Scrapjazz.com Article Sneak Peeks

Happy Saturday everyone! Just wanted to share some sneak peeks of recent articles I wrote for Scrapjazz.com. These articles are also posted for Scrapbook.com! The first one on how to make a Prom Mini Album has already been published so you can hop on over and check it out at the link here. Here is a photo of the completed album:

The second article was a product review of the ever popular Nikki Sivils delightful new Summer line! Really loved working with this line and this upcoming article will include a single boy theme layout, a family double layout and a miss you card. Here is a couple sneak peeks:

This article should be up at scrapjazz.com this week!

The next one I created was a product review for the amazing Crate Paper's Eclectic Buttons. This article features a very simple single layout, an altered antique muffin tin and a wedding card! They all use the buttons and paper from either Crate Paper's Emma's Shoppe or Toy Box. Really loving Crate Paper more and more these days. Here is a couple special sneak peeks for you:

This article will be up in early August.

The last sneak peek I want to share today is for one of my favorite companies, Webster's Pages! I did a product review of the fabulous new Yacht Club line. This line just screams summer vacation, but I did manage to use it for several other themes as well. The projects in this article include: A double lighthouse layout, a graduation card, birthday card and celebration card. Here is a few sneak peeks for you:

This article will publish in mid to late August!

So be sure to watch for the full articles over at Scrapjazz.com or Scrapbook.com, they should all be  up by the end of August!

The Color Room Challenge#68

So I got some time yesterday to create a layout to play along at the Color Room. They come up with the coolest color palettes and inspiration and so I felt, inspired. Here is the palette/inspiration sketch from "Her Room":

So here is my interpretation of it, I kept the sketch intact and added a lovely photo of my daughter and her bff. There's some fun masking, stamping and lots of layers! My favorite part is how the bottle caps combined with some vintage pearl buttons look like sweet little cupcakes!

Here are some close-ups:

Materials Used: Studio Calico/Elementary (base), SEI, Jillibean Soup/Kraft, My Minds Eye/Life Stories, Jillibean Soup/Corrugated Button Flowers (as masks), Making Memories/Animal Crackers velvet brads, Fiskars/effervescence & apron lace border punches, Flower  punch, E. Prima/pearls, Maya Rd./Maya mist-brown, pink ribbon, Scenic Route/gold letter stickers, vintage trim, vintage buttons, vintage bottle caps

This color combo makes me happy, makes me think of a bakery and pastries, lol. 

Let me know what you think of my latest. 

Have a great week!

Church Camp Extravaganza!

Wow just got back from our one week vacation at church camp, and what a year it was! Soooo much fun and so uplifting. We really look forward to it all year long and feel spiritually recharged for the coming year.

This year's theme was breaking the cycle, any cycle in our lives that has a hold of us in a negative manner. We focused on one area of our lives to change for the better spiritually, mine was peace. I struggle with it as most mothers do, everyday anxieties and worry. So I will be working on that, with God's help anything is possible right!

I just wanted to share some photos from the past week, here are my favorites:

That is just a few highlights, can't wait to scrap them all! Have a great weekend everyone!
