A Girl & ...

One of my favorite subjects to scrapbook are those little day~to~day moments. I also love to capture my daughter in these moments, because it allows me to use girly papers and embellishments!

This was a layout that I was able to Instagram for National Scrapbooking Day. I used some gorgeous Ariana papers & embellishments. I also colored some ribbon with some Color Shine {Heidi Swapp} and created a lovely border. As much as I enjoyed to play with all the flowers and ribbon, it's the story of the layout that I love the most! My daughter was spending a sunny afternoon with her best friend in the backyard. They were rocking in the hammock and chit~chatting. She held her grandma's poodle in her lap and sipped on a frothy frappuccino. What more could a teenage girl want?!

I am also entering my layout in Heart 2 Heart's Take 5 challenge. My 5 items are simply the photo's I chose to be the centerpiece of my layout!

Freshly Made for Mom

I was working on a gift for my Mom earlier this week and needed a card to go with it. I chose to use the Ariana papers so that it would match her handmade gift which features the same gorgeous paper collection. I was also inspired to use the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches for it.

I love this sentiment, "Laugh until your heart overflows"! This was taken from the "zip strip" that is attached to the top of the 12x12 B&T paper. It's a beautiful sentiment and so easy to add to my project!

On the inside~ 

I used the rest of that zip strip to embellish the inside. It just makes it a bit dressed up!

Beauty of the Ball

I can't get enough of these gorgeous Ariana papers. With just a few Stickease embellishments and the addition of some Timberline wood grain papers this layout came together beautifully!

The title "Beauty of the Ball" is for my daughter celebrating her very first Military Ball. These pages will be great for the pictures I took of her in her dress with her hair done up!

Ariana Cards & Box

At my last workshop {Balloon Ride Pennant Frame}I previewed my next class. I decided to create a card box and four coordinating cards using the gorgeous Ariana papers. The new My Creations Journaling Cards Box is perfect for storing small cards, photo's or the Picture My Life journaling cards. It is simple to cover in any papers you like and embellish as little or as much as you want. I decided to add some beautiful Artiste roses, color misted petals and a pretty little flourish which is the challenge this week on Heart 2 Heart Challenges Blog.

 

 

 

 

 

What a fantastic little box and the cards look so elegant with these papers. This is going to be a fun class!
