 Hello PI fans and friends!  Stacie here on the Paper Issues blog! Today we are all about the June Challenge: Teacher's Pet which is part of our Yearbook Theme.  I am documenting my son's senior year as he made the most of his last year of high school.  He decided to take on leadership roles, take classes at the local community college, volunteer, work after hours at a job,  play a new sport, as well as, write a speech to speak at graduation to name just a few of the senior year highlights. He is definitely a hardworking person that lives life to the fullest! All of ..read more

 Good morning, everyone! Wendy here with you to start your week with a new Scraplift Sunday layout! This week we are lifting one of Jessica's layouts. You can view it by clicking here.

I also love the PinkFresh paper she used with the rainbow going down the right side of the page.

Happy Thursday, PI friends! It's me Sarah hosting today's blog post, and I'm excited to share another June Yearbook Challenge. Are you lovin' these or what?! Today, we are working with the "Save the Planet" challenge. This challenge is about the "most likely to save the planet". You don't have to take that literally; instead, maybe use round elements, planets, or stars. Or maybe you could document your recycling efforts, something that you planted, a day you helped clean up the community. There's so many ways directions to take for this one. Here's my take on this challenge: So, it ..read more

Good morning, friends!  Happy Wednesday, aka: Sketch Day!  Kat popping in to share with you! Today's sketch was made by the awesome Sarah Kee: I really like that the sketch leaves a lot of room for adapting to your own style.  Do you want to use patterned paper?  Mixed Media?  Stamping?  How about all three?  I actually attempted to do all three, although my mixed media game has never been incredibly strong. I knew I wanted to document some recent photos of my daughter stalking peacocks at a ranch we visited recently.  The photos are not that great, bu ..read more

Good morning, everyone! Wendy here with you to start your week with a new Scraplift Sunday layout! This week we are lifting one a layout from yours truly! You may see my original layout by clicking here. I hope you are inspired by it and play along with this scraplift challenge. And now that you've seen the layout, let me show you how I lifted myself.    As you can tell, this layout looks absolutely nothing like the original layout I created... and that's ok! I wracked my brain coming up with the first idea and I was stumped on how to do it again. But let me explain to you ..read more

  Hello everyone! Jessica here, and today I’m sharing my take on the Most Likely to Succeed challenge! This challenge is to document something/someone successful, Journal about what you feel success is so I'm documenting some photos of my hubby working on our farmhouse reno! I started my layout with a sheet of Vicki Boutin Foundations paper to hold all my mixed media. I simply swiped the faded jeans distress oxide pad from top to bottom a few times to start my background. I then added various stamps from my stash and from Ink Blot Shop to add some dimension with some other ..read more
