Sugarplum Paperie

Happy Monday! Boy, do I have a lot of great layouts to show you today! Not only has the Creative Team been a bunch of buzy little scrappers this week, I also have two gorgeous layouts to show you from the winners of the “Grab Your Camera” challenge! Let’s jump right in and be inspired:

Here is a beautiful layout from Shaz, using the Petite Fours paper pack. Look at this chickie! She’s all baby–no fat! I’m jealous because I never look this cute when I’m pregnant:

29 weeks

And here is a super cute layout from Jill, using A Little Birdie. I love the playful off-center feel of this one!

Make me Smile

Here is a gorgeous layout from Tigz, using the new Paper Garden collab kit. She has such a way with elements!

Angels Skip Around

Here is a beautiful layout from Nett, using a mix of Flirty Skirty papers, Printed Paperie and other fun stuff. I just love the combination of black and peach colors here. Just gorgeous!

Daydreamer

And here’s a fantastic layout from Michelle, using a mix of Summer Sorbet and Grasshopper Kisses. I just love how she made the tag into a frame and the title is just perfect!

Cold Pug

Be sure to stop by these lovely layouts and leave these girls some praise!

Now, to announce the winners of last week’s “Grab Your Camera” challenge! We had more than 20 players, so I’ll be sending out two gift cards! Our winners had such beautiful layouts, I just had to show them off here during Creative Monday!

Our first winner is Sabrina! Here is her gorgeous layout that she made using the Vintage Garden freebie (which you can find here):

Me & My Camera

And our second winner is Cheryl! Here is her stunning layout, using the new Paper Garden collection:

My Obsession

Congratulations, girls! I’ll be sending you an e-mail so you can go shopping! Aren’t they both fantastic layouts?! Everyone had such a great submissions for this contest. I just love seeing all your work. I always say that I like for you to leave me links so I can see your layouts. This one way (my evil plan!) to get you to send me those lovely little links. Mwua-haha!!

Well, I hope you find all these layouts to be inspiring… get your creative juices flowing and the like. Oh! And before I forget–one last thing! There is a new template at the Shanty, so be sure to stop by and pick it up. This week I picked one of my own paper layouts to make into a template. I hope you enjoy scrapping with it!

Coming to a Sugarplum Paperie near you–SOON!

I’ve been so busy with this today, I almost forgot–I’m off to The Shanty for some template inspiration! See you over there.

Happy scrapping!

So, I was teasing Jessy the other day, telling her that if I couldn’t get her to make digital layouts for the Creative Team, I’d just start using her paper layouts that she’s posting at the Shanty. But I did kinda mean it—she’s been inspiring me! Take a look at this great layout:

Star Quality

This layout really got me thinking. I love her snapshot. So much so that we’re going to have a Challenge! Here are the rules so you can play along:

1) Grab your camera!

2) Take a snapshot of yourself.

3) Scrap it!

4) Use some Sugarplum things on your layout (freebies are fine, too!).

5) Come back here and leave me a link to your layout to enter!

I’ll give you the weekend to play and then pick a winner on Monday morning. So feel free to leave me a link up until midnight on Sunday, June 22nd (EST)!

And what’s the prize? A $5 gift card to the Sugarplum Paperie shop! And how many will win? Well… that depends on how many play along! For every 10 people who play along, I’ll give out 1 gift card—so the more scrappers, the better! Feel free to spread the word!

Here’s my layout:

And here’s one from Andrea:

And another from Crystal:

Come and join us and make your own. So much fun!

Best of luck to you and happy, happy scrapping!
