Happy Mother's Day Layout





 Using 49 and Market Gardenia Spectrum papers, Citrus Vintage Bits Essential Flimstrips on the side and bottom, Spectrum Sherbet Remnants which is the orange folder on the lower right edge of the photo. The cluster of flowers and butterfly is from the Prima Marketing stash I have/hoard!! And then I added Tonic Nuvo Crystal drops in Copper Penny by the flower cluster, and the Midnight sky by the "y" in the title. The title is cut from the Pinkfresh Studio Phrase builder: Happy with Bazzill white cardstock. 

About the photo: I didn't really want to take pics today due to having to wear a back brace due to my recent back procedure for pain. I am so glad that I did and that it shows what was going on even if under my shirt. The layout came together so easily using the 49 and Market fun products that I received from A Cherry on Top including the June 2024 Cherry Box. So glad that we force ourselves into our own photos even when we don't feel like it!!

Donut Worry, Be Happy House Mouse Layout

 




Using NSD 2026 as motivation to play, play, play in my scrapbook room, I loved creating this fun layout with the Pun, "Donut Worry, Be Happy" and am happy to use my fav' House Mouse Donut stamp, called "Donut Day"!  Copics were: E11,13 18,21,22 50, YG17,23,61, and R02,29. Fussy cut it all out. I waited till the whole layout was completed to add a glitter glue with my finger then poured Tonic Crystal drops in Morning Dew to mimic the Krispy Kreme glazed donuts we got that day! The fun letters are Jillibean Soup Grass Green and were easily added with my Xyron X.  Love that I had them to match so perfectly!!  Hope you enjoy it as much as I did and bet I am not the only one wanting another Krispy Kreme donut!

Party Moments


 

Using 49 & Market Christmas Spectacular 6x8 papers and Cluster pack I put this layout together inspired from Helen W's. My Julie Nutting doll was perfect for our dressed up hostess, Lynnette!! Used Wendy Vecchi's gold embossing paste with Tim Holtz Ranger Hocus Pocus stencil for the backgrounds. Love the bright vibrant colors and playfulness!! (I ran out of "t's" and subsstituted with an "f" which is backwards but oh well.

Bright Springtime Easel Card

 



Loved attending Scraporium's Scrapbook store in Lutz, FL and I highly recommend it. They had these papers already cut and none to purchase so I am unaware of what the company. We each to make what we desired and stamps and punches were available so I had a blast. For a treat, I made mine an easel card because it was so easy with the tools available. It made a bright springtime project and I personally love the purples. Enjoy!
