This is a layout I made based week 17’s sketch on The Paper Variety.

On the first day of school, Madison was so excited to finally be going to “big kid” school…until we got there. Then she was terrified. Christian was only 2 months old, and I had him, Matthew and these two with me in the car. I was trying to figure out what to do when Alex asked me if he could take her in and show her around. Phew! My hero! 🙂 He told her school is all about your attitude. If you act confident, tough and smile a lot, everyone assumes you are confident and fun to be around and they won’t mess with you…therefore, my title. For this lo, I used the Wonderfall diecut paper, and floral bouquet. The storyteller alphas are from beautiful. The brackets are from the Wonderfall diecut sticker sheet.

This is a lo I made using MME’s ‘lil robots paper pack. It was for a sketch challenge on Back Porch Memories’ Forum.

In case anyone is wondering, so far my blog is being flooded w/lo’s of Alex because I’d already made scrapbooks for Madison, Matthew and Taten for Christmas and just decided to add this section on my blog recently. 🙂 One of these days, I’ll go back and take pics of their pages and post them. Until then, you’ll just have to put up with me finishing Alex’s album. 😉

Review – My Mind’s Eye Lost and Found Collection

From their Wild Asparagus range to Tres Jolie to Lost and Found, one thing I’ve always loved about My Mind’s Eye is the heavy weight and texture of their cardstock. For this layout I used the Moments papers from the Union Square range. A great feature to this line is that they’ve already included glittered elements on the papers that really make the gorgeous details pop! I didn’t have any lettering that were the color I wanted, so I used white alphas by Pink Paislee, inked them w/distress ink and embossed them which created a really cool marbled affect.

MME also offers many items that coordinate with their products. There are trims, tags, buttons, brads, dimensional stickers, stamp sets and chipboard mini-albums that go with each range in this line. You can see more of their fantastic designs HERE.

I’m pretty new to the world of scrapbooking, but I’ve done a lot of “shopping around.” I’ve discovered a lot of brands that I adore and will eventually get around to sharing them all with you, but I’d like to start with my absolute favorite! Webster’s Pages (www.websterspages.com) has papers, diecut pages, embellishments, trim, journaling cards, etc. that is to die for! Gorgeous, detailed, high quality products. Here are some pics of the layout I created using some of their fantastic papers, stickers and a journaling card.

This layout was created using core’dinations cardstock (the background paper), Webster’s pages 6″ x 6 ” paper for all of the photo mats and frames, Webster’s Pages stickers (the tree, branches and leaves, and butterflies) and journaling card (bottom left corner), Cloud9 rub-ons and Prima flowers.

Here’s a closeup of where I’ve tucked a hidden tag (with a private message for my son) which I matted with Webster’s Pages paper and tied with assorted fibers and charms.

This layout was my entry in the Webster’s Pages September Challenge. I was very impressed with the quality of the papers and how durable their journaling cards are. I adore their lovely designs and vintage look. I just wish I’d had more of their products to work with! I do feel, however, that my layout shows how nicely the Webster’s Pages products coordinate with anything you’ve got on hand. Their products would make a wonderful addition to anyone’s crafting supplies
