Boys paradise

Hi everyone! Dani Donner here today to share a quick page I made using the new line from Amy Tangerine. I have to say I have a soft spot for colorful graphic papers, so when I first saw the Ready Set Go collection by American Crafts it was love at first sight...

What can I say?!?! I have two boys!!! I NEED cool papers, dude...

Now, this collection goes perfectly with fun filled pictures, like this whole wall full of Legos. Yes, LEGOS! Each and every niche was filled with tons of legos... Simply amazing!

So if you have some bright pictures to scrap you should definitely check this collection out!

Supplies:

Amy Tangerine - Ready Set Go (by American Crafts)

See you next week!

just sayin...

Hello friends! Becky here with you from Scrap Circus. I have a sweet little baby layout to share with you today using Crate Paper's Little Boy Blue line. I absolutley love this line! It comes with many other colors including green, yellow, brown and grey but I decided to focus on the blue and red for this layout.
 I printed my journaling out on the computer using my favorite font called Vintage Typewriter. I cut up the journaling into strips and attached them to my page.
 I love to cluster groups of different embellishments. It adds great texture and dimension to the layout.

Full of Wonder

Hi everyone! Dani here to share with you my latest page. This time I wanted to go bold and bright, and play with some layers.

Even though I have two boys, I keep gravitating to funky pinks and oranges. The result? Lot's of Pink Boys Layouts, lol.

I am not afraid of using pink for my boys, specially if I'm going for bright and bold. You can use pink and flowers and still end up with a non girlish page.

It is just a matter of choosing what will be the spotlight on your page and work around it. A little bit of Cameo work, and you have a quick and funky page.


Supplies list:

American Crafts - Shoreline
October Afternoon - Woodland Park

Thanks - quick card

Hi, everyone! Dani here to share with you a SUPER DUPER quick card I made. There are some products that are created to make your life easier, the sticker sheets are one of them! I had to create a thank you card and had just a few minutes to do, so... What do you do when you start to panic? Breath inside a paper bag? Hummm, that's a good advice... But in my case I turn to my cute Simple Stories stickers! So, with o further ado, here is the card:

I mixed a lot of different lines here, but they worked very well together. And you will understand why I love the Simple Stories stickers so much with that detail shot:

They are "pop up ready"! Yes, same flowers in the sheet, perfect for layering... Score!!!

Supplies list:

Fancy Pants - Country Boutique
Simple Stories - Summer Fresh
American Crafts - Shoreline Blue Alpha stickers
Queen & Co. - Twinkle Goosebumps

Thanks for stopping by!

Great Wolf

Hi, everyone! Dani here to share with you my greatest passion at the moment: mists and anything ink/paint/watercolor related! I have to say that this more artsy trend in scrapbooking got a hold of my heart... *sigh* I just love the look and the texture added to all those techniques, so... I created a LO using ALL-OF-THEM! :D

For Mothers day this year we got to take the whole family to Great Wolf in Niagara Falls! We had so much and the weather helped! A warm day in May allowed us take a picture outside! In T-shirts, people!! The boys want to go back for their birthdays, lol!

Anyway, here is the page:



I have misted and added a thin layer of white paint to mute the colour a little bit. For teh title, I used my water colors on some American Crafts fabric thickers, creating an Ombré effect (cool, huh!).

Some detail shots:



Supply list:

Bazzil - Salted Dotted Swiss in White
Studio Calico - Mister Huey's in Boss Lady
October Aternoon - Cakewalk buttons and Paper
