Dye-It - The Sampler

Hi everyone!  Today I want to share with you another project made with the April kit from the Sampler.  The colors are just perfect for those spring time photos...even these of my oldest dying Easter eggs.  He is such a trooper, he still plays along to make me happy.

So many fun elements in the kit.  Cute buttons, lovely papers, great stickers.....And oh, how I do love that corrugated paper.

The kit should be available in the Scrapbooking Supplies R Us store soon.  Be sure and grab one while you can.  And don't forget to check out the sketch and card challenges.

Hugs.

Miracles Momma Monday - Easter Layout

Hi everyone!  I hope you had a great weekend.  Mine....busy.  I can't believe Mackenzie is 15!  And, I actually convinced her this year to have a party!  Yesterday my house was filled with teenagers listening to music, playing video games, hanging in the hammock and of course eating everything they could find!  lol  Actually, we did BBQ...but they do eat quite a bit.  lol

OK, well enough about Mackenzie's party....how about a bit of scrappy goodness.  Today Heather has a fabulous sketch up on her blog and you know I had to play along.

Here is the sketch....

And here is my take....

Ainsley dying Easter eggs just a few weeks ago.  She had selected a golden egg decorating kit...which turned out not to be dye for the eggs...but paint.  While they looked quite lovely, it really wasn't the same as dunking in the cups.

I used the new Echo Park Sisters mini theme kit, some lovely Studio Calico ephemera, a couple of Maya Road stick pins, and some gorgeous Thickers....lastly, I used some of the washi tape I have been hoarding.  Not sure why I am hoarding it...I love the colors, the patterns, I just haven't really figured out a good way to use it?

Anyway, I hope you have a great day!  For us...back to school and planning Brighton's Graduation Party.

Lush and Lovely tags - Prima

hi everyone!  today I want to share with you a few cards I made using the Lush and Lovely Tags kit from Your Memories Here.  This kit features any of the lovely papers from the Prima Rondelle collection.

When I saw this kit I just loved everything about it, the colors, the patterns, the floral embellishments.  But I am not much of a tag maker so I decided to turn the tags into cards.  It was very simple to use the ideas from the LWP class to create these.

I still have so many gorgeous goodies left over and I plan on making a layout or two using the rest of my kit...as these 3 cards barely made a dent.  hee hee

Kristina told me she has just two of these kits left in the store, so pop over and grab yours before they are gone.

Cork Board - Hydrangea Hippo

Hi everyone!  Happy Friday!!!

Today I wanted to share a project that I did for the All Things Altered blog hop over on Hydrangea Hippo.  The hop is of course over, but I was so happy to have the opportunity to share my project.

I had seen these cute little wood frames at Michaels and couldn't resist buying a pair.  With the frame, a bit of chalkboard paint, and some gorgeous goodies from Hydrangea Hippo, I created this...

I was so happy with the way this project turned out.  I simply love the colors of the flowers Jennifer currently has available in the shop.

That and some beautiful stick pins and trims....all told this project came together very quickly.

Well, hope you have a great weekend....We are off to swim.

Hugs.
