Dream Darling - Paper Camellia

I must say that it has been a real pleasure, working with and sharing my designs over at Paper Camellia for the year of 2015.  It is sad that the year is ending and my time there is complete.  I thank you for taking time to check out the work I have submitted for them and being so kind.  Here is my last layout.

Beautiful Flo - Paper Camellia

Good morning!

Today, my most favorite layout EVER (or at least lately) is over on the Paper Camellia blog.  

It is of my beautiful baby, Flo!  

Remember the layout from last week with all the dark blue, green and gray triangles?  

Well, all the triangles you see here, are the left over triangles from that sheet of paper.  

Hello Love - Paper Camellia

Today is reveal day over on the Paper Camellia blog.  

This month is full of Crate Paper Shine by Maggie Holmes. 

 I created this layout with the Dazzle piece. 

Head over to the PC blog to see the rest of the goodies in the kit!

Game Ball - Paper Camellia

Yup, that is my handsome boy who received the game ball that day for the Braves!  He had a great hit that helped his team score!  This layout is over on the Paper Camellia blog today.  Head over and check it out.  I used the Main Scrapbooking Kit and the Embellishment Add on as well.

Sisters - Paper Camellia

Today, I'm on the  Paper Camellia blog with a layout I created of my sister and I.  She is blonde, much much taller and my best friend!  I only wish we could could get together more often. 

For my layout, I used both the main kit and the embellishment add-on kit.  If you head over to the PC blog, you can retrieve the links to all the scrapbooking goodness.  Thanks for taking a peek.

Cider Donuts - Paper Camellia

Today I am over on the Paper Camellia blog, sharing this layout of my boy, eating our favorite fall food!  If you have never had a fresh cider donut, you are not living.  It is the most amazing thing ever.  It is soft and crunchy all at the same time.  It truly is divine.  

Ok, time to go check it out over on the Paper Camellia blog.  

Happy - Paper Camellia

Today is a big day over at Paper Camellia.  

We are announcing the November scrapbooking kit and add ons that are available.  

This month is probably one of my favorites.  It combines Pink Paislee with touches of Jen Hadfields, Homemade collection.  It is definitely fitting product for this time of year.  

Here is a look at my first layout for the month, using only the Main Scrapbooking kit.  I didn't use half of the product available.  There are thickers that will be making a debut on my projects later in the month that is for sure.  

I fussy cut these flowers out of one of the Pink Paislee Cedar Lane papers.  I layered some with foam tape for dimension.  

This is my family and my mom, apple picking just a few weeks ago.  I think we were on the hay ride here.  

For my title.  I chopped down one of the 3x4 cards and covered the bottom word.  

I wanted the blue and just the word Happy.  

Thanks for taking a peek.

You're on my Face! - Paper Camellia

Flo is my dog.  

Where ever I am, you will find her. 

 Soon as Randy leaves the bed, she jumps in.  

If I am in the kitchen, she is underfoot.  

When I shower, she is waiting by the door for me to finish.  

When I sit on the couch, she sits right next to me.  

When I lay on the couch, well....... this happens.

For this layout, I used the main scrapbooking kit from Paper Camellia.  This crazy layout is on their blog today.  You can go HERE if you want to join in on the  fun and be a part of the kit club!!

Love my do - Paper Camellia

Today I am over on the Paper Camellia blog.  I used the monthly sketch for this layout.  I have not had a ton of time lately and a sketch is the perfect way for me to get moving!  Head over the the Paper Camellia blog to see other design team members projects.

Here is a peek at the sketch.

Once Upon a Time - Paper Camellia

Starting a new month over on the Paper Camellia blog.  We are getting ready for the October sneak peek and it is full of beautiful product.  I kept my reveal layout simple but right to the point.  I used the gold hearts to look like they are escaping from the jar.

Yes it is pink.  Yes that is my boy.  But, that is also my favorite girl dog that allows me to created with such pretty pink collections.  

Thank you for stopping in today.  You can become a Scrapbooking club member by going HERE.

Gonna Play the Trumpet - Paper Camellia

Walking out of instrument sign ups after Roman chose the trumpet!  Wonder if he thought about getting braces next month?  lol

Head over to Paper Camellia to see more about my layout and signing up for the Scrapbooking kits.

18 - Paper camellia

For 18 years, (this November)  I will be married to this man.  We dated, if you will, for 4 years before that.  Sometimes, it doesn't seem that long.  I still feel too young to married almost 20 years.  

Together, we have seen and done a lot of fun and amazing things.  We have traveled with the military, and traveled on vacations.  We are raising a beautiful boy with a big heart and have had several pets til the end.  When I say 18 years, that seems like forever, but when I look back, it doesn't seem that long at all.

This photo was taken at the batting cages here locally.  The sun shinning in the back is pretty cool but Randy thinks its a halo!  If it were, then it would be over MY head, not his!

Here is what I created with the September Paper Camellia Scrapbooking Kit.  

I am over on the Paper Camellia blog today where I am share this layout.  

When I saw the cork numbers, this is what popped in my head!  Well, the idea with the numbers anyway.  The rest built from there.  The majority of this layout is created with Crate Paper Wonder and the brads are from Simple Stories.

PS - the date stamp you see, that is from Studio Calico and it is NOT included in your main scrapbooking kit.  It is just a super cool date punch that I just bought!

4th Block Party - Paper Camellia

Today, I am over on the Paper Camellia blog.  This was the perfect piece of paper to create my layout for my recent block party, don't you think?  I was at my mom's house, on her kitchen table, cutting these houses into strips for about an hour!  

It is definitely more fun to play with paper when others are with you.  It may have taken that long because of all of the chatting that was happening.  But, that is what makes it more fun.  My son would say funner!  

I layered them and raise some with foam tape.  It is hard to see but it helped create a touch of dimension.  I love how it turned out.  

If you are looking for a fun monthly scrapbooking kit to club to join, this one may be for you!

Go HERE to check to out.  

I Love You - Paper Camellia

My final layout for the month is up over at Paper Camellia.  

It was a pretty fun kit!  Go check out the closeups HERE.

Here is a peak into next months kit!

Coulter Family Fun! - Paper Camellia

Each month, Paper Camellia provides a sketch as a jumping off point for inspiration.  I love sketches and this is my take on this months sketch.  Boy, this pictures is pretty old.  Look how little my boy its!

Here a look at the sketch.  I just reversed it.  

I also painted the weed veneer blue to help being more blue into my layout.

I also created this cute card based on the sketch too.  

Thank you taking a look!

NOTworthtenbucks - Paper Camellia

Good morning.  No, I did not make a mistake and run my words together.  I meant to add a hashtag before my title but there wasn't one so I left it as is.  I think it is fun!  Speaking of fun, today is reveal day over at Paper Camellia.  You get to see what the design team has been up to with the August kits. We get them a tad bit before the customers and hopeful get to inspire you  to dig into your box as soon as it gets to your front door.  It is a pretty exciting day when it shows up at my door, I tell ya!

For this layout, I wanted to use as much Fancy Pants in the kit as possible.  I added a few Pink Fresh embellishments that coordinated and some journaling to help you understand the title.  

Head over to Paper Camellia to see what the other designers have created.  

Also, I have to tell you that I scrap lifted this layout.  Yup.  Every Sunday over at Paper Issues facebook page, they have Scrap lift Sunday.  This week was a layout by Mandy Kay Starner.  You should check it out HERE.  Lift it if you want!  Be sure to share.
