Good morning everyone, thanks for stopping by today! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was so excited to get the chance to design a little something for you with the new United We Flourish stamps and dies by Honey Bee Stamps which were done exclusively for Ellen Hutson.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Just take a look at how versatile these are!</div>

Here is a little bit of what they have to say about their United We Flourish program in case you're interested in learning more:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt 0.5in;">
<i><span style="color: #7f7f7f;">Last November we began celebrating our 10th anniversary with the theme United We Flourish. And what does United We Flourish mean? It means that our company would not be here without the amazing companies we work with, the designers who create stunning projects showcasing the wonderful products being created AND you, our fabulous customers! YOU are such a vital part of our creative community - you inspire & encourage us! Your response to United We Flourish was overwhelming and heart-warming. We heard repeatedly from you that you appreciate how our little company works together with the other manufacturers we carry to bring you their products and education showing how to use those products. To thank you for your constant support and encouragement, we have partnered with some of our friends to offer exclusive limited edition stamp & die sets!!! These sets will be available for a limited time (most likely 3-6 months) after each release, depending on how quickly you snap them up. The theme of these stamps sets are uplifting and fun.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

Hello everyone! Steph here today sharing my "Free For All" assignment with you today.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As much as I sometimes need the direction of a more specified assignment, sometimes it's fun to just let my creativity and the products take me where they want. That's what happened here, and I like the result!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xdN1QLVet4c/V_qJixGKQ1I/AAAAAAAAFpU/9-MNdCclW1ccV5C2-Ia0rI3J9mrOXGU7gCLcB/s1600/StephBuice_CreatedToCreateDetail2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xdN1QLVet4c/V_qJixGKQ1I/AAAAAAAAFpU/9-MNdCclW1ccV5C2-Ia0rI3J9mrOXGU7gCLcB/s400/StephBuice_CreatedToCreateDetail2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This entire layout actually started with that pie chart sticker you see there. I had it left over from one of the Illustrated Faith monthly kits and for some reason it was just calling out to me. I had been saving onto it for the perfect project so it looks like it finally found a home. ( I love when that happens!)</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This layout is all about my little creative testimony, after all these years of creating it was so nice to sit down and type a bit about how I feel about what I get do. It was actually a little bit of an eye opener to myself, really sitting down to think it though has shown me how God has used a bunch of tiny steps in my life to make bigger ones. WOW GOD!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For this layout I mixed in some Oh My Stars and Bright & Brave collections together, the colors blend so well and I love that about Bella! I used some washi to make by little divider and then filled in each portion with my title, a picture, and the bottom two squares are filled with embellishments that I feel help tell my story a bit more.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hi everyone! Good morning! I've been pretty excited to share this post with you since these babies landed on my doorstep last week. I was contacted by Totally Tiffany to do a little review on this 4 piece Desk Maid set, and am I ever glad that I accepted! I mean look at these things! They're white, clean modern lines, gorgeous and I just love them! </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6naJvCVTEWQ/V_vAZ3QqKqI/AAAAAAAAFp0/rU5mqeF7wwQA7pLQP5OWZuXmmaiwpOHCgCLcB/s1600/TT2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="285" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6naJvCVTEWQ/V_vAZ3QqKqI/AAAAAAAAFp0/rU5mqeF7wwQA7pLQP5OWZuXmmaiwpOHCgCLcB/s400/TT2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The set comes with four pieces: The Tool Tower, Stadium Arranger, Pencil Perch, and the Pen & Ink Palace. Right out of the box I was already impressed by the quality and design, these are just so perfect! At first I couldn't decided if I wanted to use them for my planner stuff or my bible journaling goodies, but since my bible journaling supplies were kind of scattered around my studio I felt like they were the solution I had been searching for to corral them together...And BINGO! I was right!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Stadium Arranger was the first thing I wanted to fill up, I really like the different heights of the little compartments, they're perfect for storing my most used stamps and stickers, and I can even fit the current month's Bible Journaling kit in there with all of it, that was a huge plus to me.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YuBTy4wM0ZU/V_vAc33KJVI/AAAAAAAAFp4/ZBR2jKCrUx8lHJahD2Z_h385GiX75Bq0ACLcB/s1600/TT3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="295" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YuBTy4wM0ZU/V_vAc33KJVI/AAAAAAAAFp4/ZBR2jKCrUx8lHJahD2Z_h385GiX75Bq0ACLcB/s400/TT3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The second thing I filled up was the Pen & Ink Palace, I think my favorite thing about this piece was that the little shelves in it are removable. This allows you to customize the piece to make it fit your needs, and because we all have different demands of our storage that is key! I used mine to house</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
more of my favorite bible journaling stamps and the ink pads I use most. It has a great little space compartment on the top of it too, It gave me some extra room to store a large roller punch, some watercolors and an a larger ink pad. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-VPe91ntZDvU/V_vAjHhaPTI/AAAAAAAAFqA/_36egJX1CXkGHPDtsN3dKVoKAuyPybLeQCLcB/s1600/TT4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-VPe91ntZDvU/V_vAjHhaPTI/AAAAAAAAFqA/_36egJX1CXkGHPDtsN3dKVoKAuyPybLeQCLcB/s400/TT4.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Tool Tower is my second favorite piece in this set, besides it being pretty and white, it is highly functional. I love that I can store all my taller favorites in the back and my shorter ones in the front, because all of the levels are at different heights I can easily see even my smallest pieces. That is a big difference than the organizer I was currently using, because all of the compartments were the same height my smaller things were always getting lost.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8wgzP5Wymew/V_vAldqq2lI/AAAAAAAAFqE/kEzF8nqTstcnf4aeTrFQ872tmSjrC0iyQCLcB/s1600/TT5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8wgzP5Wymew/V_vAldqq2lI/AAAAAAAAFqE/kEzF8nqTstcnf4aeTrFQ872tmSjrC0iyQCLcB/s400/TT5.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is a little side view of the pieces I decided to keep at the handy, another thing I really like about this set is how small of a foot print it has. Real estate in here is quite valuable so for the amount of supplies I can store in one small space these get five stars in my opinion.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fdaJKmOh-_8/V_vAlgehl9I/AAAAAAAAFqI/luB1dWx9uRAzi4QGCE_V2kmEtDYvTi_lACLcB/s1600/TT6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fdaJKmOh-_8/V_vAlgehl9I/AAAAAAAAFqI/luB1dWx9uRAzi4QGCE_V2kmEtDYvTi_lACLcB/s400/TT6.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The fourth piece in this set is the Pencil Perch, how cute is that!? Although my collection of pens and pencils is bigger than this little buddy can handle, I really love the display! I think it would also be very handy to hold paintbrushes and skinnier utensils like that.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Overall I can't wait to settle into these pieces and see how they will work for me in the long haul, I can already tell that they'll be sticking around. I feel like organizing your space is just part of the gig at this point, so finding what works best for you is no easy task. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

