..:: wonderful first lesson ::..

Hi friends! I am up on the {A Flair For Buttons} blog today with this layout I used using flair from the Black and Gold Flair set. 

Here is a close up of that lovely flair.

I am supper lucky to be on a few design teams. As a result, I was also able to use items from the Color Cast Designs September release that I got from Color Cast Designs. The wood veneer items on this page are from CCD and I love them! Here are a few close ups:

Finally I was able to use several items from Shimmerz Paints on this layout for my background.  I had so much fun making this one!

I also made a process video, if that suits your fancy!

Thanks for stopping by! See you again soon!

Hi friends! I'm here today with a project using a couple of the September Release sets from Color Cast Designs. These confetti leaves are completely awesome. Here is my project:

Here are a couple of close ups of those amazing leaves: 

I used one of these Currently Tags (also from the Color Cast September Release) as part of my title (I used the word "making").

Most of my other supplies are from the Paper Issues Store. My background paper and the huge "memories" word are from Dear Lizzy's most recent collection, Star Gazer.  And all of the other cards and embellishments are from the Rocktober Kit (like a swag bag on crack) from Paper Issues. I also based my layout design on this Sketchy Saturday sketch.

But don't take my word for it...I made a video of my process, if that suits your fancy.

Thanks for stopping by! See you again soon!

Pssst....my October Hip Kit is here!  Watch for a new layout using the kit, by the end of the week! :-)

..:: grand smiles ::..

Hi friends! Here today with a layout that I made for the Hip Kit Club this week.  My assignment this week was a product focus -- using the Paige Taylor Evans stamp set in the September Embellishment Kit. 

I grabbed some coral ink by Hero Arts and stamped that flower about a 110x (give or take). And then I cut them out!

I used Tuscan Sun Shimmerz Spritz and Caribbean Sun Shimmerz Spritz (both from the September Color Kit) to create a background for my photo, and to anchor the flowers a bit.

I used both exclusive alpha (from the September Main kit and the Embellishment kit) for my title. 

This was a super fun layout -- and I love how it turned out. I made a process video if that suits your fancy!

Thanks for stopping by and see you soon!
