Authentique and Basic Grey

Hi Everyone!!! Got a couple shares for you all today. :D I have been crafting! It feels so great to be scrapping on a regular basis. But after I get this up I have some major house cleaning to do! :P

First of all I wanted to share with you my very first Authentique Paper layout! :D Yay! It is up on the Authentique blog today for our first challenge as a DT! You should totally come check it out as the DT just did an amazing job with the sketch! Hope you all get a chance to play along as we would love to see what you do with the sketch too!

On this layout I mixed a couple different lines, using my favs from them. :D It is so awesome how well all the lines work together! I put my own twist on the sketch for the challenge, while still somewhat keeping the basic design. This layout is sized 8x8.


And a few close ups...

Next I have just a real quick share for ya. A layout that I just finished yesterday and barely got sent off in time for the BG DT Call! :D Yep that is right, I just couldn't resist!! Who can though right? I LOVE BG, and have wished they would do a DT call for a long while now.

I had intended on creating more than just one new layout, but ran out of time. It takes me a while to do a layout and I just didn't have enough time to get all I had wanted done for this call's deadline. Oh well. :D I will have some more time this week to work on more of them.

I made this layout using several different BG collections: Nook and Pantry, Out of Print and Basics. I used my absolute fav things from my fav lines on this layout and really love how it turned out. :D I was tempted to put some of my Prima flowers on it but decided to keep it pretty much just paper instead, and I am glad I did!

And here are some close ups...


I sent several other layouts with my submission, and I am hoping they loved them as much as I do! :D I sent these:







And also these 4 projects from waaay back when I was with Scrapbook Nook:

Simply Crate!

Hi everyone!!! Morning! First I wanted to thank you all so much for your sweet comments! They mean the world to me! :D

I am so excited this morning because my first tutorial for the Crate Paper blog is finally up today!!! :D I LOVE this layout that I made and really worked hard on typing out thorough instructions on how to make it.

I was assigned a Simply Crate, which means you are only supposed to use a limited amount of supplies in order to keep it simple. And this is a HUGE challenge for me! But I really really had a lot of fun with this one, and created something I am so happy with.

Be sure to check out the Crate Paper blog if you would like to remake this layout yourself! :D Take care!

Authentique Paper Design Team!!

Hi yall!! Been a little bit since I have been back and posting. Sorry bout that! I have all these posts that are half done that I just need to finish up and then I can schedule them. :P I have a bad habit of starting them but just not finishing them at all on the time schedule I had planned. LOL! Anyone else like that?

Anyway, I have some awesome news that I am actually a few days late in sharing.....I am a designer for the new paper company Authentique Paper!!!


I put my name in for this call (almost completely last minute!) and I got an email from them the other day! I am very excited and honored to be a part of this company's new adventure, and can't wait to get started! I really do think their lines are gorgeous and am especially in love with all the alpha and text stickers! :D I am a sucker for those!

Here are a few of my favs from their 6 new lines!!





















Awesome stuff right?! Hopefully I will have some projects to show you soon, but right now I am still awaiting my box! :D Getting things all ready for it to arrive though!

Hope you all are well! I will be back real soon with some more scrappy shares, and also an update on the girlies! We had a 6 month birthday recently and I have the most adorable pictures of Aurelia eating her first birthday cake! :D See you again soon!
