Oh hello! I'm up on the Paper Issues blog today sharing my layout for the Grill Skills challenge. 

We have so many jokes about grilling in my family. I couldn't pass this one up. We call my Dad the Grill Master, and my husband the Burn Master. 

This was the perfect opportunity to cut into Simple Stories Summer Farmhouse. I'm a sucker for anything with primary colors as it is. Throw in a summer theme and I'm all in! I started with the Sunnies and Sandals paper for the background. Woodgrain background? No brainer! I knew I wanted to make pinwheels out of the Simple Pleasures paper. So that's what I did. They worked perfectly as a border between the photos and the title! Speaking of the title, if you don't have any of the Simple Stories Foam Alphas, you are missing out. I have them in every color, I used navy today.  The finishing touches are layers of Journal Bits and Combo Cardstck stickers. 

Thanks so much for stopping by my creative view today. When I'm not here, you can find me on Instagram @thebeachygal. See you again soon!

I cant believe it's June already! Well, let's kick off the month right with this Monochromatic Fanatic project I'm sharing on the Paper Issues Blog today!

Who's got the blues? Not me! Well, ok, I guess I do now! All shades of blue! This challenge is so fun for me. I like digging into my stuff too find coordinating pieces!

I put my paper to work for me today. Yes, yes I do that every time I scrap. Anyway, first I cut the Stitching Star Galaxy FREE cut file. Then I layered it over an ombre blue Pink Paislee paper. Boom. That was easy. Now what? Oh yeah. All those blue bits and pieces I grabbed needed to find their way onto the page.  

I snuck a visit to my son on his birthday. I wanted to add pieces that make me think of him and this day. I used Pinkfresh So Cool, Shimelle Never Grow up, Pretty Little Studio and Cocoa Vanilla stickers and ephemera. It's exactly how I wanted it: Positive, Inspiring and BLUE. 

I forget sometimes to mix up my paper collections. The Monochromatic Fanatic challenge is a great reminder to do that! You can find this and all of our challenges in the June Challenge album in our
