Sharing some recent publications

Hi everyone!  I must admit it slipped my mind to share these earlier.  I recently had a few layouts published in the Create: Sketches Idea Book 2013 that I would like to share with you.

Fabulous Friends Layout

This photo always makes me smile, our dog Roxy was just a puppy at the time and I am so glad that I captured this moment of her playing with my daughter Kalee.


You Are My Favorite Layout

I took this photo a few years ago of my nephew Derrick at a park on the Antioch piers. I love this photo.

Love This Smile Layout

I used lots of papers from Bella Blvd's Kiss Me collection on this layout, I love the color combo paired with this silly photo of my niece Sophia.

That's it for today, thanks for letting me share.  I think I am going to take my kids to the pool today, it is supposed to be 109 here.  Hot!!

Friends bring color

Hey everyone,

I am sharing a very colorful layout that I made for Bella Blvd with you today.

I wanted to create a vibrant fun layout that was as youthful as the teens in my photos. Bella's High Five alpha's & Alpha + Bits cardstock stickers helped make my title come to life. To complete the look I created these fun whimsical circles paired with Bella's Flags and Crocheted hearts. Bella’s designer tapes are also a great way to make a statement. I paired them together to make a fun border for this layout.

Got candy?

Hi everyone, Happy Halloween! I am up on the Bella BLVD blog today sharing a fun Halloween layout.

Got Candy? layout:

I wanted to create a 'Halloween themed' layout but didn't have Halloween products on hand. So, I decided
to pull papers from different collections that fit a Halloween color theme - purple, orange, and green.
The orange chevron, and green grid patterns that I pulled from the Birthday Boy collection complimented
the purple plum paper that I pulled from the Sprinkles & Lace collection.

To add a playful feel to the layout, I cut out circles with my Silhouette Cameo,
then added some punched stars, Ciao Chip embellishments, buttons and designer tape.

I finished off my layout by adding some doodling, stitching, journaling and a flag from the Thankful Flags 2 collection.

Birthday Boy collection: Eat cake paper, About A Boy paper, Alpha +Bits stickers: photo corner
