Just Can't WAIT!

WOW! Just wanted to say how thrilled I am to have received the July Kit over at Scrapbook Star eariler this month! It is so amazing and packed full of awesome papers. I just finished my 4th layout with the kit last night. On to my 5th today and I can easily create one more with what's leftover. SIX layouts with ONE kit - unreal!! I cannot wait to show everyone my creations! July 1st!! Stay tuned!

If you cannot wait quite so long, I will be revealing my debut layout as a Design Team member from Butterfly Crafts on June 15th! Patience is a virtue my friends...

Wonder Boy

Just inspired so much by this amazing weather we've been having lately and how it makes the kids oh so happy to play outside.

I felt the page was missing something and none of my stash seemed to fit well enough as an embellie. SO.... I just made my own! Hand-cut the circles from the die-cut page and glued them together and then curled up some thinly cut paper as you would the ribbon on a gift and the effect kinda just works with the page.

Cut out butterflies from Basic Grey's ambrosia collection - winsome. I have had this paper forever and keep using it over and over again - its the perfect embellishment 'go to' paper when you need just a little something.

The patterned papers are from We R Memory Keepers - Grandma's Kitchen collection which I am totally loving! The die cut is My Mind's Eye which I got from Scrapbook Star - awesome stuff and an overwhelming selection of products and my favourite, PAPER, in store and online!
