Echo Park, "Paris Notre Dame", Winter Wishes Layout

 Am working through our many photos of our Viking Paris to Swiss Alps from late November through December 2025 of our wonderful time! This is a simple layout showcasing the photos of Paris Notre Dame during these winter days and night. The cathedral is so beautiful on the inside especially, and more to journal at a later time. These pattern papers are the Echo Park Winter Wishes collection which has one each of these patterns. Matched up with 2 shades of Bazzill cardstock from my stash. The alphas are American Craft Thickers which have a sparkly and textural element. Love looking at this layouts so long after the trip which reminds me to always take time to MAKE memories! We loved this trip so much that we are going yet again this Christmas on Viking Prague to Paris, God willing! My health has been limiting but am pro-active to do procedures to help that. Hope you enjoy the layouts!

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.
