Button It Up

Hi friends!! I realized that I forgot to share this project that I had up on the Epiphany Crafts blog last week. Last week was our "Button It Up" week, we were challenged to create projects featuring the EC Button Studio tools.
I thought it would be cute to alter a favorite candle, and start bringing some spring into our home. I kept this very simple, and used the adorable Welcome Spring line from Imaginisce to bring in all the fun and bright colors and patterns.

Here is another angle. I just mixed in button studio tool 20, shape studio too round 14, and some of the Welcome Spring rhinestones for a cute, fun, and simple decor piece.

These would be adorable to make up with any theme for a gift! So easy but makes a great impact!

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

My Little Man **Noel Mignon***

Hi everyone!! I'm here today to to share another layout made with the Fresh Start kit, that is up on the NoelMignon blog. I love this kit so much...the colors are fabulous, and I love that I have gotten two very different layout looks out of it, (this layout and my princess layout).

Over the summer we love to spend as much time outdoors as possible. I was able to snatch this picture of our baby boy on his first fishing trip out last year. He, obviously, was too young to participate yet, but he had such fun watching his sisters and just enjoying the environment around us..so of course, it had to have a layout to go with it! :)



I loved that Hey Kid banner piece from Pink Paislee, and knew I wanted to use it for the color scheme on this layout, I also used it for my title. Some very simple layering and I love the finished product.

This corner here was actually done as an after thought, I originally had adhered the wood veneer speech bubble in this spot, but it just wasn't working. I went to remove it, and it tore my photo a bit, along with leaving behind some adhesive. A few simple cuts and the adorable arrow clip, and I was able to cover the spot AND it ended up being one of my favorite details of the layout!

I felt the corners need a little something more, so I just cut a few strips from that fabulous Elle's Studio paper ( I am saving every sngle scrap of that one LOVE it!) and some messy stamping was the perfect finishing touch!
Love how this kit worked absolutely perfect for both a very girly layout and a very boy layout! Noel sure knows how to put them together!! So...if you haven't yet, make sure you scoop up this deal!! Only a very limited number left!! Also, don't forget about the 50% off sale that is going on right now...good on past kits and shop items!!

             

Thanks for stopping in, and I hope you all have a great day, and take time to create something you love!!

Epiphany Crafts & Chic Tags

Hi everyone!!! I'm here today to share a layout with you that I made for the Chic Tags and Epiphany Crafts team up. I was so super excited when I found out we were doing a team up, and I was even MORE excited when I saw that I had gotten the Happy Place collection to play with. It had been one of my favorites, and I just hadn't had a chance to pick any up yet.

I knew instantly what photo I wanted to use, and how I wanted my layout to come together. Lots of fun colors and layers!

Since I was using so many layers, patterns, and colors I converted my photo to black and white. This was so it wouldn't be in competition with all of the color, but it would still stand out center stage.

I used the text patterned paper to create some custom brads that highlighted a few words that described this photo perfectly!

I wanted to use the "My Everything" clear embellishment for my title, but I wanted to dress it up a bit. So using my shape studio pennant 25 tool, I created a few little banners to "hang" from the bottom of the title. It gave it just enough interest, without taking away from the photo.

Make sure you stop by the Epiphany Crafts and Chic Tags blogs all week to be inspired and to enter for your chance at a couple of great giveaways!!


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

Pinterest Inspired with Epiphany Crafts

Hi all! Back again to share this adorable holiday project with you. Our assignment for this week was to use an image on Pinterest for inspiration. I LOVED all of the stars made out of rulers that I kept seeing...like this one:
