Happy Tuesday everyone! I'm off from work but it will be a busy, busy day for

us. It's summer, no more school for my kids and we have plans for every time I'm off.

This will be a fun summer for all of us.

It's also the second Tuesday of the month and you know what that means,

I am up at NIKKI SIVILS blog and I am showing off

three new layouts using NOAH  and AUDREY line.

"ALL BOYS"

I just love the cute stars in the NOAH line. This is inspired by PAGEMAPS sketch for SWEET SHOPPE digi contest. click HERE for details. And yes, I am entering this to the contest. I would love to win the $50 gift certificate from the SWEET SHOPPE and maybe try digital scrapping.

 "JYLIAN"

i really love the combination of blues and pinks in the AUDREY line and i also added
a couple of the cute red burlap button form NIKKI SIVILS. 

 "GIGGLES & SMILES"

This another layout using AUDREY line and inspired by one of Allison Davis sketch from SKETCH SUPPORT- one page sketches.

Stop by NIKKI SIVILS blog and read more about these layouts.

I hope i have inspired you today.

Have a wonderful day. God bless.

Thank you all for stopping by my blog.

IT'S FRIDAY!!!

Happy Friday everyone!!!

It's Friday and it's time to share another layout using SKETCH SUPPORT sketch

and some NIKKI SIVILS goodies.

Allison Davis, from SKETCH SUPPORT, creates some of the

amazing 2 pages sketches, super easy to use and they really help me a lot in starting my layouts.

Here is my take on her 2 page sketch for this month-

"SNOW FUN"

 and here are a few close-up shots for details-

For this layout, I used the EXIT HERE collection, which is perfect for some outdoor fun photos like these photos of my family. I love, love the colors, punch outs, and easy cut-ups of EXIT HERE collection. I also used  some NS burlap buttons, maraschino twine from THE TWINERY, NS alpha stickers, and lots of GLUE ARTS 3D U Cut It foam adhesive.

This photos was taken March this year when we went to Palomar Mountain and there was at least 10 inches of snow, not as much snow as last year but we still love it!!!

Please be sure to check out NIKKI SIVILS blog to see some more beautiful projects from the DT's and also hop onto SKETCH SUPPORT blog to see what the Sketch Support talented DT's created using NIKKI SIVILS.

Thank you so much for stopping by and have a wonderful Friday!!!

MY ROAD TRIP BUDDIES- NIKKI SIVILS + GLUE ARTS DAY TWO SWAP

Happy Friday everyone!

It's the second day of NIKKI SIVILS + GLUE ARTS swap

and here is the project I created using NS EXIT HERE line and GLUE ARTS

was so generous to send us some of their wonderful products.

I used GLUE ARTS Glue Glider Pro, which is super easy to use and

sticks very well, and I also used 3D Combo Pac Raisen's and U Cut It for

added dimension. The Raisen's adhesive square were perfect in

sticking the NS burlap button.

NIKKI SIVILS APRIL PROJECTS

Hi there!!! Happy Friday the 13th!!!

Last week and this week has been very busy for us
but we are having so much fun. We spent our Easter at Las Vegas, stayed
there for 4 days and 3 nights :) and then we went to Legoland.
My kids spring break is almost over and we wanted to make sure they
had a blast!

I will share you some photos soon but for now here are my NIKKI SIVILS

projects for this month and a few close ups.

First up is "You Bring Me So Much Joy"

I used EXIT HERE line and love the colors of this collection. I also used the clouds and heart from basically bare, twines from The Twinery, and blings from Want2Scrap. This was inspired by one of Allison Davis sketches from SKETCH SUPPORT.

This next layout "Beautiful Smiles" is my dear son, Justin, and my cousin photo taken last November. I used the fun NOAH line. I love how the heart and tie in the middle look.

The ties are from Noah's Closet Cut-Ups and i used the NS Alpha stickers for my title.

I added some twines from The Twinery  and blings from Want2Scrap. By the way, Beacon

Fabri-Tac is the best glue for sticking the twines (love this stuff!). this was also inspired by one of ALLISON DAVIS skecth from SKETCH SUPPORT.

Last but not the least is "You Are So Fabulous" layout, inspired by My Creative Sketches sketch for March. Love the combination of pink and blue with a touch of yellow

 from NS AUDREY line.

this paper line is indeed just fabulous and i love it! Of course, who else is in this photo but my

sweet daughter, Jylian. I did some layering and added some bling from Want2Scrap. I just love how quick and simple this layout came together.

Well, that is it for me for now. i still have a few projects to share with you and hopefully I'll be able to share it with you today. Be sure to visit & check out NIKKI SIVILS blog daily for some inspiration from the Divas. I still have to edit my photos from Vegas and Legoland.

I also, want to spend some time to craft but my creative mojo is a bit low so we'll see what happens.

Thank you very much for stopping by my blog.

Have a great Friday the 13th again!!!

God bless.

hugs and lots of love,

If you've already been to NIKKI SIVILs blog you have probably seen these

three cards I created using the AUDREY line. I rarely do cards but the AUDREY die cut punch-outs and cut-ups made it super easy to create this cards. I've used two of my favorite color twines from

THE TWINERY, Maraschino and Lemondrop, to add that special touches on my cards.

Here they are again-

But wait! I actually created a couple more layout for the blog swap and here they are-

First up is my "Close-Up Shots" layout.

On this layout I used NIKKI SIVILS EXIT HERE line. I just love the versatility of this line.

You can definitely use the beautiful papers for non-outdoor theme photos

like what i did in this layout with the photos of my two boys.

This layout was also inspired by one of ALLISON DAVIS  sketches from her

super easy to use sketch book from SKETCH SUPPORT.

The Mandarin colored twine from THE TWINERY is a perfect addition to tie off the whole layout.

Next up is my "SWEET RIDE" layout.

On this layout I used NIKKI SIVILS NOAH line and just love it! I also used another of ALLISON DAVIS sketch form SKETCH SUPPORT on this one. Another photo of my two boys who enjoys riding their bike in the park but in this case as you can see my Joseph loves getting his sweet ride from his big brother. I used both the Maraschino and Peapod color twines and let me just tell you that THE TWINERY twines really compliment NIKKI SIVILS papers very well. 

Well there you have it, i hope i have inspired you to get creative. Be sure to check both NIKKI SIVILS and THE TWINERY blog to be inspired by the design team members beautiful creations and join the fun and win some  yummy scrappy goodies!!!
