We Are 3 View

The fab background is View from We Are 3.  I added a border, fall tree, and a sentiment from the Itty Bitty set.  The View image is specifically made for slim line cards - I shrunk it to be the focus on the card, rather the entire card.    

 

Splitcoast Stampers Featured Stamper

For today's Featured Stamper I went with a gift bag using patterned paper from We Are 3. 

The paper is from Rainbow Skies from We Are 3.

The flowers have been in my stash for several years.  Cute, eh?  Please stop by Splitcoast Stampers to see the fab creations from the Featured Stamper - remember, you have a week to play along.

 

Paper Ala Mode - Outside Looking In

Today I used the lovely Window View and Window Layers for Paper Ala Mode at The Outlawz.  I used paper from the Happy Birthday collection for the background.  The sentiment is from the Anniversary collection.

The challenge is "Outside Looking In."  It runs through March 12, so I hope to see  you there.

  

 

We Are 3's View

There's a new release at We Are 3, and it's a must have!  View for slim-line cards is one of my faves.  I added several Camille's Cactus and Camille's Cactus Flower - reminiscent of our mountains in the Southwest.  

Kinda love how this turned out.

  

View from We Are 3

We Are 3 has made some special slim-line papers for you all in the new View collection.

We are 3 Bokeh Blends

The fab paper is Bokeh Blends.

Featured Stamper - Bokeh Blends

There's a new Featured Stamper challenge at Splitcoast.  The featured stamper has a fabulous assortment of adorable card to CASE.  That beautiful sky is Bokeh Blends (We Are 3).  The image is Bethlehem Silhouette.  

Be sure to stop by the We Are 3 Facebook page to see what else the design team has used with Bokeh Blends....so Cute!

 

We Are 3 Release - Bokeh Blends

We Are 3 has a beautiful new release - Bokeh Blends.  I was excited to see this collection because I have attempted the Bokeh effect without much luck - and now I'm all about nothing messy!  LOL!  I was not prepared for what I experienced after printing this paper and attempting to design a beautiful card.  The paper is SO BEAUTIFUL, I didn't want to put anything on top of it!  I tried lots of embellishments and designs and there was nothing I had that was worthy of this beautiful paper!  I am pretty sure Bonnie would think I was nuts to post a plain card with just the background Bokeh paper!  LOL!

Years ago a neighbor gave me a scrapbook kit that contains some dimensional flowers - and while they are pretty, they really weren't my style.  In a desperate attempt to make something with this beautiful background, I pulled out that kit and right on top was this beautiful dimensional flower - tada!  

I really want a shirt with fabric this beautiful.  I want this pattern on the walls in my craft room!  I truly believe this might be the most beautiful paper I've ever seen....great job, Bonnie!!!  Sadly, you're probably too busy to come out to Arizona to Bokeh my walls, huh?

SG Scrap Squad Challenge #5

One of the virtual crop challenges at SG Scrap Squad is a vertical heart border.  An easy one!  I like a torn look - but my tearing generally isn't too impressive, and even using my deckle blade, I never seem to get a look I want.  I found some deckle svg files in my stash and used that for the first time.  I like the look I ended up with.  I wanted some colorful hearts, so used Assorted Hearts from Miss Kate Cuttables for my border, digitally filled with the distressed papers I'm using throughout this album.   

The title I added is computer generated. 

Hearts Emphasis

Today is the sixth day of the SG Scrap Squad's Heart Emphasis Virtual Crop - a three-week long set of challenges using hearts.  I've been lurking this site for a while now - thought I would finally become a participant.  This challenge is to create a layout with a tag(s) embellished with hearts.

Scrap Squad Virtual Crop

Here's a little something for the SG Scrap Squad.  I colored the elephant digitally.   

Sunflower from Craft with Sarah

I love making layered mandalas because they are so simple and it's getting to be there are patterns for everything you can think of...some nicer than others, of course.  One of my scrappin' acquaintances asked that I make a sunflower for her daughter.  I was excited to do so...not as excited with the results, but it was certainly fun making!  I used a variety of papers from my digital stash.  Hah, I even pulled out some ink to distress the center for this one!  Easy peasy and lots of fun!

Creative Memories Virtual Crop

For this layout I used Spring Medley and some embellishments from Berry Good.  The Creative Memories embellishments are amazing.  The more I play with them, the more fun ways I find to use them.   

Stick It Down Sketch Challenge

Well, I finally found some time to play with Stick It Down this month.  I used Free Digital Scrapbooking's April Showers.  The embellishments are pandas from Kadoodle Bug - the tooth is just clipart.  The titles are computer generated.  I had a ball this weekend scrapbooking, inspired by a virtual crop - I'm in my happy place when I'm scrapbooking!

Creative Memories Virtual Crop

Happy Tuesday!  Hope you are having a fabulous week.  Today's layout was created using a sketch from last week's Creative Memories Virtual Crop using Spring Medley from Creative Memories.  I also showcasing some embellishments from a Polar Express it I bought years ago.  This was such a wonderful day!

Paper Ala Mode Sentiments

My card for the current Paper Ala Mode challenge is a simple card using the adorable Sentimental Canvas from We Are 3, and the Birthday Greetings digital sentiments set - also from We Are 3.  The small sentiment is from the Sending You set. 

Free Digital Scrapbooking April Showers

Creative Memories Virtual Crops call for a weekend of scrapbooking, and there's nothing more satisfying that getting lots of layouts completed with fun papers and sweet images.  The titles are computer generated.  

Creative Memories Virtual Crop Challenge

Time always flies when you're having fun, and I sure have fun during the Creative Memories Virtual Crops.  The design paper is Free Digital Scrapbooking, and the embellishments are from my stash.  

I used the fun April Showers.
