Hello all!  Happy Monday and welcome to a new week!

Today my latest article for Craft Critique is up, and it was such a fun one to do.  Focusing on Kitschy Digitals cut out sheets for the hybrid or non-digi scrapper was a blast, pushing me to think outside the box a little bit but loving the fun designs and colors so much! 

Here’s a couple layouts and a project I put together:

Dearest Bob.  He is the first thing Alan and I ever bought for our house together.  Honestly I think it was the day we closed the sale.  We went to Home Depot to start to day dream about projects, ran across a shelf full of Bob’s, looked at each other and said “Aw c’mon… every home needs a garden gnome”. 

Bob is also a sprinkler… his head pops up and he spews water from his neck in all directions.

I know…. freaky cool.

Here’s another:

You might recognize those photos from this post. :)  

And then a little recipe book made from a Making Memories journaling tag book.  Aren’t these little fruit elements adorable?

Love them! 

I have tons of wonderful product left over that will find it’s way into a few more projects in the near future I’m sure.  In the meantime to see some detail shots and inside the album, as well as one more project… I’d love it if you headed over to Craft Critque to read the article itself.  Loved these – definitely some pros and cons – but really loved them.

Thanks so much! 

Tonight I have big plans, I am doing some digi scrapping that I’ll share asap along with a super fun opportunity that I’m so excited and honored about!

It’s not a secret… I just like supsense.   Hee hee.

Hope you’re having an ok day, and if not,  just think of it as that much closer to Friday.  ;)   Have a wonderful afternoon and thanks for stopping by!

    Those are all so cute Jess! And I love that you used the whole MM book for an album. Great idea. Can’t wait to hear/see what you other news is.

  • Awesome pages and I love what you did w/ the Making Memories book. Very clever and so cute! :)

    Left you a little something on my blog here.

    EEEE!!! Everything is so stinkin’ fabulous, Jess!! I’ve been meaning to make a little album out of my MM book, too but I just haven’t done it yet. I used a bunch of the pages for journaling but there’s enough left to make a cute mini. Thanks for the inspiration!! Your book is darling!!!!

    Yea I agree on the previous posts, your scrapbook layouts are really no doubt very wonderful and lovely. The designs and embellishments match directly to the theme of each layout.
