8x8 "Cherished" Scrapbook Layout & Tutorial

Hey everyone, Arlene here again! ❤

Today I'd like to share a fun 8x8 scrapbook layout I created of my son Logan and his all-time favorite preschool teacher, Ms. Janice. This pic was taken at pre-school graduation and as you can see from the picture... they just adore each other! I had to 'scrap' this photo for Logan's memory album. ❤

I used a variety of I Am Roses products on this layout (product links included at the bottom of this post.) Here are some photos of this fun layout...







Check out my video tutorial for this layout...

Mother's Day card - I Am Roses May Color Challenge!

Hi everyone! I hope you join I Am Roses for a really fun challenge this month, which is to create a project using Purple and/or Teal/Turquoise!

I'm here to share a special card I created for my Mom for Mother's day. Let me start off by first telling you that purple is a REAL challenge for me. I don't use it in any of my projects -- AT ALL. LOL! I'm not a purple fan, which is why I decided to challenge myself and create something using it! I have to say, the milder (on-the-pink side) purples were MUCH easier for me to use. :-)

Here are some pictures of my card (a video link will be included below for full details and additional pictures of this card)...

6x6 "Memories" Scrapbook Layout

Hi everyone! Hope you had a wonderful weekend. It's almost time to get back into the weekly grind... but before we do, I have a project to share with you!

I created this fun, cute little scrapbook layout of a picture Bona took of me at Winter CHA 2012. There was this uber cute birdcage right outside the DCWV booth and I thought it was just ADORABLE! ❤ They had this weeping willow and peacock in their booth too... so FULL of color... well, DCWV won "best booth" for Winter CHA 2012 and it's no wonder! ❤

So back to my fun little lay-out... I used the new Pink Paislee Nantucket papers and ephemera. Oh my goodness, these papers emit cuteness! They are perfect for summer time! This layout was so easy to pull together too! With a little bit of patience and 1/2 hour... voilá --- here's my layout! :-)


I used a variety of I Am Roses flowers in different colors. I'll have them listed at the end of this post...


The lace is from Hobby Lobby, the flower trim from KARLAS001...


The "Memories" ticket is from a new Recollections pack that I picked up at Michael's this weekend. Oh my, their new collection of Recollections embellishments are to DIE for and they are 50% this week ladies!!! Run, run! LOL! ❤



Thanks so much for visiting me on my blog today. Be sure to check out I Am Roses, I'm certain you will find some flower yumminess that you won't be able to turn down. ❤

Oh, and it you are up for a challenge, come see us over at the I Am Roses challenge blog where we are in full-force challenge extravaganza! Come check it out!

Have a happy, scrappy week ahead!

hugs! ❤

12x12 Little Darlings Scrapbook layout

Hi everyone! I'm here today with a project for I Am Roses. And what FUN I had with this layout let me tell you! I used so many different and fun products, so let's get at it!

The paper collection that I'm using is Graphic 45's new Little Darlings -- such adorable papers! The background was cut using an oldie but favorite AccuCut die called Matte Circles 11". I did some distress work with the edges of the design paper using my Tim Holtz paper edge distresser.


I added a lot of different layers using the paper collection, including some images I fussy cut. I added some additional layering with white paper doilies sprayed with Creme Brulee Cream Starburst Spray by Lindy Stamp Gang.

The little vintage hanger is used to hang and display the layout on the wall of my office. I added some vintage white hand crinkled seam binding and inserted a little sentiment ("special delivery") from the Little Darlings paper collection...


The flourishes were die-cut using the MFT Fancy Flourish Die-Namics and I added some of the T2 Small flowers from I Am Roses (all I Am Roses product links will be included below.)

The large R40 rose is sprayed up with one of my new Starburst Spray colors that will be part of a set called Nantucket Pearls (coming soon to Lindy Stamp Gang!) The color used on the R40 rose is called Whale Watch Blue. The R21's are sprayed with Sea Grass Green and the R8's are sprayed with Clam Bake Beige. I tucked in some of my new favorite white crochet flowers with pearls, and some white small rose buds. The leaves were punched out using an EK success punch.


I created this little transparent window on the layout, which was super fun! I used 2 pieces of Acrylic from AccuCut and inserted a postage stamp and some T2 Small Flowers between the acrylic pieces. One of the acrylic pieces is stamped using a foam mounted flourish stamp from Michael's and some white StazOn ink. I used the edge of a paper doily around the opening of the "window" then added several of the T2 Small Flowers to embellish. On the corner, I added three R3 roses using the new sprays from the LSG Nantucket Pearls set.



Here's a closer look at the layers, distress, flourishes, and the super fun acrylic "window" with the floating postage stamp...


I created the "SWEET" banner using MFT's Mini Pennants Die-Namics and Graphic 45's alpha stickers from the Tropical Travelogue collection.


I "had" to add the little baby sleeping from the Little Darlings paper collection... it was so fitting with this photo of my son Dylan... He was only 3 weeks old in this photo, so you can only imagine how difficult it was to wake him up for the studio shoot, LOL! The photographer had no choice but to photograph Dylan asleep LOL!! But that's perfectly okay... I think this photo came out totally darling! I love how he has the little smile on his face while he was sleeping --- adorable! ❤


Here is a close-up look at the gorgeous I Am Roses flowers...
