Paper Issues - Fancy Pants

Hi everyone!

I went through my stash and I still have so many collections that I have hardly used, so I made a layout with Fancy Pants Vitamin Sea. It has gorgeous bold colors and patterns and of course my favorite theme: the ocean! I stamped the borders with stamps from Elle's Studio Every Day Tabs.



Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Document Life Stories (DLS)

Hi everyone,

Today I want to introduce you to the Dutch brand DLS, short for Document Life Stories. Their collections are so cute and come with tons of embellishments, which I really need! And the good news is: this Fall they will be starting wholesale, which means it's available outside of The Netherlands too! I was lucky enough a friend of mine went to The Netherlands and brought me some already.

Here are the first two layouts I've made with it, along with Distress Oxide Inks.








Thank you for stopping by today!

Paper Issues - Summer Crop, Hop Scotch

Hi everyone,

Today I'm sharing a layout for the Paper Issues Summer Crop Hop Scotch challenge. The story behind these photos and title is that my friend and I went hiking with our dogs. We wanted a picture of them looking over the wall, but they were not really cooperating. My friend decided to throw pieces of ham over the wall, but all that happened was them taking turns looking over the wall :-) These pics happened to turn out good enough for a funny story on a page anyway. 

I used the Simple Stories Great Escape collection and alpha from Elle's Studio.




Thank you for stopping by and have a great day!

Paper Issues - Summer Crop, Sunshine in my Soul

Hi everyone,

We hope you're all enjoying the Paper Issues Summer Crop that is happening in the Paper Issues Friends & Fans Facebook group. We have tons of challenges and games going on all weekend and we love to see what you create!

My first layout is for the Sunshine in my Soul challenge and the free Sunny Rays and Waves cut file is perfect for it! I used it as a stencil and ink blended all the pieces with Distress Oxide Inks. Then I cut the file again out of patterned paper to cover it up. All papers and embellishments are from Simple Stories Vintage Coastal, the alpha is from Elle's Studio.




Thank you for stopping by and hope to see you around at the crop!