For my care I mainly used Illustrated Faith's new Bright & Bold collection, which happens to be one of my favorites from the new releases. I just can't get enough of all the graphics...I mean that typewriter, come on with all the cute! It gives me all the heart eyes.</div>

For my card I used some patterned paper on top of my base and then added one of the 3x4's on top of it. I love how it says Thank You on the paper coming from the typewriter so I used it as part of my Thank you Love sentiment. The typewrite key "LOVE" is such a cute paper piece!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added in a pink Enamel Heart then topped it off with a bit of washi that I designed for the October Illustrated Faith kit "How He Loves Us" since it matched perfectly.</div>

Making cards isn't exactly my strong point, but sometimes I like to change it up a bit from bible journaling and making layouts and sneak a few in. We were sent the cutest box filled with some fun Bella Blvd and Illustrated Faith products for this feature and I had a blast pulling some of it together for today's hop.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Paper Pieces are one of my favorite embellishments so it was no surprise to me that they quickly became the focus of my card. I used pieces from the Friendship and Encouragement packs to create my little Bouquet. The "Rejoice" piece was from the Encouragement pack as well as the aqua banner piece, and the flowers and the floral banner is from the Friendship set.</div>

I added in a few other goodies as well, the yellow butterfly and pink arrow stickers are from the His Word Sticker Sheet and the "Oh Lord" sticker is from the Word Art Sticker Sheet. Once I had everything on there I added in a few patterned paper leaves and enamel hearts to finish it off.</div>

