Paper Ala Mode Summer

Here's the fab Cone Flowers. All papers, sentiment, and flower are digital.

For patterned papers, we have Cone Flower Love.  The flower is from Cone Flowers (I cut one flower off - accidentally).  Kind of pretty, eh?

To the right we have a sentiment from the Itty Bitty Summer set.  That is a whole set of summer sentiments - click here to see more!

ECAL Users Group Anything Goes Challenge

The current challenge at the ECAL/SCAL group is Anything Goes (using ECAL or SCAL).  I purchased a new shower curtain, but wanted to add some color to it.  I added the teal/turquoise flowers and leaves.  I used roses to match the new comforter I have in my guest room.

Splitcoast Stampers Featured Stamper

There's a new Featured Stamper at Splitcoast Stampers.  A while back I was selected at Featured Stamper, and this fabulous honor is awarded to a new crafter each week.  The Featured Stamper's gallery is inspiration for the rest of us - each choosing a project to CASE - this week I thought this was the perfect card for me to CASE.  It's simple (I'm still working with very little in my craft room after tile installation).  I wanted to share a stencil technique with my 14-year-old pen pal - this offered plenty of room to demonstrate the stencil technique. 

The papers are from 2012 Halloween Papers from Tsunami Rose.  I added the orange stencil technique (digitally, of course), using a stencil I bought at Walmart years ago and never used.  Finally I added a sentiment from my stash.  I thought the orange flourishes using the stencil were a nice touch.

Be sure to visit Splitcoast Stampers and see the wonderful Featured Stamper projects - if you would like, join us!  Check out details here.

Stick It Down Sketch Challenge

I made a digital layout - missing my craft room during tile installation - and trying to keep up on my scrapbooks with some digital designs.  I used digital paper from We Are 3 (Bumble Bee) - and embellishments from Free Scrapbooking, Creative Fabrica, and The Hungry JPEG. 

The design is inspired by this month's Sketch Challenge at Stick It Down. (I flipped the design horizontally.)

Featured Stamper

Oops!  A little late here for this week's new Featured Stamper Challenge at Splitcoast!  I was having a bit of trouble with this one until I wandered across the Watercolor Autumn Collection from Design Bundles.  Some additions from CU by Day and Free Digital Scrapbooking made it all come together - so hear you go! In case you haven't guessed - all digital since my craft room is still in disarray from tile installation.

Black and White at Paper Ala Mode

A card for the new Paper Ala Mode Challenge - Black and White - using Mostly Dots and Floral Mums.


These floral mums are an all-time favorite with me. I added a floral frame just for fun.  I love black-and-white cards.  I do so hope you will visit the challenge at Paper Ala Mode to see more fabulous inspiration from the Design Team.

I Love Bumble Bee at We Are 3

Gotta say, Bumble Bee is one of my favorite collections - a fave color combination.  I made a layout using the fabulous Bumble Bee by We Are 3.  I used Graduation Cap for embellishing - with a computer-generated title.

This is just one of the fabulous digital paper collections available in We Are 3's shop.  Be prepared to be amazed when you visit.

July Virtual Crop at Creative Memories

Creative Memories monthly virtual crop is this weekend.  My layout features bunnies from Kadoodle Bug, and WOW - they are fabulous! 

The papers are from Nine.  This is the last page of the album, so was trying to use up what was already printed.  I already had the bunnies printed and cut.  I printed the title - the photos will be of my year-old eating and making a mess.  Please visit the Creative Memories Virtual Crop to see fab inspiration, and stop back often as each participant will be adding layouts throughout the weekend.  Don't miss it!

#CMVirtualCrop3July2021

The July Virtual Crop is happening at Creative Memories.  Can you guess what I'm doing?  Yup - a digital layout - which must mean I haven't been able to restock my craft table after having tile installed.  I used Baby Prints for this layout.  The papers are from Nine.  I added floral embellishments from the Watercolor Yellow and Gray Roses from Creative Fabrica.

Sunday Songs and Rhymes Challenge at The Outlawz

Today I'm posting a digital card for the Sunday Songs and Rhymes challenge at The Outlawz.  This is the place to go for inspiration from cardmakers using designs inspired by a poem or song.  I created a floral card using flowers and sentiment from Blue Valentine (Lisete Scrap).  I thought it was perfect for the line, "So I shall go out in my slippers in the rain and pick flowers in other people's gardens."  

I have a purple background for the line, ""When I am an old woman I shall wear purple."

Baking Cookies

I'm so excited to finally having tile installed in my craft room - but missing a lot of crafting time!!!  I passed the time today creating a digital card for the Featured Stamper challenge.  We are 3 is responsible for the digital papers (Baking Cookies), and I am so happy to be showcasing them to you now.

The Outlawz Progressive Freebie Challenge

Okay - so today I'm passing off a digital card as a "real" card because I have no printer for probably the next TWO WEEKS!  This Progressive Freebie came at just the right time - since my whole house is torn apart for tile installation.   So in case you haven't guessed, I colored Red Panda from Fabrika Fantasy digitally.

Be sure to check out the fabulous makes by everyone at The Outlawz and come play along.

We Are 3 GranMargaret's Flowers

This layout features GranMargaret's Flowers.  I added titles from Thanksgiving Words (Miss kate Cuttables) - just perfect for family/friends layout.  I often cut out several of these generic words that work great for titles when I need them.

I have adorable floral embellishments from Wedding Florals.  Tell me they are not precious!

Creative Memories Virtual Scrapbook Class

It's a new month and a new virtual scrapbook class offered by our local Creative Memories consultants - where you can always find inspiration from these fabulous ladies - and for Free!  This layout design was just perfect for a wedding layout.

I used computer-generated journaling inside the circles.  I printed a bunch of floral designs so I had lots of options for framing the circles.  Just kept adding flowers and leaves until I was satisfied.

I used digital paper from the GranMargaret's Flowers from We Are 3.  I added flourish embellishments - also from Wedding Floral (Design Bundles).  I hope you like it as much as I liked creating it.
