Basic Grey Origins

It's time for my February CT Reveal at A Cherry On Top. I have to admit that I have a really hard time scrapbooking with the color yellow. So why did I pick a line for my CT reveal that has lots of yellow in it? Because it's good to face your fears and challenge yourself. But with the Basic Grey Origins line everything came together so easily for me even when I used yellow as the main color. I finished all six of my reveal layouts in just a couple of days! After placing my CT order I immediately went through my photos pulling out ones that I thought would go with the Origins line. I had enough photos picked out for more then 20 layouts! LOL!....... Check out the rest of my CT Reveal Article for more details. Thanks for stopping by. :)

Wow I can't believe it's February already! It's a new month and that means a new set of monthly challenges at A Cherry On Top. Be sure and check out all the February challenges!
This is my card challenge: Create a Valentine's Day card with a decorative edge. You can use a border punch, trace a template, or even freehand your decorative edge. I used a piece of Bazzill scallop-edged cardstock to trace my edge. Can't wait to see what you do!

W R Memory Keepers MVP

I took these pictures of my son, Erik this past summer. It was his first time playing catcher and he loved it!! I was totally scared when I first saw Erik heading out to home plate because he looked so small in all of that padding. LOL! But he did a great job. I loved the photo on the left so much that I had to blow it up to a 8x12 and then on the right side I used 3 smaller photos and a journaling card. I haven't made a two page layout in awhile. Takes for stopping by and looking! :)

Bo Bunny Love Bandit

I have always been a huge fan of Bo Bunny and my credit card feels the blow with each of their new releases. I usually find it hard to pick a favorite line from all the new releases but this time the Love Bandit line called out to me. I totally love all the cute little critters, the colors and patterns are fantastic and all of the little sayings are darling. I love it ALL!!!
Here are the six layouts I created for my CT reveal at A Cherry On Top. Be sure and check out the rest of my CT Reveal Article HERE!
