Scrapbook Generation June Blog Hop

Welcome to the Scrapbook Generation Blog Hop for June. If this is your first stop, you might like to start at the Scrapbook Generation blog and then hop through each link.

I made this layout for my daughter's 6th birthday that we celebrated this past month. It is no surprise that I bought a dress to match the paper I planned to use. LOL I knew this sketch was perfect the minute I saw it. I could add a bold title and use one of our gorgeous zip strips that are included with each patterned paper we sell.

EMS Sketch #55 Timberline Layout

I LOVE PINTEREST! I don't know how I did without it, and I'd definitely go through serious withdrawals if it went away. 

For my next project, I was inspired by a sketch I found through Pinterest. Cheryl E. created a great sketch complete with dimensions. I am linking it up with her sketch at Even More Scrapping. You will have until the end of the month to play along, too, if you like.

Recipe:
Paper: Timberline, Bamboo CS, Colonial White CS, Goldrush CS (CTMH)
Stamps: Catch U Later, Shining Star (retired) (CTMH)
Inks: Goldrush, Lagoon, Ponderosa Pine (CTMH)
Tools: Paper-Piercer, Micro-Tip Scissors, Sponge (CTMH), Circle Stax Dies (MFT)
Other: Irresistables Dimensional Elements, Timberline Complements, Lagoon Mini-Medley Assortment (retired), Chocolate Brads (retired), Colonial White Brads (retired) (CTMH)

I need to get some pictures printed off so I can add this layout to my son's album. This sketch is intended to make those pictures pop. Isn't that Timberline paper gorgeous?! You can purchase your very own from my Scrappinbliss Website.

Have a happy day!

Silly Boy Layout With Fanfare

About 3 weeks ago, I created a fun layout inspired by a current issue of Creating Keepsakes Magazine. I am a wee bit embarrassed to admit that I misplaced it. LOL

Here it is:

Recipe:

Paper: Fanfare, White Daisy CS, Black CS, Cranberry CS (CTMH); Stamps: Shining Star, Elemental WOTG (CTMH); Inks: Pacifica, Cranberry, Black (CTMH); Tools: Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge, Paper-Piercer, Micro-Tip Scissors, Cranberry Marker (CTMH); Other: Fanfare Brad Assortment, White Daisy Embroidery Floss, Color-Ready Cork Alphabet (CTMH)

Isn't is fabulous? Suddenly, I'm wishing I had more Fanfare paper on hand. It really was one of my favorite kits. Did you notice that the title was created with our cork alpha. letters? I colored them with a (retired) Cranberry marker.

Hope you're having a wonderful weekend. I will be sharing some layouts that I made for a baby album (shower gift) in the coming days. Stay tuned....
