Getting Schooled with Casey

Hey Catch the Moments Fans! I'm so excited today to share a few projects that I put together using the Old School line by Pink Paislee. The colors are rich, fun and just what I needed to kick start my creativity. I'm typically not a quick scrapper. In fact, doing two layouts in one day is pretty much unheard of for me. But this time, I ended up making two layouts and a card in about two hours - yay me! So, if you are looking for a set of papers that are different and easy to use all at the same time, I would definitley encourage you to try out this line. Here's a closer look at the projects...

More Sweetness with Casey...

Good Morning Everyone! Today I'm sharing a couple of fun layouts that I put together using the Sweetness Collection by Pink Paislee. When I first saw this collection, I absolutely fell in love with it. Although it was released during the Valentine's Day time period, you could definitely use it throughout the year on other projects - especially if you love to use pinks and greens together, which is one of my favorites! Check out this first layout where I was able to incorporate a few of the extra elements available in the Sweetness Collection....

I absolutely love the background on the paper - it just gives the layout so much depth...One fun technique that I was able to incorporate into this layout was using some quilting floss for some additional stitching in blue for some additional interest...here is a closer look at that...

For this next layout, I did a page about my daughter's love for playing with building blocks. I incorporated more of the Sweetness goodies and added in a few extra goodies - aren't those buttons delish!

Let's Get Festive!

Hey Everyone! Casey here today to share some goodies from the festive kit. I absolutely love this Jovial line from Basic Grey. The colors have great depth and the way Devon matched up the buttons, ribbon, and paper to make it into the Festive Kit made it really fun to scrap. The first layout highlights one of my new favorite techniques. If you don't have perfect match of ribbon, just use your score it to make the pleats and then simply sew it down to lay flat using your sewing machine... Here's a closer look at the layout and at the pleated paper...

This next layout also has some beautiful festive goodies in it. I'm loving those fun American Crafts, Merry, Thickers right now, too. The colors are just so much fun! On this layout, I fussy cut some of those beautiful elements out of the paper and added a few buttons as accents. Here is a closer look...
