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!

Girls Totally Rock!!!

Hi everyone!!! I don't know about you all, but I am SO glad it's Friday! The hubby and I are actually going out tonight...without kids!! Doesn't happen too often, so I'm looking forward to a date night. :)

I'm here today to share a cute printer tray I made for our oldest daughter, Emma to go in her room using some fun supplies from me & my BIG ideas! That is live on the mambi blog today!  The minute I saw these fun Tween Pocket Pages cards, I knew that she would love them and they would make a cute decor piece.

I had so much fun with this. Altering cards, adding in the mambi glitter chips and glitter alpha chips, and of course some hot pink and zebra!!

I also love, love, love the pocket pages clear stickers. They are perfect for adding in just that final detail!

Thanks for hopping by today! I hope you were inspired to create something you love!! :)

Top 12 of 2012

The year is almost gone, and I personally can't believe how fast it went! I swear that the older my babies get, the fast the time seems to go...so that's why its nice, to look back over the last year and remember all of those amazing moments, whether they be a special occasion, or the perfect everyday moments.

So, I thought I would jump on the wagon and do a favorites of 2012 post, below you will find my top 12 projects of the past year, in no particular order, cause don't think I can narrow down that much. lol

Looking forward to seeing what 2013 has in store!

Hope you all have a happily blessed new year, and take the time to create something you love!

A Simply Great Life

Happy Monday!! Its a dreary day here, rain coming in and just makes me want to either stay in bed all day and snuggle, or scrap the day away. Let's see which one little miss agrees too! lol.

Today I wanted to share a project from a class I recently taught in at my LSS. The picture is not the best, but as many of you know, we are in the midst of a very extensive remodel, so I had to try my best to make it work where I could.

For the class we made used a 7 Gypsies printer tray and the Heritage line from Simple Stories. I was so nervous about this one, as I knew while I was making it that it was for a class. It was my first time teaching, and I couldn't have asked for a better group of ladies, and a more fun night! :) Hoping to do that more often!

Here is the project:

 

 

Don't you all just love that nice burgundy carpet?? lol. One of things that will be going soon, but for now it was my best option for a backdrop, since I'm pretty sure almost every other surface in my house is covered in dry wall dust. Remodels=torture!

 

Anyways, I did LOTS of fussy cutting of this project, along with some stamping, die cutting, and layering. I am in love with the way it turned out!! :)

 

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