Summer Journal - Midori Stlye

Hi and thanks for dropping in today!

A few weeks ago I ordered a Websters Pages Craft Folio in a sunny yellow with a pineapple on it, I mean how could  I not. The folio came with lots of embellishments too and also a trasvellers notebook. As soon as I saw it I knew I wanted to turn it into a summer journal.

I added some journaling cards from the Dear Lizzy Happy Place collection on the cover and one of the fun tassels.

On the inside page I added the Summer To Do List from the same collection and added some Dear Lizzy gold letters to the list.

My first layout is from our first visit to the beach and some cute Floaties I bought.

You can see the video on how I set it up here:

Dance Mom Planner Pages Part 3

I finally got my last Dance Mom pages made and printed.  My son also takes voice lessons and does a lot of recitals so I needed to add a specific page for that.

These pages are more for the recitals and more general things that is why I left lots of space for special notes.

I added some patterned paper, Dear Lizzy puffy heart stickers and Maggie Holmes resin flower to pretty them up.

If you are interested in adding these pages to your planner please send me a request and I will email the PDF for you to use for free.

Thanks for stopping by.

Easter Treats

One of my favorite things to make are little treat bags for my son's class.  I found this super cute and easy cut file on the Silhouette Store and knew it would make great little treat boxes.

I cut the file from Dear Lizzy Serendipity patterned paper and put them together.  

No bunny is complete without a cute little bunny tail.  I used the Epiphany Crafts Shape Studio Tool Round 14 and bubble caps to make them.

 Happy Easter.

Thanks for stopping by.

Friends

I love the look of the hand cut titles from patterned paper I have been seeing on Pinterest and wanted to give it a go.  My friend and I finally made it out for a birthday dinner and snapped this Usie.

I challenged myself to use a bright cardstock for my background which is something I don't do very often. I cut the title from the Dear Lizzy Serendipty 6x6 paper pad.

To finish it off I added a few layers of patterned paper, washi tape and embellishments.

Have you tried this new trend yet?

Thanks for stopping by.

Quotes

I am always pinning inspirational quotes on Pinterest and decided to make a little mini filled with some of my favourites.

I cut some 6x6 patterned paper to 4x6 and instead of binding it together I used a cute paper clip to keep the pages together

I used the fun Dear Lizzy Serendipity collection to make this.

I printed out some of my favorite quotes on 3x5 card stock and attached them to the paper with some fun washi tape.

What's your favourite quote?

Thanks for stopping by.

Planner Pages

I am having so much fun decorating my planner - I thought I would share one of my March planner pages. I used some Washi Tape along the bottom and some Dear Lizzy puffy stickers for embellishments

For the top I cut out some of the cut apart sheet and used a Maggie Holmes bobby pin clip as a page marker.

I love that this is something I can do on the go or in front of the TV.  I just use the Craft folio and take some cute supplies along with me.

I also wanted to share how I am doing my monthly page.  I am trying to keep it pretty simple and just write in important information and dates.

I also shared this photo on Instagram it's my really messy desk lol.

Thanks for stopping by.

You & Me

My son and I were born on the same day, we both love Unicorns and cute things and have curly hair.  We have a lot more than that in common too!

He is always making me laugh and is an entertainer at heart!

I used the Dear Lizzy Serendipity collection to create this layout.  We take a selfie together every year on our birthday - it will be fun to scrapbook those all one one page.

I layered the tags from the cut apart sheet down the side of the photo and added the fun xo puffy stickers and some matching ink splatters.

This was such a fun page to make.

Scrapbook Nerd March Tutorial - Gift Card Holders

I am up on the Scrapbook Nerd Blog today with my March Tutorial - Gift Card Holders.  These are so simple to make and so cute!  First up you will need a 6x6 paper pad (I am using Dear Lizzy Serendipity), a bone folder and some embellishments.  That's it!

Take a 6x6 piece of patterned paper and fist score in half at 3".

Rotate the paper and score again at 4".

Fold the paper up along the 4" score line.

Then fold in half along the 3" score line and voilà a little gift card holder.  I use double sided thin tape to secure the edges closed.

Tear off the paper strips at the top of the 6x6 paper pad and attach them along the bottom of the front.

Then add a cute saying from the cut apart sheet.  I also added some fun Washi tape to my gift card holders.

Add an embellishment to finish it off and a gift card to the inside. 

If I am going to give a gift card as a present I like to personalize it with a cute gift card holder like these.  I always try and have a few on hand.

To add more fun to some of the cards I added glossy accents and glitter like on these cute doughnuts.

Thanks for stopping by.
