Hello Friend

We are having a bit of a heat wave here in the midwest... when I was given the "Hello Spring" collection by Little Yellow Bicycle last month for my Design Team project for Cord Camera Scrapbook Studio, I was a bit iffy to work with it considering it felt like Summer! I know yesterday was the first official day of summer, but we have been up and down in temps since early this year.... it's hard to tell what season it is! 

Yes I was not a fan of this line when I started. I am not a fan of scrapping Spring projects period. However, I was a HUGE fan of the beautiful colors in this collection! I was also given a Little Yellow Bicycle 6x6 canvas album to play with, so I put a little thought into it and went a little beyond Spring.

The colors in this collection were PERFECT for a friendship album! I was able to pull out some acrylic paint and splatter it on the edges of the canvas album. I also added a little sparkle with some Mod Podge sparkle (love that stuff!!)

What's Up, Buttercup?

It's finally Friday! It's bright and sunny here in Southern Ohio, so I thought I would share a bright & cheery mini album that I made! 

Last month, one of my DT assignments for Cord Camera Scrapbook Studio was Lily Bee Design's Buttercup collection. I fell in love with this collection when I saw previews from CHA. 

Teal/Turquoise/Aqua is one of my all-time favorite colors. Pair it with some pretty yellow tones & we're in business! 

I didn't decorate the inside yet... I wanted to wait until I put photos in and then embellish. I thought this album would be nice for black & white photos. 

I LOVE making paper roses! They are so simple to make & much easier to match to the paper when you make your own! 

I also added some pretty May Arts Ribbon to the album... which by the way, I found out today that I made it to round 2 of the May Arts DT Call! I'm super excited about that! What a great way to start a Friday! 

Make sure you stop by the Cord Camera Scrapbook Studio blog today! My project will be there and maybe some others!
