September Planning - mambi

I have my September month planned in my The Happy Planner.  It came together easy when I narrowed down my color choices and stuck to what I chose.  I am sharing before the pen and after it is complete, here and on the me & my BIG ideas blog today.  Head on over to see.

Superbowl Ready & Love - Simple Stories

Did you hear that Simple Stories is trying to name their little puppy mascot?

You still have today to submit an idea.  They will announce the winner tomorrow.  So head over HERE for a chance to win a prize!  

Before they even told us about the mission to name the little fella, I had created this layout about my dog and being Superbowl ready!  I fussy cut the large dog out of a 12x12 piece of paper and added it to my layout.   Perfect timing!

Here is my second layout that is on the blog today too.  Don't let it get overshadowed by the super cute pup!  These two are super cute too!  

Head to the Simple Stories blog for more details and to enter the contest.

Family - Fancy Pants

It is not often that I get together with my paternal grandparents and my mom.  So, I had to show my gramp how to do a selfie!  Our heads look the biggest, but it was still a great picture of some of my favorite people, hanging out together.

SUN FUN - AFB

Summer is almost over.  My boy starts school on the 30th this year.  Earlier than normal.  We sure have been enjoying the summer.  Spending lots of time exploring and just enjoying our pool.

August planning - mambi

Obviously I am a theme girl.  Whether it be a color combination or a holiday, I love to coordinate goodies that make me happy.  Today, I started with turquoise and pink and just so happened to add a bit of purple!  (My son's favorite color!)

More details on the me & my BIG ideas blog today!

Purple peace out!

Happy - Paper Issues

Well, I made a huge mistake the other day.  I started a layout using this cut file from Paper Issues.  I realized what I was using it for, was too early, the cut file hadn't been added to the store or shared with the public.  So, I sat on it for a bit.  This layout came together so quickly, because I already had the cut file cut and a Swag Bag is already coordinated.  WIN WIN!

So, today on the Paper Issues blog, you will see the team sharing how they used the new 

FREE CUT FILE.  Here is my take using the July Swag Bag!

Here is my take on the board.   I drew inspiration from the floral pattern on the roller skates, and the faded colors.
