Imagine - Paper Issues

 Friends!  

Look at my little space man!  How cute is he with his daddy at Disney riding the rides.  

I just love his little face.  I didn't want to do all Disney themes papers so I went with Bella Blvd's To The Moon collection that I bought over at Paper Issues.  Grab it for 20% off using code: Mary-Ann.

The base paper is from Vicki Boutin and is already pre-colored for me. 

It was another Live FB video if you want to watch!

Easter - Paper Issues

 So I had another FB LIVE just the past Monday night.  

You can go HERE if you are interested in watching it on replay.  

I used American Crafts Buenos Dias and a FREE cut file - Easter Chicks.

FUN - Paper Issues

 

You guys, I have no idea why they want me to do LIVE FB videos.  

But they keep me on!  Paper Issues is crazy.

If you to have a fun time, go HERE to watch it. 

Happy Place - Paper Issues

 Hey friends. 

I did another FB LIVE over at Paper Issues on their PIFF page. 

It is kinda fun.  This time, I went with the flow.  Asked the crowd for suggestions.  

What I had in my mind before I started was not at all how the layout turned out.

I used Cocoa Vanilla Daydream.

With Covid, we really stuck to the house.  When things started opening, we still kept close to home.  At the end of June, we finally decided to venture out.  We hit Plum Island.   Thank Goodness hardly anyone was there.  It was a gorgeous night.  The sunset was spectacular and I really was excited to scrap this photo of my boys.  

Family Game Night - Paper Issues

Morning!

During this time of crisis, my family has been doing a lot of game playing, cooking (which I hate) and watching series.  

The other night, I bought SkipBo from Target and we have been playing tons.  Merle, our baby franchise, decided he needed to be held because he does not realize he is a dog.  So up he came, to my sons lap.  He played the game with us.  So, I had to document the event with Carta Bella - Family Game Night.  

I actually created this layout on a LIVE FB video in front of a crowd.  I let them select some of the options that I used on the layout.  The collection is a cross between Brady Bunch and the Jetsons.

I used the TV guide page to separate my photos and clumps of embellishments in to the 3 different corners.  Kinda like vignettes.  This collection is available in the Paper Issues Store if you go HERE.  

Let's take a look at the details of the layout.

Rock the World - Paper Issues

I did another LIVE scrapbooking video over at Paper Issues.  

I thought that I would gather random items that coordinate instead of a collection that already matched.  It was really a lot of fun.  I don't think I have done that in a really long time.  I also used a plate to cut a big circle!

I did use some Amy Tangerine, Shimelle and Bella Blvd.

This photo of my boy getting his training wheels off his bike.  I swear, he would still have them on to this day if we let him.  He is not one to be off his own feet.  As a matter of fact, the last time he was on a bike, he fell off and broke his wrist.  It has been a couple years since he has even attempted to get on one.  Wonder how he is going to teach his own kids??  

Head over to Paper Issues Friends and Fan Facebook page to get notified when there are LIVE scrapping videos coming up, what challenges they have and loads of inspiration too.
In my video, you seriously enter my head.  I tell you everything I am thinking. How I use the dinosaur as the Loch Ness monster.  The circle of fish as the ocean.  Bugs and spiders cause they hang out near water.  So, in the end, I'm not sure if its the ocean or a lake but who cares!  It is all perfect!

Luv Bug - Paper Issues!

Last Monday, I did a live scrapbooking video with all my pals over on the Paper Issues Friends and fans page.  Click on that to join and watch me make a fool of myself every month.  

Anywho - I created this Luv Bug layout in about an hour.

I used Pink Paisley Lucky Us that I grabbed in the Paper Issues store.  The challenge I played along with was called Split Personality.  

Here is my new favorite gal, Freya.  She is just a couple months old here.  We sat other grammy's table, hanging out and talking trash.  She may have dropped a little bit.  She is seriously so dang happy.  I can't help but love her to death.
