Supplies

Sarah Jane 12 x 12 Double-sided Paper

Sarah Jane Die-cuts

Sarah Jane Journaling Stickers

Sarah Jane Brade

Ink, glitter glue and sewing machine

We love this adorable pinwheel she created with the paper and layered with a die-cut and pinwheel brad.  

It is all about the small touches - how great are those star die-cuts covered with a little glitter glue!

Thanks Kris!  We can't wait to have you featured again!

Card Inspiration! Sarah Jane Collection

Today we have two adorable cards to share with you!  These were both created using parts of the Sarah Jane Collection and Modern Millinery Collection, with old MM goodies.  Can you believe it is practically fall?  Where did summer go?

Did we mention that you can find Sarah Jane at your local scrapbook store!  It has shipped. 

"Thank you" Card

We were inspired by this gorgeous card from pinterest and wanted to re-create this adorable card.  You first create a gatefold card and cut out little mini banners out of patterned papers. Attach every other one to each side of the gatefold and embellish!

"Beautiful" Card

Next we were inspired by buttons. Combining a variety of buttons to create this adorable card and finishing it off with word stickers!

Summer Inspiration Layout - Banners and Paint

We have been loving all of the layouts with the spray misting and wanted to try something different with just adding paint.  We have created this fresh fun summer layout with a mix of colors.  

Have a great [hot] summer day!

Inspiration - Modern Millinery Layout

We wanted to share some inspiration on this lovely Monday!  Today we have a 12" x 12" layout combining Making Memories Modern Millinery Collection and Making Memories Je t'Adore Collection.  

We used a 12" x 12" cream cardstock for the base of the layout.  Then we chose pattern paper that matched our photo and the colors we wanted for the layout.  Teal, Orange and Pink with hints of green.  

Out of the pattern papers we cut banners that we could layer underneath the focal point photo.  Out of the green paper we created a photo mat for our 4" x 6" photo.

Last we embellished the layout with the Je t'Adore embellishment box and added a simple handwritten title.

Supplies

Have a great Monday!
