It's Friday!

Yay! It's finally Friday! I'm sooooooooo excited that the weekend will be here after just one more day of work. :) It's supposed to be a good one too, woo hoo! Bring on the sunshine!

I have a couple of fun things to share today. First is that I'm the Guest Designer at the Get Sketchy Blog this week. I was really excited when Bree asked me to play along for the week. Check out their adorable sketch and see what the DT did. Here's my card. I used the gorgeous Life's Portrait line on it, my favorite Hambly frames and a couple of Prima flowers. The stamp is Melissa Frances. And yes, there's a doily on it. I've been using them a lot lately!




Next up is a layout I did this week for Prima's April Build A Page contest. I love the sketch. Yes, there's another doily on this one. ;)





This one also served as my page for The Color Room's 3rd color palette. I'm not usually fond of lilac and lime green together, but I like how it turned out!

One more fun thing to share....I'm going to be working with the talented ladies at A Million Memories this month as Guest DT! Can't wait to dig into Michelle's kit. They are always filled with such fun goodies. I'll be posting my projects soon.

Shabby Tea Room #7

I'm off today and am scrapping my little heart out. I love days like this! I am trying to catch up on everything, have a few assignments and would love to find time to clean and organize my room a bit.

Just wanted to share my card for the Shabby Tea Room challenge #7. I love Debbie's inspiration pictures and this week's really speaks to me.



Here's my card. I'm loving grey right now. I love how the Little Yellow Bicylce went with the Crafty Secrets image on here.



And I love the color of this Prima rose.



Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day. ;)

One LIttle Card

Just wanted to pop in and say hello. I've been working on a few things, but I can't post them at the moment. So, instead of letting my little blog sit here feeling unloved, I thought I'd post this one card.



I did this one for Emma's. I used the Queen Bee line from Pink Paislee and a pretty little Prima flower. The gem swirls are Zva.

That's it! Short and sweet today. Thanks for stopping by!

Tattered Angels and Prima

To view my Zva blog hop post and/or to link a card for the contest, click HERE. You have until next Tuesday to make a card with the sketch for a chance at the prize package! Thanks!
---------------------------------------------------
This month Tattered Angels and Prima have paired up and what a pair they are! I had so much fun making these projects.

This first card uses some TA chipboard pieces. I left the crown as it was and sprayed the Frame Font frame Clover. I also sprayed the small flower and the tulle flower with Clover. The papers are from the Strawberry Kisses line from Prima. I think this is my new favorite card!





Next up is this cute camera case. It's from the Donna Downey canvas line. I sprayed it with Tutti Fruiti and added the flowers and chipboard. The smaller flowers and chipboard were sprayed with Silverspun Sugar. This was a lot of fun to make!




I added some pearl Slip Centers, too.



That's it for today! I'm so excited that it's almost Friday!!!

It's Tuesday! I've got quite a busy week this week, but just wanted to pop on and share a project with you. I did this one a couple of weeks ago, but hadn't gotten to share it, yet. I thought it would be a fun girly gift or could even be used for Mother's Day.



I used a cute clear purse from Emma's and added some American Craft's Botanique paper to it. The sticker is Anna Griffin as is the sticker tape.



And, I added a Prima chipboard piece to the card along with this Melissa Frances stamp.




Don't forget, you have until midnight on Thursday to make a card based of the sketch in my Zva post (see above) to be eligible for a prize package!!!

Thanks for stopping by!

Hope you all have had a wonderful weekend! Our's has gone quite quickly! Yesterday, we took a ride to a mall about an hour away so we could go to the Lego store. Ryan was in heaven!! And we ate at the Cheesecake Factory, so I was in heaven. It was a fun day. We even brought some cheesecake home. I have a Dulce de Leche Caramel slice sitting downstairs waiting for me.


Just wanted to share this page with you today. These are pictures that I took during our day at the beach last week. How kids can splash around in 60 degree water is beyond me, but these two had a blast. We had such a great day!


I used Little Yellow bicycle and GCD Studios paper on here.



I also used lots of yummy Prima goodies included the flowers, stickers and elements cut from the papers.



I love when there are girls in my photos because it gives me 'permission' to use lots of flowers on Ryan's pages. LOL.

That's it for today. I rented True Blood on DVD and am watching the first season. I'm up to the ninth book in the series and decided it was time for me to watch the TV version. Loving it so far.

Have a great day~!

Zva Blog Hop!

Welcome to the Zva Creative blog hop. We are all sharing some projects using Zva products. I'm glad you're here to join in the fun.

Each designer's blog will share a unique sketch that was created with paper...and there's a twist! It's a sketch that's designed with both scrapbooker's and card makers in mind. In addition to having the design laid out for you, each blog will have it's own color combo. The sketch can be turned and the color placement can be changed around. If you see a flower element on a sketch, please feel free to change it to something else if you like. Each sketch is a 6 x 6 page, but you can adapt the design to be horizontal, vertical or even a circle! The colors don't have to be exact, just stay within the color family that's provided (including using a lighter or darker shade). Adding neutrals like white, brown or black is ok...and "making it your own" is always fun to see!
The Blog Hop begins at Kim Hughes' blog. She is linking to one of the Zva designers and that designer is linking to the next and so on. There are 12 design team members, so be prepared to be inspired along the way.

We would LOVE to see how YOU create with ZVA CREATIVE products! Please use this sketch to create any type of project (card, layout, home decor etc.) Your project must include Zva products to be in the running for one of the prizes. Add a link to your project in the comments section under this blog post. (A permalink is best. but if you don't have that option, please list the post date of your project). You will have until midnight, Thursday, April 29th to play along.

Hidden on 5 of the blogs is a wonderful Zva Creative prize package...Woohooo! Those blogs will be randomly chosen after the hop is over, so it's important to participate on as many blogs as you can (but you do not need to use all 13 sketches). The 5 winners will be announced on Friday, April 30th. We will do our best to notify each winner, but it's best if you can pop in to all of the blogs once again on Friday...plus, you never know what kind of inspirational projects that you may find..

So, here is my card.


It's based on this sketch...



I decided to flip the sketch upside down. The papers and stickers are Webster's Pages and all of the lovely pearls are Zva.

I used one of pearl swirls along the bottom of the card. A small swirly part would have hung off the bottom of the card, so I snipped it off and adhered it to the other side. Bet you can't even tell where! I love being able to customize the swirls!



Also, I created my own heart shape by cutting off a piece of a pearl flower!



So, that's it! I hope you can play along and create something with this fun sketch!

Please hop on over to the crazy-talented Jana Eubank next!

Thanks for joining us and have a great day!
