Winter layout


This is my latest layout for "Roomie of the Month" on the House of Paper blog.
I used Basic Grey Oliver collection. I love how versitile the paper is. The snowflake punch is Martha Stewart. The stamp is Catslife Press.
I painted the edges of my photos white for a cold feel. I outlined the lettering to give it a bolder look.

Summer Fun

For our assignments this week at House Of Paper we could use any paper we wanted and scrap any theme that we wanted. I chose to do summer layouts.
On this first layout I used Echo Park Sweet Summertime papers. I like everything Echo Park comes out with and this line was so much fun to use.

On this layout I used Lily Bee Hello Sunshine paper. They are fun colors and I may need to order more!

Im not sure if anyone stops by the blog anymore...but if youre here, thanks for stopping by!

Happiness

The theme at House Of Paper this week is Happiness is...
Here is my take on this weeks assignment.
My first project is a birthday card. I LOVE the Echo Park papers. This one is Sweet Summertime. Its bright and happy all by itself. The stamp is one I got on clearance at Michaels.

This layout is things that make me happy...I couldve added more, but ya know. I used Echo Park paper on this one too...this line is called Walk in the Park.

There is a contest this week to make a happiness is and link it to them to be entered in a drawing for a prize. Also, the blog is updated every week and sometimes more often...be sure to check it out. Its different than the weekly DT uploads.

Layout



This is one of the 5th grade teachers at our elementary school. All of my kids have had him. He's a strict teacher, but the kids all love him. Every year he makes a deal with the kids that he will eat a worm for each section of the end of year testing that the ENTIRE class can score at least 80% on. He had to eat one worm this year.


I used Pink Paislee 365 degrees paper. I paper pieced the worm. The lettering is American Crafts remarks

Thanks for visiting!

I used my Cricut Doodlecharms cartridge to get the shape of this card. The paper is Crate Paper Pink Plum collection. The stamp is Stampin Up.

This card is one I saw in a magazine, I think it was Paper Crafts. I thought it was so cute. I just used Bazzill cardstock for this one. Bought shoelaces at Walmart. The stamp is Stampin Up.

For this card I used a paper piecing pattern by Windows of Time. I used Crate Paper Brook collection.
