Playing With Paper

Its another Design Team Monday for The Scrapoholic !  Before I get into my project, I just want to say how thankful I am for the cooler temperatures and rain we had here in Oklahoma today.  It has been miserably hot and dry for most of the summer now, so today's weather was a nice reprieve.  How sad is it that I'm looking forward to temperatures closer to 100 than 110 in the upcoming week?!  For my project I created a paperbag mini album with Jill's Palm Trees Collection.  I'm not sure what I'll do with it yet, so I left the inside kind of bare. I made extra little pockets with the flaps that are actually the bottom of the bags. I'll probably add some lined cardstock to the little flaps for journaling and dress the whole thing up a bit more. I did get my niece's wedding invitations and RSVP cards finished and ready for her to pick up today.  I was excited she let me do them for her, but I'm even more excited to be finished with them so she ...

Its another design team Monday with The Scrapoholic's  MTC/SVG files.  My sister and her kiddos just took a road trip to California.  She's been posting pictures along the way.  I saw this one and knew it would work great with Jill's Surfing and Waves files. The cardstock is from "the stash" with Perfect Paper Adhesive Gloss on top.  I used Smooch Spritz to sort of paint the frame.  I actually poured a little bit on a damp paper napkin and kind of blotted it on.  The frame is one I bought at Michael's a few years ago on clearance. I hope you enjoy my Monday Design Team project.  Have a Great Week!

It is stinkin' hot here in Oklahoma.  We're going on several days of temperatures above 100.  Definitely good weather to stay inside and create.  My dogs are the only ones that don't think its too hot to swim.  The pool water feels like leftover bathwater its so hot.  I'm definitely ready for some rain and cooler temperatures. I am sooo excited to be posting this today.  Its my first project for The Scrapoholic  and her MTC/SVG files.  Thank you Jill for choosing me for this Design Team group.  It is my first opportunity to be on a Design Team. The sun and cloud are from The Scrapoholic's "Sun n Clouds" MTC/SVG collection you can find on her blog.  The card is 6 x 6.  I used blue ink around the edges.  I used cardstock from "the stash" for all of it but the card base.  Its from Michael's Recollections brand (on sale this week 5 sheets for $1.00 for the .59 paper).  I glittered the sun with Lemon Drop ...
