I've been a busy girl...

working on DT assignments, magazine submissions, and buying up as many border punches as I can. Call me crazy, but I am obsessed with border punches. Another thing that I have really enjoyed working with lately are black and white photos. Here is a recent layout that I have done in the past week using black and white photos.

Fashion & Design & Dreams layout



I used papers from Cosmo Cricket's Social Club collection and Epiphany Crafts round 25 shape studio tool
Did you see the border punch in the bottom corner. It is a new zig zag punch that I bought from EK Success.

Cosmo Cricket Salt Air projects

So I stopped by my friend Sarah de Guzman's store in Newark recently and picked up the new Salt Air line from Cosmo Cricket.
Can I just say this line is amazing? And so versatile too!

Seal Rock layout:


Cosmo Cricket: Salt air paper, tiny alpha's and chipboard shapes; Epiphany Crafts: studio round epoxy tool and vintage settings; jillibean soup: bean stalks red twine; Maya road: chipboard banner pieces; Studio Calico: Mister huey's lunch tray mist; Martha Stewart: punch; Bazzill: cardstock

At the beach layout:

I don't typically do a whole lot of handwriting on my layouts, but this was so fun. I used a Glaze pen by Sakura and alternated words with teeny tiny alphas.

You're Invited card:

Who doesn't love a fun beach themed invite? Just a simple card I whipped up using the Salt air papers, and 1 inch round epoxy tool from Epiphany Crafts.

Decided to do one last card that did not have a beach theme

Just for you card:



If you live in the bay area check out Sarah's store Our Paper Place
for all the materials to make these projects. You will get amazing service and leave there with tons of inspiration too!
