Friends w/ Moxxie

Hello!
Today I'm using the new A Night to Remember line from Moxxie.

 
It's perfect for those Prom/dance memories and has such an awesome feel to it with the disco balls and bright colors on a black background. 
  My oldest is 15 and (luckily) not dating yet, so I didn't have any recent pictures that fit the "theme". I did, however, have an adorable friends photo of my younger daughter with 3 of her buddies.


I honestly feel like this line was made for this photo! (even tho it wasn't lol)
I used this fun sketch from My Scraps & More made by my friend Wendi.
Thanks for stopping by! :)Ange

Challenges are fun!

I found a new challenge blog that looks like a lot of fun!
Do you do challenges? I like them because they make you think outside the box and get you creating something you might not have come up with on your own. I always love to look at my layouts that I do using a challenge and compare them to the ones I do w/o challenges. Often I find new techniques (or remember old ones) I like and start including them on a regular basis.

The challenge site is called 1 2 3 Get Scrappy.
They have a fun tic tac toe challenge every month where you can enter layouts or mini albums and wonderful design team projects to inspire you! They have past challenges up you can check out and do for fun, but their next challenge should be up on the 10th.

I'm excited to see this month's challenge. Come check it out with me. 123 Get Scrappy
And they're having  a dtcall!

Happy Easter w/ Moxxie

 Hi! Are you ready to start thinking spring and bunnies? I know I'm looking forward to the warmer weather of spring.
Today I am showing you a layout I made using the new, totally awesome Easter-rific line from Moxxie! I LOVE this line!!! It definitely gets you in the mood for Spring.


 And when I saw this gorgeous flowered paper, Think Spring, I knew it would be perfect for the 5x7 photo I had of ALL (yes all! even the 14yr old!!) of my kids with the Easter Bunny at our local hunt last year.
All of the details and closeups are on the Moxxie blog. I would love for you to stop by and check it out.
Thanks, Ange

Amazing w/ BG Capture & NAS

 Hello!  I have a super cute layout using Basic Grey's Capture line & a fantastic Nuts sketch! This line is so fun. Totally built for those everyday moments that don't always fit under a particular theme. I used some photos of my husband doing pushups with one of our boys on his back and the other helping him balance. It's about the little things, right?


That sticker is what made me choose this line for these photos. Perfect! Everything you see is from the line except the ink and twine. You can see the sketch HERE. As you can see I turned it to fit with the orientation of my photos. I also added the border strip. I really look at sketches as a great starting off point to get the page going. From there if it ends up looking like the sketch great and if not, still great. lol
 Here are some closeups:


Here you can see that fun sticker at work, along with some others that I thought went well with the photos.

For my title I used the "You're so Amazing" tag sticker and backed it on another pp before adhering it with foam adhesive to give it some pop. I love the circle stickers and rings, they go well with the main design. I used sketch #302 from Nuts About Sketches for this layout. Head to their blog to see more fun examples.

Thanks for stopping by!

Mohawk Love

 So, when all the hustle and bustle is over and you find yourself with an overabundance of Christmas scrapping supplies, what do you do with them? Use them of course! 
Kristin asked us to make something Valentine's theme and while this isn't exactly Valentine's I figured it was pretty darn close. So here's a little Mohawk Love for you:


 I started with a kraft background, put some mist on it and then added papers from DCWV's Jolly Whimsy stack. Yep, Christmas, but look how perfectly they fit into this love theme!


For the diamond mat, all I did was cut along the design of the paper. Then I cut some of the smaller diamonds out and added them to my layout for embellishment. You can see one in the closeup above popped out of the mat using foam adhesive.
I'm a washi addict and I love using it to frame my layouts. Gives it a great finished look, don't you think?

Do you have extra letter stickers leftover? Yep, the entire title is from Echo Park's Christmas Reflections line. Last I added my journaling and my date with a date stamp. (love them!) I used a sketch by Lanette Erickson from 3 Scrappy Boys for this layout.

Thanks for looking and happy scrapping!
