Karla's Corner

I printed the photo on this LO years ago but wasn't sure how to scrap the very simple but cute story I wanted to tell. So it's been siting in one of my photo boxes for years. 



That changed yesterday when I got my order of Shimelle's new line. 

 

That "I think I'll stop here" die cut piece sparked something in me and brought this photo to mind again.

The story behind the photo:  I was just exhausted after walking around Rome all day. I decided to sit on this corner of a building and my husband decided to take a picture and named it  'Karla's Corner' for some reason. He says it's because I just kinda claimed it...maybe I sat down with aruthority? LOL
Who knows! We returned to the same spot a few times and if I didn't sit down, he would ask, 'Aren't you gonna sit in your corner?!' 

I used the sketch of the month over at My Scraps and More so I'm going to enter it into their monthly sketch challenge. My Scraps and More  is also where I bought my Shimelle goodies. I love their prices and customer service. Much, much better than some bigger scrapbooking stores. Hope you check them out.

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

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 ...