Hi everyone, Stephanie here today to share my "Love Her" Layout that I did of my Niece Kimberly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love it when her mom sends me photos, with my family being so far away it's always nice to be able to keep up with the kiddos this way. Plus it gives me my much needed dose of girly pictures, don't get me wrong, I love my boy but the pink is a nice break between all the manly hues.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KxH79EBEqXk/V-bvX1qj_vI/AAAAAAAAFnw/OUu6BVVM14sbHRKOSWTdhdXeTYwCQZ6fACLcB/s1600/StephBuice_LoveHerDetail2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KxH79EBEqXk/V-bvX1qj_vI/AAAAAAAAFnw/OUu6BVVM14sbHRKOSWTdhdXeTYwCQZ6fACLcB/s320/StephBuice_LoveHerDetail2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love how "everyday" these recent photos are, and they really let Kimberly's personality shine through, I love her cute kissy face shoved up against the window! She melts me!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For this layout I chose to use a pink, white and yellow color scheme with little pops of black. I feel like the black just helps the black and white photos tie in a little better. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IbSudSUZFQY/V-bvcGP39lI/AAAAAAAAFn4/A5xZ1uPXZtog4tnA6be50_JSc6huC_4hQCLcB/s1600/StephBuice_LoveHerDetail4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IbSudSUZFQY/V-bvcGP39lI/AAAAAAAAFn4/A5xZ1uPXZtog4tnA6be50_JSc6huC_4hQCLcB/s320/StephBuice_LoveHerDetail4.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Usually when I think of Bella I think of all the bright bold colors that we offer which I love, but I never want to forget that there is a pretty softer side too. I used lots of patterned papers from the new Oh My Stars collection on this one, the 6x8 paper pads offer solid colors on the backs of each piece and I really appreciate having the option of the colors already matching perfectly. Since my layout is 9x12" I simply used two strips of the Cotton Candy Stars back side to reach across my page. The products are just so versatile! </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nerNKrvxcKU/V-bvb6ECwdI/AAAAAAAAFn0/M8RpP8-BH0QZyyV7nKCQZK7zqglDc22DgCLcB/s1600/StephBuice_LoveHerDetail3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nerNKrvxcKU/V-bvb6ECwdI/AAAAAAAAFn0/M8RpP8-BH0QZyyV7nKCQZK7zqglDc22DgCLcB/s320/StephBuice_LoveHerDetail3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Another one of my favorite supplies has always been washi tape, and now Bella offers Washi Tape Sticker Books. Here I used the "Oh my stars I love you" piece at the bottom of my layered papers. I like the different texture that the tape adds, it's just kind of fun and a simple thing to add. I also mixed in some other pieces around the layout, like the pink heart paper piece and the yellow "hello" sticker is from the new Oh My Starts Fundamentals sheet.</div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For my title I used the "Today" Chip Scripts sheet, and sewed through it for a messy look. I added some enamels and used the Illustrated Faith roller date stamp to finish it off, hope you like it!</div>

Hello hello! Stephanie here today sharing this "Inspired By Pinterest" layout I recently did. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These are always one of my favorite types of assignments because it really allows me to go out and find some inspiration when I may be lacking in the "mojo" area. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The pin I chose to work with was this picture of some pretty and simply designed stationary. I loved how it was full of color but still clean at the same time. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kKrfSnz8ke4/V5j6JcokpnI/AAAAAAAAFlo/gt_ht-zUftI5wN9ST_tWBcNRfLefLwXwwCLcB/s1600/StephBuice_HelloThereLove.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kKrfSnz8ke4/V5j6JcokpnI/AAAAAAAAFlo/gt_ht-zUftI5wN9ST_tWBcNRfLefLwXwwCLcB/s400/StephBuice_HelloThereLove.jpg" width="397" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The first thing that caught my attention in the picture were the hexagons, not only do I really like how they were laid out and arranged, but the way they were put together really inspired me as well and I knew right away that there was going to be lost of patterned papers involved.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XGMTUL6K_-k/V5j6McnPe_I/AAAAAAAAFlw/ngiDCPVpdhg2Rnj3pPMCwU-SCifm2p-6QCLcB/s1600/StephBuice_HelloThereLoveDetail4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="275" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XGMTUL6K_-k/V5j6McnPe_I/AAAAAAAAFlw/ngiDCPVpdhg2Rnj3pPMCwU-SCifm2p-6QCLcB/s400/StephBuice_HelloThereLoveDetail4.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I really tried to keep my hexagons in the same position as the inspiration pin because I really loved how symmetrical they are. I also really liked how the triangles are also aligned with the flow of the other shapes.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ksSGVlc_lXs/V5j6JX7DkLI/AAAAAAAAFlk/jda5ydHHPGMyqzCPQNYthtchYHIZzpy5QCLcB/s1600/StephBuice_HelloThereLoveDetail1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="293" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ksSGVlc_lXs/V5j6JX7DkLI/AAAAAAAAFlk/jda5ydHHPGMyqzCPQNYthtchYHIZzpy5QCLcB/s400/StephBuice_HelloThereLoveDetail1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am admittedly one of the slowest fussy cutters in the history of man. I did make a cut file to cut out my triangles to put my hexies together, but in the end I ended up using them as a stencil so I could have more control over which parts of the pattern papers ended up on my layout.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aYLDgCj9_og/V5j6JF-jxmI/AAAAAAAAFlg/vY58QkUhQkgRaw_cJkO9UL2TjmWDRpNRgCLcB/s1600/StephBuice_HelloThereLoveDetail2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="318" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aYLDgCj9_og/V5j6JF-jxmI/AAAAAAAAFlg/vY58QkUhQkgRaw_cJkO9UL2TjmWDRpNRgCLcB/s400/StephBuice_HelloThereLoveDetail2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I decided to use some Chip Scripts mixed with Tiny Text for my title "Hello There Love", I just can't get enough of those things! I love how they look clean and white or dressed up, they are the perfect words for titles and I am really hoping that one day we have even more of them! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After I got all my triangles cut up and pieced together, I arranged them on my paged and decided to run it through my sewing machine. I tried to keep my lines clean so they wouldn't distract from the lines of the main design.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-P4PbdwQQrdo/V5j6LQbb0kI/AAAAAAAAFls/-Od3TkwWk78RKcYjPs9MberdMykNqydGgCLcB/s1600/StephBuice_HelloThereLoveDetail3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-P4PbdwQQrdo/V5j6LQbb0kI/AAAAAAAAFls/-Od3TkwWk78RKcYjPs9MberdMykNqydGgCLcB/s400/StephBuice_HelloThereLoveDetail3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In my inspiration picture, you can see that they used some larger triangles as the focal point of the design, so I tried to do the same. even though most of mine ended up being covered by my picture and embellishments, I promise they're still there hiding under all the goodness. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added in a few of the new Tabbies and gift tags from the You Are Loved collection to layer it up a bit and finished it off with some stickers and a chipboard icon from She Blooms.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That's about it from me today, thank you so much for stopping by!</div>

