Love You {Paper Issues Scraplift Sunday Challenge}

Scraplift Sunday is one of my favorite challenges over at Paper Issues because I get to try out another scrapper's style and integrate it with my own. Here's a recent page I made for one of my students:

Here's Olivia's gorgeous layout that I lifted:

Here are some details. I used Photoplay's old Like a Girl collection. This collection has such a lovely color palette. The flowers are from an Amy Tangerine collection, and I think they go well with the Like a Girl line. Dang it!That little lantern brad turned. I hate when that happens!

If the pictures look funny, it's because this student didn't give me permission to post her picture online, so I just photoshopped another student's face who had given me permission. I was delighted to find that brad with the Roman Numeral 4, since I teach fourth grade. In retrospect, I wish I had placed it somewhere else because it looks like I meant it to be part of the title. I always realize these things after I've photographed them. Sigh.

I love this detail of a torn bit of paper on the edge, folded over. I've seen it a lot and always think, "I want to do that on my page," and then I forget, so I was so happy that Olivia included that detail on her page. I always love to lift up the butterflies' wings.

I hope you'll come play along. There are new layouts to scraplift every Sunday, and you have the whole month to play, so we have 5 layouts this month to scraplift, every one of them awesome! Post your scraplift in the Paper Issues Friends & Fans Facebook group, and you might win a gift certificate to the Paper Issues store!

Hello Wonderful Joy {Paper Issues Free File Free for All Challenge}

I made another page for my friend featuring her beautiful daughter. Aren't these the most adorable photos ever? I created this for Paper Issues' Free File Free for All challenge. 

Here are some details. Most everything on the page is from Photoplay's Like a Girl collection. The aqua letters are Thickers. 

The "hello" in the title is from the Life in Pictures free cut file, as is the film strip.

Like a Girl has all these delightful speech bubbles, some on the sticker sheet, and another paper full of them. I cut several of them out on patterned paper and lifted them with pop dots The "happy" is a rub-on"

The diamond sticker made me think of using rhinestones to embellish.

Go check out all the wonderful free cut files at Paper Issues, and while you're there, take a peek at all the new goodies in the store. Use my code Debbi (no e on the end), and you'll receive 20% off your entire order!
