Lots of Lawn Fawn and American Crafts Love!

 American Crafts & Lawn Fawn Card - "C U at the Shore!"
I am just in love with the AC Shoreline! Its got the perfect mix of  colors and design.  I took the house from Lawn Fawn's 2011 Halloween stamp set and made it into a "shore house"!  Top it off with some twine and you are good to go...

Lawn Fawn "Flying By to Say Hi" Card

Paper airplanes stamped on AC Amy Tangerine

Here's another American Crafts/Lawn Fawn card that I recently made.   I just love the Paper Airplanes stamps from LF.  I stamped the little airplanes on several different Amy Tangerine papers and then fussy cut them out.

My last card is made with the Studio Calico Chevron mask we have in the store for sale.  I just LOVE this mask!  I used two different Tim Holtz inks to distress sponge the background, then used the mask again to do a dry emboss technique for the middle strip.  Add a little bit of distress ink and twine...walah!  I just love these bright distress inks Tim's been coming out with!  Have you seen the latest summer set Christy just got in stock? Ta' die fau!!

Lastly, here's a layout I made with American Crafts Amy Tangerine.  This is my sweet niece Alayna Grace.  I adore the color scheme in this line!  (Sorry for the bad photo!)

Thanks for looking Scrappy Friends!  Yall come see us at the store to pick up any of the products used in these projects!

Tiny, stamped Valentines, using the K.I.S.S. technique and more!

This cute little set of Valentines was stamped with Love 'n Breakfast from Lawn Fawn available here. The cards measure just 2 x 2 and are oh so cute!  The KISS Technique is "Keep It Simple Stupid".  I used just one extra color on each one...Pink for the stud muffin, a little bit of yellow for my eggs and an oh so cute red bowtie for my toast!  (Who doesn't love a piece of toast in a bowtie?)   This set of three took me about 20 minutes to make...no time at all!

Hello! My name is Colleen Gorman Chambers, & I am so excited to be a part of Christy's Design Team! I've been scrapbooking for only 2 1/2 yrs...ever since I switched careers to full time Stay at Home Mom! I have two kidlets, Madeline (13) & Dillon (7). My husband Greg is the manager at Floral Tree Gardens on Hwy 29, and we have been living in Beulah for nine years now! My family is originally from Upstate NY, & in middle school, we moved to Mobile, AL. I am the youngest of 6 kids & was the only one to move to Mobile w/my parents. I graduated from McGill-Toolen Catholic H.S. in Mobile and then attended the University of South Alabama.

I would classify my scrapbooking style as eclectic, with a few dabs of classic & quirky. I use a lot of black, white & bold colors (I'm not scared to use neon people!), and I love to doodle and journal with my white pens on dark papers. I tend to go through phases where I go absolutely bonkers over a certain icon or theme; Last year it was owls (who doesn't love these "wise" birds?) and this year it has been chandeliers! My daughter and I are currently re-doing her room, and I found a FABULOUS, gaudy chandelier in a local antique store, that is just begging to be spray painted hot pink! (Probably a project that I will want to share pictures & post about!)

Thanks for taking the time to get to know me, and I look forward to sharing some of my "style" with you guys! You will also see me on occasion working part-time inside Scraphappy! I do have a blog that is currently a "work in progress", so when its up and running, I'll post the link.

Bye for now!
