Teacher Appreciation Gift Idea

Hello friends!! This week on the Imaginisce blog, we are celebrating teachers. So many wonderful men and women put so much of their time and lives into helping teach our children, this week, we are sharing some gift ideas to show them how grateful we are for what they do.

For my project, I was inspired by this print I found on Pinterest. Using my silhouette, I die cut my sentiment using my favorite paper from the Welcome Spring Line, this fabulous yellow/white stripe.

I wanted the "heart" part of the sentiment to pop, so using a tone on tone red diagonal stripe from the Perfect Vacation 6x6 pad, I die cut the word along with a small heart to layer beside it. I added in a little bling to give just a bit more interest and dimension.

Once it was time to assemble the frame, I really wanted to make it stand out. So first, I backed my paper with a piece of solid white cardstock. Then, using LOTS of foam adhesive, I adhered it straight onto the top of the glass in the frame. Then I wrapped some red twine along the top, and called her done!

Here is a shot of the dimension!

Make sure you follow along on the Imaginisce blog this week to see all the inspiring projects we have to share!

Have a great day, and take time to create something you love!

Cherish Every Moment

Hello friends!! I am back to share with you my first layout using the "Carousel" kit from Noel Mignon. This kit is sold out, but we still have sub spots available for our July-December term. Go here and check out all the details, and sign up!! If you have been on the fence about joining a kit club, this is the way to go!! So much product, and you don't have to worry about this add on or that add on...there is just one JAM PACKED full kit!!


This kit is so beautiful and full of gorgeous spring colors! I knew it would be perfect with this photo of my little ladies.

I loved the Pebbles flowers included in the kit, but they weren't quite the look I was going for, so with a little stamping and altering I was able to make the perfect, custom embellishment.

I also used another embellishment as a template, to make a banner in the color scheme I had in mind.

For all the details on how I altered these embellishments, head over to the Noel Mignon blog.

Have a great day, and take time to create something you love!

We R Memory Keepers NSD Blog Hop

Hello and welcome!!! Today, some of the We R Memory Keepers design team is having a blog hop to kick off the week and get everyone ready for National Scrapbooking Day which is this Saturday, May 3.

For my project, I used the fabulous Inked Rose line to make a fun home decor canvas. Layering some of the patterned papers gave this project lots of colors and fun dimension.

 

By cutting apart the "Words" paper, I was able to add a fun title to this project, and layering them with some of the other patterned papers gave even more dimension. Using the embossed stickers, I layered some of those beautiful roses in the corners to fill in some dead space. Enamel dots, and a few splatters of spray mist and I called this done!

We R Memory Keepers has a fun giveaway for you...you simply have to visit and comment on every blog along the hop, then return to the We R blog and let them know what you thought! Easy peasy, right?

I am also going to offer up a fun giveaway of some We R products, so if you would like to be entered in my giveaway, simply become a follower of my blog and let me know in the comments you have done so!

Someday...

Hi friends!! Hopping on today to share a fun layout I have up on the Noel Mignon blog. For this layout, I had a few challenges I gave myself. Kill some of those old kits, no trimmer, scissors only ( so if you notice something crooked, that's why!), and I started my base layout on a trimmed down piece of white cardstock, then later matted it on a 12x12.

This really helped get my creative wheels turning!!

I didn't follow any rules or design principals here, and I am so happy with it. I am slowly getting back to where I enjoy creating, thank goodness!! I'm missing it, just having fun and not worrying so much makes ALL the difference!! :)

Thanks for stopping by today! Have a great day, and take time to create something you love!

We're Famous!!

Hi friends!! Just hopping in to share a fun layout I have up on the Noel Mignon blog today! I used a mix of the Wishing Well and Book of love kits, which are both currently sold out. There are still a few of the current kit, Social Butterfly, available here though!

I fussy cut the speech bubble from an Elle's Studio paper, I knew it would be perfect to house this quote from my daughter, and also act as my title.

A few simple layers and staggering of embellishments, and I called it done. A very simple but fun layout! 

Have a great day, and take time to create something you love!!
