May DEBATE TEAM Layouts for The Paper Bakery

Hi Everyone,

Good Morning!  I hope you are all having a wonderful day today.  I have a few layouts to share with you using the really fun May DEBATE TEAM Scrapbook Kit from The Paper Bakery.  Everytime I hear the new song "Let's Take a Selfie" I think of my teenage daughter.  She is permanently attached to her phone and is always taking 'selfies' on it.  I had these fun new photos of her taking selfies on her phone so I decided to create my first layout about it.

Let's Take A Selfie Layout

I started off my layout by using the really cool brown woodgrain paper from American Crafts that comes included in the kit (I just love that texture).  Next, I backed the vellum bow paper with some white cardstock and stitched it onto my page.  Then, I trimmed the large triangles from the Pink Paislee "Rain Boots" paper and adhered it down.  I fussy cut all the fun speech bubbles and added my embellishments (rub ons, tags, puffy stickers).

On my second layout I used the wonderful white woodgrain paper also included in the kit.  I just love that we got two really fun textured papers in the kit this month.  I added a little bit of spray mist to it and the paint picked up the texture of the woodgrain beautifully, I love the look.

Hello Darling Layout

To build my background I cut a large heart from Pink Paislee's "Rain boots" paper and then added some hand stitching around it.  I framed my photo with lots of embellishments and some fussy cut hearts.  I added some rub ons to create my title and voila my layout was done.

The coordinating embellishments and papers in the May Debate Team Scrapbook Kit this month make it easy to put together fast trendy layouts.  Thanks for joining me today!  I hope you stop by the store and pick one up today!

Cards with the May Debate team

Hi everyone, good morning! I have some cards to share today that I made for the Paper Bakery using the May Debate Team Scrapbook Kit.  I love the variety of patterned paper and cute embellishments in this kit, and just knew right away that I would want to use them on a card.

Hello card

To create this card I cut paper strips and then adhered them in a diagonal fashion.  I added the adorable Switchboard puffy stickers that are included in the kit, and my card was made in a snap.

To create my second card, I also used strips, but this time I adhered them in a horizontal pattern.




Hello Friend card

To create the heart background I used the May cut files, and resized the heart background before cutting it to fit my card.

I hope you enjoyed my cards today, I really loved playing with this kit and I know you will too.  Stop by the store to pick up your May Debate Team Scrapbook kit today.  Thanks for stopping by!  Enjoy your day!

Umbrella Rain projects for the Paper Bakery

Hi everyone,

I have some fun layouts to share with you this month that I made for The Paper Bakery using their February Umbrella rain Scrapbook Kit.  This kit has so many fun colors and patterns and the possibilities of what you can make with this kit are endless!


Hello Rainy Day Layout

I started my layout off by cutting out a raindrop background pattern with my Silhouette Cameo, and then I backed each rain drop with a different piece of pattern paper.  I added in these adorable chipboard clouds, flair and alpha stickers that are included in the kit.  I also added in the fun cork stickers from December Times Square Scrapbook Kit and the hello wood veneer from the December Times Square card kit.

Hello Spring Bloom Layout

The cut files that come with the February Umbrella Rain kit are so cool.  I decided to use the fun flower that was included in the free cut files.  I cut several from different pieces of pattern papers and planned my layout around them.  I added in some Printshop Thickers that are available in the February Umbrella Rain Project Kit,  and the hello wood veneer piece is from the Aztec Inspired Wood Veneer set and is available in the Paper Bakery shop.  The cardstock, paper clip and green thickers are from my stash.

Awesome Layout

If you know me, you know that I love color and trends, so I decided to combine the two on this layout.  The plus symbols are a hot trend right now.  I created a plus symbol background in my Silhouette Studio software, cut my page and then added some fun hand embroidery!  The #Instalove  flair button is from the Instalove Flair set and can be found here in the shop.

Happy Note Layout

I decided to let go and have fun with this layout.  I cut out all of my hearts from different pattern papers using a heart punch.  I added in a triangle arrow from the Aztec Inspired Wood Veneer set and that lovely blue vellum from the Love Potion #9 Scrapbook Kit.  The cardstock and plain vellum are from my own stash.

I hope you enjoyed my layouts today made with the Umbrella Rain kit, be sure to stop by the Paper Bakery Blog again tomorrow for some more inspiration from the design team!

Ready for School

Hi Everyone,
I am sharing my very first Paper Bakery post with you.  I was given the January Love Potion #9 Scrapbook kit to play with this month.  I love the mix of pattern papers and embellishments in this kit.  They are great for Valentines day, as well as day to day events.  I decided to make my first layout about my niece who recently started preschool.  I started my layout by creating this fun background in Silhouette studio using different shaped speech bubbles, and then backed them with different pieces of pattern papers and embellishments from the kit.

Ready For School Layout

A quick way to add pizzazz to your layouts is to add stitching to them.  One of my favorite techniques is to add lots of hand stitching to my layouts using embroidery floss.  I used hand stitching as well as machine stitching on this layout.

Check back this month to see more projects made with Love Potion #9.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Hi everyone,

The last week has been a super busy one for me.  Mom was visiting from out of state, the kids were home on Christmas break and I wrapped up my temp job as a sales associate for Canon.  So, things are just starting to get back on schedule now.  I am about a week late in posting this, but if you haven't heard already... I made The Paper Bakery Design Team!

I will be working each month with their scrapbook kit, and I can't wait to get started.  I have an introduction post on their blog today if you want to check it out.

Have a great weekend everyone!
