Let me tell you this is such a cute and fun collection to play with, I had a blast creating my layout!

Hi Bella friends, it's Kim and I'm here sharing my first layout with the fabulous Lake Life collection. The colors in this collection are gorgeous! This is a great collection to document all your outdoor photos, even into the fall!  I decided to document these fun photos of my youngest grandson. I went with a side-by-side design, that I love to do when I use two photos. I wanted to use all the papers, but I like white space too, so I decided to cut them and stagger them behind my photos. To incorporate a few more of the papers, I cut strips and added them to one side. I picked papers tha ..read more

I also added some sprinkles from the Puffy Stickers to really gi ..read more

Hi everyone! It's Kirei here with another project featuring the fabulous new 'Birthday Bash!' collection! This time I have created a bright and fun layout featuring photos of myself with Shimelle at a scrapbook retreat from 2018. It was GoGo Getaway's 10th Birthday and they had invited Shimelle back to help them celebrate as she had been one of the teachers at their very first event!  I picked out the Burst patterned paper as I knew I wanted to use that as a feature on my background. I cut apart the individual triangular sections, distressed the edges and then stuck them down to a piece ..read more

Hello everyone, Yvette here today, and I am so happy to share a set of cards with you that I created using the beautiful Birthday Bash collection! I started by preparing each of my card bases. I trimmed some white cardstock to measure 8 1/2 inches by 5 1/2 inches, then scored it at 4 1/4 inches and folded it.   For my first card, I used the Birthday Bash collection's wide strip (Streamers) patterned paper, trimmed it down to 4x5 1/4" for the base, and added some stitching. I then added two smaller pieces of coordinating Birthday Bash Bestie blue paper to create separation in the backgro ..read more

For this one we were challenged to use as inspiration a super fun Scrapbook & Cards Today sketch, and oh how I LOVE sketches!!!

I used two of my fa ..read more

It is such a fun collection and the focus this week is on the awesome Sequins, Puffy Stickers and Daily Details.
