Amazing
My inspiration for Amazing came from some of the names given to the individual papers from the " Knave of Hearts"Collection. I loved all the expressive names such as Witty and Charming and also Summer Days - I found a photo of my middle boy(Kye) where I had captured alot of expression in his face, while having water play with a hose during the Summer. Who couldn't sum up the one's they love, with all these gorgeous Knave Die cut Shapes?.
and for some close up's....

“10 Summer Resolutions”
by Jill Sprott
As
a teacher, I look forward to summer vacation even more than my
students. However, two months away from my usual routines can be
somewhat disorienting, so I always set a few (flexible) goals for
myself at the beginning of summer. Just two weeks into summer, I’m
already making progress and enjoying myself. When I saw the “top ten”
Knave of Hearts journaling card, I knew that it would be perfect for
this layout.
Supplies:
12 x 12 Scallop Paper: 1934
Knave of Hearts:
Papers: Lovable, Witty, Charming, Knave Crafting Strips
Journaling Cards
Collage Cuts Die Cut Rings and Die-Cut Shapes
Knave Alphabet Stickers
Sweet Shoppe:
Collage Cuts Die-Cut Shapes
Crafting Strips Sweet
Other -- chipboard letters (Basic Grey), paint, rhinestones
“The Boys of Summer”
by Jill Sprott
This time of year always makes me a little wistful, thinking back to the summers that I spent with my brother and my cousins at my grandparents’ house. Every time I see this photo I break into a huge grin, because it so completely captures the spirit of those summers -- dirt, tools, wheels, friendship, and laughter.
Supplies:
Knave of Hearts:
Papers: Queen of Hearts, Summer's Day, Charming, Knave Crafting Strips
Knave Alphabet Stickers
Collage Cuts Die-Cut Journaling Tags and Die-Cut Shapes
I also made use of the cover sheet that came with the collection; you can see it behind the photo as well as in some of the title letters.
Sweet Shoppe:
Paper: Yum
Other -- letter stamps (Studio Calico)
Cheese
by Kristin Faust
Cardstock: Bazzill. Pattern Paper: Collage Press Sweet Shoppe. Die Cuts: Collage Press Knave of Hearts and Sweet Shoppe. Letter Stickers: Collage Press Sweet Shoppe. Brads: Queen and Company. Buttons: Creative Cafe. Mini Letter Stickers: Making Memories. Other: String, Staples.
I added regular adhesive behind the star die cut in the center. I then added foam pop up dots around the edges to make an impressive photo corner. I really enjoy mixing up the sizes of my letter stickers, it just makes everything more fun!
Sticky, Yummo, Mickey Mouse Lollypop!

(Kristin's Bio will be posted later today!)
One of the things I love the most about this line are the Collage Cuts. They are super easy to use and with a little creativity, can be used for more than just journaling.
To accent my focal point photo I hand cut three journaling die cuts and then layered them around my photo. The best part is that by cutting out the middles, I still have journaling spots left over to use another time.
These photos were taken by my mother in law while in the airport with her point and shoot. Some of my favorite shots are out of focus so I printed them at wallet size. The blurriness is much less noticeable and I still get to use my favorite photos!
Supplies:
Cardstock: Bazzill. Pattern Paper, Die Cuts, Letter Stickers: Collage Press. Photo Corners: American Crafts. Brads: Queen and Company. Jewels: Kaiser Craft. Buttons: Sassafrass Lass.
Sweet Anticipation
Julie Overby
The moment I layed my eyes on ‘Sweet Shoppe’ by Collage Press, I knew exactly which photos I wanted scrap with it first. It the photos I had just taken of my daughter getting ready to perform the Nutcracker. She loves ballet but when it got closer to the performance, she became very uncertain about getting up on the ‘big stage.’ I wanted to get some shots of her in the dressing room before the big debut so that she would remember those excited and nervous feelings and also how much she ended up absolutely loving it.
Journaling: Before your very first ballet, you said over and over that you did not want to go on the big stage. But you were brave and in the end, you loved being in the Nutcracker.
Collage Press: Cardstock - Sweet Shoppe (Yum,) Pattern Paper - Sweet Shoppe (Hey Cupcake,) Die Cut - Sweet Shoppe (Die Cut Rings, Die Cut Journaling Tags)

CRAZY COUSINS
Lori Mancini
Wow am I ever in love with the new Sweet Shoppe Collection of Papers!!! The colours are so vibrant and fresh...perfect to scrap happy, silly and fun layouts with! As soon as my box of goodies showed up on my doorstep and I looked inside I knew I had the perfect photo's to go with this beautiful paper. My only problem was deciding which ones to use...and decide I couldn't...so I used them all!! This was a little out of my comfort zone as I am such a strong one photo scrapper...but I love how it turned out and I hope you are inspired to dive into this delicious paper as well. My layout this month is of my son and his little cousin who is attached at his hip when they are together. They are so much alike - both crazy personalities - I was estatic one day when she "allowed" me to take some photo's of the two of them. I love how their personalities show through in the photo's and I wanted a bright and vibrant layout to showcase this. The best part is that this entire layout took only about 30 minutes to complete with the help of the awesome Collage Cuts (Die Cut Shapes), Crafting Strips, Alphabet Stickers, Journaling spots and the incredible new Die Cut Rings and Paper.
Here are some close up shots to see more details:

The journaling on #5 is great & I like the series of photos. Finally, #6 is so pretty & girly, like everything aboutr it & the papers match the photos so well.
