Paper Secrets June Challenges

I did 2 challenges for Paper Secrets this month.  I did the sketch and card challenges.  Here are my entries.

The Bremers

Here is a layout I did recently of my friend's kids.  I love the color combo on this one!

Bella Blvd Family Dynamix Line

I was delighted to get to play with the Family Dynamix line in April.  Martha got this line in at Scrapbook Daisies and I just love it!   I love everything Bella Blvd though!

Have you been to her store yet?  It is fantastic!  Check it out if you are in the Long Beach area.

Here is what I made with the line:

Weston when he was about 4.

Close-up of the banner.

Detail added to the card with stickles.

Payton at her 1st birthday party.

Closeups of the center details.

Payton hung out in her stroller at this age at lots of soccer pratices.  This is when she was almost 2.

Payton at her preppyK Easter egg hunt.  We miss her Eastwood class!

These are KaiserKraft wood cuts with stickles added into the spaces of the shapes.  I love how this looks in real life!

Payton when she was about 18 months.  I loved those little rompers!

Handcut heart.  I love the Tiny Attacher!  I think I use it on almost every laout.

So that is it with that line.  Have you used it yet?  Did you love it? 

Scrapbook Daisies April Blog Hop!

Welcome to the next stop on the Scrapbook Daisies April blog hop :)  I am so thrilled to be participating this month.  I hope you get lots of inspiration along the way!

(If you happened to have arrived here first, please consider starting at the beginning of the hop at the Scrapbook Daisies blog (http://scrapbookdaisies.blogspot.com/) so that you don't miss out on any of the fun.)

I got to work with a fantastic line from the brick and mortar store this month, Family Dynamix by Bella Blvd. The papers and embellishments included in my "kit" are absolutely fun and colorful and awesome (like Bella Blvd always is)!

Have you noticed the "scraplift" challenge that the design team took part in this month?  Fun, huh?  I was so thrilled to have the opportunity to "lift" dt member and friend, MICHELLE! When I found out that I got to lift her, I was so excited!  By lifting her I would finish one of the monthly challenges as well.  Besides, who doesn't live Michelle's work?

Here are the two layouts you can lift for the April scraplift challenge in the forum:

And this is my "lift" of Michelle's fantastic layouts...

And 2 closeups:

Do you like lifting?
Here is your chance to lift one of the DT and win a prize!

Jan 2011 Scrapbook DaisiesBlog Hop Featuring Layouts with Echo Park

Welcome to the next stop on the Scrapbook Daisies Blog Hop!!

If you have arrived here first, then please start in the beginning at the Scrapbook Daisies Home blog and do the hop in order...you will be glad you did!.

Scrapbook Daisies has the most amazing kits...full of beauties! Here is the kit that I worked with this month....

Kit # 3 Mini Kit - Little Boy by Echo Park - $19.99

And here are the projects that I created!

This is my littlest boy Wade last Thursday (1/6) running on the playground equipment.  This kid doesn't do anything in slow motion.  The blue and green cardstock are from my stash.

 

Here he is again after he played with the soot in the fireplace.  That was sure a mess to clean up!   The little silver brads and Maya Road shear are from my stash.

 

This is my nephew and my mom.  The blue ribbons are from Walmart I think and the Maya Road star pins are from the Scrapbook Daisies store.  I gave this layout to my sister for her office.

 

Here is my Wade again.  Everything here is from the kit.  Wade loves his scooter!

 

The only thing not from the kit here is the Maya Road shear.  Everything else from the kit.  This is a picture of Wade and myself taken this week.  I got the letters in the circle shape by placing them around a Maya Road shear and then adhering them to the page as I took them off the shear.

This is my last one with the kit.  Wade again!  This is from our trip to San Francisco right after Christmas.   We were on Pier 39 looking at the sea lions.  All Wade wanted to do was run and jump from place to place.  He is such a boy!  I've added a star and shear on this one too.

I hope you have enjoyed looking at what I have created with this kit this month.  It was a lot of fun to work with!


Now on to the technical stuff for the hop . . .
