First Day Of Kindy | Simple Stories Lil Dude | Gail Lindner

Hello and welcome to the Sassy Scrappers blog today! My name is Gail Lindner and I'm thrilled to be a guest designer here today! 
I got to play with the Lil Dude collection by Simple Stories  which is perfect for my colorful, dinosaur loving, adventurous little boys!

I always find my best inspiration comes from the product itself and for this layout, I was inspired by the striped design on the 'Super Hero' patterned paper.

I decided to pull out my watercolours and create my own striped background! My colours were a bit more subtle, but that way the focus would still be on my photos right!?

The collection has lots of stickers, die cuts, puffy stickers and chipboard pieces to embellish. I always like using a variety of textures of embellishments. 

Thanks so much for popping by today! Be sure to check out this collection in the Sassy store - especially if you have little boys like me!

Splash Zone | Simple Stories Hello Summer | Tarrah McLean

Hi Sassy Scrappers,
It's Tarrah McLean back with you and today I am sharing a new layout using the gorgeous Hello Summer collection by Simple Stories. 

This collection is absolutely gorgeous with its bright colours and Summery elements! I started off being dropping some mist splatters in both blue and yellow so that it slightly replicated splashes of water. 

I decided to take out both the ephemera and sticker circles and placed them around my photo to frame it. I also added the beach ball, the lime and the sun as they went well with the circles too. 

The Splash Zone ephemera piece was the perfect title and I like how it looks on the right of the photo. I tucked in a few of the green leaf prongs for added interest and also picked out a few phrase stickers to add that went with the theme of the page.

The chipboard banner is super cute so I added that to the top of the layout and then to balance the page, I added a strip of patterned paper and another phrase sticker to the bottom edge of the layout. 

All these gorgeous Hello Summer goodies can be found in the Sassy store! Make sure you check out the all new look!

Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Happy creating!

Life Is Better When You're Laughing | Pinkfresh Studio Escape the Ordinary | Tarrah McLean

Hi Sassy Scrappers,
It's Tarrah McLean back with you today to share a new layout created using the awesome Escape the Ordinary collection by Pinkfresh Studio!

This week I was inspired by the cool patterned paper that looks like it has barcodes on it! I decided to start out by cutting up this paper into strips that I could place horizontally down my page.

My photo is one of my parents when they are trying to take selfies at the airport before their flight overseas. I am not sure they will ever get the hang of it but they had fun trying...hence the very fitting title this week...Life Is Always Better When You're Laughing! 

I popped the title up using some foam tape and placed it directly under my photo. I then picked out lots of the embellishments that were suited to not only the theme of my layout but also to the design and the colour scheme. I always try to design my page so that it is visually pleasing to the eye.  

I used some of the cool ephemera pieces, chipboard pieces and puffy stickers to embellish my layout.

This is my finally my last layout using this collection...stay tuned next week for some fresh new layouts using a new collection!

Thank you for stopping by today, make sure to stop by the awesome new Sassy store for amazing products!

Happy creating!

Storm | Pinkfresh Studio Escape The Ordinary | Tarrah McLean

Hi Sassy Scrappers,
It's Tarrah McLean back with you today to share a new layout created using the awesome Escape the Ordinary collection by Pinkfresh Studio!

I have had this storm photo printed out for some time now so when I saw that chipboard piece that says, 'Storms Don't Last Forever'' from the Escape the Ordinary collection I just knew I had to scrap this photo. That chipboard piece was definitely the inspiration for my layout this week.

I love taking photos of the weather and the sky! I must have been a meteorologist in my past life or I get it from my Dad...one of the 2! My Dad and I could talk about weather and watch the weather channel all day and not get bored! We love it! I stuck with a colour scheme this week of blue and white with a touch of yellow/gold.

Those leatherette alphas are amazing! I love them so I used them to add a plain title that just says 'Storm'...I feel like the photo speaks for itself so I didn't need to come up with a fancy title. I used lots of the ephemera and the cardstock stickers on this page, pulling out everything that I felt went with the theme of my page.

I decided to add the chipboard piece directly over the top of the photo and I love the sticker above it that says, 'Shake the World'. I also added the ephemera piece that says, 'Learn to Love the Skies You are Under' as I felt it went perfectly with this page and photo.
Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Smile | Pinkfresh Studio Escape the Ordinary | Tarrah McLean

Hi Sassy Scrappers,
It's Tarrah McLean back with you today to share a new layout created using the awesome Escape the Ordinary collection by Pinkfresh Studio!

This week I was inspired by some of the hexagon shaped elements included in this collection. So I pulled out my trusty hexagon punch that punches 2 size hexagons and punched a few from some of the different papers in the 6' x 6' paper pad.

I like how the different colours look mixed together in the hexagon shapes. I added a few triangle embellishments to break up the triangles a little bit. The butterflies in this collection are my absolute favourite so I just had to include my very last one that I was hoarding on this layout!

I have scrapped a photo of myself as I don't scrap myself all that often, I guess my family will want to remember what I looked like one day...well hopefully anyway ha! I mounted my photo on some Kraft cardstock...I like how it looked blended with the other colours. 

Thank you so much for stopping by today! Make sure you check out the all new awesome Sassy store for delicious goodies that you just have to have!

Happy creating!

Wander | Pinkfresh Studio Escape the Ordinary | Tarrah McLean

Hi Sassy Scrappers,
It's Tarrah McLean back with today to share a new layout created using the awesome Escape the Ordinary collection by Pinkfresh Studio!

I have had this photo printed for so long and never really found anything that I liked to go with it until I was working with this awesome collection again the other day!

Outdoor photos are just perfect! 

 I started out by cutting out a leafy background cut file from white cardstock and then backed a couple of random leaves with one of the papers from the 6' x 6' paper pad. I then machine stitched the cut out down onto another sheet of white cardstock.

I popped the photo up with some foam tape and embellished mostly around the photo to draw your eye in. I picked out green, gold and hints of blue embellishments as they were the colours in the photo. I chose 'Wander' as my title using those super cool leatherette alphabet stickers!

Thank you so much for stopping by today! Make sure you check out the all new Sassy store...it has received a makeover and its awesome!
Happy creating!
