Paper Issues: Product Spotlight: Shimelle - Go Now Go

Hi Creatives!

Time for another Paper Issues Product Spotlight & today we're shining the light on 

 Shimelle Go Now Go

As you know, I bought and LOVED this collection when it was first released, so I didn't have much left to play with! But I love a challenge ;) 

Here's what I came up with, 

"Happy Good Day"

How awesome is this?! 

I didn't have many papers left, but I did have a few embellishments - just love how this turned out!

And that larger photo is just divine! It makes it all work so well!

Let's take a closer look......

Glittered rose gold Thickers are always for the win! La la LOVE them!

And how about the layered stickers too?!!

So many stunning embellies!!! Those sweet puffy hearts are just too cute & fun!

And who doesn't love an enamel button or two?

I've used a stack of stickers on this layout too!

 I bought the sticker pad, and seriously 10 layouts or so later, I still have stickers to use! Great value!

Gosh! Just look at those aaahmazing glitter Thickers! All.the.heart.eyes for these!

I used the patterned paper Stroll for my page base. I just love all the fun details on it! 

So much fun indeed!

And there you have it! 

Hope you loved my layout as much as I do!

Hi Everyone! 

Do you love a sweet sampler of papercraft yummies delivered to your door once a month?

Then the Paper Issues Swag Bag is for you!

The Swag Bag is the best lil bag of scrappy joy around!

For today's Swag Bag feature I've been diving into my awesome September Bag. 

I know, it's December but seriously, Cassie packs so much into these bags I had a ton of embellies and 3 x 4 cards to use up!

But enough chatter, here's my layout.....

"Travel"

Isn't this a cool boy layout?!! Perfect for my Mr A headed for vacation!

I've used Shimelle's Go Now Go collection: Here 12 x 12 paper 

but everything else on my layout is from the September Swag Bag! 

Told you it was awesome!

Let's take a closer look....

How awesome is that rose gold glitter title & embellies?!!

Lots of fun patterned paper 3 x 4 cards to layer with, and more sweet embellishments! 

I spy Shimelle, WeRMemoryKeepers, and even some Pink Paislee too!

Paper Issues: October Roll the Dice

Hi Everyone!

Welcome back for more Paper Issues fun with the new challenge

This month the dice determined that we need to use 6 photos! 

& exactly 3 stickers on our layouts!

WOW! That's quite a lot of pictures and not many stickers at all!

But you know, 

 I do love a good challenge....

Here's my take, 

"Wander" 

How awesome is this?!!

I have been meaning to scrap these holiday pics since about April, & I am so glad I finally did it!

I LOVED the scrap lift we did last month of Orange Gearle's grid style layout, 

& this is really another take on it! 

To make my photos 'fit', I combined 4 of them into the one pic using a photo editing app on my phone. 

I've used the fabulous new Shimelle collection: GoNowGo & my three stickers are the 2 tiny yellow puffy hearts plus, that incredible rose gold glitter Thickers title, 'Wander'. 

Let's take a closer look.....

The Thickers in this collection are stunning, huh?! Love this title!

Apart from the bright & fun colours in the pattern papers, 

there's also a bunch of sweet coordinating embellishments in this layout including ephemera, puffy stickers, & wooden buttons.

Those wooden buttons are really cool! A great alternative to flair too!

Let's GO! Best little holiday we've had in a while - so much fun!!!

Check out the cute pic below...

Hilarious! Love my boy!!!

So glad this challenge got me to scrap these special memories!

Love the new Shimelle collection as much as I do?

You can buy it all in the Paper Issues store

I have used the stunning new Shimelle: Go Now Go collection to create this warm, Fall & Woodlands kinda page. 

Just look at those pattern papers!!! The woodgrain is perfection! LOVE! 

And those rose gold glitter thickers?!!! Swoooooooon!

There's more awesome embellishments in this collection too - let's take a lil look....

The wooden buttons are the sweetest and the ephemera is super cute too!
