New Release at We Are 3

There's a fun new release at We Are 3 called Paris Cafe. 

Here's a layout using the new Paris Cafe collection.  I finished off the layout with computer-generated journaling and a time season stamp at the top.

Garden of Roses from Creative Fabrica

Here is the last page of my current album.  I had so much fun with this paper collection.  I even dragged this album out to a crop - although I way over prepared and now have lots of this paper left over. 

Garden of Roses from Creative Fabrica

I'm so enjoying scrapping my little niece.  Such a fun subject!  I've chosen the gorgeous Garden of Roses for this book. 

It's a Birthday!

Today I'm sharing a card showcasing a fun pop-up.  My hubby and his golfing buddy haven't been able to be on the course for over two years now - and they are finding it hard to get back in the groove.  For his partner's birthday, I thought a gag gift was in order to get some "home" practice - one of the infamous potty putters.  Of course, I had to include a themed card, don't ya think? 

The toilet was created by Sandy at Simply Crafty - this is her prototype and it fit perfectly as a centerfold pop-up - but can also be made to be a stand-alone card.  I'm sure Sandy will be adding the toilet to her store after completing the file for sharing...be on the lookout.  The sentiments are computer generated - the birthday sentiment popped as well. 

Good Times

Tell me this isn't the perfect girlie layout.  

Shades of Blue at Paper Ala Mode

Today a new Paper Ala Mode Challenge starts at The Outlawz with the theme of Shades of Blue.  Big surprise - I chose blue for my project!  This is made using Textured Scenes, and SURPRISE!  The papers are all shades of blue!  I chose a printable from the Silhouette Scenes set and added it to the front of my frame.  I popped the layers of the frame.  The sentiment is from the Hugs set.  Just layer it and I was good to go! 

We Are 3's got plenty of blue digital paper patterns, so come play along!  Check out all of the fun at Paper Ala Mode.

New Progressive Freebie Challenge at The Outlawz

It's September - time for a new Progressive Freebie challenge at The Outlawz.  Today I'm showcasing the gorgeous The Little Ballerina.  I decided to color her in traditional pink.  Of course, I added ballerina slippers using Ballet Shoes from Angie's Digital Stamps, using pink, because pink is just made for ballerinas, don't you think?

She's colored digitally.  Everything was cut using my Eclips and several layers popped.  The sentiment is from Power Poppy and popped as well.  Be sure to visit the Progressive Freebie challenge on the first of each month for a new freebie - and remember to join us for all the fun. 

New Release at We Are 3

In my mind, nothing is more beautiful than an ink-blended background...today I chose to use the adorable Moody Night for my background.  The design papers in this collection from We Are 3 are all  ink-blended designs inspired by the moon, sun, and fantasy.

I've gotta say, creating this card was so much fun.  You can find the Wild Flowers and Bird Songs sentiment in the We Are 3 Etsy shop.  A huge thanks to the talented Bonnie Kohane for her beautiful work.  Be sure to check out fab inspiration on the Facebook page...and leave Bonnie some love.

Fall Tag Challenge at Ecal Users Group

Last day of tag inspiration on the Ecal Users Group today using Fall Flower Group from Miss Kate Cuttables.  Aren't they pretty?  Just look at those colors! 

This was a ball to make.  I was inspired by a card from Heartfelt Creations - but wanted to make it as a gift tag, so had to alter the dimensions.  I love how it turned out.

I printed the flowers for background and on the doily - then used Print2Cut.  The sentiment is from Magical Sparkle - popped a top the doily.  The doily is Circle Doily Frames from Birds Cards.  I added the holes using the Rhinestone effect in eCal.  Birds Cards has more fabulous doily frames - so be sure to check them out.

You've Gotta Spread Those Tail Feathers

Fall is an especially great season at the eCal Users Group.  Here's another tag for the Fall Tags Challenge.  I used a circle tag and added a cute turkey.  I'm still in Halloween mode - so the tail feathers obviously reflect that.   

The tag paper pattern is Happy Christmas.

New Challenge at the eCal Users Group

A brand new challenge starts today at the eCal Users group with the theme of Fall tags.  Halloween is always a fun theme because it seems if you put anything together with Halloween colors - it works.   Yes....I'm not sure if Halloween is what they think of as Fall, but with temps here still 100+ - not sure what Fall even looks like any more.  So I couldn't resist a tag featuring one of my favorite holidays - Halloween.

I started out with a tag from my stash - just one of the many tags I already have cut.  I topped that with a smaller tag from my stash in a different shape.  Worked out great and I'm two tags less of a hoarder!  I forget where I got all the Halloween goodies - all in my stash except the BOO - from Free Digital Scrapbooking.  #ecalscalmaker
