Do you ever plan a LO and it goes in a whole different direction?  I had planned on using photos of my kids for this LO but somehow my cats ended up on it!  lol  They're pretty good sports for letting me take photos of them!  lol

I cut out the file using vellum but then it was kinda getting lost on my light background so I cut it again in while and added the vellum on top.  Here's a close up:

Life is beautiful

Hey everyone, Michelle here today with a new LO.  I'm not quite ready to let go of fall yet.  It's still November right?  lol   My daughter is such a good sport in letting me take so many photos of her.  I thought this photo turned out cute.  Most LO's I make are pretty busy.  Simple is not usually my style but for some reason this LO ended up being really simple (and I had it done in about 20 minutes!).  I felt like it just needed one flair on it to finish it off!

I could seriously scrap fall photos all year round! 

Cut file is from Paper Issues!

Merry Merry Christmas

Hey everyone, I'm back today with a new LO for JustNick.  My friends and family know how much I love Christmas.  I love all of it, the family reunions, the gifting, the decorating, baking...it all makes me so happy!  Every year I try to take some fun photos and when I saw this red hat for my daughter I knew it would be perfect for a photo shoot.

I used the Merry Wishes cut file. I backed the word merry with some pattern paper and the LO was almost complete!

Make sure to come back and check the blog later this week.  We have something fun coming!

Thanks for stopping by! 

VW love

Hey everyone, I'm back today with a new LO for A Flair For Buttons.  I had so much fun making this LO.  The Summer Days collection from Simple Stories was perfect for this photo I snapped last summer.  And of course the perfect finishing touch to all my LO's is always flair buttons!  Cut file is from JustNick.

Red flairs are my favorite.  This one was perfect for my LO!

Thanks for stopping by!

Sweet on Fall

Hey there, I'm back today with a new LO for JustNick.  This week were putting the focus on "leaves".  Fall is my favorite season to take photos and I just recently had a great photo shoot with my daughter so I was super excited to do this LO!

I cut out a bunch of leaves from the "Leaves 2" and the "Sweater Weather" files and arranged them to form a wreath.  I used the Hello Fall collection from Carta Bella and flair from A Flair For Buttons.  I really like how it turned out!

Here's a close up of the leaves:

These are just a few of the beautiful fall cut files in the store.  Check it out, you're sure to find something you need! 

Dream big

Hey everyone, Michelle here today with a new LO.  This LO was an adventure to make.  If you check my instagram you will see a video I posted or my cat trying to steal my flair buttons while I was making this LO!  lol

I used the Crate Paper Cute Girl collection.

Look how little she was!  I can't believe it has been 10 years since I took that photo.  Time goes by way too fast.

I think this camera flair is one of my all time favorites from the shop.  It's just so cute!

Thanks for stopping by!

Little Spook

Hey everyone, Michelle here today with a new Halloween LO!  I Love Halloween!  It's just so much fun.  My kids have always been good sports about getting dressed up and letting me do their makeup and take a million photos!  lol  

On this LO I used the Spiderweb 2 file.  Paper and embellishments is a mix from my stash.

Isn't he the cutest vampire ever?

Here is a close up of the cut file.  I stitched it with white thread and let the ends hang loose to create a web effect.

Thanks for stopping by!

Mermaid at heart

Hey everyone, Michelle here today with a new LO.  Now I know what you're thinking, is this girl still scrapbooking summer photos?  Yes, yes I am!  I am not even close to being ready to let summer go yet!  It's been such a beautiful September here in NB Canada I can't even think of fall yet!  This photo is actually from a few years ago.  My daughter loves the water and the beach so much.  I've always called her a mermaid.

I used the Pink Paislee Summer Lights collection, free cut file from Paper Issues, and flair from the shop.

Thanks for stopping by!

Adventure today

Hey everyone, Michelle Gallant here today with a new LO.  I wanted to get a little creative for background week so I decided to use 2 different backgrounds on my LO!  The first one I used was the Bamboo background.  I placed it sideways on my LO and backed it with red paper to create a brick affect like on my photos.  I then added the Beautiful Bouquet cut file to add some femininity to my LO.

Make sure to follow us on Instagram and Facebook.  New files are added to the store weekly! 

Love you

Hey everyone, I'm back today with a new LO to share with you.  It's funny how you can sometimes start a LO with a plan and end up going completely off course.  This was suppose to be a boy LO and it ended up being the most girly LO ever!  LOL   

I used the Radiate cut file, the new Carousel collection from Maggie Holmes and flair from A Flair for Buttons.

I am so lucky to have such a photogenic daughter.  (I stole this photo from her phone)  Hehehe

Here is a close up of the cut file

Autumn Adventure

Hey everyone i'm back today with a new fall LO to share.  Fall is my favorite time of year for many reasons.  One of those reasons is the beautiful colors and photo opportunities!  I got this photo of my daughter last year during a fun little photo shoot we did.  It's one of my favorite photos!  

For my LO I used the and cut files.  After I backed them up with pattern paper I wasn't really sure how I was going to use them on my LO so I just kinda threw them on and liked where they landed!  lol

This was a really fun and easy LO to make.  Here's a close up at the cut files:

Make sure to follow JustNick on Instagram and Facebook so you can see the new files that come out weekly!

