Hi there! I've been a little MIA the last while... our kitchen was undergoing a major renovation, and the stuff from the kitchen ended up in my scrap 'room' which made it impossible for me to get crafty. But, it's all done, I LOVE IT, and now I can sit and scrap again. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Sadly my term on the PI team finished up at the end of August. It was so much fun, I'm almost done going through withdrawals... those girls are crazy and amazingly awesome. Miss them tons. ;) Check out <a href="http://paperissues.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">the blog</a> to see the new team and what they are up to!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided to use a sketch today from <a href="http://stucksketches.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">Stuck?! Sketches</a> to maybe get my mojo flowing again. It was a fun design, and used 2 photos which I happened to have sitting on my desk. I used the <a href="http://paperissuesstore.myshopify.com/search?q=love+always" target="_blank">Cocoa Vanilla Love Always collection</a>, which is so beautiful and soft.... even for a layout of me and my boy. lol</div>

It is my turn up on the <a href="http://paperissues.blogspot.com/2016/08/doodlebug-fun.html" target="_blank">PI blog</a> today! I chose 2 of the new Doodlebug Designs lines to work with instead of just one... they are both so much fun I couldn't choose just one of them.<br />
<br />
So let me show you what I did with Kitten Smitten and Fun in the Sun!</div>

Good morning!! I played along with the current <a href="http://paperissues.blogspot.ca/2016/08/product-spotlight-fancy-pants.html" target="_blank">product spotlight at Paper Issues</a>, focusing on Fancy Pants! I chose to use the <a href="http://paperissuesstore.myshopify.com/search?q=fancy+pants+life+is+beautiful" target="_blank">Life is Beautiful collection</a>, and oh what fun that was. I had fun with some triangles and the soft, gorgeous colors.... My layout was about ME and the fact that I turned 40 a few weeks ago. For years I was scared of this number, but now I embrace it and am honoured that I was able to see such a milestone as it's one that my sister missed by a few months. I am PROUD to be 40.</div>

To me the board wasn't just about transportation. It was full of days gone by, of old things we remember being a huge beautiful part of our lives. So, when I started my layout I went with the black and white and a touch of color effect... and used an old picture of my brother and sister and I. Layouts with her in them are sometimes pretty hard for me to get finished, so this one was no different and I had to eventually call it DONE and move on.</div>

This month I worked with <a href="http://paperissuesstore.myshopify.com/search?q=party+time" target="_blank">Echo Park's Party Time collection</a>, a super fun line that would work excellent with all of your birthday party pictures, as well as birthday cards for friends and family!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I actually used a non birthday photo and chose papers and embellishments that didn't necessarily scream Happy Birthday. The colors are great, and the designs are awesome!!</div>

The product spotlight for today at Paper Issues, is on the new <a href="http://paperissuesstore.myshopify.com/search?q=outfitters" target="_blank">Pink Paislee line, Outfitters</a>. I wasn't too sure about this line, because while we DO camp from time to time, we aren't truly a rustic family who hikes and forages for food. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I actually chose pictures from Disney World to use, from Expedition Everest. We didn't really go on it. Just posed in front of it. That kinda counts, right? But we DID seriously debate it, as Makenna is a bit more adventurous than my other 2 were when it came to the bigger coasters at Disney. One day I'll conquer my fear, maybe when it's Braydens turn he'll want to try.</div>

Amy has done up a <a href="http://paperissues.blogspot.ca/2016/07/july-sketch-challenge.html" target="_blank">new sketch for Paper Issues for July</a>! It's awesome, featuring a big ass star. I love stars. So many options for this one, cut out a star, matte a few stars together, stitch it out, use a cut file... the possibilities are endless!!</div>

I tend to start with a sketch and if I work too hard at it, it ends up looking NOTHING like the sketch. That's where I was starting to go with this one but decided to stop and post. haha!<br />
I couldn't get the start looking right, so I opted for a large circle as my background, but made sure I used the paper with stars on it. :)<br />

Have you seen the <a href="http://paperissuesstore.myshopify.com/collections/paper-pops" target="_blank">paperPOPS in the PI Store</a>? They are super cute, made by <a href="http://www.parkerontheporch.com/" target="_blank">Parker on the Porch</a> for the PI store. Some come with planner clips included, which can be taken out to use on their own on layouts, cards, etc. I used a pop with a clip for a layout but left the clip on to attach it to my photo!</div>

I'm proud to be Canadian, but this line was kinda cute and I have a LOT of American friends :)</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Happy Monday Everyone!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We're celebrating a new issue over at Paper Issues, Lisa kicked it off on the blog this morning, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it's called <a href="http://paperissues.blogspot.com/2016/07/new-issue-gleam-catchers-round-1.html" target="_blank">Gleam Catchers</a>!! This really got me excited because I'm a lover of all things gold, and stars, and well... pretty much anything she asked us to use for the challenge.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can find the other girls inspiration on the blog at the link above, and you can upload your own masterpiece into the July Challenge Album over at PIFF!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I cut out some stars from some gold confetti vellum, and then spray painted some smaller cork stars with gold spraypaint as well. Didn't stop there, as I sprinkled some gold paint alongside them too!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used a Heidi Swapp glitter word sticker, originally it was all one piece to say 'photobomb' but I cut it apart to make a little bit different of a title.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now let's see what you can do!!</div>

