Here are some of the products I pulled to make this page:

Today I wanted to share this adorable layout I made using mostly Lawn Fawn products.  It features my niece & nephew having a FUN day at the water park.  As u can see, they had an amazing time!  🙂

Here’s a few close-ups…

So much CUTENESS on one page should be illegal..Right?!! LOL!

The cute Flamingo paper is from Sunny, by Imaginisce and the Flamingo chipboard piece at the bottom of the page is from You Are Here, by Simple Stories.

Here’s a look at my completed layout.  I am over the moon excited with how it turned out!  Their products are just so darn adorable & make every project I do using them, so much more FUN to create!!

#Whale Watching

Hi there & welcome back.  Today I’m playing along with Paper Issues Friends & Fans on Facebook.  The challenge is called Let’s Get Knot-ical…you can check out the PI Blog for more details on this FUN challenge.  I chose to create a layout about my whale watching experience last month.  It may have not been everything we’d hoped for, but we had a blast anyways!  Here is a few close-ups:

I used a combination of three different lines…Sunny, by Imaginisce; Beach Day, by Carta Bella; & Summer Sun, by Fancy Pants…Isn’t the whale paper so dang CUTE!?  Oh, I almost forgot to mention, the adorable 3-D whale, by Doodlebug! 🙂

We had such a great time, even though we didn’t see much of the whale! LOL! As u can read here…

This was such a fun layout to create.  I just love all of these lines so much & they really compliment each other! 🙂

I hope you will join us over on the Paper Issues Friends & Fans Facebook group today.  I would love to see how you get “Knot-ical”!  Also, if you share your project on Instagram, please tag me @maamcraftsalot & use the hashtag #paperissues.

Product Spotlight~Carta Bella, Beach Day

Sometimes in life we get an unexpected curve ball!!  That’s not necessarily bad news though!  Well, this is all about my dear friend..sister for ever..and her true love that came from, well as you say, out of the blue!!!

Here’s a look at my layout I made to commemorate them.  I used the new Carta Bella, Beach Day line:

I thought this line was perfect for the photo because they were on a day date at the beach!  They rented bicycles and cruised along the beautiful coast of Pacific Beach in San Diego.  Oh…I forgot to tell you..it was November!!  Sorry guys, don’t be jealous, but that’s how we do it in Cali!!  🙂

I did follow a sketch for this layout…you can find it here.  I love the look of the navy thread, its the small details that really make a page for me.  Here’s a look at my completed layout:

June (P)Inspiration

Hello & welcome back…today I’m sharing a layout I made for the Paper Issues blog.  It is their June (P)inspiration Mood-board & I absolutely love it!  I knew it was perfect for some photos I took of me & my friend, Sandra in Laguna Beach recently.  Here is a look at the mood board:

I used a lot of the new line from Carta Bella, Beach Day.  The colors worked perfectly with the mood-board & my photos.  The cute crab at the bottom is from Imaginisce, Sunny.  Here are some of the products I pulled to make my layout:

Here’s a few close ups of my page…isn’t it cute?!? 🙂

I find that I am able to put a layout together so much quicker when I use a mood board…especially when it’s this gorgeous.  Finally, here’s a look at my completed layout:  I simply love how it turned out!!
