gossamer blue | the extra's...

every year i get to hang out with my two girlfriends, Becky and Robyn, and we scrapbook for a good four days. our days are filled creating lots of projects like, cards, mak-n-takes, techniqes, sketch challenges, plan a page, layouts, etc. we are definitely busy and it's always a good time! the fifth day is spent shopping and helping each other plan future pages. during our recent annual scrappy get together last month, i was able to work on a few assignments that were in the works but never finished b/c i had creative block. so, of course, i had the pleasure of bouncing ideas off of them.

here are the rest of my layouts i made using Gossamer Blue's fabulous April main kits & life pages kits...

"Happy Day"
 

    

third layout "Frayed" was total bonus, based off this April PageMaps sketch...

thanks for stopping by, have a wonderful day... xo!

gossamer blue | April '14, all boy...

happy April!!

as many of you may know, last week, Gossamer Blue's website crashed, which made it difficult to make purchases. in addition to the site crash, Lori, was admitted to the hospital for several days due to a ruptured appendix. she is back home in recovery mode... so, please keep her in your thoughts and/or prayers for a speedy recovery back to better health.

the site is back up and running and April kits are still available! this months kits are filled with plenty of embellishments and pretty papers to get those creative juices flowing! lots of diversity this month, which made it even more fun to create layouts. i ESPECIALLY loved this month because there was a good mix of both boy & girl products; and i couldn't get enough of all the boy collections by October Afternoon & Crate Paper. this layout created uses a good mix of product using the main kit, digital die-cut files and printables.

be sure to grab your April kits TODAY! you don't want to miss out!

Page Maps + Paper Smooches | a friendly card...

back with another project share today... i participated in PageMaps April card sketch this month and i happily used our sponsor, Paper Smooches, adorable Talk Bubble stamps and Speech Bubble dies. i'm not much of a card maker, but i really love making them when the inspiration hits. my card doesn't really look much like the sketch, but was definitely created with several elements from the sketch into my design.

thanks for stopping by... have an awesome day, take care... xo!

PageMaps | April sketch layout, Spring...

hey all...

i meant to have this up yesterday, but was sidetracked... anyway, sharing my layout today created based on PageMaps April 12x12 layout sketch. lots of great sketches to inspire your creativity this month. Spring is my favorite season, i just love to get my hands dirty into the earth. now that it's warm and sunny, i'm eager to get moving on our herb and vegetable gardens and i'm hoping this year we will have success w/ a few vegetables that weren't so successful last year. but we will see. i'm sure it has a lot to do w/ soil, weather, pests, even the gardener ;) ha!