Hi everyone, welcome to my part of the Gossamer Blue November Blog Hop! If you've landed on my blog from Sandra's then you're in the right place!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm pretty sure you've been pumped full of inspiration by now so here are a few more projects to add to that.</div>

Hello! I hope everyone is having a great day, it's rainy and relaxing here so I thought I'd pop on and write up a quick post for some of my most recent Bella cards.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the recent summer CHA paper show I made these cards for the Bella booth using the new Clear cuts, I'm not usually a card maker so I was pretty nervous making these ones for everyone to see.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here are the two I came up with:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Happy Birthday Card:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wIErM5KXJ-8/VdKcI4bBSxI/AAAAAAAAFMw/XnVGAqb-zDI/s1600/StephBuice_HappyBirthday.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wIErM5KXJ-8/VdKcI4bBSxI/AAAAAAAAFMw/XnVGAqb-zDI/s400/StephBuice_HappyBirthday.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For this one I really just went with the first idea that came to mind, I had a vision of how this card would look and it turned out pretty close...I like when that happens ha! </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5mknJY9mrig/VdKcJrGtkBI/AAAAAAAAFM0/kL13bJeFEx8/s1600/StephBuice_HappyBirthday2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="281" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5mknJY9mrig/VdKcJrGtkBI/AAAAAAAAFM0/kL13bJeFEx8/s400/StephBuice_HappyBirthday2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I layered the clear cuts over different patterned papers to spell out my "HAPPY" and then added on the "BIRTHDAY" with the new Tiny Text stickers in Black.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and here is my other card called,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thanks You're A Peach!: </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-haYmQQeJyYs/VdKcGtnSMdI/AAAAAAAAFMk/tYAp0a0hdRE/s1600/StephBuice_ThanksYoureAPeach.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-haYmQQeJyYs/VdKcGtnSMdI/AAAAAAAAFMk/tYAp0a0hdRE/s400/StephBuice_ThanksYoureAPeach.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For this one I did the same layering the Clear Cuts over patterned paper to create my banner under the sentiments, such an easy way to add in some fun layers.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Y7IwusCBOxU/VdKcGFijUII/AAAAAAAAFMg/Z_U-OhVW2uI/s1600/StephBuice_ThanksYoureAPeachDetail1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Y7IwusCBOxU/VdKcGFijUII/AAAAAAAAFMg/Z_U-OhVW2uI/s400/StephBuice_ThanksYoureAPeachDetail1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
on this card I mixed in a little bit from every new collection I think, something from here and there and I love how they can all still fit together even though they're all different topics/themes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope you like them:)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thanks for stopping by, </div>

