NSD with Fancy Pants Designs!

Hi there Fancy Pants fans! Thanks for joining us today for the 2014 National Scrapbooking Day blog hop. If you arrived here without first visiting the Fancy Pants Designs blog please head there and see what this is all about. 

I'm showing you a couple of cards today. Even if you can't take the time for a full page you can at least whip up a card or two to celebrate the day.

Both of these are "welcome baby" cards for some special pregnant friends:

What does the fox say?  He says he loves you! The fox was cut on my Cameo and the paper is all from the As You Wish collection.

And here a couple of sweet elephants, also cut on the Cameo.  This paper is from the Be Different collection and that balloon is from the ephemera set... so cute!

Please keep on hopping with us! Here's the full list of blogs:

Hello Sunshine!

I was up at the Pink Paislee blog this weekend featuring this Pinterest inspired project with a printable birthday interview and coordinating traditional page.

This line is SO MUCH fun and just brings a smile to my face! You can see more details on the Pink Paislee blog!

Count Your Lucky Stars!

It’s new issue day at Paper Issues and this round we’re planning to Count Your Lucky Stars!  The theme is open to your interpretation and could include projects for St. Patrick's Day, someone you're star struck over, movie stars, astrology, astronomy, use stars on your page, counting on someone or something, chance encounters, fortune cookies, or anything else you can relate!

Our generous sponsor for this issue is Lori Whitlock and if you link up your project you could win a $25 GC to the Lori Whitlock store!

I used her fun star cluster cut file on this layout:



I have stars all over the place on this sucker… it certainly qualifies for counting my lucky stars! I also used a bunch of As You Wish from Fancy Pants Designs.  I love this collection. 



You can see the awesome star cluster Lori Whitlock cut file I used here… boom! Starsplosion!



Have you checked out the Paper Issues swag bags yet??  It’s super fun to get an inexpensive collection of all sorts of ephemera and embellishments each month!  I used a whole bunch of the March Swag Bag on my layout today:



So link up your stuff!  You know you wanna!
