How Sweet it is

Just a quick post for now. Here is another layout I created using Scrapbook Star's November kit - featuring papers from The Shabby Green Door - Farmer's Market Collection!

I added my own grungeboard to the kit, but inked it with the Rocket Red ink that was included, so I didn't feel too bad :) I also added some stitching around the edges for a little texture. To achieve the scallop circle without adding patterned paper I used a piece from my stash and turned it over to the back. From there I inked around the edges to achieve a masked effect.

An Awesome "Me" Day

What a wonderful day I've had today!! My hubby is heading to the canucks game tonight so gave me a 'me' day this afternoon! SOOO very needed and I loved every second. I started off at Michaels (the only LSS around) and picked up some Mod Podge, grungeboard, etc. Then off to the local thrift store in town where I found a HEAP of amazing stuff that I am dying to refinish!! I have altered projects on the brain and cannot wait to get started! I actually was able to 'browse' through all the neat little shops around town with a coffee in hand and not even once had to utter the words 'don't touch!' - LOL.

Anyhow, just wanted to share - sometimes its so very worth taking time for yourself - to destress, refocus and just enjoy life!

Thanks babe!

Shabby Chic!

Happy November 1st!! And its actually an hour earlier than I thought! 1 extra hour to sleep in right? (yea, tell that to my 17 month old! LOL)

Well, with a new month comes new Design Team Reveals and today is no exception. I had the pleasure of working with Scrapbook Star's newest kit which features some gorgeous papers from The Shabby Green Door - Farmer's Market!

These papers were worn perfectly and fit my style just right!

Here is the first one I created using elements from November's Kit!



The playful letters were from Doodlebug designs, originally white, but I inked them with the awesome Tsukineko ink - also included in the kit!

This kit was jammed full of awesome goodies - rub ons, border strips, ink, journaling stickers, bling - gotta go check it out!!


Check back on Thursday for my 2nd creation!!
