Fall is coming!

Ladies, it's official fall is fast approaching. It's almost here! I can feel it, taste it and scrapbook it! I went to Jo-Anns this weekend and guess what is out? Well I'll tell you because it made my weekend, the new fall and Halloween stacks are here!

DCWV's fall collection is here. This is the best news, but even more apparent I need a job, like now, like ten minutes ago. There are so many stacks I want to buy! Too bad I am stuck in Hawaii so I won't get to use any pretty fall paper for a little while.

Nothing can spoil my mood now that DCWV has said fall is here. Now where is my candy corn?

DCWV July Card Challenge

Hey there! 

This week Mom and I got a baby shower invite from one of our close family friends who is having a baby. We got so excited to shop for cute baby stuff, and that we got to use some of our cute baby paper we never get to use! It also lined up perfectly with the DCWV July Card Challenge so we did the card together and here is the result! 

So here is the sketch from DCWV we had to work with this month.

My favorite process is picking out paper! It was so hard to choose, because they are all so cute but...

this was the combination! We didn't know if it was a boy or girl so we went with a nonspecific gender. (Also the colors matched the things we had bought! Bonus!) 

I fell in love with the little animal paper, it was just too cute! 

I did the front with some extra help from Mom.

Mom worked on the inside, coordinating the front paper in. 

I loved this card so much that I didn't want to let it go!

In case you were wondering the paper I used: 

Green dots and animal: 4.5 x 6.5  DCWV Nana's Kids Stack
Yellow glitter: 4.5 x 6.5 DCWV Lemon Flower Stack
Tan: 4.5 x 6.5 DCWV The Silky Smooth Stack Neutrals

DCWV July Stack Challenge

Hello!

 We are doing a lot of scrapbooking this weekend. Mom and I are actually getting our DCWV stack challenge done early this month. So here is the sketch we had to work with:

I love how organized it is. I know my OCD is showing! 

So we are still in 2007 Hawaii, I skipped ahead in the vacation because I loved this piece of paper. I like to try and match or coordinate the paper to my pictures and my favorite is to mix and match multiple stacks together.

 I am a sucker for foil paper. I thought this was so perfect for a jungle green theme, so the inspiration started here. 

Layout is done and now to embellish, which is my favorite part.

Done! I love how bright and graphic it is, and I think the two leaves work so well together. 

I found this perfect cream twine for the top part of the page. I cut out leaves using the cricut and added in brads and circles for the little cluster piece at the top. I didn't do the title they had because I decided I would make a second page.

Here is the accompanying piece. I really didn't change the layout very much, just made it vertical and moved a couple things around. I think it complements it nicely. 

I also have mom's challenge page that I adore. She is on Hawaii with me as well, and was doing the cruise part of the trip. 

Anyone who has cruised Norwegian Cruise Lines, knows the Freestyle Daily! We were planning out our day. She used DCWV's new Citrus Stack that she won from last month's DCWV challenge! Congrats Mom!! I just loved all the bright colors, and perfectly does it fit Hawaii?  

So hopefully we can make up on Top 10 this month, or for mom again. Have a great weekend! I think I'm feeling inspired again and off to the scrap room.
