Bazzill Basics - Beach House collection and a GIVEAWAY!
Hi everybody! I have something fun to share with you today. Last month the good folks at Bazzill Basics sent me some goodies to play with - the new Beach House mini paper pack and Card Shoppe cardstocks.
I had the best of intentions to create something as soon as the goodies arrived but I got a wee bit sidetracked finishing up my Two Peas workshop, getting ready for back to school, and basically living our lives at the football fields watching my oldest play and practice. The good news is that even though this collection has a beach theme it can definitely be used for projects other than those planned for summer. The colors are perfect for masculine themed cards and that is exactly what I created.
My husband and I will be celebrating our 12 year wedding anniversary on September 23rd so I thought I would create a simple yet graphic card to commemorate the occasion. And I'm rather impressed with myself that I'm actually ahead of the game and created this card early rather than waiting until the very last minute! LOL
I choose three patterns from the mini print pack of Bazzill papers - a blue, red, and stripe - and then cut them using my Silhouette into these mod shapes. I then stamped my sentiment with one of my favorite Technique Tuesday stamps by Ali Edwards using Stampin' Up! Early Espresso ink. I like to use this color as an alternative to black (which can be a bit stark) especially when I'm using kraft cardstock. I added a button from Fancy Pants tied with twine to hold my stamped banner in place.
And now for the giveaway! The good folks at Bazzill Basics sent me another set of Beach House papers and Card Shoppe cardstock to give away to one of my lucky blog readers. Just leave a message on this post and be sure to include your email address so I can contact you if you've won. This giveaway will be open until Thursday, September 20th and I'll announce the winner on Friday morning. Good Luck!

trick or treat
Hey everyone! I have a new layout to share with you today. This layout uses the adorable new Spooky & Kooky Halloween line by Bazzill Basics. Yep, that's right, Bazzill Basics makes patterned paper now too! Pretty cool huh?
These are photos of my two boys last year on Halloween. I love that this collection has some yellow in it along with the more traditional Halloween colors of orange, black, purple and green. It really helped to tie in the colors of Darian's yellow Spongebob costume. I grounded my design on black cardstock that I splattered with some White Calico Mister Huey spray mist by Studio Calico. I then created a simple grid design which allowed me to use several different patterned papers from this line without overwhelming my photos.
The Spooky & Kooky line also includes coordinating stickers and buttons. I popped up one of the stickers with dimensional adhesive and clustered it with a button and brad to add a bit of detail to my journaling strip.
The generous folks at Bazzill Basics sent me a whole set of Spooky & Kooky goodies to give away to one of my blog readers. To be entered to win simply leave a comment on this blog post telling me what your child(ren) plan to dress up as on Halloween by Monday, October 17th at midnight EST. I'll announce the winner on Tuesday! Good luck and thanks for stopping by! :)
