Guest Designer for Top Dog Dies

Last week, I was the guest designer for Top Dog Dies, and I put together some cute little cards using their Mini Tag Dies and their Baby on Board dies!

I don't take the time as often as I should to pull out my manual die cut machine, these dies have made me regret that!! They cut beautifully!

Here are the projects I did for them, using the adorable Little Princess line from Imaginisce!

Love those little tag dies!! A definite new fave!!

Here is a little info on Top Dog Dies:

Noel Mignon and Creative Scrappers!!

This month, Noel Mignon is the sponsor for Creative Scrappers! So I had a fun time using the newest kit, Balboa, with the fun sketch from Creative Scrappers!

Here is the sketch:



I used some of my favorite elements from the sketch to put together a layout that was fitting to both my style, and the look I wanted for this layout.

Loved this color scheme that I pulled together from the Balboa kit! So many fun colors mixed with the awesome chalkboard trend!! Here are a few close ups!

Make sure and play along with Creative Scrappers this month for a chance at your own Balboa kit from Noel Mignon!!!

Sweet Spring Photos

Hello friends!! Today I have some Imaginisce layouts to share with you! I used a mixture of the Welcome Spring and Little Princess lines on these fun, spring photo shoot layouts I put together. The colors were bright and fun, and perfect with the photos. I added in some fun embellishments from American Crafts and Simple Stories!

I love how I was able to put together this very girly layout, and then a boy layout using bits and pieces from the same lines! Here is my boy layout.

Love these lines for the photos from this shoot! I will have more to share soon! Thanks for hopping by today, and take time to create something you love!

Happy Wonderful

Hello friends!! I have a fun layout up on the Noel Mignon blog today! I used the soft and sweet "Carousel" kit to make a fun fall themed boy layout!


 

I had so much fun experimenting with my title on this layout, and really stretched to make those gorgeous pastel colors work for this layout.

Mother's Day Shadow Box

Hello!! I have another fun Mother's Day gift idea to share with you today that went up on the We R Memory Keepers blog. I love the Inked Rose collection from We R Memory Keepers. The patterns and colors are fabulous, and I knew it would be perfect to use on a Mother's Day printer tray/shadow box!

I love the new Sew Easy template, and was finally able to put one to use making this cute banner. I simply stitched it on a frame that I fussy cut, and stamped a sweet sentiment inside. Love the finished look!

While I had that frame paper out, I decided to fussy cut a few more. I also fussy cut a cute butterfly to layer with them. A little foam adhesive, twine, and an enamel heart made for lots of fun dimension on this square.

Using both paper scraps, and the negative space from my sticker sheet, there were lots of fun pieces to tuck in and use for dimension and layering.

For a more detailed description of how I put this together, head over to the We R Memory Keepers blog!
