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!

Fiesta Time - Paper Issues

Morning taco loving friends.

I recently did a live video one on the Paper Issues Friends and Fans page with a Free Cut File and Distress Oxide Inks.  Thats about it.  I only added a couple embellishments to the side after I was done.  You gotta see how it came out.  I LOVE IT!

Watch the video here:

My dad and boy made a bet on eating the big Grande Taco at Margaritas.  They both succeeded.  I think Romans was less full because he took a lot of the yucky stuff off when he ordered.  Smart boy.  

Easter in NC! - Paper Issues

 Way back when my boy was itty bitty, we spent Easter in NC with our favorite people.  

Here, the boys, Logan, Evan and Roman were coloring eggs.   It was fun but messy!

I created this LIVE on the Paper Issues Friends and Fans FB page.  

I forgot to add it everywhere.  I think I meant to add journaling and still have yet to do it.  

I used a FREE cut file from Paper Issues, called Buttercup Background and American Crafts Buenos Dias collection.  

Heres a look.

Good Times - Paper Issues

 Hello again to my friends.  

I just did a Facebook LIVE Monday night and am here to share a link to the video and to share the competed layout.  I used a FREE Cut File from the Paper Issues Store and the Pink Paislee Indigo and Ivy collection that has been sold out for some time.  Sorry. But you may have it in your stash!  

Take a look.  I love the colors. 

Santa Stopped Here! - Paper Issues

 Morning friends,  I know this looks like my post two times ago,  but I swear it isn't the same one!!  For this layout, I used the Kitchen Sink Kit from Paper Issues.  It includes Cocoa Vanilla product, including the tree that I used before.  Ahem, and the woodgrain I used too,  lol

I honestly didn't even realize it until I went to blog this morning.  Oh well.  They will be separated in my albums so I am not worried.  

I just love this photo.  We normally go to the mall every year.  Of course, with covid, this year is completely different.  We did not want Roman to sit with Santa like normal, so our friends came over, one dressed as Santa and we took a photo here on the porch.  We also took family ones, and their family too.  They used their photo for the Christmas card.  I would have but we already ordered ours.  

I digress!  Back to topic, here is my project for today.  4 of us crazy gals created with these kits LIVE on the Paper Issues Friends and Fans group.   Go HERE to rewatch but bring your tissues.  We laugh so hard. The rule is, you have to used everything that is included in the kit.  I painted my little wood stars with Nuvo and the large star with yellow Nuvo.  it looked like mustard so I glittered on top of that.  I still see glitter everywhere.  I hate glitter.  Hate it!

Merry Christmas - Paper Issues

 If you are tired of Christmas layouts and projects don't stop here!  

I've done another FB LIVE video for Paper Issues and used up most of my Cocoa Vanilla Merry & Bright.

Cocoa Vanilla has a precut type of Christmas tree.  I tore that apart and backed it myself.  Creating a tree as my focal point.  You can watch the video HERE.  

Here is a photo of my boy when he was loyal to the New England Patriots.  I think this may have been right before he decided to start liking the Kansas City Chiefs, before they were cool.

From Santa - Paper Issues

 I did another Facebook LIVE on the Paper Issues Friends and Fans page.  

This time, I used Pretty Little Studio Christmas Cheer and a Sketch from the Advent of Sketches Album. Which is Paper Issues version of an advent calendar.  Instead of getting a gift or chocolate, you get a new sketch everyday.  I love a good sketch.  I used the sketch from Day 6.  I'll add it below.   Shop Paper Issue for 20% off with code: Mary-Ann

This photo is from the day after Christmas 2014.  He really really loved Baseball hats, Call of Duty and Transformers.  All represented in this photo!  

Awesome Day - Paper Issues

 Hey there friends!

I have been so busy mending from my 3rd knee replacement and tons of other family stuff that I have hardly had time to scrap.  BUT, I did scrap this fun layout last week on a FB LIVE over in the Paper Issues Friends and Fans page.  I used Cocoa Vanilla and I want to use every single bit of it.  

It's a photo of my boy hanging out with the mall Santa.  

We 'make' him go every year as long as he lives in our house.  He gets so embarrassed in line with all the young kids.  Oh well, move out!  ha.  You can tell how much he hates it from his facial expression and the fact that he put his arm around the red man.  

Here's what I came up with.  I used a FREE cut file called Snowglobe from the PI store.  ALL Cut Files are free.  Pinkfresh gems were used as ornaments on my trees and some Nuvo for roof accent and puffy beard. 

Sleeping In - Paper Issues

 Hey there friends. 

I did two LIVE videos for Paper Issues over the weekend and I bet some of you are just plum tired of me! If you are, don't say anything.  lol.  For this layout, I used PinkFresh Studios Let's Stay Home.  I LOVED LOVED LOVED every single sheet of paper in this collection.  I was really happy with the color combo I ended up using here too.  

Of course with it being Covid time, we weren't really going places.  This photo is from a couple months ago.  My boy was sleeping in and we decided to jump in bed with him to wake him up.  It didn't work well.   I honestly can't remember if he got right up or not.  I would be that he didn't.  Anyway, I love this pic of us hanging out at home.  Ill adit, staying in PJ's is kinda fun.  

I condensed this LIVE layout down for my YouTube channel.  I'd love if you would stop by, hang out for a bit, subscribe and maybe make a comment or two or 20.

Broom Hair - Paper Issues

 Friends!  

Things have been a little crazy here lately. We were out of town for a few weeks unexpectedly and just returned home.  I finally did a LIVE video over at Paper Issues Friends & Fans page.  It's my first in quite a while.  I called it Broom Hair!  That sentiment has to be the cutest!  While hanging out one day,   I was missing the Paper Issues crop and everyone was sending in selfies.  So, I jumped on board and sent in some Snapchat selfies of myself.  It was super fun.  Then, I saw people scrapping those photos so I decided I would too!  So here are my crazy photos using Crate Paper Hey Pumpkin.  As always, everything you buy from the Paper Issues store is 20% off with code: Mary-Ann.  

I also condensed the LIVE video for my YouTube channel and you can find that here....

Tradition - Paper Issues

 I think I have gone crazy.

I started my very own YOUTUBE channel!

Id love if you subscribed, clicked the like button and what not.  

The process is getting easier and easier every time I do a new video.  

So for this layout, I was FB LIVE over at Paper Issues Friends and Fans Page.  

I then converted it to a video for my channel.  

I scraplifted Ann Tamimi.  Her layout was one of their Scraplift layouts for Sept 6th I think!  

Anyway, check out her Instagram page. I'll share that layout under mine below.

I used Altenew Enjoy the Ride, and Nuvo Drops.