Hi everyone! I'm so excited to be a guest at Creative Retreat this month, so fun right!?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is the August Embellishment kit that I was given to take for a run: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can purchase it here : http://creativeretreatkits.com/products/august-2015-embellishment-kit</div>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is my first guest post and planner spread:</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As soon as I got the kit and tore into the packaging I knew right away that I wanted to use it on a planner spread, and what better time than the present right!? so I got right to work on this week's spread.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is what it ended up looking like in the end:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mrXYRMCXc5w/VdCoK6KOrnI/AAAAAAAAFL0/37jsE417A-g/s1600/StephBuice_Planner2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="288" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mrXYRMCXc5w/VdCoK6KOrnI/AAAAAAAAFL0/37jsE417A-g/s400/StephBuice_Planner2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I usually start my weeks by filling in everything that I know I have going on, be that project due dates, appointments, chores and so on, I even at least try to plan out what we will be having for dinner and add it to the specific days. I like to get all of that stuff down before I start adding any embellishments, that way I know I have most of the important dates in there before I run myself out of room.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KDUwxcnyaZk/VdCrkhP9iQI/AAAAAAAAFMQ/IeO4Oc2KUd4/s1600/StephBuice_Planner6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="280" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KDUwxcnyaZk/VdCrkhP9iQI/AAAAAAAAFMQ/IeO4Oc2KUd4/s400/StephBuice_Planner6.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I flipped over my middle inserts so you could also see what's under them on the second page.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As you can see I add in more of the fun stuff on days where I have less going on, those are my favorite days of all ha! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Z3Qo28Nfto4/VdCoJd8ypGI/AAAAAAAAFLk/IxoPNqlkDAc/s1600/StephBuice_Planner1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Z3Qo28Nfto4/VdCoJd8ypGI/AAAAAAAAFLk/IxoPNqlkDAc/s400/StephBuice_Planner1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since the awesome Pink Paislee Color Wash alphas were included in this kit I wanted to find a fun way to use them in my spread. Usually I would just use stickers of this size on layouts or cards but I really like the fun look they added in my columns. I spelled out "Clean Up", "Fun", "Party", and "Relax" on different days. I think I'll definitely start using my some of my stash of chipboard alphabets like this on future spreads.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-D_voxmsho_4/VdCoJclscDI/AAAAAAAAFLo/m-NQ9ePY9kQ/s1600/StephBuice_Planner3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-D_voxmsho_4/VdCoJclscDI/AAAAAAAAFLo/m-NQ9ePY9kQ/s400/StephBuice_Planner3.jpg" width="342" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
one of my favorite parts about this kit was the colors, I am a huge fan of pink and orange so that alone made me super happy. Another awesome thing about this kit are all the bits and pieces that come in it, the little banner flags are so cute! I also found myself using the stamps a ton on this spread, they are perfect for so many things!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MQza31dLRx4/VdCoN01PqII/AAAAAAAAFME/7YoClSlXYLM/s1600/StephBuice_Planner4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MQza31dLRx4/VdCoN01PqII/AAAAAAAAFME/7YoClSlXYLM/s400/StephBuice_Planner4.jpg" width="357" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am a big lister, I am a little ashamed to say that you can probably enter almost any room of our home and find one of my handy notepads laying around with pages of crossed off lists. If I write it down I have a way higher chance of remembering it. So that is why I always try to write out more significant ones and put them in my planner so it is constantly in my face. Another list that I always include is my starter grocery list, that way I can go ahead and write things down as I think of them and it's all in one spot.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-58HxLu2pwQg/VdCoNDGafYI/AAAAAAAAFL8/NCz8ApyyrK8/s1600/StephBuice_Planner5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-58HxLu2pwQg/VdCoNDGafYI/AAAAAAAAFL8/NCz8ApyyrK8/s400/StephBuice_Planner5.jpg" width="357" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And last but not least a little close up to close, I think that "this is so you" tag was one of my favorites. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Again, thank you so much for having me as your guest Danielle, I look forward to sharing my next project with you soon!</div>

Hi everyone! It's been a while so I thought I'd come share a few of my recent Bella Layouts while hanging my head in shame for neglecting my little blog Ha!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Time just keeps moving faster these days so I thought I'd share a little trick that I use when I need a layout on short notice.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This first layout I made for an assignment featuring the Bella Bows, it was one of those layouts where everything just kind of came together and looked just like I had imagined. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's not an earth shattering layout my any means but I like how I was able to fit in so many of the fun embellishments I've been hanging on to.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here it is:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QIouPJ3KpMU/Vc0tUJmSV3I/AAAAAAAAFJ0/DQameezbWaw/s1600/StephBuice_HelloAdventure.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="398" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QIouPJ3KpMU/Vc0tUJmSV3I/AAAAAAAAFJ0/DQameezbWaw/s400/StephBuice_HelloAdventure.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fWUYxCbofjs/Vc0tULi5nzI/AAAAAAAAFJo/xmo5IbMEHfI/s1600/StephBuice_HelloAdventureDetails1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fWUYxCbofjs/Vc0tULi5nzI/AAAAAAAAFJo/xmo5IbMEHfI/s400/StephBuice_HelloAdventureDetails1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TGbWzW9ctIA/Vc0tUIBonmI/AAAAAAAAFJs/FaTXzpmWsWc/s1600/StephBuice_HelloAdventureDetail2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="276" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TGbWzW9ctIA/Vc0tUIBonmI/AAAAAAAAFJs/FaTXzpmWsWc/s400/StephBuice_HelloAdventureDetail2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now here is where my trick comes in handy, I needed another layout on short notice and honestly my creativity was running pretty dry. Now when it comes to CHA or booth projects that's never a good time to be left scratching your head trying to come up with all new ideas when your creative well is running dry. SO I simply recycle one of my favorites. This next layout is simply lifted from my first one but using the new Bella Blvd Family Frenzy collection. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ma1cqNhtJr4/Vc0tZ8XpOXI/AAAAAAAAFKQ/a9GEGorlWHk/s1600/StephBuice_BeautifulLife.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="397" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ma1cqNhtJr4/Vc0tZ8XpOXI/AAAAAAAAFKQ/a9GEGorlWHk/s400/StephBuice_BeautifulLife.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This layout was perfect for a booth project because it allowed me to add in so many of the bits and pieces that the line has to offer.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XvCSU5al2xI/Vc0tZ2GKTXI/AAAAAAAAFKE/xey7pdRQ4O4/s1600/StephBuice_BeautifulLifeDetail1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="262" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XvCSU5al2xI/Vc0tZ2GKTXI/AAAAAAAAFKE/xey7pdRQ4O4/s400/StephBuice_BeautifulLifeDetail1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HeBLcP0xjGQ/Vc0tZwQKvNI/AAAAAAAAFKA/YkVNC8Jup-U/s1600/StephBuice_BeautifulLifeDetail2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="263" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HeBLcP0xjGQ/Vc0tZwQKvNI/AAAAAAAAFKA/YkVNC8Jup-U/s400/StephBuice_BeautifulLifeDetail2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am pretty sure I am not the first one to come up with this time saving "technique", but I promise that it is one of my favorite ways to go when I've just run out of juices.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, do you recycle your favorite layouts? </div>

