You Are Home

Yesterday on Practical Scrappers we were sharing 10 ways to use burlap on your projects.  Here is my layout using burlap butterflies from Little Yellow Bicycle. 

I decided to stamp on them to give them a different look. I used texture stamps on the two on the right, and decided to use date stamps on the one on the left.  Unfortunately, I made a mistake in my date. It should say "2011", not "2012". I'm going to have to find a way to fix that. I think I'll have to use a completely new butterfly.

I loved working with the Family Ties collection from Pebbles (courtesy of Scrapbook Centrale). I thought it was great how well it matched with some Jillibean Soup stickers I had in my stash.

Make sure to check out the rest of the Practical Scrappers design team take on burlap on this post.

Supplies:
Papers and Dimensional Stickers: Pebbles (Family Ties)
Burlap Butterflies: Little Yellow Bicycle
Letters and decorative stickers: Jillibean Soup (Cold Cucumber Soup)
Ink: Memento

Can't Help but Love You

Hello everyone, it's been a while, hasn't it?  I've been scrapping, but simply couldn't get around to posting.  Hopefully I can make it more regularly.

Here's a layout I made this past summer for Scrapbook Centrale to showcase Pebbles Inc. Sunnyside collection. 

Speaking of Pebbles Inc., have you seen their new collection Seen & Noted? I love it, the colours are gorgeous!  Hopefully I'll get to share a layout with those papers soon :)

Crate Baby

I made this layout, using Cosmo Cricket's new Tea For Two collection, as a store sample for Scrapbook Centrale.  I actually made it while cropping at the store last Friday, and since I had to leave it there, I quickly photographed it using my P&S.  Hence the less-than-stellar pic of it.

I love this picture taken by my cousin Caro :)

Paper: Cosmo Cricket - Tea For Two (Rose Petal Jam, Tea Tins, Tea Towel, Butter, Cup & Saucer, Sugar Cubes)

Letters: American Crafts and Jillibean Soup

Cars Have Engineers : : Lily Bee Designs

Here's another store sample I made for Scrapbook Centrale using the new Lily Bee line, This & That.  I made this at the last all-day crop at SC and figured I'd just leave it there, so I grabbed a quick pic.  Sorry about the glare.
