Guesting for Shimelle.com

I've been so excited to share this.... a couple of months ago I was asked to guest design for Shimelle.com.  I was given the assignment to create a 'graduation' themed scrapbook page, since I don't have a lot of my own graduation photos I borrowed some from a friend.

 When documenting special events, I like to keep my design simple and keep the emphasis on the photos. I choose my products based on color matching the photos and like to add in hand journaling and machine stitching to give it a personal feel.

 I used the April Bucket List Kit from Scrapbook Circle to complete this page.   I also added some Studio Calico essentials pieces and thickers from American Crafts.

thanks for letting me share my guest design layout with you, to see the full blog post go here

American Crafts DT May Gallery

Hi everyone!

I have some projects to share with you today that I made for the American Crafts DT May Gallery.  I love that we are able to mix and match their collections, including collections from their other brands.  Here are two layouts that I made using the wonderful Studio Calico Wanderlust collection ~ So fun!

Wonder

Photo of my Daughter and her friends on promotion day from Jr. High - to High School.  I can't believe it has been a year already, she is finishing up the school year tomorrow and then it is on to her Sophomore year.

I used the Wanderlust collection again on my second layout and threw in some Maggie Holmes Styleboard brads ~ love those!

Pretty Clever

This is layout is about my niece Miranda.  This photo was taken shortly after her graduation from high school and now she is studying at UC Santa Cruz.  I'm so proud of her and feeling so old.  Really where does the time go? 


Thanks for stopping by!
I hope you enjoyed my layouts today~