This layout is a little message I wanted to write my husband about the kind of father he is, a little note really that I think he's the best dad to our son and that I love how he is such a great example to him.</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I kept this layout clean and simple, for some reason even this design feels masculine, it may be the hard lines or even the papers I chose, either way I love it!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The June Gossamer Blue kits were perfect for so many things, summer, travel, everyday stuff, and I loved the colors! If you haven't picked yours up yet you can do so here: http://www.gossamerblue.com/welcome-to-the-store/</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hi everyone! A few weeks ago I was up on the Bella Blvd Blog and I'm so excited to share one of my bible journaling pages and little bit of my process with you. When I first heard that Bella Blvd was partnering up with Illustrated Faith I was very very happy, two of my favorite things combining is always a good thing!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's like ice cream and cake...who doesn't like ice cream cake!?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The first page I'm sharing is one I did based on Matthew 5:16, it was one of the verses in a recent sermon and it really hit home with me. So I got my notebook, bible and some supplies out and came up with what I wanted my page to say.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-o53fuD3zC0o/VWi9GCSbJDI/AAAAAAAAFAE/-iJ-2wKM05s/s1600/StephBuice_Matt516_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-o53fuD3zC0o/VWi9GCSbJDI/AAAAAAAAFAE/-iJ-2wKM05s/s400/StephBuice_Matt516_1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Normally I would just do all my work in the margins of my bible but</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I knew that I had so much to reflect on with this one so I made sure to leave some room on my page to fit all that in. I decided that the best way to be able to say all I wanted was to do my page on some vellum instead and insert it later.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Qj9tSl9FQ28/VWi9GiT9fHI/AAAAAAAAFAM/XBEJ9pzqCbU/s1600/StephBuice_Matt516_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="293" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Qj9tSl9FQ28/VWi9GiT9fHI/AAAAAAAAFAM/XBEJ9pzqCbU/s400/StephBuice_Matt516_2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My process is pretty simple regardless of when I'm putting it, first I cover my page with clear gesso (if I'm adding paint), then I dry it and add in my paints (I use Liquitex Basics Acrylic colors). I usually use an old gift card, a paint brush and even my fingers to make little smudges here and there. Before I start adding any stickers or embellishments I make sure that I get it good and dry using my heat gun. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-upHVBu11BRc/VWi9GtyRqLI/AAAAAAAAFAI/Z0z9Sx4AyCE/s1600/StephBuice_Matt516_3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="287" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-upHVBu11BRc/VWi9GtyRqLI/AAAAAAAAFAI/Z0z9Sx4AyCE/s400/StephBuice_Matt516_3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once everything is dry I start adding in my "title" and journaling. Since most of my pages usually start in a notebook, I like to try and add all the stuff that stood out and spoke to my heart onto my actual journaling page. For this page after I put my main journaling down " God Let my light shine with good, so other see and give you all the Glory", I decided to use some patten paper with circles cut out to write out the rest of my message.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gx8x8PVsr44/VWi9MuOZ0tI/AAAAAAAAFAg/xRyc8DAyuKs/s1600/StephBuice_Matt516_4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gx8x8PVsr44/VWi9MuOZ0tI/AAAAAAAAFAg/xRyc8DAyuKs/s400/StephBuice_Matt516_4.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For this page I pulled out my Genesis kit and some of my other Bella favorites. I love all the different alphabet stickers in the Genesis kit, so many to choose from!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dWddrN-M0p8/VWi9MyOAnZI/AAAAAAAAFAo/DLGps35Mj9c/s1600/StephBuice_Matt516_5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dWddrN-M0p8/VWi9MyOAnZI/AAAAAAAAFAo/DLGps35Mj9c/s400/StephBuice_Matt516_5.jpg" width="400" /></a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To finish off my page I wanted to secure some of my words and my pattern paper pieces down, I added in some of the new washi tape and sewed over them a bit. I like how it not only keeps things intact but also give a more finished look.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think it is also important that I share my verse with you, Matthew 5:16 (ESV) - "In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. " </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thank you so much for letting me share this with you today! I always have so much fun putting pieces of my heart down on paper, I hope you will give it a try too!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wanted to document how my Son loves going shopping with his grandmother and how I have so many memories doing the same with mine.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hi everyone, Stephanie here today to share my Doodlebug Mini Doily layout with you. I like all of the Doodlebug embellishments but it's no secret that the Sprinkles and Doilies in all colors and sizes are my favorites. I LOVE them and I could use them on every single one of my projects and not tire of them. I have even been known to use them on very masculine layouts in one way or another, they are just so easy to mix in there and add that unexpected layer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So here it is, my doily layout,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
God Made Sisters and Summer: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-eEJtzIHp9Dg/VT1yKkBeVLI/AAAAAAAAE80/xD_xreSO4WQ/s1600/StephBuice_GodMadeSisters1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="397" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-eEJtzIHp9Dg/VT1yKkBeVLI/AAAAAAAAE80/xD_xreSO4WQ/s1600/StephBuice_GodMadeSisters1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since my real title is a little longer than usual</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(God Made Sisters & Summer, Both Gifts Are Best Enjoyed together), I decided that I would make it the entire width of my page. I painted my background in a few summery colors and used the new Skinny font stickers in coordinating colors.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-f-wGD0V0IzQ/VT1yG84H-eI/AAAAAAAAE8k/PYCt8DxqXbg/s1600/StephBuice_GodMadeSisters4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="260" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-f-wGD0V0IzQ/VT1yG84H-eI/AAAAAAAAE8k/PYCt8DxqXbg/s1600/StephBuice_GodMadeSisters4.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After I got all of my letters down I quickly ran my sewing machine over them to add in some extra texture, I love that look and use it all the time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6gcf_Z-ro08/VT1yEFoLiLI/AAAAAAAAE8c/cINYmb5t66Q/s1600/StephBuice_GodMadeSisters2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6gcf_Z-ro08/VT1yEFoLiLI/AAAAAAAAE8c/cINYmb5t66Q/s1600/StephBuice_GodMadeSisters2.jpg" width="321" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These pictures of my younger cousins Alysha and Kayla are so descriptive of their personalities,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
because their clothes would not match my page I decided to make them black and white. </div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5RFKF3Lv9gM/VT1yJ0S9IFI/AAAAAAAAE8s/9Pu0hGCtcZ4/s1600/StephBuice_GodMadeSisters5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5RFKF3Lv9gM/VT1yJ0S9IFI/AAAAAAAAE8s/9Pu0hGCtcZ4/s1600/StephBuice_GodMadeSisters5.jpg" width="316" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had so much fun going through my Doodlebug stash finding the perfect colored embellishments for each of the pictures layered on the matching doilies. I kept them all in the color of the column they landed in like all pink embellishments on the pink and all yellow on yellow. I am really liking that look right now.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now, if you haven't picked any of the new mini doilies up yet you totally should,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
they are a very versatile embellishment that can be used with any kind of style.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thanks for stopping by!</div>

