Playday - The Sampler

Hi everyone!  Today I wanted to share with you another project from the December kit from the Sampler.  As my niece has gotten a little older she is much more outgoing and willing to come over and play.  One winter morning she decided to come play and we went out in the yard to have a tea party (gotta love California winters...lol)  Anyway, I was able to snap a few photos while she was setting the table.

I really think the December kit has got to be one of my favorites evah!  lol

Pumpkin Queen - Prima

Hi everyone!

Still working on getting back to posting regularly.  How many times a week do you think is good?  Do you like new content every day?  Every other day?  How much is enough and how much is too much?  hmmmm

Well, speaking of just right....lol  I have another project for you that using some older papers from Prima.  These are from the Zephyr collection which is available at Your Memories Here.

 I find myself doing more and more mixed media these days.  Lots of inky goodness in my backgrounds.  I am finding it gives me just enough texture without being so overwhelming.  Anyway...love the colors in this collection and I couldn't resist adding in a few flowers both old and new.

Family Traditions - Pumpkin Patch

Hi everyone!  So, I am trying to catch up on blog posts and sharing my work...and I realize how many thing I just never shared.  Oh well.

I made this layout with a few photos of Mackenzie and the Family Traditions collection from Webster's Pages...love that line, just haven't had much of an opportunity to play.

I really haven't been making as busy of layouts lately...not sure how much I love this one.  I promise though, it does look better IRL.

Prima Hipster - Your Memories Here

Hi everyone!  Today I want to share with you a project I made using the gorgeous Prima Optimist collection from Your Memories Here.  You know how much I love Prima and Kristina always has some of the best prices.  I meant of course to do a haul video of all the goodies that came in each of the kits she has available, but I just couldn't wait to jump right in.  lol

Mackenzie just cracks me up....she swears she isn't a hipster, but you know what?  If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck.  lol

Items used:
Optimist Paper Kit
Optimist Flower Kit
Optimist Embellishment Kit

Family Traditions - The Sampler

Hi Guys!

Look at me, trying to meet my New Years Resolution by actually not neglecting my blog.  lol

Today I wanted to share with you a project I made with the December kit from the Sampler.  Right now if you want a kit the best way is to email Holly directly or find us on Facebook.

I decided to do something a little different with this layout....a two pager with  4x6 photos.  I know, wow!  lol  But I have fallen in love with my little portable printer again and have found it so much easier, no more cutting photos.  lol

Anyway...

Love this fun kit.  The lovely chipboards, fun kraft sticker stars and the deer paper.  ***swoon***  I also added a bit of baker's twine (the twinery) and washi from my stash.

Be sure and check back for more stuff I made with this gorgeous kit!  You are not going to believe how many projects I made.  hee hee

Artist Trading Blocks

Hi everyone!  I am back today to share with you another item I made for the upcoming CHA convention.  So excited to be attending this year as a designer member....

Anywho....Eileen Hull was looking for some people to make these new Artist Trading Blocks that she and Amy Bowerman developed using one of Eillen's Sizzix dies.  Well, you know I couldn't wait to play along.   After much fussing I finally came up with this...

Be sure and watch till the end, there is a bit of a surprise.  hee hee

I used lots of yummy goodies to make this box.  Some sprays, mists, gellatos, gel medium, bead medium, Prima lace, Silks....really, having six sides to play with was so much fun.  If you are interested in creating some of these fun little treasures you will need the 658983 Sizzix ScoreBoards XL Die that will be shipping in January or the 658058 which is available now.  Oh, and don't forget to grab some mat board from Sizzix while you are at it...that stuff is awesome!

Well, be sure and check out the Artist Trading Blocks blog or see them on Facebook.

Hugs.

MIA - Yep...I went missing

Hi everyone!  Happy New Year!  I hope you all had a great holiday season.  Mine was full of family, fun and a bit of creativity.  I will be heading to the Prima Art Venture next week and then onto CHA and this week the Creative Jump Start with Natalie Kalbach.  I am pretty sure if you are interested there is still time.  I am really working on making 2014 a creative year.

Not to worry tho, I have been being creative during the holidays and do have a few things to share.  First, how about my Banner of Hope for CHA.

I will be back soon with another post to show you more of the things I have been creating.

Hugs.
