A Stash of Pretty Paper

So Happy

"So Happy" is the title of my latest layout, but I am also so happy that I finally got this photo from my wedding day scrapped!

It is one of those photos that I have been wanting to scrap for a long time, but I could never find paper that I felt was just right for it. Has that ever happened to anyone else??

In any case when I got the Crate Paper Mia collection I knew I wanted to use it for this photo. The cut-work took quite a bit of time but in the end I think it was all worth it!

Thanks for stopping by :)

Another New Layout to Share

I know I said this already but I am just so happy that I have been getting pages of Dan and me done lately.

Here's one that I finished up last night of a photo from our visit to Jackson Hole, WY last spring. It's kinda hard to see us in the photo LOL but that's okay because the point was to get that whole antler arch.

I made this layout for a challenge to use products by Basic Grey. As for the ribbon, I have been seeing projects around lately with ribbon pleated like that and I have been wanting to try it. I really like the dimension that it adds to the layout. I think I'll be doing that a lot!

Thanks for stopping by!

A Simple Fun Layout

My brother and sister-in-law took us and their kids to Cheyenne Mountain Zoo this past summer when we went to Colorado to visit. It was a great zoo and us big kids had fun there!

Oh this layout was for a challenge in which string had to be used somewhere on the page. I only used a little bit but it is there nonetheless!

I've been focusing more on scrapping for Dan and me lately and I am really glad about it :)

A Couple Layouts to Share

I spent a good amount of time with my scrappy stash last night as well as today and I got a couple more layouts completed!

So there was a challenge to use Prima products somewhere on a project. That was right up my alley as anyone who knows my scrappy side knows that I use Prima on almost everything! Here's my layout... the flowers and crystal flourishes are Prima, and just about everything else is Basic Grey!

Another challenge called for creating a project using a variety of different alphas. So here's my layout using some Thickers, cardstock stickers, and a stamp...

Thanks for looking!

Chipboard Mini-Album

I hope everyone's holidays have been very happy! It was wonderful to spend time with our families! Now that I am home from all of the traveling, I will be getting back to spending time with my scrap stash.

Most of the gifts we gave this year were store-bought, but I did manage to make this cute mini-album for my husband's sister! I am hoping that she will find it useful for some photos of her almost three year old daughter.

It's a 6x6 chipboard album made from raw chipboard sheets cut down to size. All of the papers and butterfly embellishments are from the K&Company Sparkly Sweet collection which is just perfect for photos of a little girl. There is machine stitching throughout the album and I added several flowers, rhinestones, stamped flourishes, and Stickles to bling it up!