Hi everyone, Happy Monday! Today I'm sharing a layout that was on the Doodlebug blog a few weeks ago using new Sunkissed collection.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The colors and patterns in this collection scream fun summer sun and long days at the pool.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I jumped at the chance to use one of my favorite summer photos of my son having his first swim in his pool.</div>

When I'm short on time but have a layout that needs done I often reach for my sketch book. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wanted a sketch that would allow me to work in as many of the papers as I possibly could but still felt clean and put together. I chose to go with this one and it was the perfect fit!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I Stared by punching out different sizes of circles and layering them together in a grid.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I chose my top and bottom border strips and sewed them down.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-LadDdeDnlRI/VRSsSJMuMtI/AAAAAAAAE48/0p7K66v0WmE/s1600/StephBuice_FunInTheSun2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="396" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-LadDdeDnlRI/VRSsSJMuMtI/AAAAAAAAE48/0p7K66v0WmE/s1600/StephBuice_FunInTheSun2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After I got the bottom and top borders in place I started sewing down the center circles from top to bottom leaving equal spaces between them. Each circle is different with unique sizes and patterns.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After the circles were all secure I began layering my other elements. I used a card from the back of the "Green Grass" paper as my title and added my picture onto of it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used some of the Fancy Frills border stickers under is along with some strips of the new summer wash tapes. I really like all the color they brought in, they helped balance off the bottom of the page.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I snuck in some of the This and That Stickers and the Mr.Sunshine Doodlepop. The sunglasses from the Summer Sprinkles Shapes accessorized him, so cute!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Two of my favorite things when it comes to playing with paper are layers and colors, this collection feeds both of my loves! I'm pretty sure you will find the same when you pair it with your summer memories. Thanks for visiting!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My first project is a card that I made using mostly the new Just Add Color Bella Blvd collection,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

