ScrapRoom Reveal: Simple Stories Carpe Diem Kit

This collection was definitely a favorite!! Love the black with brights!!

I created this layout to document my NEW car... not a new to me car.. but my first NEW car! There's no turning back now. I went from not even having power windows to heated seats and keyless start! EEK! And to think I let my 2 year old eat in the backseat... LOL!!

How fun are those mini chipboard frames?!!?

Everything on my layout is included in the April kit with the exception of the thickers:

{ScrapRoom} Elle's Studio: Little Moments

Happy Sunday!

I am sharing a recipe for the next layout I created at The ScrapRoom blog:

It uses the Elle's Studio "Little Moments" collection from the April Flavors of the Month kit. I documented our recent road trip to North Carolina to visit my husband's best friend and family. It was so fun I wanted to use all the candids I took on a 2 page layout.

A few close ups:

Isn't that twine so fun with the pink,black, and white?!

Head over to the Scrap Room blog to see how I created this layout!

Have a great week! :)

Guest Designer at the Scrap Room!

I am so excited to announce I was invited to be a guest designer at The Scrap Room!

I worked with the April Flavors of the Month Kit

as well as the April Embellishment Add On Kit

and the April Patterned Paper Add On Kit

The first layout I created was with our April "Be Our Guest" Sketch:

I used the Bo Bunny "Believe" kit for my layout:

I loved using 2 square photos of my daughter and I, taken before a bridal shower. Despite what people say about the "terrible 2s" - I really love this age! I wanted to incorporate that sentiment into the title, along with the "live in the moment" chipboard.

I fussy cut several flowers from the patterned papers, in place of the the sketch and layered with more chipboard pieces. I used a distressing tool on several of the layers to add dimension and a bit of white between the vibrant colors!

I'm so excited to share inspiration with you all month long! Be sure to check out the ScrapRoom blog to see what the rest of the designers are creating, as well as the ScrapRoom store to get one of these fantastic kits!!
