We R Memory Keepers Down The Boardwalk Layout

I would love to share with you today the layout I did using We R Memory Keepers Down the Boardwalk and Technique Tuesday Ordinary Days by Ali Edwards. I love the versatility of the Down the Boardwalk papers just because they are so rich in color and can be used for more than your beach pictures. The picture I used on my layout is of my husband and myself at Ceilis in Vancouver. It was our first time that we tried Shepherds Pie and I must say it was delicious!!!
Don't you just love how the Ali Edwards Ordinary Days fit perfectly with the "Ain't Life Great" die cut from We R Memory Keepers and the "Always Together" die cut from My Minds Eye. I love how the small vellum envelop, Making Memories Key and wrapped button just help added more character to my page. I hope you try adding some hidden embellishments the next time you create your layout. Hugs Pammejo

Ceili's Restaurant Layout using We R Memory Keepers

I seen this sketch design yesterday on my facebook that my friend Gloria Stengel of Scraps of Life designed. So this is my interpretation of her sketch. II used We R Memory Keepers Down The Boardwalk to design my layout with of our good friends Jim and Sandy.
Make sure to go to Gloria's Blog and check out her layout it is amazing. I think I may have to add some metals to mine. I love metals as I look at mine layout I believe it needs a bit and I find it hard to believe I didn't put any on it. LOL 
 I do want you to check out the coaster that I picked up at Ceili's Restaurant. I inked it up a bit with Tea Dye and Evergreen Bough, added some brown twine and a button to it. I place it on two pop dots placed carefully on the side and added a recipe for th Shepherd's Pie that we had the restaurant. It is a fun way to add a journaling block to your layouts. So hold on to your coasters. Hugs Pammejo

REMOVED FOR PUBLICATION-PAPER CREATIONS SPRING 13
I made three cards using the 6x6 paper pad. It is filled with pink, yellow, chocolate and burgundy pappers and so easy to make cards with as you can see with my first card.
 On my second card I got a bit bravery by making a pinwheel and adding a sticker from SRM Stickers.
And for my last I made these fabulous banners and added cute little dimensional flowers using the EK Success Mini Flower Punch. My Thank You Sentiment on this card is an Inkadinkado Stamp and Black Color Box Ink. Don't forget to check out their site and check out the new lines that will be release at CHA. Have a fun and creative day. Hugs Pammejo

Basic Grey Sketch Challenge 7/2/12

 Wow, nothing like waiting to the last minute to enter the Basic Grey Sketch Challenge but that is exactly what I have done. I hope if you have never done a challenge that this might inspire you to try it out. Basic Grey has regular challenges, they are always fun to do and the bonus is you get a fabulous sketch to use and to have for your collection of sketches. That always makes me smile. So here is the sketch for 7/2/12.
 
 This is my take on the sketch: I used Basic Grey What's Up papers and envelopes to make my card. I made my ribbon border by using the EK Success Inch Border Punch. Wow.... can you believe it is the first time I have used it and I guarantee I will be using it more often. I love the look of how the brown gingham ribbon from American Craft was so easy to weave through it.
Don't you just love the envelopes from the What's Up collection, I stamped a sentiment from Technique Tuesdays Ali Edwards Favorite Memories with ColorBox ink on to the small envelop I used and added the Red Petite Letters from Authentic. Again I hope you enjoy the take on my sketch and try doing some sketch challenges yourself.

Fireworks Card - Published by Scrapbooking.Com

Wow can you believe that the Fourth of July is today and I have just been told that my card was published in Scrapbooking.com. If you go HERE you will be able to get all of the detail on how to make the card. 
I made this Fourth of July card using the Bo Bunny Liberty paper and I think it turned out pretty cool. We see accordion fold everywhere so I had to include one on my card but I only let it fold out part of the way, I think it really makes the Fireworks sticker pop of the card. I added some of the little stars to the card front, inside and one on the back of my card. Always look for way to decorate your cards on the inside, back and don't forget your envelopes.I hope you take go over to check out my card on Scrapbooking.com and let me know how much you love their newsletter.  Hugs Pammejo
