SOME LAYOUTS TO SHARE

Hello it's me again! I just wanted to share some of the layouts I finished and

they are not for any challenges, it's one of those days that my creative mojo

was so down and had to force my self to scrap so the creativity will  start to flow in.

I finished this layout about two weeks ago and just found the time to finally able to share them with you. It  will be a long post with lots of photos.
I hope you enjoy them and Thanks again for stopping by my blog-

1) "TODAY" using SIMPLE STORIES Fabulous collection-

2) "Always Fun With 3 Silly Boys" using ECHO PARK Happy Days collection

3) "YOU & I" using ECHO PARK Be Mine collection

4) "LOVE YOU" using ECHO PARK Be Mine collection

5) "FOREVER TOGETHER" using ECHO PARK Be Mine collection

There you have it! I've been trying to use my stash as much as possible so most of the paper collections i used are older, not too old, but they are not the latest one. I've been good in not spending way too much for scrapbooking :D I hope you enjoyed every single one and I hope i have inspired you today. Thank you very much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!

hugs and lots of love,

Melissa

ECHO PARK & STUCK?! SKETCHES

Hi there! Good Morning!!!

It's Friday and this time it is really my Friday because it's my weekend off!

YAY!!!

Let me start off this day with a layout I created using ECHO PARK

Be Mine line- love the pink and black colors in this collection.

This is also inspired by STUCK?! SKETCHES May 1st sketch and here it is-

and this is the beautiful sketch from STUCK?! SKETCHES-

instead of using 3 photos i only used 2 photos and added a small cardstock with sentiment and also added a stamped sentiment under it. And yes, i am inlove with crafting tape, washi tape, paper tape or whatever it is that we all call it LOL. I got a couple of sets of crafting tape from Michaels from Recollections- they are sooo pretty i used the bird cage one here it comes in 3 tapes per set and way cheaper that the other brands :D

I'VE BEEN SCRAPPING...

Hello there! Thank you for stopping my blog today.

I've been really busy and feeling very stressful with my work. I've been

scrapbooking to ease off some stress which works well but was not

really in the mood of sharing them :(...

I am still very tired, stress and burnt out from work but i was able to shake them off

and I am here to share with you a few projects I've created for Mother's Day.

Let me share with you some photos from Mother's Day. After church we had brunch at

Red Lobster, we haven't been there for awhile and missed it so much.

...great ambiance, we didn't have to wait for a long time because we came in right when they just opened :D, great food- we we're all starving LOL! all in all it was a wonderful day

to celebrate a special day.

*****EDITED******

I also wanted to share with you a new challenge blog called

Now, on with some scrappy projects. First up is for NIKKI SIVILS

special Mother's Day post.

" #1 MOM"

I created this layout using the beautiful AUDREY collection which is soooo perfect for

Mother's Day layout. This is my dear mother photo taken last February on her birthday. I kept it simple and add lots of layers.

I also created a 3 Mother's Day cards using ECHO PARK Country Drive collection and here they are

I hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day like I did.

SMILE- ANOTHER ONE FOR BITW

Yup! It's me again and for the third time LOL!

Please do scroll down to see my previous post for

NIKKI SIVILS/SKETCH SUPPORT Friday and

LOOK & SEE post for BITW challenge.

This is inspired by BIRD IS THE WORD Smile challenge and

I love it when i finish a layout in less than an hour. I just wish it's like this all the time LOL.

Well this layout with the photo of my DH cousin and her son was over and done in an instant.

Again, using ECHO PARK Happy Days collection the vibrant colors of the papers are so fun

to use and very easy to put together. I wanted to how the beautiful patterns on the papers so i kept it simple using straight lines and still added layers and details.

I hope you enjoy it and i hope i have inspired you.

Thank you again for stopping by and have a great day!

hugs&kisses,

Melissa :D



LOOK & SEE HOW MUCH GOD LOVES ME- BITW

This will be my second post for today:D

Make sure you scroll down to see my post for the

 NIKKI SIVILS/SKETCH SUPPORT Friday.

I was able to scrap on my days off Monday and Tuesday and was really inspired by

BIRD IS THE WORD challenges so here is my take on the LOOK & SEE challenge-

I think I've mentioned it before that i am trying my very best not to spend anymore money buying scrapbooking supplies except for my one and only monthly kit subscription from ARTFUL DELIGHT and glues well I've been really good and actually haven't bought any glues yet because even that i have more than enough LOL!

So for this layout I used my unopened ECHO PARK Happy Days collection kit. I was actually surprised and forgot when and where did I purchased it. Love the colors of this collection!

I have the new book of SKETCHES FOR SCRAPBOOKING from Sketch Support and got it from NIKKI SIVILS DT -one of the great perks of being in a design team are cross promos. This layout is inspired by one the many beautiful and easy to use sketches that you can find in the book.

Thank you so much again for stopping by my blog. Have a great weekend!

hugs& kisses,

Melissa :D
