vinyl = happy

Hey there everyone. I am officially kidnapping this blog post again. It's been a VERY long time since I've updated some design team layouts & projects.

The other day, my baby sister delivered a fabulous package of vinyl goodies to my house -- actually they came home in my son's backpack from school -- we tend to do our deliveries that way {lol}.

Anyway..... there were some vinyl wall decors that I had specially ordered (to view photos, see my last few blog posts here). fabulous..... just fabulous.

So, I wanted to share some of the layouts that I've been working on the past few days -- actually I did most of them yesterday and one this morning.

Blessings:
Totally inspired by Prima products. I used Cut Your Way vinyl in the top right corner (plum journal spot) & in the leaves around the flowers. love these leaves -- very unique. I can see these on soooo many layouts.

The little girl on the lhs of the photo is actually creater & owner of Cut Your Way, Laura Lee's daughter: Emma. Mine is the lhs.


Just a close up of those fabulous vinyl leaves (in teal & plum) layered underneath the flowers:
Girl, you shine:
IN LOVE with these damask vinyl prints. I could have a hundred of them and I would not get sick of them -- one in every colour, please. Can you say "huge; like 12"; in black; on your feature wall in your house??? Get thinking.
secret wish: This large teal bracket actually was a 10" vinyl frame, and I just cut it apart. I'll save the other half for another project down the road. And not your typical frame; a little more whimsical -- just my style. My sister knows me so well.

And remember this project from a while ago?

I used the same vinyl title and created a layout: A Family Like You

And how about looking for some layout inspiration in your own home. This cloth recycled shopping bag was hanging on my barn door when I snapped this photo .......

.... which was the inspiration for this layout: Summer Up Do

I used the vinyl 5 inch scalloped circle frame in [teal]. And let's not forget about that cool little leave, or splash, or whatever you'd like it to be in [plum] next to the title. I know I'll be using just a few of those in the future.
thank u, Thank U, THANK U Laura Lee for the wonderful products that you let me experiment with daily!!!!!! I AM IN VINYL HEAVEN.

Head on over to my blog to get some more inspiration from layouts & home decor.

sitting on cloud nine,

*NEW Design Team Member #2

* WARNING - this blog has been momentarily kidnapped by DT member Jill Hildebrand.

Introducing the newest Design Team member:
Lisa Hildebrand

Lisa writes:

"Most of what I create is inspired by what others create – their creativity rubs off a bit on me. The desire to scrapbook began after we started our family. Documenting memories and being able to remember moments through pictures is fun. My style is quite simple. I usually just rummage through my stash, pull out a few items, and let the pieces fall as they may. Letting the picture tell the story is what is important to me. I am married to the love of my life, Jeremy, and we have 2 beautiful children, Colin and Erica. I teach part-time, but love my role as wife and mother. My other interests include gardening, cooking and playing with my family."

Here are Lisa's creations:


{flourish - signal yellow; butterfly - green; title - white}

{branch & birdie - blue; title - signal yellow}

{brackets - red; title - signal yellow}

Check back soon to see what I've been creating with Laura Lee's "Cut Your Way" vinyl.

enjoy.
