a little card & some fancy pants hopscotch love

Hi Everyone!

Happy World Card Making Day! Hope you guys have been hopping around the blogs the past few days, as there's so much inspiration everywhere and loving everyone's cards. Just in case you're in need of more inspiration... do check out Fancy Pants Blog as they're participating in the blog hop. And sharing a card that I created for my Fancy Pants assignment earlier this month... using the sweet Hopscotch collection!

And pretty much once I started creating with this collection, I just couldn't stopping and created this layout in no time. Keeping things simple but yet having fun with layering and layering and yes more layering. I absolutely love that floral pattern paper (it's those cute blue daisies) and thus opt to use it as focal point for the layout. Then where color meets natural (kraft), I wanted to use that area to highlight my picture and all the fun layering details (putting my sizzix machine and hermes baby typewriter to some good use here too).

Thanks everyone for stopping by and hope you guys are having a great weekend!

Keeping Track w/ Fancy Pants

Hi Guys,  Sharing a another and simple project that I created to help myself keep track of things... lately with all the various activities going on... I have to admit that time seems to have disappeared on me. I could have sworn that yesterday was just Monday... LOL



Created using the fun Summer Soul collection from Fancy Pants Design and some random yummy goodies from Studio Calico (stamp set & wooden embellishments)...



Got to admit that I just love how the pages turned out with the punched border on top, wouldn't have thought that it would have created such a fun effect ... will definitely be doing this more in the future..









Thanks again everyone for stopping by and off to scribble in my little journal here...

And have you seen the sneaks of the latest collection from Fancy Pants... how gorgeous is this collection and those dreamy colors! Can't wait to start cutting into this collection.... Time for Spring Collection



Also don't forget to stop by my previous post HERE for a chance at winning a seat to BPC Living A Dream Class (definitely one you don't want to miss out on).  **wink**

Fancy Pants Love Story

Sharing some Fancy Pants - Love Story projects today! With valentine day around the corner, I couldn't resist grabbing a few sheets of this super sweet collection for a little of love.

The first one here is a 8.5" x 11" layout using some of the pattern papers and border stickers from the collection; the flowers and cute felt brad is from the its the little things collection (one of my all time favorite collection - I just can't get enough of the text pattern paper...lol).

In making this layout, I also realized that we haven't been taking a lot of pictures together lately on our trips and that we get so caught up on all the amazing surroundings or each other (LOL) that we keep forgetting the together part. Note to self: more together pictures!!!

I also got my silhouette out for some cutting fun and once again used the circle heart file and along with the one for the word you (circle heart, you); just adore everything that Karla Dudley designs.





And also created these simple tags that can be reproduced in no time...  and would be perfect to pass around for valentine's day.







Thanks for stopping by everyone!!!

Fancy News, AC Shares & Winner Details!

Hi Everyone, hope you're having an amazing weekend. I've got a few things to share today... starting with this fun "fancy" news.  I'm so honored to be part of the Fancy Pants Pocket Chick Team for 2012 - thank you Jodi and Amy for this amazing opportunity; and I've been having tons of fun with the new collections (you guys are going to love them)!!!

And sharing some projects that I created earlier this year, using some American Crafts - Amy Tangerine collection.  Also this year, I've decided to jump on the project life bandwagon but will be adapting it a bit to what works best for me. The idea is to still capture everyday moments - the good and the bad, the little things in life and of course, those important dates and topics too. I've opted for a 6"x8" layout size and will be using bits and pieces from my current stash.  Also part of the approach is to create the pages before hand, leaving room for the pictures and journaling, so that when something comes up I could record the details right away.

Here are some about my recent trip to Penang, where I had the pages done before the trip and once I came back (and while the details were still fresh) - I had these done in flash...











GIVEAWAY WINNER DETAILS
Also thanks everyone for all your comments on my 2011 Summary Post and especially for sharing some of your resolutions for 2012. (I still need to put mine together, ooops). And now the lucky two winners of the Amy Tangerine daybooks are...

      



A big congrats ladies and please email me your mailing address so I can get these in the mail for you.
And wishing everyone a great weekend and thanks for stopping by.
