This month, I was given My Mind's Eye - Funday to work with!! The line is a kraft based product, with some pops of colour too!! It is really perfect for those super bright photos you have on hand that just don't go with other papers out there, like these ones of my son last Halloween:

In addition to the ledger paper, and the black chevron paper, I used the embellishment package - it is full of felt strips, kraft/colour tickets and kraft/colour paper edges. I added in some of the MME Funday chipboard and even some of the Bella Blvd Sophisticates chipboard pieces too!

 Check out the Ormolu flair and there is that Cosmo Cricket phrases that Wendy and I have been using :) They are really versatile! I also made really great use of my Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher that the store has available!! It is the perfect little staple and made adhering the embellishments SUPER easy!

We appreciate your patience as we work on upgrading our store and gallery... please visit us in the forum for updates and lots of scrapping inspiration too!

Little Lady with Lily Bee Designs!

Happy February! I am so pleased with the collection I got to work with from the LCOM store this month. From the moment I laid eyes on the amazing color scheme in Lily Bee Designs' Head over Heels collection, I knew I just had to work with it.

Here are some details of my layout. First up - I used a Maya Road kraft doily, outlining the little holes with my black pen. Then I added some pop dots on a sticker from the Head over Heels sticker sheet:


The sticker sheet has a lot of great words and images on it. For this close-up, I actually cut the words out of the sticker to use it and not the whole square it comes on:


This collection has a beautiful doily pattern in one of the sheets. I couldn't help but cut some out to use as embellishments on my page. So easy and inexpesive! I used a brad in the centre, along with some ink and voila!


There is also a fabulous 12 x 12 alpha sticker sheet! There are 8 different colors that match the line perfectly and are the perfect size for journalling or adding little words to your pictures like I did here:


Here's another spot where I cut out some of the doilies to use:


And here is my layout!

I can't believe it's already February 1st!  The winter has just been flying by.  Maybe it's because we haven't had very wintery weather, but it's snowing today!!!!  I decided to use the super super cute Love Me collection from MME this month.  This collection is seriously adorable!

This collection comes with a sheet of die cuts and it has quite a bit on it.  How cute is this banner???  I added some trim on top and a little bling!



I cut out some hearts and popped up some of them for dimension.

I finished it up by adding some embellishments!  I love pink, it makes me happy!!!

Supplies used:  MME Love Me collection and die cuts, thickers, bling, twine, button, butterflies, 3D foam squares.

The LCOM store still has some of this beautiful collection in stock!

I'll be back next week with another LO with this beautiful collection.

{Wrapping Up January}

How will you remember January? Did it go by like a blur? Or maybe it dragged on, incredibly slow...however you remember January...I hope you take the time to mark the occasion. (The good and the bad.) Our January was quite full of ups and downs, we accomplished a lot amongst all of the good and bad.

I promised myself that this year I would document all the little things, even more so than I already do. I am a stickler for small details and this project I have endeavored upon is perfect for me. I encourage you to document the everyday things.

January isn't as detailed as I wanted because I had every intention of going week by week or even documenting specific days. I settled on a month page for January....and will stay on top of February. I will try to share these in future posts too. :)

Here's January of my sort of *project-y life* ...I didn't want it to be defined. I wanted it to be free flowing leaving room for things that may need to be documented more than others. Sometimes there are pivotal things that need more thought.

I hope that you enjoy looking at the Morgan's January and it encourages you to do the same. :)

Kindergarten Cute

What I love about a product line is when I can use it for multiple themes/subjects and it just works.

The Yearography line by Simple Stories in the LCOM store is perfect for this !!!!  This time, I chose to use the Yearography line for a back to school photo of my son! Everythign is so perfect for this occasion:

The diecut sticker sheets, again, are perfect... this time I used a couple from the Fundamentals sticker sheet.. the
longer strips that are just like patterned paper!

They go really great with the papers in the line too... like the Snippets paper I used in small doses... the fun different patterns all mixed on one page are perfect!

This time, I added in some of the Bella Blvd alphas in McIntosh red that are available in the store in a few different colours! I just love the font and they take distressing really well too! These journalling tags from Elle's Studio are a perfect mix with this line too... they work just perfectly together!

I hope you have been inspired a little to check-out the Yearography in the store today!!! Lots of new CHA goodies have been ordered... and are almost here!!! Keep checking the store page for new items being listed and lots of prodcuts on sale too!

A True Taste of Winter- Feat.Pink Paislee!

I'm back to day with my last January project, featuring Pink Paislee's Snow Day collection!

I decided to do another traditional layout with this line. I can't get enough of the colour scheme here - icy blue, white, deep red, pink, kraft and the smallest touch of orange that just complements the rest of the colors perfectly!

The ephemera pack and the Bitty Blocks alphabet stickers had to be my favourite two embellishments for this line.

Here are some details from my layout:

And the layout:


Happy Scrapping!
