FInally got Everyday Eclectic, and then...

right when I was about to sit down and scrap with it...the electricity goes out! :( The whole neighborhood went out till midnight. It was almost 8pm when it went out. There was still good light outside, so what did I do? I went outside to scrap! For about 15 minutes...but it was enough to at least get an idea of where I wanted to go with the LO. That was friday.
So Saturday I woke up ready to play! Here's what I made:
Papers- Everyday Eclectic by Echo Park, wood veneer cameras & arrow - Studio Calico,
Tape- Bella Blvd, ink- Jenni Bowling in Fountain Pen,
twine &bling from my stash

Thats me! I finally finished my M.A. in Early Childhood Education. I was lucky to meet some great people in the same program and we got to graduate together. I love that the color of my hood was the same as the blue in this collection ;) That worked out!

I'm entering this in Glitter Girl's grounding challenge over at Two Peas in a Bucket. 

I grounded my photos with a basic black line in the background (just a scrap of black cardstock) and with the tapes and banner on the bottom corners ;) 

Here's GG's adventure this week:

    Thank you for always leaving me such sweet comments. They mean so much!

    Congratulations on your graduation! I loved how you used this new paper collection. Your idea for the layout was very clever! I am just finishing a layout using the same paper. Thanks for sharing!

I'm so excited about this blog hop! I've loved Faber-Castel products for a long time and it was so much fun to combine them with my favorite DCWV textures. There’s some great prizes too- Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft and DCWV will be giving away $75 in product at the end of the hop.  To win, follow the list below and leave a comment .  The hop will end at 5PM EST on Friday, March 28 th .  The winner will be announced on Monday, March 31 st on each of the company’s blogs.    I really wanted a special page for these pictures. They give me a very HAPPY feeling  and I love the sun rays coming through the trees. I wanted to mimic that in the background paper. I thought the woven craft cardstock was a great background because its a little less stark than white for these pictures.   I wanted the journaling to be more private so I made it a pull tab behind this cut out tag from the Bohemian Sunrise stack.    ...

Christmas with Clear Scraps & DCWV

Image
Welcome to Day 2 of the DCWV and Clear Scraps blog hop! You should have come from Britt's blog: http://pinkpapercrowns.blogspot.com Thanks for making it this far!  On to the project... I might have a LO or 2 about Christmas....Why? I just never get around to making more of them! The Holidays are usually too crazy and then I get into doing LOs of just ever day stuff or travel pics... and the holidays just get forgotten.  This year, I'm ready! I'll have the album pre-made, I just have to stick on the pictures and add some journaling! I used this 8x8 tabbed acrylic album from Clearscraps to create a Christmas mini that is ready to go.  The papers are Christmas Memories with a little bit of the Christmas and winter Diecut stack, the Christmas basics 6x6 & the Burlap stack. I love clear albums because I like to see the layers through the clear pages.    I folded the 12x12 papers in half and cut them to create pockets for ...
