Celebrate - Your Memories Here Tutorial

Hi everyone!  Today I want to share with you a shabby chic layout I made using the gorgeous Hope Chest papers from Pink Paislee.

But before I share the layout itself, how about a quick video on creating a crackled wood background for your projects?

Super easy and fun.  With the wood background, a bit of mist and some gorgeous flowers from my Prima grab bag I created this....

Ainsley and a couple of friends at her birthday party.  I added a few lace doilies as well as some lace to complete the look.

Thanks for stopping by.

Lovely - Scrapbook Layout - YMH Designs

Hi everyone! Today I wanted  to share with you a scrapbook layout I made using the colors from the February Prima Product Pick, lots of flowers from my Prima Grab Bags, a bit of Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists, and a few scraps from my Almanac Collection of papers.

I love the look of worn wood for scrapbook backgrounds lately....I just can't seem to get enough.  I created this by painting my chipboard with crackle medium and then with a bit of white paint.

Adding bits of color to the background using my mists gives me just a hint of color while leaving the focus on my photo.

And who can resist a mixture of gorgeous blooms?  One of the great things about the grab bags is the mixture of goodies you get.

Be sure and check out the grab bags and other great products on sale now at Your Memories Here.

That Barbie - She Really Does Have Everything

Hi everyone!  Today to share with you a project I made for my Ainsley and her Barbie collection.

If you are like me and have a girl that loves Barbie, you are probably always finding shoes, purses, and jewelry lying around.  It seems there is no "good" way to organize these items.  So, I decided to create a little "dresser" for Barbie to hold some of her accessories in;  you know, those shoes, brushes, and other accessories that always seem to be getting misplaced.  And besides...what girl doesn't need a little shabby goodness to help with her organization.

I used the Candy Box Sizzix die (don't forget to ask Kristina from Your Memories Here to pick one up for you if you don't have it) to create three separate boxes.  I painted the boxes and then covered them using the gorgeous Cashmere Dame collection from Glitz papers.

After painting the top with a coat of Rock Candy Crackle Paint I added some beautiful Prima blooms and bling 

And finally a few buttons to the drawer fronts to complete the look.  These drawers are actually quite large and will easily hold dozens of Barbie shoes in each compartment.

What girl wouldn't love holding some little treasures in these sweet boxes?  And, I have more boxes planned in the coming weeks.  I know you are going to want this die.  hee hee

Hugs.
