Just for you!

I couldn't help myself yesterday and I made this cute card just for fun.  I actually have a ton of things I *have* to do, and when I need to get into a good crafting groove I always make something "just for fun".  Because I have no rules with it, it helps get my creative juices going and makes working on the have-tos that much easier :)

It's been awhile since I pulled out my cuttlebug and did some embossing.  The polka dot folder is my fav.  It just added such a fun texture to the text paper.  I cut out the cork hearts with some sheets of cork from Michaels and my heart die from Lawn Fawn.    All the other supplies I used were from the October Afternoon 9 to 5 line.    The "friend" is an older Hero Arts clear stamp.

So blessed!

Well I have some happy new to share today!  

I was asked to join the October Afternoon Design Team! I'm so very excited and happy about that.  I have been a huge fan since day one of their awesome products and I've been all but helpless to buy it all each release.  

You also might like to know that the brand new line Travel Girl is in at Two Peas today, click here to see! :)

I made this card a few days ago using the Woodland Park line which is one of my all time fav's!  

I thought for fun I'd share some projects I did way back in 2009 when I was a guest designer for October afternoon.  Four years later and I still love them, which is unusual for me and goes to show how timeless I think their products are :)

Also makes me want to pull out that Ducks in a Row line, which, yes I'm still hoarding lots of.  ;)

I hope your day is going as happy as mine, and thanks for stopping by!! xoxo

You make my heart happy!

I have been on such a navy blue/teal kick lately and I just can't get enough of it!  I actually scrapped this photo a long time ago, but it was work I did for a CHA show, and I've been meaning to scrap it since.  

I used lots of goodies from the TrendSetter line by Fancy Pants Designs.  I just love love love it.

And here are the supplies I used to make this page!

Seeing Double: Smile

Hey guys :)  Happy Friday to you all!  It's my turn for a Seeing Double video and I chose to make a two page layout with a matching card.  I mixed up supplies from two different lines, Simple Stories Vintage Bliss, and Pebbles Lakeside.  I really enjoyed making this page and getting a little girlier that I normally do in my scrapbooking.  Which works because this page is more about me as a mother, than it is specifically about my little man.

I hope you will go watch the video and see how I create a these projects HERE. :)

And of course the "double" part of Seeing Double is my card!

Again, so see the wonderful supplies I used and to watch the video, go see it live at Two Peas in a Bucket! :)

Hello Mom

Mothers day is almost here and I have this project go up on the Pebbles Blog today and I am happy to share it over here!

I made a little treat bag which I slid a few home made cookies into, and a matching card to go with it.

Here are some of the supplies I used that link over to Two Peas in a Bucket.  If I haven't said it before, I really do looooove the Pebbles thin washi tape.  Its awesome!

National Scrapbook Day.

National Scrapbook day, which was May 4th is obviously one of my favourite holiday's ;)  We had company over and I didn't get to really celebrate it like I wanted to, but I did have to fun project go live that I want to share.

This first page I made for Two Peas in a Bucket, and I chose to focus on the amazing washi tapes by My Minds Eye, specifically the ones I used on my page that are 50% off!!  Seriously, they are such a steal and some of my all time favourite patterns and colours.  If you want to see them and the 0ther supplies I used, click here for the link :)

I also helped Shimelle out with a NSD challenge to scraplift yourself.  I hope you will go check out my pages for that right HERE. 

Here is a sneak of the new page I created... :)

Snuggle Everyday

Well I thought this had posted much earlier in the month, but apparently blogger skipped it!  Ah well.  I'm posting it now, better late than never! :)

This month the theme in the Garden was Colour, and we were all assigned a specific colour, or colour palette.  The results were stunning! I have yellow as you can see, and it was so much fun to pull out all my yellow supplies and get to work.  I chose to mix in some grey as a nice neutral too.

I really had so much making this page, and sticking with one colour choice made the page come together so quickly!  The other girls did some amazing work too and I hope you will check out the rest of the amazing gallery this month here.

Here is a link to my project at two peas and all the wonderful yellow items I used.

Right now..

TGIF! :) Fridays are honestly just my favourite day of the week!  I know that it means I get my husband and kids home for two whole days and fun happy times are guaranteed! :)

Speaking of fun, I have a page I made with Fancy Pants Designs product.  Specifically the Down by the Shore line.  It doesn't have to be used on beach themed projects only!

Seeing Double: Baby Fever

I am happy to share that I had another video go up on Two Peas in a Bucket for the Seeing Double series.  This week I decided to focus on Speech Bubbles.  I am rather obsessed with them lately, and since I have so many of them I though I'd put them to good use on my projects.  

I just love these projects and honestly they came together really quickly!  I do have something to admit though.  I actually filmed a whole different layout for this project and I just could not get it to work!  Then when I was done it just didn't feel like "me", so I scrapped the whole thing and started over!  Sometimes you just can't force creativity if it isn't there.  I still have the footage so I may share it at another time just for fun.

I really hope you go watch my video and see how I put speech bubbles to use!

And here are just a few of my favourite items used on these projects.  The entire supply list is right here.

Pebbles Layouts

I realized I forgot to share these pages on my blog and thought I'd take the time to do that today.  They were both up on the Pebbles blog earlier this month.  

Both are rather simple pages, and I think I kind of love that.  Nothing too over the top or artsy, just clean colourful designs.  On this page I realized after photographing it that I forgot to add the journaling to the card, which yes, I'll be keeping crooked like that. It helps to break up the linear feel of the page.  I think I was out of computer ink, and just let it be for the moment.

 And here are the cute supplies I used to make this page.  All from Two Peas in a Bucket of course. :)

Oh I loved making this last page!  I adore the pics of my little man playing with a big old balloon.  So cute!  This page was so quick and simple to make using scrap strips of paper.  I didn't even measure, just glues them down and trimmed off the excess.

Here are the supplies for this layout:


Thanks for stopping by :)

A fun challenge...

 Went up today over on the Fancy Pants Designs blog..

Here is a sneak peek or my project, and I hope you'll stop by over there and play along! :)

Seeing Double: Visual Triangles

TGIF! :)  And today is a extra happy friday since I have a new video that is live over at TwoPeas :)

So click here to hear me talk about using visual triangles to create a focus around my photo's and to watch me put together these cute projects!

I used so many fun supplies on these projects, and honestly they came together so quickly once I'd pre pulled my products and had them sitting at the ready beside me.

I hope you'll go check it out and let me know what you think!! :)
