Lovely Claire

I have a special connection to the name Claire and never expected a paper pack to be named after Claire, but it was cute to see what CTMH image was of "Claire."  I have to say I fully agree.  A colorful pack of chevron, flowers, and variations of orange and pink.

I came across this layout online somewhere - I truly wish I remember where so I could give credit due!  However, they did not use the same paper pack as myself and I altered the layout slightly to fit what I wanted, but I still wish I could do a side by side shot.  Oh well!  Here is my Claire creation :)

Just lovely, right!?  I did not use a stamp set for the saying, but came across the jpeg being used on Facebook, so I saved it and then printed it on white cardstock.  Sneaky, huh? ;)

Spring is here!

Spring is here & summer is FAST approaching!  Man time flies!  Has it really been 2 whole weeks since I last posted?!  Thankfully I attended a quick weekend retreat in Lake Tahoe this past weekend and was able to get caught up on some layouts :)

Each of the layouts I'll be sharing today are from the same Chantilly paper pack, but have completely different looks.  I'm not sure which is my favorite, because I love them both!

First up is the layout that was inspired by our current Close to my Heart Idea Book & Catalog :)

I love the colors and I especially LOVE the sunshine rays!  Now just to find the perfect photo's for this great layout...

This one is for all those out there that need to do something with all those Easter photo's from last month!

Don't you just love those little chicks!?  Too cute!

I hope you enjoy the layouts as I do and I promise to NOT take another two weeks before my next post :)

Happy Scrappin!

April Stamp of the Month

It's April & we have a new Stamp of the Month!  I'm excited about this one too!  I have been waiting to get this one.  Just spend $50 here and get the My Sunshine stamp set for just $5.  Great deal!  Lets hope that I can get some great layouts done with it, particularly re-creating the one CTMH has posted for it!

I'm so in love with the hot air balloon!  Maybe because it reminds me of one of my favorite Disney movies, Up.  Up makes me cry every time.  Every single time, but I still love it! 

More artwork to come this week!  Stay tuned :)

Happy Scrappin!
