This & That - A Fuzzy Friend

Echo Park papers have really started to grow on me over the last year.  I loved the This & That line in the boy theme, and I'm also loving this girl themed one too!  I had some amazing shots of my daughter playing with a caterpillar that was wandering in our yard, so I put the This & That to good use.  Using an abundance of Prima flowers and embellishments; some paint splatter (some not very successful I may add); some Glimmer Glaze drips; and finally using some Bazzil Paper Tape.  I'm not sure I'm all into the Washi tape craze yet ... I understand it's versatility, however I have doubts that it is going to withstand the test of time, I think it is going to dry out and peel off when all my photos and flowers remain stuck.  We shall see, I guess.

Swing with a side of Coconut Lime Soup

My 4 year old calls it a "hoopa-loop" but she loves it!  I created this layout using the Jillibean Soup collection called Coconut Lime Soup - I love the spring colours in it, perfect for this layout.  This layout is based on a sketch that you can find over on the Jillibean Soup blog HERE.  It was an interesting sketch as there was no defined place for the photo(s) so I used three photos over the panels, I wish I had some washi tape in either pink or yellow, that would have worked perfectly.  Washi tape is getting to be pretty popular as of late.

SWING

Ingredients:
Patterned paper = Jillibean Soup - Coconut Lime Soup collection
Ribbon & punch = Stampin' Up

It's a bird, it's a song, it's a Songbird!

Prima has so many beautiful lines out with their last CHA release.  Songbird was one I truly enjoyed working with.  I took a class with the Uber talented Cari Fennell on National Scrapbooking day where we used this collection on some tags.  I had so much left over I knew I was going to do a layout. And when Emma provided the DT with the collection as well, I knew that the extra from my layout and the tag class I will have enough for more than one layout.  So, here is my first 'extra' layout.
This layout is about my teeth .... yes, you read me right, I did a layout about my teeth, or rather my braces.  I'm not sure how many of you knew that I had braces on my teeth from March 2010 until May 2012.  It's a shame I didn't do this before my wedding, I would have loved my wedding photo even more.   The photos on this layout were taken the day my braces came off ... what a day that was!  I also have a hidden photo in a pocket of me before I had braces - wow, what a transformation!

On this layout I used 'washi tape' for the first time - it really is easy to use, it adds a little bit of dimension and pattern.  I also did some doodling on the banners.  Three things that are very trendy in the world of scrapbooking currently; washi tape, doodling and banners.
