually just grab one collection or kit to make a layout, because then I don't have to think about matching colors and patterns. For this picture of Blink, taken during one of our walks, I wanted to use that Simple Stories Paradise Found paper for sure. The leaves on the paper are also in the picture. But I also wanted to go for the Pinkfresh Studio Out and About embellishments because they fit the picture perfectly. It was a tough one as the colors didn't match at all, but I went for it anyway. The Thickers for the title and the teal Echo Park paper came from the Paper Issues June Kit. I finished the layout with some doodling and Bottle Green Nuvo drops.

The sign in the picture says 'For tired strangers' and it's located at a wooden bus stop along a very steep road.

Paper Issues - Sunny Summer Time challenge

Hi everyone!

Today I'm sharing a layout that I've made for the Sunny Summer Time challenge over at Paper Issues. Challenges like these are my favorite as I have photos for this theme all year long. Now don't get too jealous, because I'm really struggling the rest of the year with Autumn and Winter collections and challenges :-)

This picture is taken one of the mornings that I took Blink and her friend Rover to the beach, where running and chasing a ball is their favorite thing to do. I used the Pinkfresh Studio Out and About collection and added some Nuvo drops to my layout. This collection came with so many fun embellishments and it all works perfect for pictures of dogs who love to be out and about!

Thank you for stopping by and have a great day!

Paper Issues - Scraplift Sunday

Hi everyone!

Yesterday I played along with Scraplift Sunday at Paper Issues. This week the inspiration came from Rachel.

I took this picture on a real early morning beach walk. I had a real hard time editing the picture to make it usable. The light is really bad when the sun is not completely up yet, but I loved this picture too much to not use it for a layout. I went with the Pinkfresh Studio Out and About collection, which I love for doggie adventures.

Thank you for stopping by and enjoy your day!

Paper Issues - You've Got To Be Kittin' Me

Hi everyone!

Today I'm sharing a layout for the You've Got To Be Kittin' Me Challenge over at Paper Issues. I realized that I didn't even open my June kit Pontoon yet...so it was time to jump in and make a layout for the kit challenge.

I took this picture last week when I took Blink to Gary's Pond. It's a little area where they put big rocks in the ocean to create a pond where you can swim in, since the ocean around Saba is mostly too rough to swim in. Blink didn't feel like going in the water, but she enjoyed running around for sure!

Paper Issues - Scraplift Sunday

Hi everyone!

It's Scraplift Sunday at Paper Issues and today's inspiration is by Kelly. I love how she surrounded her picture with embellishments. I went for another wedding picture and Pretty Little Studio Shine Bright.
I started with white cardstock and used a Vicky Boutin blue crayon with water to drip on the background. With the embellishments that come with this collection, it was easy to lift Kelly' layout. As a finishing touch I added two colors Nuvo drops randomly over my layout.

Thank you for stopping by and enjoy your Sunday!

Paper Issues - Scraplift Sunday

Hi everyone!

Today I have a 30 minute layout to share. I just love it when that happens! Mostly it happens with the Scraplift Sunday challenge though, it's just easy when someone else basically did all the thinking for you already :-)

This time the challenge is based on a layout made by Stacie and you can find it here in the July challenge album in the Paper Issues Friends and Fans facebook page. For my layout I used the Pretty Little Studio Shine Bright collection, which is great for wedding pictures. On this layout a picture of our first dance. I love the angle of the picture, how you see the lights hanging there like we're dancing under the stars.

Thank you for stopping by and have a great day!

Paper Issues - Sunny Summer Time challenge

Hi everyone!

Last Wednesday was another LIVE with Kelly and Becky at Paper Issues. I love these events, it's like I'm cropping with my friends and I actually get something done! Today I'm sharing a layout that I made during the LIVE for the Sunny Summer Time challenge.

I took the picture that morning when I took Blink and Rover to Tent Beach. They love that place as they have all the space to run around and tire themselves out. For this layout I used the Simple Stories Sunshine & Blue Skies collection. I don't know how they do it, but I always love their summer collections, no exceptions! The title is from Vicki Boutin Kaleidoscope.

Thank you for stopping by and have a great day!

Card - Sea You Soon

Hi everyone,

I have another mermaid to share today. I used the Lawn Fawn Mermaid for You set and created the background with the Altenew Dotted Scales Debossing Cover Die. After I ran it through the die cut machine, I colored it with Distress Oxide Inks and created an ombre effect. Then I cut it to the right size with a Lawn Fawn Stitched Rectangle die.

Thank you for stopping by and have a great day!

Card - Sublime Birthday

Hi everyone,

I have another birthday card to share today and I love how Lawn Fawn makes it so easy to make special cards with a different than usual sentiment. For this card I used the You are Sublime set and added the big rock from Mermaid for You and the star fish from I'm so Jelly.

Thank you for stopping by and have a great day!

Card - We Mermaid for each other

Hi everyone,

Today I have a romantic mermaid card to share. I love that cute sentiment from the Lawn Fawn Mermaid for You set! I added some plants and coral from the You are Sublime set and the jellyfish and starfish from the I'm so Jelly set.

Thank you for stopping by and have a great day!

Card - Pirate Birthday

Hi everyone,

I got a request to make a bunch of birthday cards and today I'm sharing one of them. I love these cute little pirates and the scene you can create with the Lawn Fawn Ahoy, Matey! set. To complete the scene, I added the shark fin from the Duh-nuh set.

Thank you for stopping by and have a great day!

Graduation Cards

Hi everyone,

I got the request to make 8 graduation cards. That was not too easy since I don't own any graduation themed stamp and it takes at least 2 weeks to get stuff here. I had 2 days to make them... :-) So I went through my stash and decided to make all beach and ocean themed cards with the sentiments 'Have a relaxing Summer, you've earned it!' from the Lawn Fawn On the Beach set. Inside the cards I stamped 'congratulations'.

These are two of the cards that I made using On the Beach and Hammock and Trees.

Thank you for stopping by and have a great day!

Birthday card

Hi everyone,

Last Monday was Tanner's birthday and I decided to make him a birthday card on behalf of Blink. I think the Lawn Fawn Critters at the Dog Park set is sooo cute and I love how one of the dogs totally looks like Blink! I added some beach elements from the On the Beach set and while I was at it, I thought let's see if those shades fit the dog as well...and look how cute!

Thank you for stopping by and have a great day!
