Today was my turn for the Thursday Trends post on the Pink Paislee blog . One trend I see popping up everywhere is BURLAP. While I'm not about to don a scratchy skirt (ouch!) or purchase a grainsack couch, I can join in on this fun trend by adding a bit of burlap to my pages. :) I used the beautiful, Bayberry Cottage collection to scrap this page of my husband walking on the beach with our children. I love the way the burlap contributes to the beach-y, casual feeling I was going for. The flowers were created by pleating the Teal Artisan tape into a circle and then glueing it to a punched cardstock circle base. And you know what I can't get enough of? Those beautiful, faceted Bella Brads . LOVE the way they catch the light! Thanks for coming by today, Friends! See you again soon!

I'm sharing for Sketch it Out Thursday on the Crafty Maven Getaway today. After looking over the inspiration piece I knew immediately I'd use the new PhotoPlay Paper Summer Daydreams collection. It was a perfect fit for my Olaf photos so then I was off to find a sketch. Here's a look at the process. If you're reading in email click the link below.

The minute I opened my Charm School Kit I fell head over heels for the gumdrop brads by We R Memory Keepers. I mean . . . how cute are they?!! :) I have been saving them for a special page where I could use the entire package as page elements. I decided to mount them on punched circles and scatter them down the right side of my page . . . sort of like falling snowflakes. :) And here is the result! And here is a sketch to go along with it. Here is a closer look at the details I bought these delicious, glittery Scrapworks Chipboard letters from Noel's shop and love the way they tie in with the sparkle of the gumdrop brads! I'd love to see your take on my sketch! Link us up here in the comments of this post, or come and show your creation to us in the Noel Mignon Forum. See you again soon! Jana Eubank

I have a few Basic Grey projects to share... first up we have this page created for the sketch challenge that's on NOW! "magic moments" Materials: Basic Grey "Whats Up" papers and embellishments Here's what I had to say - “I really liked the look of this sketch especially because it gave you plenty of opportunity to use a heap of photos, sometimes that’s rare for me. But this time I wanted to just step out of my comfort zone. I used papers and embellishments from what’s up. I adore the pattern and colours in this collection and am a massive fan of those wooden buttons.” ...and the sketch... Now it’s your turn! We’d love to see what you create from this week’s sketch. Leave a comment on the Basic Grey Blog with a link to your project and we’ll select one comment at random to receive a $10 credit to shop at basicgrey.com. Comment must be posted by July 15, 2012 at 11:59p MST. If you upload your layout to your blog or online gallery, we hope you’ll also upload it to our BasicGrey flickr pool and note what products you’ve used so that other BG fans can find inspiration from your work easily. --------------------------------------------- Hello everyone! I have a fabulous birthday card for you all. If you are anything like me you like a bit of texture and dimension on your projects. This is where my punches come in and a little folding technique. I love how something so simple can pack a punch. So now it times to show you how I made that fabulous paper flower on the front of this birthday card. Start off by making your base. Cut a piece of Good Afternoon patterned paper to measure 15cm x 15cm Trim Jasmine Tea pattern paper to measure 14.5cm x 14.5cm – adhere to base of card. Trim Friendly Greeting to measure 12cm x 12cm, mat to remaining Jasmine Tea paper. Adhere to card. Machine stitch a border for extra detail. Arrange and adhere paper doily. "happy birthday" Materials: Basic Grey Konnichiwa papers and embellishments Now just follow these simple steps to create your flower : Use 2”circle punch and punch out 6 circles from the pagoda pattern paper. Fold each punch circle in half and score. Unfold and use the scored centre as a guide. Fold the sides in leaving you with a cone shape. Arrange cones on matt doily and then adhere. Stack 2 buttons and hand stitch in place. Slide you finger into each of the cones and lift gently. Make a pennant from scraps of paper and place alpha stickers on. Add extra detail by machine stitching a line. Adhere your pennant using some 3D foam. Finish your card off by adding a couple of pins. Don’t forget you can use any size circle punch you have on hand to create a variety of looks. ----------------------------------------------------- and this page "the easter egg hunt" Materials Used: Basic Grey kissing booth papers and embellishments and with the leftovers from the page above I punched out a heap circles using assorted punches and made this paper mobile for jorja's room. "paper mobile" Materials used: Basic Grey kissing booth papers, sewing hoop, ric rac and a button OK ... that's all for today, I do have a few more basic grey pages to share so I will be back... Thanks for popping by - Miss wally xxx

Hi Friends! I have had so much fun working with my Noel Mignon Trailblazer kit this month. I have two more camping-themed pages using this kit to share with you today! This first page features my son
When Jill at A Million Little Things asked if I would join them for the month of November and provide a sketch for their Sketch Challenge I was THRILLED!!! I have been shopping at A Million Little Things for years. She *always* has the latest-and-greatest up on her site the minute it is available. It's the perfect place to find what you need! On the A Million Little Things blog, Jill asked me a few spotlight questions. If you'd like to see that you can CLICK HERE. :) You can also see the sketch I provided for the month. The deadline is in TWO WEEKS, November 27th. So there is plenty of time to play for a chance at one of Jill's FABULOUS prizes. I created three layouts based on the sketch (rotating it in different directions). These pages feature a mix of manufacturers: Basic Grey (Nook & Pantry), Sassafras Lass, Prima, Hambly, October Afternoon Letter stickers, and a flower by Bella Blvd. TEA PARTY - All Maryn could talk about this year was having a "fancy" tea party with her friends. It was such a fun day and the girls were so cute and "proper." GOOFY - Jensyn loves to pull silly faces when I'm trying to take a picture of her. I don't think this stage is going to end anytime soon! LOL! YOU - One morning I walked into my bedroom to find Camryn snoozing on a pillow. It was so cute because before she fell asleep she made little pillow-bed for each of her stuffed animals. So sweet! :) Thanks for stopping by! Have a great weekend! Jana
