B. lost her first tooth! Luckily Paper Issues is having a product spotlight on Amy Tangerine's Oh Happy Life and it worked just perfectly to tell this story.

I'm not gonna lie, I bought more than one of that striped paper on the left. I completely dig it, and all the colors in this collection. 

Here are a few close ups:

Hi!  It's Round 2 of the latest issues at Paper Issues and I got to play along. Here is my take on the theme this month.

This month is all about the Unbe-leafable Great Outdoors! I chose this photo of my daughter outside with cattails. She was so excited about them! Here are a few suggestion about how to play along:

• Share your projects about fall, camping, hiking, back to school, etc.
• Use leaves or outdoor items as embellishments.
• Show us those cute back to school photos of your kiddos, grandchildren, even yourself.

Details on how to play along on the Paper Issues Blog today! I can't wait to see what you share with us!

Hi! It's been a while! Far too long since I've been able to play with paper -- but I'm back today with a layout for Paper Issues' Mix It Up Monday!  This layout features a missing tooth!

I used a bunch of Cocoa Vanilla's recent collection Love Always and I am loving it! The challenge this month is to make something mixed media-ish (I used acrylic paint, water, and water colors) and then CUT IT UP! You can use your die cut machine, your scissors, or punches. I created a 'background' using orange watercolors and pink paint. Then I used several sizes of circle punches to punch out these circles! Here's a process video if that suits your fancy!

And here are a few close ups!
