Look of Love Mini Album

Its reveal day over at My Creative Scrapbook and I had the pleasure once again to Guest Design for them this month. I was so pleased when Pam asked me to create their mini album as I am newly addicted to these little beauties!

The Album Kit was packed full of Jenni Bowlin Homespun papers - so gorgeous!!

My dd and I sharing some snuggles. The Cosmo Cricket Rub Ons were the perfect accent for this album.



I just love all the coordinating elements included in this kit - the Jenni Bowlin Butterflies, Journaling Cards, the patterned paper - WOW! I ended up cutting one of the pieces of patterned paper and using as an oversized embellie on this page. A generous helping of Glossy accents was applied to the flowers although its hard to tell in the photo.

3D Paint by Tulip helped to give the flowers some dimension as well as adding a little colour around the journaling spot and photo.





The gorgeous ribbon included in this kit was so easy to work with and tied in seamlessly with the papers - and flowers.

I ended up fussy cutting all the tiny flowers from one of the sheets of patterned papers, smothering with Glossy Accents (addicting eh?) and using as embellishments - so perfect for the smaller spaces in a mini don't you think?



Gorgeous Jenni Bowlin Vintage Sew On Buttons - say no more!

What a Sweet Surprise from CRATE PAPER!

Just peeked over at Crate Paper's blog to find out that I've been named this month's Scrapbook Girl Next Door.

That's the good news!

The bad news is that one of those layouts was suppose to be for an online crop later in the month.... oh well, guess I'll have to do another page with the fabulous March Kit from Scrapbook Star. Go check it out! Features the gorgeous new SEASON collection from Crate!

(Raking) Leaves

Fact: I live in Canada.
Fact: We haven't received a single cm of snow this year.
Fact: My dd doesn't care one bit!

Sometimes, you just have to make due! Of course in anticipation of this year's snowfall (we received almost an entire foot last year, so I wanted to be ready this year) I went out and purchased 2 sturdy 'kid' shovels... that have yet to be touched.


We were playing outside a few days ago and my dd decided to start shoveling the next best thing - leaves! It was so cute!

My layout features the new CHA releases from Petaloo - Color Me Crazy Wild Roses and Color Me Crazy Flower layers.

There's also some Graphic 45 papers in there from their Renaissance Faire and Fashionista Collections as well as a good helping of Shimmerz Spritz.

Thanks for stopping in!
