Papercraft Business April Challenge - Easter

The Papercraft Business Challenge for April is Easter. How lucky of us to have our very own Easter bunny! She is a rescue, and was quite literally born on Easter weekend almost two years ago! We love her, and she is so super sweet.

For this layout, I set my timer for 20 mins. I grabbed some Felicity Jane floral paper, stitched the white column paper edging, and kept the embellishments simple.

Let's Play with Layering Multimedia!

My Rainbow Chair

Catching up on last week's Scraplift Sunday, I did a reverse rainbow to @4momsed 's beautiful piece of art. I've been working on expanding past my usual neat layers and symmetrical elements. I'd say I'm pretty proud of myself for going way outside of my comfort zone!

This story is about my rainbow chair. When we went to visit Sean's aunt and uncle, she had this GORGEOUS custom reading room, the Rainbow Room. It inspired me to create a similar nook on a much smaller scale, of course. I bought and hung several etched crystal spheres in the window behind my chair, and the way the setting sun's setting light paints mini rainbows on us is just magical.

Papercraft Business March Challenge - Animals

I am so excited to post my second Papercraft Business Challenge! The challenge theme for March was animals 🐎. In the simple 30-min layout, I wrote about our magical multi-farm venture last October 🎃 using 1Canoe2 and Echo Park's Down on the Farm.

February Papercraft Business Challenge: Love!

I am so excited to post my very first Papercraft Business Challenge! The theme for February was love, or hearts, so naturally I did both, writing about our baby girl and how much joy she brings to our lives.

I don't usually dig pink, but I had just gotten in my American Crafts Head in the Clouds by Shimelle. So I painted my background, handstitched the empty space's outline, and fussy cut these beautiful roses. See if you can pop over to the Papercraft Business Challenge Blog, and join us for the fun!

Paper Issues January Sketch

Sliding home for Paper Issue's January sketch. I have very few photos of myself growing up, so this one of my dad on his birthday and I is extra special. I guess I *really* wanted to wear his birthday hat!

I have really been trying to power down on using up the 3 Amy Tangerine paper pads I bought from Tuesday Morning a couple of months ago. They are so easy to coordinate. They work well together, but also easily stand out!

Scraplift Sunday at Paper Issues

I apparently took LOTS of photos on our most recent Tucson trip (I just love this city!), and I had three remaining that were unscrapped. I used the scraplift sketch, turned it on its side, and voilà! Officially Tucson done!

Nerd for a day...

Stepping aside from the holidays, here's a layout from the epic Friends of the Library book sale last year in downtown Seattle. I found some bargains to read, and some gorgeous rares with which to decorate! I've been on a Joanna Gaines kick (because really, who hasn't?), so I knew I wanted some books with gorgeous covers to go in my bookshelf. Because who uses their bookshelf for actual reading books, right? (As mine currently live in my reading corner) I ended up lugging literal POUNDS of books in bags across downtown... Definitely felt like a nerd that day!
