Canadian Scrapbooker Magazine

Look what arrived yesterday ... With my contribution ...

So fun to see one of my favorite layouts in print.

Also, since I'm already tooting away, one of my layouts using the March Up The Street kit was featured on the Studio Calico blog yesterday.

I was having some rough moments with the kids yesterday, so it was nice to have these unexpected bright moments to balance out the day.

Have a great week :)

Scrap Your CRAP ... Challenge #52: Floss it up

This month's challenge at Scrap Your CRAP was to use embroidery floss on a layout.

I wanted to really make my floss "pop" so I used an ecru colour against a dark green background with very few other elements.

The title comes from the Little Rascals character. Whenever I see a photo of my dad as a little guy, I want to call him Spanky.

Aren't those chubby little cheeks and short pants adorable?

I used the February kit from Up The Street as well as some Prima crystals from an add-on.

The title and outside boarder is cut from one of the patterned papers. I love when I can get coordinating elements from a single sheet of paper.And because I was in the "floss zone", I whipped up this fun one using a paper bad as the background and the March kit from Up The Street.

I have a shipping special running at Up The Street right now ... half price until April 14th.

Go check it out!
