Sketch time

Paper Issues has so many challenges every month.  One of my favorite challenges is the sketch challenge.  Look at the great one we have this month!

I decided to flip it.  I had so much fun making this LO.  I love this photo of my son when he was little.  Look at that little face!!  I used the Crate Paper Cool Kid collection.  I love adding a lot of bits and pieces to my LO's!

The Paper Issues store has just been filled with so many new collections!  Check it out and get 20% off your whole order with the code michelle.

February Notable Quotable

Hey everyone!  Today I'm sharing a recent LO I created for Paper Issues.

This one was created for one of our new challenges (hosted by me) called Notable Quotable.  It's really easy to play along.  You just need to create a project using this quote as inspiration.

Here is what I came up with. I was inspired by the quote, the colors and the arrow!  I used a mixture of Amy Tangerine products on this LO.  Cut file is from the Silhouette store.

Make sure to join our FB group (Paper Issues Friends and Fans) to see and play along with all our monthly challenges. 

Also you may want to ckeck out the Paper Issues store.  SO much has been added in the last few weeks including a huge selection of free cut files!

My fave

Hey everyone, Paper Issues has their first Issue of 2017 posted today.  It's called Stash Busters.  Here are some suggested ideas:

• It's a new year, so make a dent in your stash! What are you hoarding? Is it an old collection? Is there a paper you think is too pretty to cut into? Do you have embellishments you haven't even opened? Get to work creating a project that includes something you haven't used yet or finishes off a collection by using up the scraps.

• Show us anything about your New Year's celebrations.

• Scrap a photo of yourself.

I decided to use some Bella Blvd Addison that I was hoarding. I was also hoarding these fun photos of my daughter at Halloween!

You can see what the other team members created on the Paper Issues blog!

My top 16 of 2016!

Here we are again.  Another year has already gone by.  I always look forward to posting my favorite LO's of the year.  It's hard to choose because some of my favorite may not be because of the way they look but for the memory of the photos.  Time is so precious, I'm so happy that I decided to start scrapbooking 10 years ago.  These memories are all so important, even just the simple everyday things.  I hope my kids and future grandkids will enjoy looking at my albums one day.

So here they are, my favorite LO's of 2016!

Thanks for stopping by!

Here are a couple LO's I did with Simple Stories Hello Fall.

I had a great time taking fall photos of my daughter this year.  She is always such a good sport!

This photo is from a few years back but still one of my favorites!

Here is a LO I did using a variety of the new Bella Blvd collections.  I just love the colors in these!

Make sure to check out the Paper Issues store often because things tend to sell out fast!

Oh so cold!

Hey everyone!  It's new issue day at Paper Issues!  It's called Going Cold Turkey in Snow-vember! 

Here are some suggested ideas: Thanksgiving, family time, winter, use snowflakes or snow photos, create a white on white layout, use the new Snow and Cocoa collection (or any fall/winter collection available in the store), men's facial hair (celebrating Movember)

I decided to go with a snow team using the Snow and Cocoa collection. I also used a free cut file from the store to create my background.

You can see what the team created on the blog!