Summer Sun

Hey everyone, I'm back today with a new LO!  As summer is coming to an end, it almost makes me sad to share this summer LO.  How does it go by so fast?  I had a lot of fun with this LO.  Pretty papers, cut files, gelatos and my favorite thing...flair buttons!

I often use flair buttons as flower centers.   They're just so perfect there!

Thanks for stopping by!

Boy smile

Hey everyone, I'm back today with a new LO.  I know all you mom's with boys will understand me when I say how happy I am when I can get my son to give a real smile to the camera.  Especially when they approach the teen years right?  

Let's talk about cut files and how simple they can be to use.  All I did for this LO is cut out my file and backed it with one piece of pattern paper.  That's it!  It doesn't always have to be time consuming and the effect is beautiful!

See how easy that looks?  Here's a closer look.

I dare you to try this technique.  It's so simple, you won't regret it!

Supplies used: Little black dots background

Emoji Love

Hey everyone, I'm back today sharing a fun new LO for A Flair For Buttons.  Anyone who has a teenage girl understand the love of emojis right?  My daughter loves them.  She has clothing, pillows, pj's...all kinds of emoji things.  These emoji flair buttons were a must have for me!!

These come in a mixed pack of 8 and they are only $6.00!  You know you want them!  You can find them here!

Thanks for stopping by!

Keepin it Reel

Hey everyone, I'm back today with a new LO to share with you.  I have to admit these photos of my daughter are some of my favorites!  This kid is just so full of life, she absolutely loves trying new things.  She's only about 6 years old on those photos and it was her first time fishing. The look on her face is priceless!

The cut file I used is the Lotus Ring and it is absolutely gorgeous!  Here are a few close ups!

I love summer because of all the outdoor activities and photo opportunities!  This Cabin Fever collection went perfectly with my new camping themed flair buttons!

Right Round

Hey everyone, I'm back today with a new LO for JustNick.   I used the brand new Reflex cut file and I went totally out of my comfort zone and used black cardstock!  Gasp!  I always use white! LOL  When I saw this cut file I was immediately inspired.  To me it looked like sound waves.  I had these fun photos of my daughter playing DJ hero on the wii.  It was perfect with this cut file!

The cut file is so fabulous I hardly needed to do anything else to my LO.  I just added a few embellishment and I was done!  Here's a closer look!

Our home and native land

Hey everyone, somehow my July 1st blog post disappeared on me!  Well here it is again.  I had so much fun creating this LO for A Flair For Buttons.  I love how something as simple as one button can inspire a whole LO!

I loved these Canadian flair buttons and I knew I wanted to do a Canada Day LO with this photo from last summer.  I used Pink Paislee Sweet Freedom.  I love how it turned out!

Have you checked out the AFFB store lately?  It truly has everything.  I can't even think of a theme they don't have!

Happy shopping!

Happy

Hey everyone, I'm so happy to share my first DT LO for JustNick!  I am so very happy to have been chosen to be a part of this team filled with such talented ladies!  As I was looking through the store to figure out what file I wanted to use for my first project, I was actually thinking of doing a boy LO but as soon as I saw the Delicate Butterflies my whole planned changed!  I knew I had to use it! 

I'm not normally a butterfly and flowers type person but something about this cut file just called out to me.  I knew I had that photo of my daughter holding the butterfly and it was just perfect for this file.

Here's a close up so you can see how delicate and pretty this file is!

Thanks for stopping by!

Supplies use: Delicate Butterflies cut file

Sun & Fun

Hey everyone!  I'm back today with a new summer inspired LO!  My favorite thing about summer (other than the weather), is all the photo opportunities!  We are always out doing something fun and of course I always have my camera handy just in case!

This photo was just a quick snapshot of my daughter enjoying the water on the first hot summer day last year.  She is always up for anything!

I actually picked out the flair I wanted to use before I picked out anything else for this LO so the whole LO is based on those.  Then I added some gelatos, a free cut file from Paper Issues and some new Echo Park.  The whole LO came together very fast!

Thanks for stopping by!

Better together

Hey everyone, it's new issue day at Paper Issues.  This month it's called Mom-o-grams.  Some suggested ideas are: create an altered paper project, use letters in a fun way, add a monogram, anything about Mother’s Day or grandmothers.


I used some letters to create the BFF background.  I just cut them out on my cardstock and backed it with a colorful pattern paper!  I used the Bella Blvd/Illustrated Faith You Are Loved collection.

You can see more ideas for this issue on the Paper Issues blog and in the Friends and Fans Facebook group!

Little boy don't ever grow up

Hey everyone, we have a new Notable Quotable challenge at Paper Issues today!  This one is super fun!!!  

I was inspired by the quote, the colors and the paint splatters!  I used a variety of products on this LO including the new Bella Blvd in the store!  This is one of my favorite photos of my son.  I cant believe he is already 15 years old.  

You can play along with the challenge on our FB group Paper Issues Friends and Fans.
