More Pictures Please!

Wow... I cannot fathom the fact it's been exactly one week since I have last posted! I have been helping out with VBS for the past two weeks and my daughter has so many softball games there is little time for much else.
I was able to steal a way for a bit to create this layout for the newest Ella's Scrapbook Challenge #13 Adding extra photos with pockets, flippers, accordion mini's and any other fun and creative way.

Here is what I came up with I will be posting three photos to demonstrate the flaps:

First off I want to say wow to all the fantastic layouts created for Ella's Pink Scrapbook Black & White photo challenge! This week for Challenge #12 with Ella we have a sketch as well as the theme Park/Vacation/Zoo spot or Fun Day, here is the sketch

As we just recently returned from vacation this was a no brainer and this picture of Oscar is among one of my favorites from the trip.   I used my June Kit From Torendi "Paris in Bloom" to created this layout because the colors were perfect and Sassafras card stock banner stickers really gave me the feel of Mexico I was looking for.  These kits are just the ticket as you receive just the right amount of papers and other great product to keep you inspired until the next month. There are plenty on sale right now or if you sign up for 6 months you get a discount as well!  Gave a great day! Beth

Pink Elephant and Torendi Meet again...

Hello, before I get on with this weeks Ella's Pink Scrapbook  at The Pink Elephant I just want to say it was so refreshing to stop by so many of your blogs today, there is so much inspiration out there so Thanks be to you!  Now this week at  we have a :

We'd like you to start with a Black and White photo and take it from there using any other colors your heart desires. I love black and whites because then I never have to worry about color clashing from the photo to the papers. Here is my layout for this week, I just love my sons smile.

I just love the bold stripes of the dp paper it's from the Bam Pop Volume 3 Collection  & a fun stamp set called Bots Like Us, both are available at the Torendi.shop.  The rest of the embellishments have been without their proper packaging so I cannot relay the companies, sorry! I personally want to advise you to stop by the rest of the design team because there work this week is oh so amazing!

Lovin this new kit!

 Hello everyone, I have missed you so! Mexico was so amazing and I am in the process of trying to narrow down a mini screening of our adventures to share. After what seemed like a thousand loads of laundry,
  I finally had the opportunity to sit down and play with Torendi's fantastic kit called Paris in Bloom! I can honestly say I have never used preprinted chipboard and it was a lot of fun! I created two "Hello" cards to share one rather reserved and one busy as a bee.

With cherry picking season upon us I felt it most appropriate to used this pair I cut them from the Sassafras Cherry Delicious  paper.

.

This second cards uses the Cherry Flag Banners, Shinzi Katoh Today Stamp (Cat), Cosmo Cricket Material Girl Ready Set Chipboard (varies with each kit) and I used come more of the Sassafras Cherry Delicious paper that I ran through my Cuttle bug nested circles.  Well thanks for stopping by and be sure to stop by the shop to check out all Torendi's Kits!
