Crazy Kids!

Hi all! Just wanted to share some cute pics I snapped of the kids the other day. Can't wait to scrap some of these! Do you realize how tough it is to get a single shot of all three kids a) looking at the camera and b) smiling at the same time?! Sheesh.... Don't forget there is still a few days left to enter into my April Blog Giveaway!! Check it out HERE. Night!

Blast Off! Card & Invitation

Greetings earthlings! I have a quick card and invitation set to share with you all using the adorable Blast Off! Collection from Bo Bunny!


Thanks for the visit today! Enjoy the rest of your wonderful night!

Graphic 45 Design Team

It has finally happened! After an entire year of waiting, I am so very proud to announce that I have made the Graphic 45 Design Team for 2011!! When they announced their annual Design Team Call I was sooo excited (and nervous). I had applied for the team last year but did not even make the top 25 finalists! I was so disappointed but rather than be discouraged, I persevered and continued to use their products and post in their galleries and became a regular member of their facebook page and blog.

There was no denying my love for their papers and products; beautifully vintage designs with an endless amount of fussy cutting possibilities. Each and every paper collection is so unique - they have most definitely found their niche in this ever expanding scrapbooking market and I am over the moon to be able to work with all their new and exciting products over the next year. Here are the projects I submitted for my final Design Team application. Enjoy!!

This was the layout I created using their Once Upon a Springtime Collection.

Do you see what I mean regarding the amazing fussy cutting options?! The fairy, the flowers, the leaves... the paper BECOMES your embellishment!


I paired the paper flowers with some Rose Blossoms and Rose Leaf Sprays from Petaloo's Canterbury collection.

Originally cream, I transformed the roses into the perfect shade with a little distress crackle paint from Tim Holtz and some acrylic paint.

Here is a Card & Tag set I created with Graphic 45's Steampunk Collection, Staples, Trim and a few of their other collections here and there.


I created a pocket on the inside of the card where you could insert a tag, invitation, etc.

The tag was created by reusing some of their packaging from the trims.

The last item I submitted was my Hallowe'en in Wonderland mini album (which you may have already seen) Here is a quick post of a few of the pages...






Thank you soooo much for the visit today! Back again tomorrow with another project to share...

Until then!
