Family Layout

Paper pieced layout using "Mostly Sweet" and the trees from "Sugar and Spice" file from Scrapping Bug Designs.  I tried something new by adding some blue on the squirrel eyes.  There is about 144 pieces in this layout!  Despite the large number of pieces, these go together really nicely.  Some close ups of the piecings are below.  The top of two of the mats are embossed, and so is the top of the hidden journaling tag on the right page.

The Hunt

Paper pieced layout using Scrapping Bug Designs "The Hunt".  The carrot was enlarged from the file to create a journaling spot.  The egg was also enlarged and decorations added to create a removeable hidden journaling spot.  The layout was created using papers from the new We R Memory Keepers Baby of Mine line. I love the bright cardstock that came with this line!

This layout will be featured in an April 11, 2012 piecing class at Sugar and Spice Paper Co.

Signs of Spring

March Perfect Pages class for Sugar and Spice Paper company.

Layout using Head of Cabbage from Jillibean Soup as inspiration. 

Peachy Keen paper line layout.  The circle was punched with the newly released Retro Lucky 8 punch.

About a Girl layout with Fiskars punches and a Martha Stewart punched butterfly.  By turning the flowers from the bottom to the upper left, I was able to use some of the pre-printed image papers that I usually veer away from.  I like how the blue flower ended up in each coner.

It's March

I decided to make a layout to welcome spring.  I'm ready for some nice warm springlike days.  These were different colors than I usually use, but I like how the layout turned out.  My first crafting love was sewing, so I like any layout with stitching and buttons.  The papers are all American Crafts Peachy Keen, and the flowers are all punches.  This was my first banner, and I've decided I love them and will be using them again soon!  You can see this layout in person at Sugar and Spice Paper Company in Central Point, Oregon.  Thanks for taking a peek.

Happy Valentine's Day Projects

These are some Valentine's Day projects that I made using patterns from Scrapping Bug Designs.   The top grouping is made from:  Cupid's Cuties,  Love Stinks, Nuts About You, Key to my Heart, and Love Muffin.  The piecings are glued to some little boxes with ribbon handles that I picked up after Christmas on clearance for $.25.  My two year old helped pick out the patterns for each of the staff at her toddler program.  The card was made using  Beary Luvable also from SBD.

SBD DT Challenge Layout

Just a one page layout for a challenge to the DT that Jane of Scrapping Bug Designs DT posted a week ago.  I love how the colors all came together.  Not a traditional back to school layout, but I love how girlie it is!  The paper piecing is from SBD "Sugar and Spice" file.

Tweet Heart

I used the "Winter Tweets" file without the snow gear and the birdhouse from "Winter Blessings" (both from Scrapping Bug Designs) to make a layout with this fun new bird valentine paper and some papers from my stash.  The weather has been so sunny, although cold, that it has me thinking a bit about spring-just like this layout.
