Forever Chums - Paper Issues

WARNING:  CUTENESS OVERLOAD!  

If you are not a pet lover, leave now!!!

I warned you!  

Over at Paper Issues today, they have put together a mood board from Pinterest and have created a challenge.  It is called Pinspire Me Monday.  The colors inspired me, so that is the direction I went.  I used Bella Blvd "Riley" and "Rover." Both are available in the Paper Issues store!

Remember, if you are heading over to the Paper Issues store, used 

code: Mary-Ann for 20% off your entire order.

Don't forget to check out other designers takes on the challenge HERE.  

You can add your rendition on the  bottom of that post for a chance to win a great prize!

FL Vacation - A Flair for Buttons

Good morning.  For this layout, I searched through our older Disney trip photos to document this mini Indiana Jones, capturing a really large snake!  To capture the entire feel for the moment you needed to see all the photos.  They tell the complete story of his excitement.  If only, when you open to this page in my album, I could have recorded his roar for even more effect.  Maybe it wasn't quite a roar, but that snake knew he was in trouble.

Please head over to the A Flair for Buttons blog to see closeups and the flair that I used.

While I Sleep - Paper Issues

Remember me telling you about the Swag bags over at Paper Issues.  It is a little bag of goodness.  Bits and pieces of random items all coordinating with each other!  They are so much fun and attempt to use as much stuff as possible on my Swag Bag layouts.  If you can't tell!

Go HERE to check out the current Swag Bag. 

Go HERE to check out todays  blog post that highlights Swags Bags.  

Lets take a look at my layout. 

Nothing could be truer than the fact:  when my husband drives, I sleep.  Every time I am a passenger, I can't help it!  He says that my son and I are worthless A drivers.  

Be sure to head over to the PI Blog to see what others have created with all this goodness.

Coulter Family Fun! - Paper Camellia

Each month, Paper Camellia provides a sketch as a jumping off point for inspiration.  I love sketches and this is my take on this months sketch.  Boy, this pictures is pretty old.  Look how little my boy its!

Here a look at the sketch.  I just reversed it.  

I also painted the weed veneer blue to help being more blue into my layout.

I also created this cute card based on the sketch too.  

Thank you taking a look!
