Some Exciting News!

Hello friends! It's been so long since I have posted here on my blog. I wanted to share some happy news today. I have a layout included in the Fall 2018 issue of Scrapbook And Cards Today Magazine!

Here is the layout that I created.

I'm all about using up paper collections and cut paper strips from the Echo Park Paper A Perfect Autumn Collection. I love the teal mixed in with the typical autumn colored papers. To complete the layout, I added some machine stitching with the teal twine and my We R Memory Keepers Stitch Happy Sewing Machine. 

It is another fabulous issue and I am excited to be included in Scrapbook And Cards Today's 51st issue.  There are so many amazing layouts from many scrapbookers. The magazine can be purchased at many scrapbook stores in Canada and the U.S.A. and it can be downloaded for FREE here.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend! 

Hugs,

My Layouts Published in Fall 2017 Creative Scrapbooker Magazine

Hello friends! It's been a while since I have posted. Life has been busy and with so many big stressors in my life right now, I have had to focus more on family and priorities. I miss scrapbooking as much as I have done in the past. It truly is so therapeutic.

Every so often really good things come along and at the present, they are welcomed more than ever. I have two layouts published in the Fall 2017 issue of Creative Scrapbooker Magazine that should be on newsstands September 1.

 The first layout on page 126 is of my puppy Syd and all the hikes we have done with him. This was originally for design team work when I was on the Paper House Productions design team last term.

The second layout, Pumpkin Pie on page 117 was created last Fall for design team work at My Creative Scrapbook using the 2016 November Creative Kit. If you know me, you know that I love to bake and so I thought I would create a layout of Pumpkin Pie for Thanksgiving.

It is always a thrill to be published and I have been very honored to be published in Creative Scrapbooker Magazine many times since the Spring 2013 issue. 

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today. I hope you have an awesome day!

Easter Layout In Creative Scrapbooker Magazine

Hello friends! I hope you are all having a great day.  Today I thought I would share that the Spring 2016 issue of Creative Scrapbooker Magazine is being mailed to subscribers and contributors and I am excited to have a layout published on page 103 of this printed magazine.  It should be on newsstands by March 1.

Creative Scrapbooker (formerly named Canadian Scrapbooker Magazine) is expanding and will now be available to purchase in the United States, but has been available to subscribers worldwide for many years.  Recently, they celebrated their tenth anniversary and I'm pretty sure I have every issue on my studio shelf since the very beginning in the year 2005.   So far in my scrapbooking journey, I have been blessed to be published in this magazine 18 times with two of those being the alternate layouts to the front cover.

Creative Scrapbooker Magazine - Spring 2016

For my layout, I created an Easter themed layout with these two cuties.

I used the Half Shell Background cut file from Just Nick Digital Cut Files and cut it out on white card stock with my electronic cutting machine and then backed the egg shaped cut designs with patterned papers from the Simply Spring Collection by Bella Blvd. giving it more dimension by adding dimensional foam squares.  I added some chipboard shapes, stickers and some flair buttons (Hashtag Easter) from my favorite flair shop A Flair For Buttons.

Thanks for stopping by and have a creative day!

The February 2016 Bella Buzz

Hello friends! Today Bella Blvd. has released a new newsletter for February named The Bella Buzz.

I was honored to be asked to have a layout included in this newsletter.  You can download the newsletter here:

Anchors Away Layout In Scrapbook & Cards Today Summer 2015 Magazine!

Hello friends!  Happy Friday! It's a good day here today. My son has finished his last final exam for grade ten so school is officially out for summer! I remember that wonderful feeling well.

Today I wanted to share my layout that was published in the Summer 2015 issue of Scrapbook And Cards Today Magazine.

Anchors Away Layout - by Lee-Anne Thornton (photo courtesy of Allison Orthner)

On my birthday three years ago, my husband gave me a wonderful gift…a cruise of the Hawaiian Islands on the Norwegian Cruise Lines Pride Of America.  This wasn't just any cruise, it was Crop And Cruise 2012, a scrapbooking and photography cruise with at least 80 Canadian women and American women and did we have lots of laughs and fun let me tell you.  I have never been on a cruise before and never been to Hawaii so it was amazing!  We docked in several ports and saw Maui, Kauai, The Big Island Of Hawaii,  and Oahu (Honolulu).

My layout was created with the Ahoy There Collection of papers and stickers, the die cut title and nautical wheel were cut with my Sihouette Cameo from designs that are available in the Silhouette Online Store.  The background stamp and and flair buttons are from Creative Embellishments.

I can't tell you how honored I am to be published in this magazine among such talented designers.  It really is a dream come true for me.  

Thank you so much for visiting my blog.  Be sure and check out the new summer issue of Scrapbook And Cards Today here.  My layout is on page 64.

Thank you for stopping by! Have a great weekend and don't forget to make time for something you love!

Hello friends! Happy New Year's Eve!  It has been quite the year.  Personally, it has had it's good times and it's bad times.  The best part of this year was definitely the creative part of my life.  Some of my scrapbooking goals were achieved and some of my dreams came true for 2014 so for my last blog post for this year, I thought I would share fourteen of my favorite layouts.  Some of these layouts give me a warm and fuzzy feeling, some I enjoyed the creative process and some I was honored to be published in some scrapbooking magazines and scrapbook manufacturer's newsletters such as Bella Blvd. and Fancy Pants Designs.  So here they are:

Thanks for being part of 2014 with me and visiting my blog.  I wish the best to all my friends, family, scrapbooking friends and blog followers.  May 2015 be your best year yet!
