BOSTON - Paper Issues

It is time for the New Issue over on the Paper Issues blog!!  

The team gets a head start with the following prompts.....use a large, dramatic element on your page like a title, embellishment or photo; create a layout about your mom (or someone who's like a mom) and the things she says, the lessons she's taught you, how you're alike or how you're different; use the new PI llama card; create a project about a stage show, your favorite TV drama, a musical, etc.

You can participate too! You may even be featured on the blog. To enter with any of the above creations, go to the Paper Issues Friends and Fans Facebook Page to enter.

I chose a great big "dramatic" title.

For papers, I used Crate Paper Shine that is available in the Paper Issues shop for 20 % off with Code: Mary-Ann. It can be used on your entire order.

Always Observing - Paper Issues

Good morning, its a new day and a new challenge over at Paper Issues.   We have a mood board created from images on Pinterest as inspiration.  The team comes together and creates projects and shares our ideas with you, hoping that you will be inspired.  We call it Pinspiration Challenge.  

You can join in on the fun and be entered to win a gift certificate to the Paper Issues Store.   Here is my layout based on the board.  Below you will see the board itself. 

to be continued.... - A Flair for Buttons

Morning!  With all of the diamonds that are everywhere in the scrapbooking industry, I needed to find a way to use them.  Why not use them on a baseball photo!  I remember using one not too long ago on my "Game Ball" layout too.  It actually was the same day as this.  So, they will match, when they are beside each other when the get put into albums.  If they ever get put into albums, HA!  You should see my pile. 

Back to business!  I am on the A Flair for Buttons blog today.  I used Just Words 3 Flair for this.  I also used the beautiful Shine collection, designed by Maggie Holmes for Crate Paper.  

I hope you will stop over and take a look at my post on the A Flair For Buttons blog.  I think you will love the flair in Shelly's ETSY shop too.  

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.
