Perfectly Clear Fall Colors Layout

Hello again friends what a beautiful fall we are having in Nashville, Tennessee this year (minus the drought), which made the Creating Made Easy November Kit all the more fun (as it is usually!) this time. 

I have a fun layout today that is completely clear Fall Colors Acrylic Layout using the November Kit.

If you would like to create this layout, I have step by step instructions. 

• Using patterned paper from the November Kit (Creating Made Easy) punch out several 1" leaves using any fall leaf punch (I used one from my stash or a cutting machine would work as well).
• Peel off the protective film from the Clear Scraps 12X12 acrylic sheet (only the front for now).
• Trim out 12X7" piece of patterned paper as shown in photo. 
• Adhere 12X7" paper to front of acrylic using Beacon adhesives. 
• Trim out 4X6 matte using patterned paper from the kit. 
• Adhere matting to paper as shown, add photo (trimmed to size).
• Take paper punched leaves, adhere them down right had side. 
• Take buttons(from stash or previous kits) and place them as shown amidst paper punched leaves. 
• Add FALL COLORS sticker from the November Kit sticker sheet. 
• Take gold 3/4" ribbon (from stash) and adhere under photo matting. 
• Take "But I think I love Fall Most Of All" sticker and stick to a leftover scrap of patterned paper. 
• Trim around stick leaving a 1/4"  edge. 
• Using pop dots, add sticker on right hand side of photo as shown. 
• Adhere a couple buttons to the left hand side of the ribbon. 
• Using StazOn ink (from stash) or paint would work as well, and edge entire layout. 
• Remove protective film from the back of the layout. 

Such a fun and easy layout when you break it down piece by piece, and I love acrylic layouts in my books, they are so unique and creative.

You could replace any of the stickers or sentiments wither choice from this packed kit!

Not Your Usual Layout Idea!

Hey there friends, I have a layout with my sweet boy Gage.

For this unusual layout I used a Clear Scraps

 XL Shape base which I stenciled the corners with 

Modeling Paste, then spray painted the entire thing GOLD with Krylon.

Not your usual layout style I know, but I love it. 

It's my sweet Gage and his the picture shows the struggle in his eyes. 

Gosh I love this kid. This one was published in SNA in July.

Mini Layout and 80's Style Card

Hey there friends, its officially Tuesday pretty sure I am ready for Friday! ha

I will point out my mistake here...

I have a mini layout to share today, I love making 6X6 mini pages. 

I used the newest Avocado Arts stamp set paired with Clear Scraps Mascils.

I used Modeling paste then glitter, but I waited too long for the glitter, next time

I will do it right away, but I forgot where I put the blue glitter LOL

For the card I was going for a Miami Vice/80's vibe so I used black ink

then a bright embossing powder. 

Just had some fun with it all. :)

Happy Tuesday friends!

Bring On Spring

After doing a photoshoot in nearly 70 degrees yesterday and

reflecting on the ice photos I took, I decided to scrapbook a

page about how I feel about ice in March! hahaha

Honestly the bad weather doesn't bother me 

but it really felt amazing to put on shorts again!

Happy Monday friends :) 

This is a digital page FYI in case you wondered or it wasn't obvious.

~Happy Friday!~

Good morning! I was going through my vacation
photos and playing around and ran across
this one I took in *I think* Fayette-ville, TN
You know these buildings are so beautiful
and I wish they were still running Post Offices,
it's sad to see history slip away.
I guess I have an old soul.

We all know this one right?

this is why MOM holds the camera LOL
I have maybe 50 of these shots...of thisLesson learned, NEVER say
"Honey can you hold the camera for a few minutes?"
I have been scrapping ALL WEEK! I am working
on a couple acrylic projects, a new video
and a few more things...

This is another Helmar/Scrap-tastic Layout...
OMG I am in love with the ZEBRA FUR TRIM!
And the Lush Clear Paper...
BTW Never ask 2 boys to hold up some tulle and clothespins LOL
They practically did a carnival ride with the layout!
Bwhahaha, I was swinging and jumping to get a picture.
This is my friend Adrienne, she is sick
right now. We have known each other a long
time and she just moved to TN!
It's funny how life sends you in directions you never expected.
She came from Florida and I came from Oregon
and we met in the middle.
No plans just happened that way.

OK I am making a video today and tomorrow I hope...any
requests? Anything you want to see?
I want your input before I make one.
Let me know and don't forget about yesterday's GIVEAWAY!

I am baking a giant baseball cake today, so
lets' hope I survive and I will hopefully get pictures up tomorrow!

~Happy Friday my friends~

~My first Imaginisce DT project!~

Finally!! hehehe
I have this awesome box from Imaginisce,
now I finally get to play.
I used the new line Sweet Cherie and the mega awesome i-top brad maker!
Now on to make more with the Polar Expressions paper!
I love love making my own buttons/flair with the brad maker out
of paper! Super fun and so easy to make your own details.
Whatcha think? Not my usual style, but I do love Imaginisce!

~OK off to tend to my kids!~
