What's new?

I'm sorry that I have been MIA for a while. I adopted a dog last week, so that has kept me pretty busy! Naturally the first thing that I did when I had some free time, was to make a layout about my new best friend!

I am still working with the June "best day of my life" kit + add on by Scraptastic. Our July kits should be shipping soon! The only things on this layout that are not from the kit are the thickers and the teal colored arrow clip from freckled fawn.

More layouts on the way! I hope everyone is having a great weekend.

My Scrappy Summer Solstice!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend, and enjoying the summer solstice!
I've been working with the June 2014 "best day of my life" kit from scraptastic for the past few weeks, and I'm no where near done with it! The new kits will be shipping in a couple weeks, and already I can't wait to get my hands on it! Enough rambling though, I have some layouts to share!

I fussy-cut the words from the Flea Market 6x6 paper pad from Crate Paper. I enjoyed making this layout. I like how soft and subdued the colors are. I rarely make layouts using a white background, so it is nice to change it up.

This next layout is very different. You may want some sunglasses for this one. :)

More to come! Thanks for looking!

Happy scrappy saturday!

Today's layout is of a picture I took while hiking. Aside from my crafting space, in nature is where I am my happiest. I decided to make the title "Go find your happy". I was inspired by this quote; "Be happy for this moment. This moment is your life."
       I made this layout using the Scraptastic main kit and add-on for June titled "the best day of my life"

You can check out the Scraptastic kits at www.scraptasticclub.com

Thanks for looking! Have a great weekend.

Friday Favorites: Maggie Holmes resin flowers

Hello! Welcome back to the Sunny side! I am starting a new series on my blog called "Friday Favorites". I will feature my new favorite product, paper or embellishment of the week. The reviews that I write are purely my opinion, and I do not receive compensation from the brands that I recommend.  This week's featured favorite is an embellishment. The resin flowers designed by Maggie Holmes for Crate Paper are so beautiful and they look good on almost everything! When i ordered them online, i was worried that they might stick up off the page too much, and create awkward space in my albums. I was wrong. They are the perfect height to add dimensional interest to the page!
Here are a few shots of the product.

This is a photo of a layout I made using the flowers.

You can find these flowers for less than $4.00 at various online stores, you can also by the directly from American Crafts.

Thanks for stopping by, have a great creative week!
