{easy canvas prints...

I was approached by Easy Canvas Prints to review their canvas prints recently. Here is a look at the 16x20 inch canvas wrap print I received from them using a photo I took of Ella playing in the sprinkler this summer.

First off the quality is superb! I ordered my print with the .75 inch image wrap. They also offer a 1.5 inch wrap and a couple of different styles. I LOVE my 16x20 print but they offer a wide range of sizes and options.The delivery time was prompt and my print was well protected. What's more is that their prices are so reasonable! I have always wanted to convert some of my photos into canvas print form and I can honestly say I am loving the look of it. This is the first of many canvas prints I will be ordering from Easy Canvas Prints! I love it to see the transformation from photo to canvas! Go check them out!

{a peek into my smash journal & a SC sneak...

From the first time I saw the preview of the Smash books, I was in love!
So, when Studio Calico had them in the shop, I snagged up 4! I couldn't decide which one I wanted the most. :0)

I have one started as my running journal, gave one as a gift to a special friend, and the other 2 were just sitting on a shelf looking pretty. Now, I'm just like the rest of you and am all about Pinterest these days, but I wanted something I could take with me to crops and to just have when my computer isn't with me. So, I dedicated my red smash book as my inspiration & design team calendar. Here's a little sneak of what my book looks like so far...

{like ketchup & mustard..

Almost forgot about posting this! Here's a little GCD Studios inspiration for you today.
----------------------------------------
Take a look at this amazing photograph! All the beautiful umbrellas mixed together and visually recorded for one amazing piece of art...sigh...
Photobucket

The first thing I was inspired by with this piece was of course the umbrellas. The shapes of them and how they seemed to be layered. I wanted to mimic that on my page.
So, I grabbed these three diffent sized punches...

Photobucket

Randomly punched pieces from these papers...
{Salon Stripe, Red & Green - Scandia Jul Collection by Rob and Bob}


{Holiday Pop Dots - Scandia Jul Collection by Rob and Bob}


{Scandinavian Holiday Stripe - Scandia Jul Collection by Rob and Bob}


{Coney Island - Funhouse Collection by Tina Higgins}


{Adventurer - The Great Outdoors Collection by Heather Tozzi}


{Fauna Stripe, Aqua - Animal Crackers Boy Collection by Rob and Bob}

...along with some yellow cardstock and some scraps from my stash.

Ran them through my Xyron 9" runner...

and randomly attached them overtop of black cardstock.

When it comes to my twin nieces, they are as opposite as they come, but like "ketchup and mustard", they belong together so perfectly...
Photobucket

The perfect way to use these fun charms from the Great Outdoors collection!

I love where random inspiration can take you!
Happy Creating!

{homegrown...

This months challenge over at JBS is to mix up the old with the new. It's my first layout for JBS, so I was excited to take part.

I combined the "homegrown" paper from the Homespun Paper pack with the new Be Our Guest - Mini Papers. The little house worked perfectly for my apple orchard theme. And those chalkboard alpha stickers have been a fave of mine for a long time. I mixed them with the new red shadow alpha to highlight the word "apple" in my title.

Hope you're able to be creative this weekend!

{e & her hand me down boots...

I had the honor of meeting a few scrapbooking friends this weekend... Jennifer & Janet. Sometimes it's just fun to pack up some paper and take it to a new location. Plus, when you're among creative people and a whole store of goodies...that always helps!
