BEACH - Fancy Pants

Mornin!  We recently went to the Revere Beach to see the sand sculptures.  We are always impressed by the detail and skill that does into these creations.  We have never been there when they are assembling them, only after the fact on the weekend.  It is loads of fun and we all really enjoy it.  Much like a mini carnival.  For this Fancy Pants blog post, I decided to use some of these sand sculpture photos.  I would love for you to head over to the Fancy Pants blog to see the entire layout and the details of my post.

Thank you stopping in today.

Teacher Gift - mambi

Need a gift idea for a good friend who teaches or are you feeling generous for your child's teacher?  The Happy Planner™ collection would make a great gift.  It is from me & my BIG ideas, aka mambi! 

I gathered supplies that I wanted to include.  

I did decorate the first month to help encourage planning and creativity.  Please head over to mambi to see the entire layout and even more details about this planner.  

chilling like bob dylan - Weekend Guest

I was so excited to be asked to join Els Brige on her blog with The Weekend Guest series!  She has a different designer every weekend for the entire summer.  We were all asked to create something, anything that inspired us.  I chose to create with Summer Vibes from Simple Stories.  It also happens to be a scrap lift from Tarrah McLean from over at Paper Issues Friends & Fans facebook page.  Sketches and scrap lifting can be so much fun and inspiring.  

For the entire blog post, please head over to Els blog Be Stamped.  Check out my post and many others as we join he in celebrating different scrapbooking styles throughout the summer.  

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.
