share it sunday {2/12}

I've really been diving into the newest Studio Calico kit. The colors and patterns are so me. I love soft, girly things. ha! So, it was no doubt that I would be in love with this kit. I really can't wait to play even more with it! 

I've been using Instagram pictures often lately because I love them! And, they're helping me get used to using my PSP program. I've had that for like two or three years and am just now getting around to learning how to use it! 

Anywho, here's the first layout I made with this kit... 

You can see more details here.

The picture is of one of my new favorite sweaters. My grandmother got it for me for Christmas and I'm obsessed with it. It's got such a great floral pattern in these really pretty colors! So glad to have scrapped a picture of it. It's great to get the little things documented, too! 

Have a great Sunday!

dreamy birthday.

My fabulous cousin's birthday is tomorrow and I was on a mission to make her a pretty card! Which wasn't too hard once I got the Studio Calico Daydream Believer kit in my hands! It was filled with delicious products, especially some new Dear Lizzy items! Which is what I used to make this card...

That Dear Lizzy party paper was perfect for a birthday card! I love the confetti feel of it. And, I was excited to be able to utilize it on a birthday card! 

 

Thanks for looking!

member inspiration swap challenge.

Hello friends! A few weeks ago I was asked to participate in a "Member Inspiration Swap" challenge over at Studio Calico. I can't tell you how excited I was to be asked! It was so awesome playing along. And, it helped that I was lifting such a fabulous member over there, Tara LeClaire! She has such a rockin' gallery it was so hard to choose what to use for inspiration. So, I decided to make two layouts! 

Here they are...

Both of these use items from the January kit, County Fair. Tara was a fabulous source of inspiration. And, I loved playing along! 

You can find a link to the blog post here to check out what Tara made!

Thanks for looking!

the beginnings of Valentines.

Here I go! I've begun work on Valentine's projects and cards. I have numerous cards that need to get done, not just for Valentine's Day, but also for multiple birthdays. So, here's the first of most likely many!

This was a super simple one, but I love the bold title! I think it added a nice pop! 

 

Thanks for looking! Enjoy your weekend!

be unique.

I've been digging square photos (mostly 3x3). They are so fun to use! And, great for printing off Instagram photos. I recently started trying to figure out how to use my PSP program and that's what I've been using to print the 3x3s. 

I had this Instagram photo that I wanted to use on a page to remind me to be myself. So, I decided to print it off 3x3. Here's the page...

Unfortunately, the sun wasn't up when I photographed this so that's why the quality is bad. But, I wanted to get this up on the blog! :) 

 

I think it's a good reminder for me. I need to stop worrying about what everyone else views me as and thinks of me and just start being true to who I am. 

 

I hope you have a lovely night!

P.S. I'm thinking about making this a monthly post on the blog. What do you think?

100% crazy.

My brother and my cousin are two crazy boys and when they get together... it's 100% craziness. ha! But, we love them. :) 

I decided to document this crazy picture of them from over Thanksgiving and I knew that the wood background base would be perfect for a masculine page! Really happy with how this came together!

Anyways, I had a lot of fun grouping things together and doing some mist splatters. And, I'm not typically one to scrap using masculine products, but this was fun to create! 

 

Thanks for looking!

studio calico CHA-ganza layouts.

I've been playing along with the Studio Calico CHA-ganza challenges. I managed to combine all ten challenges into three layouts. Which was good because I didn't have much time this weekend and I know I won't have any time this week to work on them. So, I definitely wanted to get done in the time I had. :) 

Here's my three layouts... 

 studio calico lunch tray mist | fiskars star punch | ms circle punch

 studio calico dewey mist | ms royal butterfly punch | ac .03 precision pen

studio calico cameo mist | jbs brown sugar ink | studio calico doily stamps | studio calico number border stamp | ms royal butterfly punch | ek success large circle border punch | ms circle punch | fiskars star punch | ac .03 precision pen

 

I used bits from Lawn Party & Field Guide for each of these. And, then miscellaneous things from my stash (inks, stamps, mists, and punches).

Thanks for looking!

berry sweet.

Hey y'all! One quick layout share today. I haven't blogged in a week and I wanted to get something up because I'm trying to keep up with my "blog more" goal! 

So, just a layout today! :)

This was a super simple layout, but I love all of the white space! Glad to have this memory with my cousins documented, too. 

That's all for today! Have a great night!
