Artsy Urban from GCD Studios

Not sure if you've seen the new Artsy Urban Collection by Melody Ross for GCD Studios by now but if you haven't you need to head on over to the GCD Studios website to check it out. It's so lovely - the colors, the patterns and the embellishments, oh my! There are just so many fabulous embellishments in this collection and I just can't seem to get enough of them.

I wanted to share this layout that I created with the new collection. A picture of me and my sweet boy Darian. Love this boy so much!


I used all sorts of goodies on this one including some of the die cut borders, chipboard flowers, transparent shapes, and vintage brads.


And I am loving these inspiration cards as well. They have the perfect words for what we want to say but so often cannot find the words ourselves. Love them!


This collection should be in your Michaels store by now (I know as of 2 weeks ago mine had bits and pieces and were expecting the rest shortly). Thanks for stopping by!

November Nook Cards ...

Just wanted to share some cards that I created with the November Kit from My Scrapbook Nook. I have had a lot of fun playing with this kit and these beautiful Lily Bee papers. I wanted to add some cards to my stash and play with some pretty Prima flowers and swirls while I was at it.




You can see my new Martha Stewart "deep edge" border punch on the first card. I just purchased this punch and couldn't wait to use it. I love how deep it cuts the border - lots of fun! Most everything you see here is included in the main kit at My Scrapbook Nook or as an add-on (except the Maya Road kraft label). Thanks for stopping by!

1979 ...

I wanted to share another layout I created with the November kit from My Scrapbook Nook. I decided to scrap an older photo for this one ... a MUCH older photo! LOL This is my older sister and I way back in 1979. I'm about 4 years old here. Can you guess which one is me? And check out those dresses and that couch! Oh baby!


I love the rub-ons that come with this kit especially this "the story..." one. Seemed like the perfect opportunity to do some hidden journaling. I created a tag pocket using my Cricut Expression and the Tags, bags, boxes and more cartridge and slipped a journaling tag inside.


Thanks for stopping by! :)
