Leprechaun Trap - Paper Issues

 Today we are hopping around over on the Paper Issues Instagram account.  You start at one IG page mine is HERE and keep going until you see almost the entire team, creating with all things rainbow.  It is a good one.  For my layout,  I used older photos of us trying to catch the leprechaun.  

Products:  Vicki Boutin Mixed Media Paper, Pink Fresh jewels, a punch, lots of alphas from Elle's Studio and Simple Stories.  All from Paper Issues Store.  You can get 20% off with code: Mary-Ann

Passionately Curious - Paper Issues

Since last nights video was a debacle, I decided to do another FB Live today to 

make up for the one last night. 

I used the same Scralift Layout, the Same Paper Collection but better wifi connection.  

Today, I turned the sketch on its side.  See below.  

Again, I let the Vicki Boutin Mixed Media Pad do all the work.  Plus lifting MandaJane's ayout makes it easy too.

Cheese - Paper Issues

You guys - I have created 2 layouts!!!  

TWO!  I'm so exited.  I created this based on another Scraplift Challenge over at Paper Issues PIFF page.  It is based off of a layout by my pal Devra Hunt.  Instead of using strips of papers layered at the bottom of her page, I used different banners.  That is the best thing about scrap lifts, you can be inspired by any part of it and take it from there!  

I used Vicki Boutin's Kaleidoscope collection that is bright with color!

Grab it or her new collection from Paper Issues Store for 20% off with code: Mary-Ann.

Beach Bums - Paper Issues

Morning Friends.  

For todays project, I played with the Swanky Swatch challenge on the PI Friends and Fans page.

I used Vicki Boutin's Kaleidoscope.

A FREE cut file from the PI Store - Rainy Days Umbrella.

Good Photo - Paper Issues

Morning friends. 

My project today is based off of an Ad that we found as inspiration for a layout or project.  Hence the name, Ad-spiration!  You can be literal with your take of the ad or you can take something from it that inspires you to create.  

Here it is....

I love the pattern in the umbrella, so I chose a small pattern to use on my layout.  The ad is outside, so I added butterflies and clouds, 'outside!'  I was also drawn to the colors.  So, I used lots of various blues.  You see, you do not have to be literal.  Whatever inspires you is fair game.  So play along with us over on our PIFF FB page for a chance to win a prize each month.  

I used the March Kit - Greener Pastures as the main focus of my project.  Most of the items were from Vicki Boutin's Kaleidoscope collection.  Go check it out in the store and use code:
