Sweet Blooms

Hey everyone, did you know that's there's a new Scrapbook kit club in town....and it's Canadian!  That's right!  Papers and Beyond is based out of Calgary AB.  So all you Canadians who have always wanted to join a kit club but were scared of customs fees can finally get a beautiful kit delivered to you every month!

I was given the sweet blooms kit to work with last month.  This kit features the Pink Paislee Auburn Lane and Kaisercraft Fleur collections.  Here's what I came up with:

Thankful:

This was a really simple and quick LO. I cut out a file from JustNick studio in black and backed it with pattern paper. I really like that this kit included a lot of black elements. I always feel like my LO's need a little bit of black.

Here are a few close ups:

Love love love:

Pink is my favorite color to scrapbook with so I absolutely needed the Sweet Blooms kit! I backed a cut file from JustNick studio with some pretty pinks and florals and then stitched around it just to make it pop more. The little wood embellishments were the perfect finishing touch!

Spread your wings:

I can't believe my sweet little girl is already 14 years old. She's just 3 in this photo! I used 2 cut files from Paper Issues to create a wreath and then used a punch to add a few more butterflies. A simple ring of stitching tied it all together.

Beautiful

Hey everyone, Michelle here today with a new LO to share.  I'm kinda funny with my flair buttons, sometimes I feel like my LO's just need that one button to complete it and then sometimes I think it needs 5!  LOL  With this wreath design it was so easy to add 5!  I just love the height and texture they add to my LO's!  I used the Doodlebug Hello collection. 

Let's take a closer look at those buttons, I really could have used any of the ones in my stash!

Aren't these the sweetest?

Thanks for stopping by!

So fabulous

Hey everyone, I'm here today with a new LO to share for Pretty LIttle Studio using the It's Your Birthday collection.  This collection is just so pretty!  When I ordered it, there was this one paper that really called out to me.  Paper 27 had these awesome circles and I knew I had to punch them out and use them somehow on my LO.  I created the background with some gelatos just so my circles would show better. 

One little strip of stitching on each circle finished them perfectly!

I then just added a few little bits and pieces and I was done.

My lovely girl

Hey everyone, I'm here today with a new LO to share using the A Beautiful Day collection.   Grid layouts are such a fun and easy way to do a quick LO.  It's all about layers and adding the perfect embellishments.  I took these photos of my daughter last fall.  I am so very lucky to have such a photogenic child.

Flair buttons, leaves and acrylic pieces!!  All my favorites in one collection!

Sometimes it's all about adding that perfect final touch!  Love these cork pieces!  I'm such an embellishment junkie!!

Thanks for stopping by!

My love

Hey everyone, I'm back today with a new LO to share for Pretty Little Studio using the XOXO collection.  The first thing that usually attracts me to a paper collection is color.  There's just something about lime green that speaks to me.  This lime green with the pinks is just magic!  I decided to just use the one paper to back the cut file so it wouldn't be too busy.  Cut file is from Paige Evans.

Those little hearts were perfect as my flower centers!

I need to add those little tags on all my LO's.  Aren't they the cutest thing?

Thanks for stopping by!

Splish Splash

Hey everyone, Michelle here today with a new LO featuring some fun summer themed flair buttons! This LO came together really fast. I used the Poolside collection from Fancy Pants. This LO was really all about the embellishments. No techniques or overthinking, just having fun with it.

Summer LO's are really the most fun to make aren't they?  Here's a look at those cute flair buttons!

You can find these and so many more summer themed buttons in the store!

Thanks for stopping by!

You're awesome

Hey everyone, I'm here today with a new LO to share using the Ain't Life Grand collection.  I love a good boy collection and this one is perfect.  I love the fun patterns and colors.  Perfect for my teen boy!  I used a cut file from Paige Evans to create this pretty background.  Who says you can't use pink on a boy LO?

I only used one sheet of paper to back the hearts from my cut file.  I absolutely love how this looks.

This collection really does have the perfect little embellishments to finish off my LO!
