Hope you are enjoying the holiday weekend! I have some design work to share today with the newest Paper Posies June kit. This kit really says summer! Here's a peek.

My first layout I used the Simple Stories 100 Days of Summer papers

I wanted to create a layout with layered circles to create interest so I Googled circle photo scrapbook sketches and found a great one I used one from Scrapbooks Etc to create this layout.


For this card I used my newest favorite Cricut Cart, Elegant Edges to cut the shape of the card with My Mind's Eye Go Fly a Kit paper and them embellished with the 100 Days of Summer stickers. I really like the way it turned out!



This is a fun layout I did about decorating Lily's room. We've been slowly turning her room from a nursery to a little girls room. She loves Dora and purple so it's been fun collecting little things here and there to accent.



And finally here is this month's project, a Maya Road Mini. I inked the front of the album, added some bling with my i-rock tool. I used Glossy Accents to add dimension to the cover.

Have a great holiday weekend!

The day the music died...

Hello friends. I hope you are having a fantastic day so far. I've been super busy working on projects and taking care of the little one and my Lily. These girls keep me pretty busy Monday-Thursday.
You may have noticed the title of my blog post. Yes it's true the music has died on my blog. After much consideration I have decided to remove the music mainly because I can't control the volume and frankly sometimes it's so loud it scares people away. Now I don't want to chase anyone off that's for sure so I added it to the dashboard at the top for those that like my play list so you can click there to listen. I know I like to find great playlists on other blogs I like to scrap to.
So there you have it...

Now how about a look at Paper Posies June kit!!

I'll be showing off my creations here soon but if you just can't wait to see...head over here to design team gallery and have a look!

I paired my card with the Berrylicious collection from Imaginisce. I also used Martha Stewart's Iridescent glitter to help add some dimension to the image. Unlike regular glitter, you can still see your image when you use iridescent glitter! Love that.
