Hello everyone and Happy New Year! And Welcome to the Season's Givings Blog Hop. So glad to have you stopping by. If you are a regular reader, thank you for hanging in there with me, as my blog has been pretty neglected lately. If you are new here, I'd love to have you stick around! Also, if you'd like to see more, visit my Instagram account. I post there all the time. It's @agomalley.

Anyway, I thought I'd share a few cards that I made recently for Emma's Paperie. I definitely see a theme in my cards - layers, flowers, Crate Paper and white space. Hope you enjoy them.

Today, I have a giveaway. If you'd like to be entered, just leave a comment. If you don't have a blogger account linked to your email, leave your email address, too. Here are my goodies. The paper is Pink Paislee and Studio Calico. You can enter until midnight on Friday, January 8.

Be sure to stop by these blogs, as well. Each one has giveaway and the more blogs you visited the better chance you have at winning. Good luck and thanks for stopping by. Happy New Year!!!

Gossamer Blue Blog Hop

Hi and Welcome to the Gossamer Blue December Blog Hop. I know that it's been a long time since I've posted. No excuses. Honestly, I just haven't spent as much time here as I used to. I definitely will be back with more, though. 

Today I have a couple of planner spreads that I created with the December kits. This first one uses a Life's Pages card on which I added a pink flower die cut.  I also used a banner sticker and some die cuts. One of the things I like to do best is to use paper instead of washi tape The funky Basic Grey paper was my favorite from this month's kits, so I cut strips of it and added them to my page. 

This next spread is the one I am going to use this week. I added some paper strips from the Memorandum paper pad and the number stickers from the Simple Stories sticker set. I had to add the cute eyelash stickers just because. The card is from the Life's Pages kit and I added the stickers and little clip.

As you can see, the December kits really lent themselves to planner decorating. Hope you were able to gain some inspiration today! Thanks for stopping by. Be sure to head on over to the rest of the DT blogs for even more inspiration.

Gossamer Blue September Blog Hop

It's that time of the month, again. Time to share projects that we made with Gossamer Blue's September kits. They are adorable and I had so much fun with them. Filled with Crate Paper, Pinkfresh Studio and GB exclusives, they don't disappoint. There are still a few kits left, so hop over to the shop and grab one before they are all gone.

AND, as an added bonus this month, I have a giveaway! My mistake is your gain. I ordered two of the Scrapbook Add On 2. It is now sold out, but leave a comment by Sunday, September 20 at 11:59 pm and I'll choose a lucky winner to send it to. (US only)

So, here is one of the layouts I created this month. I absolutely adore the triangle paper on this Pinkfresh paper.

I cut a part of the paper and trimmed around the triangles. Then I attached them to my page. From there, I added a few extra embellishments and VOILA, my page was done. It was really quick and easy.

My next layout uses a bunch of the sweet Crate Paper Wonder collection. I loved the kitty embellishment and journaling card had to use them on a page about my sweet cat. The chipboard frames were perfect for layering, as were the die cuts. 

Be sure to stop by the rest of the team blogs for loads of inspiration. And don't forget. Leave a comment for your chance to win this awesome kit:

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Planner Pages Gossamer Blue Style!

Hi and Welcome to this month's Gossamer Blue Blog Hop. It's always fun to get more inspiration and that's what we are here to do. Today, I have some fun planner projects to share with you. As you know, I love my planners. The August kits were perfect for filling up my Light Pink Color Crush and keeping me organized in a fun way! I started off by choosing some of my favorite items and filling my front pockets with them. These are the things that I am most likely to need as I plan through the week. I love adding some extra die cuts, too, as decorative items.

Next, I made a dashboard for my planner. This is usually the first page I open and I like to add something with a fun quote. This one sums me up perfectly!

I pulled several of the die cuts to decorate this spread. I used polka dot washi down the side of the page and added cut paper strips along the top and bottom. This way, I could keep things color coordinated even though I didn't have the matching washi.

I love using Life's Pages cards and die cuts in my planners. Here I adhered the cute bus to the card. I added my weekly to do list on the back of the card.

Flair badges are perfect for making cute clips! I just hot glued this one to the paper clip and I was done. I did a couple of more and keep them in my front pocket, too.

This next spread uses even more of the goodies from the kits. Again, the die cuts and label stickers worked great! I also used some stamps. I love the banner stamp and colored it with my Prismacolor pencils.

I also used the kit items to decorate my monthly page. I usually decorate this one as I go along. Here it is at the beginning of the month.

As you can see, the August kits are so much fun and have lots of great elements for planner decorating.

Be sure to stop by everyone's blogs. There's tons of inspiration to go around!
Have a great day. :)

Gossamer Blue August Projects

It can't be August 1st! The summer is going way to quickly. I don't want it to end yet. We have had a wonderful time traveling and making memories.  I just got back from a wonderful week in the Outer Banks. I love it there so much. Luckily, Gossamer Blue's August kits are filled with amazing summery goodness. I had a ball creating with them and still have a bunch more that I want to do using them.

The kits go on sale today, so be sure to head over and grab your's . You won't be disappointed! Here are a couple of projects that I made using them.

   

I loved this Simple Stories paper and wanted it to be the focus of my page, along with the photo. So, I added a couple of embellishments and called it a day. I love how it totally captured the 'Maui' feeling!

This next page is one about Ryan. I loved the Life's Pages card and used it to document his 'currents'. The 'he' die cut originally said 'she'. I just cut off the s. Love how it turned out.

Be sure to head over to Gossamer Blue to see the amazing DT Gallery this month and to check out the kits!

Crate Paper Card Set

This summer is just flying by! We spent a wonderful two weeks in Hawaii. As soon as I got home, though, the vacation was over. I had to pack my mom's house and help her move to her new retirement community. Her new place is great, but it's a lot smaller so it's going to take some time to sort through everything. The week was exhausting while we packed, moved and unpacked, but I think I am finally over my jet lag. LOL. This weekend finally brought some time to relax.

Here are a few cards that I made with Gossamer Blue's July kits. They are so fun and perfect for documenting all of your summer getaways or staycations.  I used the Crate Paper Journeys line on here. It's so cute!

Head over to Gossamer Blue, as there are still some kits available.

Thanks for stopping by!

July Gossamer Blue Projects

It's July 1st and you know what that means! The Gossamer Blue kits are live! This month, Lori pulled together some fun travel themed goodies for the kits. As you can see, though, you don't have to be going anywhere to use them. I really had a lot of fun creating this month. Here are 3 layouts that I made.

This first page is about how much I love the beach, specifically the beach at my brother's home in Nags Head, NC. The lighter colors were perfect for my photo.

The cute wood clouds are from Shimelle's wood die cut set. Love them!

Next is a page about my high school BFF. I love using cards from the Life's Pages kits on my pages. I layered the 'fantastic' one with the camera one to create the title.

 Finally, this is a page about my little family and how I love journeying through life with them. I used a mix of fun things on here. My favorites are the wood 'adventure' word and the feather border from the Crate Paper Journeys die cut set.

Finally, if you love stamps, be sure to check out the set that comes with the Life's Pages set this month. It is fabulous. Here is my favorite one!

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great day!
