Who's On First from Leah Farquharson

Leah created an amazing layout full of energy.  Doesn't it just seem to burst off the page?

When I saw my husband sharing the timeless Abbott and Costello sketch, "who's on first?" who our sons, I just had to snap a quick shot with my iphone.I appreciate all of the little things that he does to be a good dad to them - and I love that we have actually reached that stage in their life when we just plain enjoy each other's company.

Papers from the Wren and Boy Meets Girl collections were perfect together to set a masculine tone for this page about my guys!

And Jenni's choice of such timeless elements as watch faces, buttons and stamps made this layout come together quickly.

as a paper scrapbooker, I'm always on the hunt for a paper trimmer that cuts straight. I have been seriously impressed by this one from Fiskars!

And even though I'm a bit of a novice stamper, I have a feeling that this has the potential to make me much better! I loved how easy it was to get the image that I stamped straight, and even.

Hope you're having an incredible week!

Christmas Tree Lapel Pin

Hi everyone just a quick post to share with you a fun and fast JBS project.  I used the Banner Mini Chipboard Pieces pieces and turned them up side down {starting to look like a tree:):)}and then covered with my favorite JBS pattern paper.  On mine I used Wren.  The tree trunk is made from a thickers letter.  I laid the tree and the tree trunk on felt and hot glued the pieces to the felt.  Then I cut around the tree and glueing the lapel pin on the back.

The tree star is the new Rhinestone stars.  They come in three colors silver, black and red!!!

These Christmas Tree lapel pins would look great on a special Christmas card or tag.

Have fun making them, they go together fast!!!! by~C. Mercer

CHA Layouts | Printed Tags

Lisa Dickinson created some wonderful layouts and cards for CHA this summer.  The layout below can be found in our Printing Press also, complete with supply lists and links. 

Printed Tags perforated paper

I was so happy to see more of the JBS Perforated Papers released at CHA! These papers made wonderful additions to a page and can be used as journaling spots, frames, textural embellishments and even backgrounds for layouts.  The Printed Tags have to be my favorite and adorned with some ribbon and Shadow Alpha Stickers, they become quick and easy mattes for photos:

CHA summer layout and mini album

It's been so fun seeing what the team created with the brand new supplies from this release! Today I wanted to share two projects that I made for the booth! The first is a layout using the stitched grid stamp:

And embellished with the chipboard quilt stars and tags!

I loved using the grid as a guide to stitch on the side of the page, and then fill all of the little spaces!

The last project that I created for the booth was a small book that I filled will all  kinds of goodies.

Here's a peek at a few of the inside pages:

Don't forget to keep checking in for more great projects all week!
