January Addicted Scrapper projects





This kit was so much fun to play with! I still have so many ideas in my head- especially for some fun birthday layouts or cards. You just can't resist the great bright colors- they just make me HAPPY!!



































** Idea to note: The "black" area on the Kindergarten layout (behind the numbers cardstock lace) is actually see-thru. The black is just showing through to the room beyond in the photo! It was fun to have that transparent aspect to the photo!

January Addicted Scrappers kit revealed!


I'm so excited about this month's Addicted Scrappers kit! Its the new KI Pop Culture! I love the hip hop bright colors and cool combinations of pink, orange and blue! The KI cardstock lace is so much fun! And of course those Thickers vinyl letters ROCK! Check it out! I can't wait to start creating with it this month!

Ad Inspiration!



Here is a fun ad-inspired layout I did a couple months ago. After opening the freezer and reaching for a popsicle, I noticed that the logo on the box of popsicles was very unique. The name brand "Mexico" was created with stripes of color going across it... yellow, then blue, then a light blue. It immediately caught my eye.... (I'm sure my husband was wondering why I was standing with the freezer open for so long!! Wink ) hee hee hee.... So I was inspired to create a title for my page called "Life's A Beach" after that logo. I took three papers- a dark blue, water pattern, and sand pattern and tore them into long strips, layered them one on top of the other, then hand cut my letters out of them. I love the unique look it gave my title and my layout!
