As promised, I’m back with the February work I did for Simple Scrapper!

I had a blast with my Story Starter LO – I was playing around with Prima Water Soluble Oil Pastels while working on my Favourite Things class and the colours seemed perfect for these pics:

The title is made up of two different puffy Thickers in awesome colours:

And there’s a ton of texture with the rolled edges of the paper, the washi tape, the Thickers, the oil pastels, and doodling on the embellishments:

My template LO this month is also one of the LO’s I’m teaching at The Paperie for the February Kit Class. It’s a great class if you want to make some LO’s and it uses some of the supplies from their February page kit. Of course, there will be tons of product left over to play with later too!

Lots of fabulous words and phrases on this one:

And my fave, lots of shimmer and shine from the metallic words, embellishments, and washi tape!

Don’t forget to check out what the rest of the team did this month and remember, there’s always lots of inspiration on our Pinterest board!

Cheers!

12 on Twelve

The 12 on Twelve project is one I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of. I really love these little snippets of what’s going on once a month. Sometimes it’s exciting, like when I was in Vancouver to visit my brother last November, and other times it’s just a regular old day. They’re still the best fun to do and look over every month!

1. Breakfast of my favourite cereal – Cheerios!

2. Typical and standard monthly porch selfie.

3. Green shoes today – giving my red ones a break.

4. Melting snowman!

5. snack time for the kiddies – goldfish, raisins, and Cheerios.

6. Rosie, in her favourite spot, getting a good scratch going.

7. Gabe did a lot today; first was adding pieces to his DIY Trebuchet from Uncle Graham,

8. then we played Scrabble,

9. after that was building a car with snap circuits,

10. and picking up blocks with the front end loader,

11. ending with running away from me and my camera!

12. Gym time with my girls on a night when I was so thankful they were around – they are the best!

Cheers!

Layouts, Simple Scrapper

So….. I’m alive! Is anyone still out there?

Sorry for the unannounced two month hiatus but I’m back and have some fun things to catch you up on and share, starting with Simple Scrapper news. January marked my 3 year anniversary with them and I love the company, the Team, and Jennifer, the owner, more now than ever! They really are fabulous and the Membership materials and value just keep increasing exponentially! Plus, we have added some amazing talent to the Team including my good friend Cathy Caines! I was thrilled to learn she made it – her work is just incredible, as is the work of the other designers so make sure you check my side bar to scope them all out.

You may have noticed I didn’t post any LO’s for Simple Scrapper during December and that’s because we did a huge issue of the monthly Member’s magazine, Spark, and filled it with past LO’s, information about all the designers, our signature styles, favourite products and tools, and so much more! It was fabulous. My favourite so far.

But I’m back now with the January LO’s so enjoy!

The Story Starter LO was all about my mom (and me!):

I used my favourite paper and Thickers, both from Amy Tangerine, as well as some awesome gold alphas:

And I had fun with lots of layers and bits to embellish:

My template LO for January features a picture of one of my besties and I just as we got off the plane in Mexico last summer. Best trip ever!

I used some little phrase stickers and most awesome cork stars to finish this one off:

And that was January! I’ll be back soon with the February LO’s, plus my 12onTwelve pics and details on the two main classes I’ll be teaching at The Paperie this year! Lots of good stuff to come and the share soon!