HI everyone, happy Monday! I hope you each had a fun NSD!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To celebrate, each of us Bella girls were given the assignment to create a "Me" layout.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That's a hard subject for me to scrap about but it's a fun habit I hope that I can get into doing more often since it's important to be in the albums too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Even though I was clueless as to what I would actually make my layout about this turned out to be one of the most fun layouts I have done.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Bella's new Just add color collection is pretty awesome. I love that the papers can be used as is (black and white) but you also have the ability to make them into whatever colors fit your project.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can see more of the new Just add color collection <a href="http://bellablvd.typepad.com/bella_blvd/2015/04/mid-release-collection-reveal-just-add-color-little-bits-stickers.html">here on the blog.</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I decided to make my layout more of a little note to myself.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Dear Self, Today You will shine.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mSSEteThbIo/VUerhm9Ew_I/AAAAAAAAE-c/EKVduEVTX8g/s1600/StephBuice_DearSelf.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="396" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mSSEteThbIo/VUerhm9Ew_I/AAAAAAAAE-c/EKVduEVTX8g/s400/StephBuice_DearSelf.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had a blast water coloring each of the flowers and cutting them out, I suck with a simple color palette with happy spring colors, it makes me smile just looking at it.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kT9ZXY3Lie0/VUeriAgZxkI/AAAAAAAAE-o/Vy5-uJYecm4/s1600/StephBuice_DearSelfDetail1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="293" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kT9ZXY3Lie0/VUeriAgZxkI/AAAAAAAAE-o/Vy5-uJYecm4/s400/StephBuice_DearSelfDetail1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I painted my background and placed letters of the matching colors as my title. I didn't have a few of the colors to I painted some of the white Amories to match.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-sXGw2cSQV7s/VUeriH1B9nI/AAAAAAAAE-g/R_nLqDXS3fs/s1600/StephBuice_DearSelfDetail2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-sXGw2cSQV7s/VUeriH1B9nI/AAAAAAAAE-g/R_nLqDXS3fs/s400/StephBuice_DearSelfDetail2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
SO what did you do for National Scrapbooking Day? I think it's pretty neat that there is a day to celebrate the craft that so many of us have fallen in love with.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Have a great week, and I hope to have another post up for you tomorrow of the rest of my projects I've made so far using the new mid release collections. See you soon,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hi everyone! Just popping on here quickly to share one of my Doodlebug Patriotic Picnic layouts. This was a fun one to play with, I like when there are lots of different collection bits and pieces to to choose from and this one has a ton! My little embellishing heart was very happy making this.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For this layout I decided to scrap a picture of my little niece, she looks so happy sitting there in that hammock and I can't wait to add this layout to her keep sake book.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I decided to do an angled design on top and keep the bottom Straight.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VPbUh3kAaLY/VSm6Gt9D7iI/AAAAAAAAE7E/r7AWbTJoRxE/s1600/StephBuice_Happy4th2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VPbUh3kAaLY/VSm6Gt9D7iI/AAAAAAAAE7E/r7AWbTJoRxE/s1600/StephBuice_Happy4th2.jpg" height="298" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I really had fun layering in so many different patterns on this one. At first I was afraid that it would be a little busy so I kept the rest of the layout very clean. I added in lots of stitching and couldn't wait to use one of the Mini Pinwheels and Pixies. I used some of the Pixie Straws to anchor them down and some Mini Doodle-Pops to give it a little something extra.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used the Winne & Walter "The Big, The Bold and the Happy" stamp set and all the sequins they sent me and mixed it up with some of my favorite Pinkfresh goodies. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Pinkfresh scribble circle die has been my favorite since the day I got it in my hands and it was perfect layered over my sequin butterfly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The time it took to lay each of the sequins down on my shape was well worth it, I love the look it gave when I layered some vellum over it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I know my Pocket Letter Pal will be super excited to receive it!</div>

Elle's Studio also has grab bags available, - this only happens twice a year so this is your chance to stock up and SAVE! There are three different types of bags to choose from: Scrapbook, Stamp, and Journaling Tags. These grab bags are available while supplies last, but they probably won't last long, so make sure you grab them now!<o:p></o:p></div>

Hello! Stephanie here today to Share my Hello Sunshine Layout with you today.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There are layouts that are just so much fun to make and this was one of them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I looked at all the patterns in this collection to choose from and the Bright Blossoms paper stood out immediately. I really like the grid design of the sheets of note book paper because I knew that they would allow me to create 6 different "scenes" on one layout.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I really like layouts that are symmetrical and a grid design almost always provides just that.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I like how they off so many opportunities to play with and add many more different embellishments than I usually would to a page.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I mostly stuck to the Hello Sunshine collection for this one but also added in a Simply Put card insert from the Kraft in Color collection. I cut out the sayings that were in strips and used the ones in coordinating colors. The words were perfect.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For each scene I just played around piecing together different pieces from the collection to make them each unique. I dded in a few other things like Doodletwine, a mini clothespin and paper clip to add some other interest.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The pictures of my niece and her mom were made for this layout, I love how they're laying in the fresh grass enjoying a few moments together.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Thank you for coming by today, we always appreciate when you visit us here on the blog.</div>
