Superhero by Amy Locurto

 As many of you already know, I am a member of The Scrapbooking Studio in Bloomington's design team. This month I was priviledged to get to work with Pebbles' Party Superhero by Amy Locurto.  I love the way these turned out!


First up, is a double layout of my 4 year old's birthday party.  I used oval cutouts from the patterned papers to accent my pictures.  I also cut apart the star garland and scattered the stars around the pages.


Next is a card perfect for just about any little guy.  The characters and stars are stickers, I also added some Stickles to the paper, just for extra little kid fun.


Last but not least is my favorite project from this month, a wall hanging for my little guys' room.  I fussy cut all of the pieces and used a piece of the patterned paper that looks like notebook paper for the background. The pieces were all simply adhered to the paper and then I used Hod Podge to secure it all on a canvas.


I really enjoyed working with this line, I hope you like what I came up with!

Thanks for looking!

Washi Tape Decor

Hello, All!  This week's Practical Scrapper challenge for the 10 Things Team 
was to make something using Washi Tape.

I chose to use Washi Tape to cover a chipboard word.  I took the bare chipboard word "LOVE" and simply lined up the tape to cover it while keeping the pattern.

This is how it turned out after adding a few butterfly embellishments.


I hope you like it!

Thanks for looking!

Dad Sack Card

This weeks 10 Things post for Practical Scrappers was to incorporate a bag in some way 
on our layout or card.

I had found some mini sacks by The Paper Studio a while back that I knew 
would be perfect for this challenge!

I started with a 5" x 7" card and matted it with navy blue cardstock.  I then used BoBunny's Family Is... line for most of the rest of my card.  The yellow polka dot paper was cut to fit, the other embellishments are all cardstock cutouts from BoBunny that I picked up at The Scrapbooking Studio in Bloomington.  I love the color combinations from this line!

The mini sack is just the right size for a gift card to be slipped in for Dad.

Tiny Buttons

This week I was asked to do a layout using something tiny for Practical Scrappers.  I had found some tiny buttons at Jo-Ann's that I thought I would be able to use at some point and this is what I came up with.


This heart was cut free hand from white cardstock and then I simply used glue to attach the tiny buttons.

All of the other accents and the letter stickers are from Bo Bunny.


This is an old picture of my younger daughter and her cousin on my husband's lap.  The girls are now nine and still the best of friends!

Kaitlyn's Card

I made this card for a friend of our family that recently graduated from high school.

Kaitlyn has a very happy, bubbly personality so I wanted to make her a fun card in her favorite colors.



I hope you like it!

Sometimes God Lets Us Choose Our Family

This week on Practical Scrappers, I was challenged to do something fun for my Title.

I chose to use a combination of corrugated cardboard letters, which I matted with cardstock and then fussy cut around, and small letter stickers (which are one of my favorite things right now).

This layout is special to me because it is about some of our very best friends, friends that we think of as family.  Tim and Shelly and their 3 kids used to live right down the road from us and we were inseparable.  They moved away about 8 years ago but we still miss them all the time!


Thanks for looking!
