Dr. Seuss Birthday Party

I love love this party decor, it was so much fun making it and seeing it all set up in person! I was even able to find some of the Dr. Suess embellishments from EK Success, a miracle in itself since they have been discontinued. As soon as I have little ones, this will definitely be a birthday party theme I want to have! Have you had any theme birthday parties?!

Shop till you drop

Like most scrapbookers/artist everytime I go to an arts and craft store even if its just for one thing, I have to poke around the entire store! Lots of cute things are trending now and I had to get a piece of the action. Here is some of my most recent purchases. These were definitely NEEDS hehe :) 

I call this my trendy trip, gotta love Archivers! My first mustache and washi tape purchase. (I will post my project I created with the tape soon!)  Of course some pendants. I plan on using the premade pendants as templates!  

This is my thrifty purchase! While roaming the aisle at Michael's, I came across this fiskars set! It  was originally $40 and was on clearance for $15. The trimmer by itself is worth it. I don't plan on opening this baby till we move!

Layout Time ...

It was a special someone's first Thanksgiving and I didn't take a lot of photo, ehhh! The layout did take a little while to actually make, because I wanted it to be perfect! I love working my title's into the layout, :Take time to watch the leaves turn". The cardstock is my favorite, Prism. The leaves are cut from Doodlebug fuzzy paper, I have all the colors and the stuff is super sweet and fuzzy :-) The leaves punch is from Ek Success. Some other fun things on the page are from Maya Road, Rusty Pickle, Junkitz, Making Memories and the mist from Tattered Angels.

Here I am on my 25th birthday :-) I went to mac grill, one of my favorite restaurants!!! Yummy, just typing this makes me want to go, I haven't been in forever! I got the sketch for this layout from My Sketch World, you can see the sketch HERE. Pink is my favorite color so I wanted to bring it all out in the layout (: Paper/ribbon is from Creative Imaginations, loving the Maya Road mini cupcakes, of course sprayed with Tattered Angels , gotta throw some Ki Memories with the lace cardstock and ink by Ranger/Tim Holtz, always a go to with Vintage Photo.

The pages above is another great sketch from My Sketch World. I did a combo thing and took some layouts and made them work on a 2 page spread, you can see them HERE and HERE (: I've had this build a bear paper what seems like forever and was so excited that I got the chance to use it, so I wanted to keep the layout simple so you can see the paper :D. The paper is from Creative Imaginations, Fiskars border punch, Scenic Route CB Stars and other goodies from Ek Success and Michaels.

Bye Bye ....

So when I get in a rut, I have this jar in my scrapbook room that has lots of little ideas on strips of paper. Yesterday I was in a rut so I got the jar and pulled out a couple of ideas for me to play with on my page.

Here are the ideas I got: Corner Rounder (I did some of the paper and the entire page), Tear Paper (this was fun an oldie but goodie technique), Chalk (I had to do some digging for that), Patterened Paper (easy enough I have tons of that) and Brads (I used ribbon slotted brads).

Patterened Paper: October Afternoon. Ribbon & Cb Shape: Unknown. Brads: Bazzill. Mist: Tattered Angels. Journaling Spot: Heidi Swapp. Chalk, Pen, ABC, Corner Rounder: Ek Success.

I had lots of fun making this layout, even though I got stuck in the beginning. Its all about me and starting the process of getting my braces, so bye bye went the wisdom teeth. Hope everyone had an awesome weekend! xoxo - Kat
