Halloween: Basic Grey style

This two page spread was done using a kit created by Basic Grey using their Eerie line. It's so cute and so simple to put together. This kit is going to be offered as a class soon at Southern Scrapbooks. Be sure to stop in the store or check out their calendar online if you're interested in creating.

Simply adorable...

I have the honor of doing design work for my local scrapbook store, Southern Scrapbooks. Peggy is just the sweetest and I love working for her! I love paper crafting and it's always fun to have somebody else that loves it as much as I do and lets me create stuff for them.

The other day I popped in to say hi to Peggy and she had this adorable picture that needed to be put into a layout and displayed in her store. I volunteered to do it for her. The smile on this little guy is so big and bright...I had a lot of fun creating this page for him!

I used nothing but a little cardstock, ink and rub-ons to create the page. Some of the rub-on elements I put on white cardstock and cut out to add dimension. The little birds flying above and some of the circles in the tree below...just gives it a little more interest.

elements:
cardstock: Prism, Marco
rub-ons: Little Yellow Bicycle - baby safari collection
ink: Staz On Cotton White
ribbon: misc scrap
alpha stickers: American Crafts Thickers

Home Sweet Home!

Aren't those little houses, tree and birdhouses adorable? I fell in love with this Nikki Silvis paper the moment I saw it! I love the colors and thought those house couldn't be cuter. The houses are actually the flip side of the green-treed patterned paper. I adhered them to cardstock to give a little more weight and then cut them out so I could add with dimensionals. I love it!

Butterfly Kisses

My great friend, Jenny, let me borrow this gorgeous picture of her daughter so I could create this page. Thank you Jenny! This page is an inspiration/idea page to be displayed at our local scrapbook store. It's highlighting the butterfly spray stamp by Stamps on Fire and ways to use stamping in scrapbooking.

I embossed the stamped image with holographic embossing powder. I cut one out to give some dimension. Then added some 3-D butterflies I created with my punch and added some Stickle sparkle.

cardstock: Core Color, Prism
patterned paper: My Minds Eye - Coastal Comfort Cuddle Dots
stamp: Stamps on Fire - 2026l
