I stamped!

I love stamps but always struggle using them. I recently got this Jenni Bowlin stamp that I love but had to push myself to use. I combined it with some misting and made this layout for the Studio Calico sketch challenge this week:

I just love how it turned out! I am definitely going to need to do this more often!

I also made this layout the other day using some Jillibean Dutch Mustard:

This is one of my all time favorite layouts...love these pics and love this Jillibean!

KP's Sketchbook class Day 2

I actually wasn't sure I was going to use this sketch...it felt out of my comfort zone when I first saw it. But I happened to have these pics on my desk and when I saw them it all just fell into place.

And I MISTED!!! You can hardly tell but trust me it is there! Once again I used lots of Jillibean Soup Blossom Soup. I need another sheet of that flower pp...its my fave and I am getting low! 

KP's Sketchbook Class Day 1

Two blog post in one day...what has come over me???  LOL, hopefully it will keep coming over me because I have a lot of pages to share.
Just one for now though. I joined Kelly Purkey's Sketchbook 3 class this week and wanted to share my take on the first sketch...I am having a lot of fun with this class so far!

Here is my layout...

I just love the way it came out! I used my new "Handwritten" Slice cartridge for the title...so glad I finally broke down and bought this one...I love it! I also used the Studio Calico wood veneer hearts...love, love, love! And those little tiny Lilly Bee letter stickers...I am going to need more of those!

Love the way this turned out!

Amazing...

Its how I feel about her:

And this new Blossom Soup line from Jillibean Soup! I finally got a chance to sit down and play with my new stuff! All of their new lines are awesome as usual but this one is my fave, especially for girly pages. Hoping I get another chance to play this afternoon:)

Need to catch up...

phew...these past few weeks just got away from me.  I'm still keeping up with POTD but I need to get them all printed and put into my Project Life album. Instead of sharing those photos right now I think I will share my latest layout:

I have been ordering a bunch of new stuff from A Million Little Things...so excited to play with my new goodies. This is new MME and Pebbles, Sassafrass and American Crafts. I am in love with this My Minds Eye pattern paper. We actually just took our second trip to the American Girl Store over February vacation so I figured I should get scrapping this first visit:)

Since I am talking about the American Girl Store I'll share a picture from when we went a couple weeks ago. She brought Julie with her and this is right after she got Julie's hair done at the salon:

So much fun!

A few more layouts

Still working on that pile of photos on my desk...

This one is my fave I think:

I think I went a little heavy on the mist on this one...need to keep practicing this technique:

And this one...

I think I only have a couple more layouts to make before I am done with that pile of photos...that feels good! Those photos have been there for several months! Glad to get them in my albums!
