Painted Pumpkins

Sadly, this is my last week as a DT for Scrap and Stamp Saturday. I will miss everyone on the team!

The theme this week is Halloween with stamping! Hope you all play along for your chance at a great prize!

Collage Press Design Team!!!!

Anyone that reads my blog regularly would know that I am head over heels in love with Collage Press. They are hands down my favorite manufacturer. I think that their design combinations of linear elements like grid and ledger paper and shabby chic flourishes and distressing is pure genious. It makes me happy to just look at their papers! Ever since I saw my first Collage Press papers, I KNEW I wanted to design for them.

Well.........I am HONORED and incredibly EXCITED to say that I am now a part of their ultra-fabulous design team!!!!!!

Here's the announcement:

Wow, what a dream come true for me. I couldn't be more proud!!! In the words of Collage Press, "Life is Sweet!"

This week, the DT at Scrap and Stamp Saturday had the honor of working with papers, sickers, candy dots, and ribbons from Pebbles!!! We recieved a generous collection of goodies...thank you Pebbles!! Our theme this week is to STAMP ON AN EMBELLISHMENT!! What fun! I stamped on my ribbon (see below). So make sure you make a layout with stamping on the embellishment and link back to the SSS site by Oct. 31 for your chance at a prize from Pebbles!!!

There are so many possibilities with this collection! On this one, I used several journal blocks. You can get your hands on these papers and embellies from Hip 2-b Square!!

My special project pack from Hip 2-b Square this month contained the fabulous Amber Road collection from Pink Paislee! I absolutely love the color combinations, designs, and fun embellishments that go with this line! Here's one layout that I made out of the goodies....

So Thankful

Stop by the Scrap and Stamp Saturday blog to participate in this weeks fun challenge - what you are thankful for. Remember to use some stamping on it too! I love these challenges because I get to use some of my older stamps, papers, and embellishments that have been sitting around and collecting dust for quite some time! Remember, each week we have a wonderful sponsor that donates a prize that you can win!

First Day of 4K - Sept. Hip Kit

I love how the Sept. Hip Kit included papers that could be used in a school themed layout! I hand sewed at the top using the floss included in the add-on kit. I also put a rub-on onto the ribbon and secured it with a paperclip, all of which are included in the kit!!

I Can Read - Sept. Hip Kit

This layout was made using only the Sept. Hip Kit from Hip 2-b Square. I cut out the letters from the letter paper to create a circle around the layout. I also used some of the Prima packaging as a journal block.

All Tied Up - Sept. Hip Kit

This layout features the Sept. Hip Kit and Add-on Kit from Hip 2-b Square! The add-on kit comes with fun floss in different colors, paint, pearls, rhinestones, and wonderful Prima flowers and stems! The possibilities are endless!

Stephen's Falls - Sept. Hip Kit

I loved all the different colored layouts that I could make with the Sept. Hip Kit from Hip 2-b Square! The green/charcoal/blue is a color combo that I've never used before and I like it!

My Classroom - Sept. Hip Kit!

The September Hip Kit from Hip 2-b Square was full of fun trinkets, embellishments and supurb papers! This layout uses the Hip Kit and the add-on kit.

September Hip Kit Cards

I love using up all my scraps when I'm done doing layouts from a kit. Making cards is the best way!!! These cards are all made using contents of the Sept. Hip Kit!

Just Ducky

Scrap and Stamp Saturday has an "end of summer" challenge for you this week! All you need to do is a layout about summer with stamping on it and link it back to the SSS blog by Oct. 16 for your chance at a wonderful prize! This week's prize is sponsored by My Heart Stamps 4 You! We got to play with some stamps from our sponsor this week! I thought the stamps matched quite well with this photo of Payton dancing on the beach!

Coral Beach

This week at Scrap and Stamp Saturday, the challenge is to use a quote and a stamp. My quote was, "Take only memories. Leave nothing but footprints." by Chief Seattle. The DT had the pleasure of working with wonderful BasicGrey products from our sponsor, Studio Calico! I had a great time on this layout!! I used sewing to create journal lines.

Pretty Polly

I love these Prima papers that were included in the Hip 2b Square Acrylic Mini Album!