I didn't jump fast enough to get on the new issue train for June, so I decided to do up a layout and make it into my blog post for this month. I found my October Afternoon Treasure Map papers, or at least the bits and pieces that I had left... I loved this line... and worked on this little piece. Adding some glittery stars around the universe was the final touch. </div>

If you haven't tried your hand at one of the Issues at PI, come on over and check it out! You can win yourself a gc to the PI store. Truly addicting place. Believe me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

And as always, get 20% off of that addicting place with the code 'Chelsea'.</div>

Have yourselves a wonderful day!</div>

Happy Saturday everyone! I love working with the sketches from <a href="http://amycoose.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">Amy Coose</a> at <a href="http://paperissues.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">Paper Issues</a>! This is the fun sketch that was created for us to play around with....</div>

And here is my take on it using the very cute Little Girl line from <a href="http://paperissuesstore.myshopify.com/search?q=crate+paper+little+you" target="_blank">Crate Paper Little You</a>. Equally cute is the Little Boy line. I used a Simple Stories woodgrain full size paper for my background and I just love the warmth it gave the layout, especially for the pictures I chose to use.</div>

Hey! I thought I'd play around with the <a href="http://canadianscrapbooker.ca/sketchy/showphoto.php?photo=1587&title=may-2016&cat=566" target="_blank">May sketch at Creative Scrapbooker Magazine</a>... It's been awhile since I took part in one of their monthly sketches and I had a picture of my boy that was begging to be used....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided with the bright, fun colors of <a href="http://paperissuesstore.myshopify.com/collections/imaginisce" target="_blank">Imaginisce Sunny</a> to make a good punch of color against the white background, especially since my photo was less than stellar in quality and lighting. lol</div>

So there's these things, at Paper Issues, called printables. Best part, is that they are FREE. Second best part, is that they are super cute!! You can find them <a href="http://paperissuesstore.myshopify.com/collections/free-files" target="_blank">HERE</a> in the shop along with the downloadable cut files. Which I can't use, since I don't have a machine with which to use them. Yet. Fingers are crossed for my birthday. lol</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The printable I used belonged to this collection called <a href="http://paperissuesstore.myshopify.com/collections/free-files/products/eat-all-the-things-free-printable-file" target="_blank">Eat All The Things</a>. I found the ONE picture I knew I had of my daughter eating an ice cream cone during a Disney break, and went to work!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On this layout I used Crate Paper's Little You, diving into both of the Little Boy and Little Girl papers. I added a few embellies from Shimelle Starshine and called it a day. I thought the blues and pinks were perfect for matching the photo of her beloved Elsa sweater she bought herself.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I highly recommend checking out all of the free files at Paper Issues, something for everyone!</div>

What a beautiful collection the <a href="http://www.paperissues.com/#!design-team/c1ia9" target="_blank">PI team</a> is showcasing on the blog today! I don't do the bible journalling, if that's what it's even called... but I had to grab this line anyways because of the beautiful florals, the stark black background, and the sweet clear cuts!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://paperissuesstore.myshopify.com/search?q=she+blooms" target="_blank">Bella Blvd Illustrated Faith 'She Blooms'</a> is gorgeous. And I knew it was perfect for the pictures I took at La Reve in Las Vegas. I layered distressed strips going down the page, and used 4x4 photos which fit perfectly across the page. Fussy cut some of the flowers and adding some of the chipboard embellies finished it off just right.</div>

Hello and welcome to my drama!! Actually, I must admit my mama has no drama. She is quiet, calm, and strong as hell. A year to the day that we lost my sister to cancer, my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. A long hard year of surgery, radiation, and chemo finished up recently with her smiling through it all, thankful that she is still with us and that her story so far has turned out good.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The theme of 'Save the Drama for your Mama' could have encompassed a lot of things. Large photos, large titles, dramatic elements, tv dramas, a layout about your mom and what she has taught you, etc., or just using the super cute llama card from Paper Issues. I chose my mom. Because she honestly deserves the spotlight!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She has some very dear friends who helped her through the battle, and this one in the picture with her was at the top of the list. They are camping buddies (hello happy hour!) and I know that with her, my mom always has someone to count on.....</div>

Recognize the fossilized papers? Scenic Route, baby. I'm depleting my stash to make room for new goodies! The enamel dots and wood veneer however, came from the <a href="http://paperissuesstore.myshopify.com/" target="_blank">PI store</a>, and you can shop 'til you drop with 20% off for using the code 'Chelsea'.</div>
