G45 Passion...
...or obsession...whichever way you look at it :) Speaking of that, I have 5 layouts I wanted to share with you all featuring my love G45!!
First up is one that is pretty special to me. It's a picture of Morgan about just a couple days after she was born. She was so alert right away, with her eyes open. I remember in the hospital, one of the nurses couldn't believe she was only born the day before. So I have this sweet picture of her that I haven't scrapped until now....and finally the perfect papers came along. How can you not be in love with Once Upon A Springtime? I hand-stitched the border around the page and used vellum to add softness.
Next up is a LO about my grandfather using A Proper Gentleman...what could be more perfect for a masculine heritage LO? This one is special to me too...he died when I was 12 and I still really miss him. We were so close and he was the one adult in my life I could always turn to. I made this LO for Scrapstreet using Unity Stamps, when Unity sponsored our DT. I'm not much of a stamp person, but these stamps I was happy to get!!
Next is a LO using a mix of Romantique and Once Upon A Springtime - I actually found that these go together pretty well! I made the border by using scraps of silk fabric underneath the pp border. Wasn't Morgan adorable? She'd just recently turned 1 in that pic.
Next up is another Steampunk Debutante LO, this one about my grandmother. The laser cut chipboard dress form and gears frame are by Scrapmatts. I embossed them with black powder and did several layers on the dress form to give it more dimension. I soooo love this line!!
And last is a LO about me as a little girl, using Once Upon A Springtime and appropriately called Once Upon A Springtime :) I did love the forest when I was little...my grandfather used to take me with him for hours in the summers. The little square with the doll on it is pp from Playtimes Past. I hold onto all my tiny G45 scraps, I can't throw out even the smallest pieces! And now I'm down to very little with Once Upon A Springtime and it seems like yesterday that I was pre-ordering the entire line! Well, I had fun with it :)
In case you're wondering after all this, yes, I will be applying for the G45 DT (how could I not!) and I'll be posting my entire application submissions here very soon.

Nikki Sivils GDT!!!
***For Scraptacular Blog Hop post, see the one below***
I am so excited to be Nikki Sivils' GDT for February - see the post HERE. Of course, I will share my projects here too, and you get my customary million close-ups as well ;) LOL Nikki was SO generous and I got to work with 3 lines that I got to pick!
First up, I will share what I made with Sugar Cookie - I picked this line since it's February and love is in the air :) I'll start with a Disney LO, Pink Love. I also used Scrapmatts shapes - it's the topiary heart and the dress form...I heat embossed them with embossing powder...gives it a nice antique-y texture, as well as the heart leaf sprays, which I covered with stickles.
I also used Sugar Cookie to do a vintage LO about my parents, also using Scrapmatts topiary heart again as well as a ton of Creative Charms - heart, flowers, brads, bling, cakes and lollipops, etc. The white chipboard swirls are also by Scrapmatts and again I heat embossed them.
I also picked the new line "We Are Family" to work with - I really loved the bright colors, like the deep red. First up is another Disney LO (Nikki's pp is perfect for fun LO's!), called Disney in 3D. I used another Scrapmatts topiary heart...I love these, can you tell?? LOL I also used a Scrapmatts kit, and I used a backing sheet that came with it to cut out the right sizes of pp to cover it, and then dressed it up with bows I cut out as well.
Using the new line I made another Heritage LO, "Love Grows Here"...it's my mom with her parents. The red and green flowers and brads, as well as the polka-dot ribbon are by Creative Charms.
And last but not least, I also got the new line "Summer"....soooo perfect for a summer birthday! I made a mini about Morgan's 6th birthday, which we had at the pool. I used an old Bazzill mini I had. I glued 2 cardstock pages together for each page and then strayed them with Sweet Pea Glimmer Mist. Very bright and fun, and I like the watercolor effect.
Ok, thanks for looking!!
