Crisp days of Fall

Hi everyone,


Are you enjoying the Crisp Autumn weather yet?

We had a bit of a cool down last week, but too many days that were in the high 80's and low 90's this week in Northern California. I am really longing for some Crisp Autumn days. Fall is my favorite season, and it has inspired me to make this layout using the new Fusion collection from Ruby Rock-it designs.

Crisp days of Fall layout:

I paired fusion papers with some fundamental kraft pieces and some fun burlap paper from the new Cook collection.

I just love how all these elements tie together nicely, I even added some paper from the Arcadia collection. And I added a bit of canvas paper, that I got from my local craft supply store to add some texture to the layout.


supplies: Bella! fusion sandalwood paper, leaf paper
Fundamentals: gold accents, kraft alphas
Arcadia collection: Tranquil paper
Bella! fundamentals: chipboard icons and letters
cook collection: burlap paper

Thanks for stopping by today. Have a great weekend!

sharing my first CK pub!

Happy Friday Friends,

Hope that your weekend is starting off well. It is a little chilly out this morning, so I am wrapped up in a blanket with a cup of Pumpkin Spice coffee catching up on blogging and hoping to get some play time in today. It's a perfect day to stay in and scrap!

I realized this morning that I have a recent publication that I haven't shared with you yet. So here we go...

This one, I am super excited about..

This was my first ever pub in Creating Keepsakes Magazine!

Dream Layout:

I was super excited to have this layout picked up. This was for a teen inspiration column in the July/August 2012 issue. The layout was about my daughter's dream of having a career in the fashion industry as a fashion designer. To highlight on the fashion trend I added bits of lace, sequins and fabric yoyo's to my layout.
Not only did they pick up my layout, but they also requested a photo of something in my daughter's room that inspires her. Since she has a setup in her room with a drawing desk and dress forms this photo was perfect to compliment the article.
Here is a peek of my layout in print:

Have a great weekend!
