The Weather Is A-Changing

Hello faithful blog readers! I love this time of year! Here in Colorado we're still experiencing mid 80 days, still so gorgeous! But we also know our time of warmer days is ending. Already we're losing leaves on some trees and our Aspens are changing colors.

3 Birds has amazing products you can use to help document your own Autumn memories. Take a look at this layout I created.

To me when I think of Autumn I think of yellows, oranges and blues. So when I saw these patterned papers in the Focus On Photos kit I knew I had exactly what I wanted to use! What I love about the patterned papers in this kit is that I can cut them apart to use bits and pieces of them to create one of a kind accents. In fact I used 4 different papers from the kit. Can you tell? Each of them work so well together and come together so cohesively!

I also used the Paper Trails Complete Border Kit to use a one of a kind leaf border. I love that the kit comes in seasonal sections.





I'm all about adding dimension to my projects so I grabbed my favorite Zap Dots by Helmar USA to give dimension to both the leaf border and the leaf accent. Helmar offers several different sizes and heights of zap dots to use on all your projects!

Thanks for stopping by! Now get scrapping!

Babies :)

Hello. It feels nice to be back. Over here at my house we have babies on the brain, since we were blessed with a sweet baby girl almost three weeks ago. But it is not just us, we have several friends at church that are expecting as well. So I decided to make my friends some cards.

Both cards use patterned paper from the Focus on Photos paper pack, Must Have Cardstock and a stamp from the So Many Sentiments stamp set.

Hello Beautiful!

I am always looking for the perfect title or saying for my pages & love all the choices you have with 3birds products! I used the "Hello Beautiful" sticker from the Over Stuffed paper and sticker kit for my latest design. And the colors worked perfect with my photos! There are lots to work with in this kit and I am always discovering something new when I go through all the different pockets. I am also in love with the 3birds Papertrails diecuts. I used one of the beautiful scalloped edge borders on this design. Hope everyone has a great holiday & have fun scrapping!

No free time to scrap??

No problem! This is Ilene here, and today I want to show a LO that you can do in just about 10 minutes or less. I know I keep talking about how much I LOVE the Super Sticker Nestables, and there is a good reason for it - they make it sooooo easy to make cute, cohesive layouts fast! To create this LO, I used pp from the Focus on Photos pp pack - this one is great also, since a lot of the sheets already look like some layering has been done. On my LO here, it looks like I layered that flowery pp on top of the orange base pp, but it's really all one sheet. Also, the distressing around the edges was already done too, so I get a fun distressed look without all the work. Then, I used the new brights cardstock to mat the photos to give them a little pop. Glued them down, added a title, some of the super cute 3D embellies here and there, a little journaling...and that was IT. Yes, that's it!! I told you - fast, easy, and fun.



Supplies:
Patterned Paper: Focus on Photos
Cardstock: Must Have Brights
Embellishments: 3D Embellishments
Sticker (large heart and journaling spot): Super Sticker Nestables
