Ava Flower Girl

I did this card for the Bugaboo - Catch the Bug August Challenge - Anything Goes. I needed a birthday card for a small girl and this Ava with flowers image from Bugaboo was just the right one. I kept the card itself simple with some cool papers and a sentiment.

Summer Fun - BasicGrey Challenge

I was browsing through blogs yesterday and stumbled upon this BasicGrey Challenge site. I love BasicGrey Papers and I was going to work on some pictures of Bella from this summer, so this challenge #50 - Sizzling Summer was perfect.

 I used the BasicGrey Lime Rickey Collection of patterned paper for this layout. This particular stripes patterned paper is called Hoboken I think. Summer always makes me think of bright colors and so this layout was perfect. I used some chipboard alphabets and maya road chipboard banners for this layout. The journaling box is from Luxe Designs Jotter Series.

Cooking Class

I wanted to share this layout that I did for Lisa Day's 28 sketches class on www.bigpictureclasses.com. I had actually done this layout a while ago, but I had to print and glue the journaling and that took me a while as my craft room was in transition.

It was lots of fun attending the cooking class at Viking Culinary School in Dallas with my friends Leena and Amy. I have a few more layouts on this that I am working on and will hopefully share them soon.

New Craft Room

**Warning - Picture Heavy Post ***

I recently moved my scrapbook/stamping room from the guest room into the game room. My dear husband did the majority of work with the painting and putting laminate flooring in the game room. I was lucky and blessed to get some Ikea furniture for storage. So, without further ado, here are some pictures of my new craft room.

On the right hand side corner of the room, I have a Billy Bookcase from Ikea filled with SU, GKD, Ippity and Verve Stamps, Ribbon spools and some misc things. I also have a 1x5 Ikea Expedit Cube to store my papers in. I have two IRIS Storage carts stacked on top of each other. These store themed embellishments and stickers etc. There is an Antonius cart from Ikea next to my desk in which I store Glue/Brads etc.

Here are some pictures of my table, with ink and copics, PTI Stamps, the corner Galant table that we got from Ikea and the Alex Drawers.

I have some of the older Michael's storage cubes and the bigger expedit in the other corner.

I am so happy with this new place. I will post more on how I have organized things and also the contents of the drawers etc.

Last but not the least, Bella happy in the new place as well,

Thanks for stopping by and having the patience to go through all the pictures :)
Have a wonderful Wednesday,

NYC Layout

Hello Friends,

We finally finished assembling the IKEA Expedit 5x5 cube and most of my things are put away. I still need to clean up a few things, but my new room is fully functional. I am taking pictures, hopefully will post them tomorrow.

I wanted to share this layout that I did for Shimelle Laine's 4x6 Photo Love Class on TwoPeasInABucket.Com.
This was for the June class to use 6 - 4x6 photos. You should for sure check out this free class by Shimelle. It is pretty interesting.

 Pictures are from our NYC Visit in 2008 with my Mother-in-Law. I did a two page layout and used some Vacation stickers and journaling blocks. I also used some chipboard alphabets for the title.

Hopefully, I will be back tomorrow with some pictures of my new scrapbook room.
