Silly Bands!

I don't know about where you live, but Silly Bands are all the rage here! I wish I had thought of this idea. I'd be rich!

This page uses a combo of My Little Shoebox paper and Tattered Angels chipboard. I had so much fun with the bright colors and designs.



I created the title block by layering chipboard frames over a chipboard panel. Then, I added the letters over that.



I used lots of foam adhesive on here to give it a textured look. I also added some stitching to the semi-circle around the frame.

I have something fun to tell you for my next post. :) Thanks for stopping by and come back soon!

Sweet Guys

This layout channels by inner Nathalie Kalbach. :) I just love her cool, artsy style!
Recently, I received some of her papers and decided to put them to use on this page.



I started by creating a background using a technique Nathalie posted on the Tattered Angel's educator blog. I used a Glimmer Screen and some Gesso to create the effect.



I punched the borders and butterflies from Nathalie's papers, too. Then, I added touches of glitter using glitter I created by spraying white glitter with Lime Twist glimmer mist. The tag and die cut are Tattered Angels as is the butterfly and alphas.



That's pretty much it! Thanks for stopping by!

Exciting News!

I just wanted to pop on and share some really exciting news!!!

I received an awesome email the other day letting me know that I will
be a member of the 2010 Prima Design Team!!! The announcement is here: Prima Blog.

The other girls are all super talented and I'm honored to be counted among them.
So, you'll be seeing lots of fun Prima projects in the upcoming year. :)

Thanks for letting me share!!

Printer's Tray

I have been dying to make one of these printer's trays ever since I saw them in person at CHA. I finally had the chance to do it! I made this to hang in my scrap room. It looks great!



It was originally supposed to be a Father's Day gift, but is way too girly for Fran to hang in his office. LOL. His loss. My gain!

I used lots of Basic Grey Kioshi on here. I used the 6 by 6 papers and stickers.



And of course I had to add some flowers! The chipboard is Pink Paislee and the buttons and paper flowers and die cuts are Making Memories.



If you haven't done one yet, I highly recommend doing one! It was quick and easy and I love the results. Emma's Paperie carries them in a couple of sizes and colors. ;)

Thanks for stopping by!

Becky Fleck Sketch!

I hate keeping secrets. Especially when they are good ones! I've been sitting on this one for a while. The Webster's Pages DT worked with Becky Fleck's sketches this month! It was so much fun. You can check out all of the sketches HERE. There are 10 different ones, each with a page by a WPDT gal!

Here is mine. It's called Bunnies and is about the day Ryan and his friends found some baby bunnies in the backyard.




Now, you know I'm not usually a 2 page kind of scrapper, let alone an 8.5 by 11 scrapper. But, I really enjoyed this size! I definitely will be doing it again.

I used papers from the Magical Wishes line along with Postcards from Paris.



I added some Prima flowers and pearls. And the flourish is the sticky backside of some Prima felt covered with glitter.


But, wait! There's more! Check out this thread at Inspire Me to find out how you can win a whole line of Webster's Pages papers just by creating a page using one of June's Pagemaps.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great day!

Color Combos Galore

I'm really excited to share some fun news! The Color Combos Galore challenges are back. I'm part of the 2010 DT and will be playing along with them.;) A new challenge went live today. You can see it here. I loved the inspiration photo and challenge to use flowers. (Hello, my favorite embellishment...)

Anyway, here is my page.



I used some paper from Webster's Seaside Serenade line and Lullabye Lane. I also used a Lullabye Lane journaling card. The transparency is Hambly.



I used lots of Prima flowers on here. The blue flowers were actually white. I sprayed them with Frost Glimmer Mist.



The Melissa Frances resin pieces were a perfect addition!

This page is about the wonderful mothers in my life and what I've learned from each of them. We were lucky to all be together this past Mother's Day. :)

Hope you get a chance to play along at CCG! The fun thing is that you can do layouts or cards or even projects if you'd like!

Have a great day. ;)

Lucky Me

I decided to play along with the Prima Build a Page sketch challengethis month. They always have such fun sketches. I really like this photo of my mom, Fran, Ryan and me on Mother's Day, so I decided to use some of the Raspberry Tea and Shabby Chic papers with it.



I added some winter roses, a pink spray of flowers and a bunch of hand cut elements.



I also used some clear frame stamps to create the journaling box and the frame behind the title. I love this stamp!




This page came together so easily!

Also wanted to share that my customized glitter tutorial is up on the Tattered Angels blog. You can see it HERE. Just scroll down to the post that says Tattered Glitter.

That's all for today. Thanks so much for stopping by!
