Hi again!!  Amber with aMbAju Creates with a guest post for Cuttin' and Stampin'! :)  

I'm kinda liking filling in for these awesome ladies!

A while back Teresa Collins introduced her You are My Happy line.  The design team went crazy over it.  We decided that it could be used in SO many wonderful ways that we couldn't put just one theme to it.  The challenge for you is to use the colors in the line to create a project.    

(This line can also be found here for purchase!!  There is a complete product listing at the end of this post.)

In addition to this super cute line, we also just got in the CHA release from My Mind's Eye called "Record It!" and I. AM. IN. LOVE!!  I figure why not use 2 of the best paper companies out there together?!

I chose to use You Are My Happy and mix in some of the "Record It! - Charmed" line because the gold looks really good with the other collection.  

I am NOT a gold-lover.  I don't own any gold jewelry so I was kind of surprised that I was loving these gold foiled cards.

Another issue I ran into was I am actually ALL caught up on my Valentines Day pictures!  So, I decided to create my spread for our 2014 Valentines Day. :)

(Not usually ahead of the game...kind of strange for me!!)

Here's what I came up with:

Left side:

(PS it's hard for me to create a spread with no pictures!!!  The white heart cards are where I'm planning my real pictures to be.  Using these place holders makes it easier for me to visualize since I usually put my pictures down first.)

Right side:

Until next time.... :)

Pocket Thursday - Winter Wonderland

January 16, 2014

Hello, Hello.  Hope everyone is having a fine week.  Today is Pocket Thursday and I want to show you what I've created using the Bo Bunny Winter Wonderland binder contents collection and the Captured Moments stamp set from Paper Smooches.  

I wanted to add just a little bit of damnation to the words I added to this card so I took some 1/8 foam and stuck it to the back of my A Muse Studio Seattle Paper. Then I ran it through the die cut machine.  As you can see I run it through the first time and then couldn't figure out how to add the foam tape to it.

 I cut down all of the cards by 1/8" on each side so that I could back them with the solid cardstock.  I used A Muse Studio Navy and Seattle.  I stamped a few of the cards with sentiments from the Paper Smooches Captured Moments stamp set. 

In all the places I plan on putting a picture, I cut the corners of the paper with a Fiskars decorative corner punch. 

After filling these two pages, I sill have quite a bit left to create another set of pages or place inserts into a mini album.

Here's the two pages up close. 

 

 I have three 4x6 picture spots on the first page with two large journal spots. 

 

This second page has two 3x4 in the middle and two large journal sport.  I was thinking of adding 2014 in the upper right hand corner above the winter.  

My picture of the two sheets together have a real bad glare and are hard to see, but I think this will be a great layout for my nieces book showing off the her four boys.  

This week's challenge to create something about winter is still going on and you can enter your own great project.  We would love to see what you create and you can enter HERE.

Thanks for stopping by today.
