Aida's Blue and Simple
As you can see I've used three photos to show my daughter's passion for her music and her belief she will succeed in this field. She's not a girlie-girl, a feminine color would not suit her personality and instead I opted for a soft blue of the Blink Collection. I drew a strong black border to frame the photos and papers and added a few jeweled brads to give the layout the bling factor.
Simple, finished in minutes and you will have a lasting moment to keep !
Thank you for joining me here, I'll see you soon.

I've been scrapbooking for over 10 years, teaching for 7 and I just love every aspect of the craft-- the sharing, the friendships, getting my fingers inky, the enjoyment of my family when they look through our books, and the therapeutic value of "creating". I have two kids, ages 11 and 3, and a wonderfully supportive (and sometimes scrappy) husband. Five years ago I became a "mostly" stay-at-home mom -- I do work from home though my scrapbooking classes. I have two B.A.s and a Master's Degree, am a veteran of the Army, was an Arabic Linguist, and do volunteer work through Girl Scouts and other organizations. I love comedy, reading, and baking.I am currently on several design teams as well as an endorsed educator for serval top manufacturers.I love bold colors, silly accents, and household items like buttons, twine, and fabric...anything crafty, count me in!

Hi there, I live in Billerica, Massachusetts with my husband and two wonderful kids, Christopher and Maggie. I have been addicted to scrapbooking for over 12 years and just love it. I have my own sketch blog called My Sketch World ( http://mysketchworld.blogpost.com/ ) , designer for Scrapbook News and Review Magazine and design for various online stores/kits sites. I have been published at Scrapbook Trends and have taught at CK Convention and my local LSS. I am happy to parth of this and working with Urban Lily Products.

I really love that with one piece of paper, your page is almost ready! :D
For the background I used Sushi by Urban Lily - Everyday Lily Collection then as a "mat" for my picture I used the pink circle of the Sugarhigh - Mooch Collection by Urban Lil; finally as a visual accent I opted for the bottom decorated of the Memory Photocards - Polka Dot by Urban Lily As a part of the title I used Alphabet by Urban Lily; finally I added some glitter letters to complete it!
Of course I used Helmar adhesive runner! (love it)

Just a Little Baby Love
The smallerr circle elements were punched out of a sheet of Breeze By / Urban Lily paper. I inked the edges of the blue circles and spritzed them with Shimmerz paints. I used one of the Luna Memory Cards to frame the photo.

Pinkalicious Project
I would like to share one of my recent projects using the bright and beautiful papers of Urban Swank. In my layout, I used the Lulliloo Collection.
I used this sketch taken from Sketchy Thursdays.
...and I created this layout using Urban Swank:
Honestly, I didn't really need to do much to make this layout come to life. The beautiful papers do all the work! I especially LOVE the pink colors in this collection. It makes for pinkalicious projects!
Hugs,
sarah.

Happy Monday: I hope you have been inspired by all the creations brought to you by these fabulous girls. I like to alter the world and this project, I altered 6 inch tiles for a plate rack. My little girl Malia was the most beautiful baby. This paper is perfect for a baby girl. I used Bazzill bling for the base and photo mats for the tiles. The Helmar V2 adhesive spray works perfect for attaching the paper to the tiles.
The first tile I cut out the extra flowers from the Sushi stripe paper added some Paper flowers, leaves and bling. The swirl is just chipboard painted and distressed. Layer all of the elements and add foam dots.
The Second Tile I cut the circle out of the Sushi Stripe paper and added the picture behind. The whole tile is covered in cardstock first. Used cut out flowers and papers flowers to enhance the circle cutout photo.
I hope you find this project inspiring.
Have a Scrappy Day
