Happy Wednesday!

It's Gettin' Festive Around Here!

So the challenge today over at the Bo Bunny Blog is to create some Christmas Ornaments! I was playing around with my sketch pad and came up with a funky stocking pattern that I thought would look fantastic in ALL the Collections!

I wanted to 'sew' these stockings so that I could stuff some little treats, candy canes, etc. inside but I wanted to be able to make them quickly. Solution: Use your quick drying adhesive (I used glossy accents) to seal the edges all around your stocking ornaments. I then proceeded to faux stitch all around my stocking and once complete I was still able to stuff some little treats inside. The glue is actually quite strong - providing you stuff gently. If you are wanting these for your tree you can also stuff kleenex inside to give them their 3D shape without causing too much weight.

Welcome Spring!

I am honestly done with the icky weather we've been having as of late. Rain, rain, rain!! I wish it'd either snow or just hurry up and be spring!


I was LUCKY enough to have WON an amazing prize pack from one of my ultimate fave companies, Graphic 45 and I wanted to share one of the projects I've created using their newest collection, Once Upon a Springtime.

Of course I had to add the beyond gorgeous self adhesive pearls from ZVA Creative!! The soft pink in the bling works soooo wonderfully with the tones in this fairytale paper.

I also used a heap of pop dots, also from ZVA, to make many of my fussy cut elements (such as the adorable bunnies, fairies and flowers) stand out.



Thanks for stopping by today. Hope your weekend has been dryer than mine! My husband has the next TWO WEEKS off work - can't wait to hang out with the family and if I play my cards right, have a little extra scrappy time!!
