A Winner + some Bella Hearts

Pea name: JamieH 

Congrats to JamieH, she's won a spot in Shimelle's new class, The Hitchhiker's Guide to Scrapbooking over at 2Peas.  Jamie, please email me and I'll set your access into the class. Thanks everyone for your comments!

Larger photo + supply list here.

And here's the full page reveal. This is a really clean and graphic page for me. I wanted that blue focal point photo to really pop and what better way to do that than on a stark white background. I cut the hearts out with the Silhouette and I love how it handles these intricate cuts. The shape is called stitched hearts - it's a favorite!

I layered a bunch of hearts on a square sheet of vellum, added pop dots underneath so they didn't look flat and then embellished with the tiny attacher, buttons and a sticker. This page came together really quickly and I was able to finish it in about an hour - that's super marathon scrapbooking for me!

Time to spend some time blogging! I've been so busy creating and filming that I haven't been around much. So tonight I sat down and scheduled out posts for the next long while. I miss sharing (and talking to myself) here. Ha!

First a share..

Click here for a list of products used.

This page is about our youngest nephew and his first bubble gun. The pictures are from a day spent on the boardwalk last year. The poor little guy spends so much time waiting around for the 'big kids' to go on rides that he's too short for. On this day though, he was happy with his discovery of the bubble gun!

I love the stark contrast of the dark wood and then the bold, bright patterns of My Mind's Eye Miss Caroline line. I added a small envelope to ground part of the title and a journal card for a short story. The stitched circles in the center add that 'little something different' that I'm always looking for. Understated, but draws the eye right back to the photos.

And now for a winner...

I completely forgot to come back and choose a winner for the 2Peas in a Bucket Garden Girl blog hop a few weeks ago. So without delay, our winner -
