Yup! It's me again and for the third time LOL!
Please do scroll down to see my previous post for

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.

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

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,

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!!!

SECOND TUESDAY OF THE MONTH = NIKKI SIVILS LOVE

Good Day! Wow! it's been more than 10 days since i posted anything here.
How was your weekend? I hope you all had a great weekend and a very creative since it was National Scrapbooking Day last Saturday.
I was off Saturday, after 9 days of working straight so I didn't really had the chance to scrap
because i was so beat up from work but later in the day I spend some much needed
quality time with my family. We went to church, ate dinner at Pat and Oscars restaurant, and watched
the awesomest movie ever the Avengers!
Here are a few snapshots of our dinner-

It's the second Tuesday of the month so that means- I am up at NIKKI SIVILS blog to share a couple of layout I created and the whole month of May we are  celebrating
SKETCH SUPPORT of Allison Davis all month long
and here are my takes on her awesome sketches-

"It's A Watermelon Kinda Day!"
 I used NIKKI SIVILS NOAH line on this layout and just love how the colors
are so perfect with the colors in my photos. Oh yes, I did dusted off
my Cricut machine and used it to cut out the watermelons.





 "Meet My Whacky Family":
 Another great sketch from Allison Davis and this one is from her new book Sketches for Scrapbooking one-page sketches. I used MESSAGES collection and i just love it that even
though I used my winter photos, the warm colors of the MESSAGES papers still looks good together.




And I didn't had the chance to share this card I created using
another sketches from SKETCH SUPPORT. I used the sweet AUDREY line and did a little bit of stamping and hand-stitching  so here it is-


I just wanted to personally thank Allison Davis of SKETCH SUPPORT for letting us
create with her beautiful sketches. Thank you Allison!
Please be sure to visit NIKKI SIVILS  blog and SKETCH SUPPORT blog to see more amazing creations using Sketch Support sketches.
Thank you so much again for visiting my blog and
Have a wonderful day!

I'm back! I'm trying to get as much scrapping as i can.
I feel good because i haven't spend any money to buy any scrappy stuff except for the monthly kit that i get. I really hope I can keep this up because I really have to use and finish up everything I have.
Enough of the chit chat i have another layout done using more MY MIND'S EYE

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.
