Webster's Pages Ladies & Gents

Webster's Pages Ladies & Gents line arrived on our sunny shores not so long ago 
and I finally decided to cut into this stash today.
I'm simply not good at covering up really pretty background paper,
so I usually resort to masking with distress ink unto the paper
for added interest. 
& Finally putting to use this 6x6 circular mask by Prima .


I've used some Pink Paislee Butterfly Garden diecuts as embellishments ,


as well as the new Girls' Paperie Jubilee Pennant Pins.

Happy Scrapping !!!

Some Crate Paper cards


Found time to use up some of the new Crate Paper Emma Shoppe & Neighborhood 6x6 paper pads. 


I revisited Got Sketch #93 for these cards.


Tried out Picket Fence crackled paint on the Maya Rd scroll chipboard shapes for the sentiment areas. 
The sentiments are stickers.

Thanks for popping by here today ! ;)

in my stash - I'm almost run out of the entire line now.
Ditto with the Pink Paislee Butterfly Garden Ephemera pack.

All smiles


I have a Magistical Memories' layout today featuring 
our Sitting Pretty Bird Frame ( designed by Nicole Lombardo ).
I have used this oval shaped bird frame
 instinctively with Paper Trunk's Maybe Baby Hugs paper.
I also layered a Nicole Lombardo canvas swirl ( sprizted with Avocado Maya Mist and then inked) 
under the bird frame for additional interest. 

Many thanks once again to our featured sponsors -
 Paper Trunk , Nicole Lombardo Design and Helmar ( for the Zapdots - foam pads )
 - always a pleasure creating with their products.

Such Sweet Tierney's New Shop Opening !!!

Check out this latest Such Sweet Tierney product offering ! 


This collection is very girly and could be used for numerous occasions. 
It features graphic stripes, dots, hounds-tooth and cupcake patterns with flourishy fonts. 
It includes buttons, package tags, journaling tags, labels and coordinating twine. 
Sweet enough to satisfy your craft craving? You bet!

Here are my layouts using up the Sweet Collection goodies - ;) 

As luck would have it , DD had just attended a birthday party 
and I have enough pics to scrap with this theme .;) 
I twisted some crepe paper to add a fun twist to the current banner craze. 
I don't have deft hands to make miniature paper chain streamers or else I would ! 
Twisting was about all I could manage . 
The background pp is from the latest Prima Madeline range.
 As are the rose sculpture flowers on the shipping tags . 

I used up some Sassafras Lass Ellie's Tale pps on this layout -
and created some cupcake liner embellies with the Sweet Collection chipboard buttons .

and the rest of the DT reveal here .
