the Mouse - Sampler Kit Club


Hi everyone! Today I want to share with you a project I made using the new Walking on Sunshine kit from the Sampler kit club.

I love the fun bright colors in this kit as well as the fabulous new Prima Resist letters and wood products I couldn't wait to jump in and play.

I had this fun photo of the fam from Disneyland back in January.  I thought the colors were perfect.
And, of course I had to try out a bit of star burst I have been seeing everywhere.  hee hee
How much do I love the wood pieces?  With a little of the chalk ink included in the kit...yes please.


Thanks for stopping by today.  Hope you are having a great day.

Hugs.

Here Kitty - MMD and Hydrangea Hippo

Hi everyone!  Well, another week has just flown by and I have one last project I can share with you.

This one is based on sketch 34 from Heather.  Be sure and check out all the other designer's work over on her blog.

The sketch....
and of course my take...
I used a bunch of the new My Minds Eye Remarkable goodies I picked up after CHA as well as some gorgeous trims from the Hydrangea Hippo etsy shop.  I don't often take photos of my pets or find the time to scrap them, but....

Well, hope you have a great day.

Hugs.

Home Decor - Chalkboard- Your Memories Here


Hi everyone!  Today I want to share a project I made using some of the goodies from my Your Memories Here store.

I found this sweet frame at Michaels for just a few dollars with my 40% off coupon and couldn't wait to make something for my daughter's room.  We have been in the process of redecorating and I thought this would be such a great addition for my soon to be teen.
I painted the frame with a crackle wash in white and then backed it in chalkboard contact paper over chipboard.
And then the fun began.  Bits of flowers, chipboard, bling and butterflies from my Prima grab bags brought out the girly factor of this little chalkboard.
I know that she loves using it in her room.

Hugs.

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.

Hugs,

Nancy

Disney Days - The Sampler


Hi everyone!  Today I want to share with you one last project with the gorgeous Simply Sweet kit from the Sampler.  I have so enjoyed playing with this kit...the colors were so fun and the patterns...oh my.  My favorite though has got to be the buttons.  Anyway......

My family recently spent a few days in Disneyland where I snapped this photo of my girls.

Bits of the gorgeous mist in the kit and the fabulous buttons highlight this layout.  I really love the "bubble paper" that was in this kit...and did I mention the buttons?  hee hee

I loved the color of the mist and couldn't resist customizing my Thickers and adding a sprinkle of them to my card stock base.  You know me and pink.  lol

Be sure and grab your Simple Sweet kit before they are gone.  And don't forget about the sketch and card challenges going on here.

Hugs.

Everyday Eclectic - Hydrangea Hippo

I love that the Hydrangea Hippo kits include so many unique embellishments.  And the Everyday Eclectic kit is no exception.  With the selection of fun metal medallions, sequins, flowers and gorgeous trims; this kit can be taken in almost any direction, from fun and funky to slightly shabby, this kit has something for everyone.

You know me and my love of mini albums....I couldn't resist adding bits of those super fun embellishments to each and every page.  hee hee

As a matter of fact, there were so many fun embellishments I couldn't resist adding a few to this cute little burlap bag I had lying on my desk.

And finally, something I have been dying to do for quite a while, a little fashion party.   I purchased the Fashion Forms book from Klutz and couldn't resist making a few items for a fun little party set.  I could never pull off these fashions myself, but they are so bright and cheerful, I might just be tempted to try.  hee hee
Needless to say I had a ton of fun with this kit.  The papers, the trims, the sequins and buttons, beads and baubles, the flowers.  What more can a girl ask for?   

Hugs.
