TGIF everyone!  Lisa here with you today.  It seems as if Spring has finally sprung in most places (FINALLY!) and today my challenge for you is a Springtime challenge, perfect for getting a jump start on last weekends Easter photos or any other crafty project. It's guaranteed to put you in a Springtime mood! Think bright colors, blooming plants, warm weather, Spring showers, baby animals ...and maybe even a little Spring cleaning! 

 My challenge for you is to incorporate at least three of the following words in some way shape or form into your project:

For example:  You could use the word Spring in your title, add some flowers to your project and use a green patterned paper on your project.  You can use the form of a word as well i.e. instead of eggs you can use egg or instead of plant you can use plants or planted.  You may use more then 3 of the words if you wish  but make sure and tell us what 3 (or more) words you used on your Spring project!!!!

Here is my example: 

Brenda

I used flowers, eggs, Easter, green, blue, yellow, and bright.

Products used from store:

 Bella Blvd "Daily Chevies" collection
 Lawn Fawn "Hello Sunshine" collection 
Simple Stories "Homespun" alphabet stickers

Joni Parker

I used Green, Plant, Seeds and Clouds.

I used the color blue, hand-stitched clouds onto my background, added some sticker and paper flowers and also used a sticker of a birdcage with birds in it.

Good morning!  I hope everyone is enjoying a beautiful weekend where you are at!  Lisa here today as blog hostess and today I wanted to share a fun layout I created in which I made my own DIY  Project Life cards! Here is the layout I created:


Here I am using my homemade "cards" on a traditional layout but you could always use them in the pocket style protectors as well.  For the top card I added a small doily and topped it off with one of the Elle's Studio Cameron Tidbits layered on a small banner.  Underneath I added my journaling, I couldn't find a paper with a small not so busy print, so I cut up the packaging for the Elle's Studio Everyday Moments Bits & Pieces and made little journaling banners.

Good morning!  I hope everyone is enjoying our fun filled Favorite Things blog hop!  Lisa here today to share with you some more scrappy inspiration using the Elle's Studio Love You More collection pack:

I mounted the No.1 cut out on a piece of pink paper included in the collection and then used another cut out for my "tag" to come out of the envelope, I included journaling inside the envelope by adding a piece of white cardstock under the "I think you are perfect" cut out and journaling my thoughts on it. I used a Studio Calico wood veneer heart to act as a sort of pull tab for my hidden journaling.  This collection is so versatile and the two cut out sheets are perfect embellishments to dress up your layouts in a fun yet inexpensive way!  If you are like me and can't cut a perfectly straight, here is a little tip...ink the edges of all your cut outs and the ink blurs any imperfections in your cutting technique!  Enjoy your weekend and have fun on the Frosted Designs Favorite Things Blog Hop!

This time we have another fun challenge for you hosted by Joni Parker... 

it's a Punctuation or Keyboard Symbol challenge ..

Use a punctuation mark on your card/layout. Can be in the title/sentiment or as an embellishment. 

PERIOD, COMMA and APOSTROPHE do NOT count (sorry, too easy). 

Here are some ideas: Brackets {} or [] , Parenthesis (), Question Mark ?, Hashtag #, Quotation Marks"", Ampersand &, Percent %, Dollar Sign $ etc....

I used Studio Calico Printshop for my layout...I was inspired by the stickers Smile and etc...

then I had my main title Photogenic and etc... (using AMPERSAND as my symbol)  

The large script transparent etc (lower right) was not showing up very well on my layout, so I turned it over and added blue Stickles to the back-side...took a day to dry and I love how it pops color with the contrast of the orange ampersand!!

Supplies Used from the Store:

Everyday Moments Paper Collection Pack

Everyday Moments Wood Veneers

Love You More Paper Collection Pack

Love You More Cut outs

Studio Calico Laser Cut Wood Veneer shapes Heart and Arrows

Hi everyone!  Lisa here to share a layout I made using some of my Elle's Studio goodies from the store!

I was going through a pile of old single photos that I hadn't yet scrapped as I find it extremely tough to scrapbook one photo.  When I stumbled upon this photo of my nephew at 3 years old I just knew I had to scrap it!  Here is my layout using a mix of Elle's Studio goodies available in the store:

One thing I find extremely helpful when doing a one photo layout is to do a large embellishment cluster to add a place filler to your layout (kind of like an extra photo).  The Elle's Studio Bits and Pieces, wood veneers and Snippets are perfect for this:

Don't be afraid to add your title onto one of the Cut outs or Bits N Pieces, it really adds interest to your title and "dresses" it up.  Don't have the "perfect" matching embellishment?  Use your punches, they are a great way to "make your own" embellishment from your patterned paper:

Happy Friday everyone!  Lisa here today to share another Fabulous Friday Challenge!  Our challenge for this Friday is a frosty one using this mood board as inspiration for your project.
