living the dream.

Playing along with the 11/10 scraplift challenge at Paper Issues this month. We are lifting Anna this time. Here's her gorgeous page using CVS:

I also used CVS on my page, scrapping a wedding photo from my brother's wedding this past September. I used a free cut file from Paper Issues for my title.

Thanks for looking!

the best.

I really wanted to document the gift my brother got for my mom last year. He had custom pet portraits made for her (and me, and his fiancee, and himself) and she cried when she opened it.

Hunter was her baby and just the sweetest boy. His portrait turned out amazing! I also thought the one of my brother's dog, Vanilla, turned out perfectly!

I followed sketch 398 from Sketches in Thyme. I grabbed a cut file from Paper Issues (they're free!) and made some sequin shaker presents. I used Lucky Charmer sequins from Spiegelmom Scraps. Then I embellished with some Elle's Studio and Scrappin Happy Studio flair. Thanks for looking!

falling leaves.

This autumn photo is of my boy from two years ago that I never scrapped.

I was inspired by sketch 188 at Sketch N Scrap. I used a free cut file from Paper Issues and flair from Scrappin Happy Studio.

Thanks for looking!

sweet.

How gorgeous was my brother's wedding cake?! Perfect for this month's Paper Issues Adspiration challenge.

I used the lovely Happiness collection from Cocoa Vanilla Studio and Gum Drops sequins from Spiegelmom Scraps. This cake cut file is from Handipaper Etsy shop. Her cut files are gorgeous!

Thanks for looking!

pick me up.

I'm sharing this page for the Pinspire Me challenge at Paper Issues. I was inspired by the moody oranges to scrap this page about fall flowers my coworkers sent me.

 I used the PinkFresh Just a Little Lovely collection + Office Hours. The title is a cut file from Paige Evans. Thanks for looking!!

family.

I'm here playing along with Rochelle's November sketch challenge. I converted this sketch to 8.5x11 size and had to ditch one of the photos because of the smaller size. I dug into my Christmas stash on this - all old goodies.

I finished up my Holly Berries sequins from Spiegelmom Scraps on this shaker. Lasting Memories has a challenge to use stripes on your page this month so I chose my patterned paper from Kaiser Craft based on that challenge. Thanks for looking!

October winnings!

I never win anything so to find out I was selected FOUR times last month was pretty exciting!

This page was selected as a top three at Sketches in Thyme.

 

Then Elle's Studio selected this page from Instagram and I won a store credit from them!

Scrap the Girls announced the July winner was this page.

Also, I was a randomly selected winner at Lasting Memories challenges and won a gift card to Paper Issues!

PLUS I have some excited news to share later this month - so stay tuned!

wedding timeline.

My brother got married in September so I have some more wedding layout to scrapbook :)

This page was inspired by this weekend's Scraplift Sunday at Paper Issues. I really love the loose grid design and felt it would be great for my "time line" Snap Chat photos. I love time stamping photos for different events like vacations - or weddings!

I used primarily the Unforgettable collection from CocoaVanilla Studio. I added some different Thickers + some flair from Scrappin Happy Studio. Thanks for looking!
