We both have Covid.

 Kind of a tongue in cheek page about us both being sick with Covid. Changed my photo to sepia toned and used some embellishments from the Pink Paislee 5th & Monaco collection. The patterned paper is from a 6x6 paper pad. I mounted four papers on some cardstock.

This is for a challenge at Lasting Memories to use flowers and tags. Nailed it. Thanks for looking!

travel as much as you can.

 Hi friends! Today I'm sharing a layout based on a sketch at Paper Issues. I don't normally do four photo layouts. I think they're hard! But I made this work. I used lots of Bella Blvd goodies from my stash.

Thanks for looking!

 Hi friends! Today I'm sharing a layout using some new patterned papers from Denise Boddey Designs.

I love the watercolor background look of the After the Rain patterned paper. So pretty! I applied gesso + Shimmerz to create my own mixed media design as a mat for my photos. I wanted it to blend and coordinate with the pattern paper background. I used the Chic patterned paper to mat my photos. After that was dry, I grabbed the mini brick stencil from TCW to add some more interest behind my photos. I mixed Shimmerz Keep Palm with some opaque texture paste from Ranger. Then I just added some embellishments from my stash!

This page is going in my nephew's album. Thanks for looking!

hello summer.

 This week Lasting Memories has a challenge to use 4x4 photos. This was more difficult than I thought it would be. I combined this challenge with the 'tickled pink' challenge at Paper Issues this month.

I planted cosmos in my butterfly garden last summer - a first. They were gorgeous! and lasted well into the fall. I can't wait to get some more this summer!

you are gold.

 I'm back with the 'all the glitters is gold' challenge for Paper Issues. I used my brayer and some black gesso on this white cardstock. While the gesso was still wet, I threw down some gold SMS sequins. Then I found this gorgeous gold foil paper from Studio Calico I've been hoarding and cut out a Paper Issues cut file. 

These photos were when I was practicing with my new iPhone 12 portrait modes. I thought it was cute to fit them inside the cut file. Thanks for looking!

remember this.

 Hi friends! This layout is from Easter - my nephew's first! So keeping with that idea, I'm playing along with the Easter word challenge this month at Lasting Memories. Word challenges are my nemesis. 

I used Elle's Studio; Adhesive tape; Simple Stories; Tag; Easter pic; Ranger distress ink. Thanks for looking!

Pastarrific [Challenge YOUrself 88].

Welcome back to another monthly challenge at Challenge YOUrself, where we like to see YOU in the photos. This month we're doing something a little different - alphabet soup. We want you to choose any letter of the alphabet and then also pick design elements that start with the same letter. 

I chose P and used PinkFresh Studios, pink cardstock, Paper Issues cut file, Pastarrific word title. This pretty background paper is from the new collection from PinkFresh called Keeping it Real.

Thanks for looking!

 Hi friends! Today I'm sharing a wedding layout for Denise Boddey Designs. This gorgeous chipboard piece is called Spray of Flower Background.

I applied some gesso to my chipboard and then pink gin Nuvo crackle mousse. This is a really beautiful color with some shimmer and crackle.
