NEW PAPER!!!!

I LOVE when we get new paper in at the store!!! It is just so fun to see all the new prints!

We got in two new paper lines this week: Under the Sea by Echo Park and Cartopia by CartaBella

I just got SO EXCITED when I saw these lines!! As soon as I saw the Submarine paper from the Under the Sea collection, I knew EXACTLY which die-cut I would pair it with! This is Family of Fish by Memory Box

This paper line also has ADORABLE stamps!! I just *fell in love*

When I saw the Cartopia line.. I immediately had to make a scrapbook page idea! It is just *perfect* for showcasing photos from a road trip!!

I got inspired from ideas on Pinterest (YES, even us creative ladies need Pinterest to get inspired sometimes!!) I loved this idea of folding a page back to expose a pattern underneath and then tacking it in place using a Glue Dot and an orange button. How cute is that?!?

Bekah and I brainstormed ideas on how to make this page fun without making it TOO busy.

I used this die cut from Memory Box, Pinpoint Single Frame. I cut it out of a piece of red paper two times and backed the cutout with black paper. The effect looks almost like a photo strip! It is simple enough to make the page look complete instead of too busy... and gives a nice space to add a couple photos.

We were looking everywhere in the store for a good title for the page.. and then it hit me!! (no pun intended) 

This die-cut from Sizzix, Regal Crest is the PERFECT shape for an interstate sign!! We used two styles of lettering die-cuts, also from Sizzix, to make the little sign. I AM IN LOVE!!! I could not be happier with how it turned out.. what a fun idea!!

To finish off the page, we used these car stickers by Mrs. Grossman's, a bit of Crystal Lacquer and a touch of Star Dust Stickles. I just HAD to add the lacquer to the little head lights! The Stickles were perfect for adding a prickle to the cactus!

I also made a couple cards using this same paper line and they were TOO CUTE! This Happy Summer die-cut is made by Taylored Expressions

This Adventure die-cut is part of a set, campfire sayings, by Cottage Cutz

With all the other die-cuts we carry.. you can be inspired with other ideas too!! This Old Woody holding a surf board (made by Impression Obsession) would be a perfect addition to any card or page using this paper!

It sure is fun to create! Stop by and see us this weekend.. we would LOVE to share these ideas with you!!
