Happy Harvest Release Day at Imaginisce

I'm so excited to share the new Fall collection from Imaginisce, "Happy Harvest". You will love the beautiful collection of patterned papers, stickers, diecuts, and stamps.




I love the great diecut titles and characters. Isn't that fox just too cute!


I created this Thankful plaque by altering a wooden plaque with distress ink, covering with patterned paper, and accenting with stamped apples. I colored the apples with Copic markers. I love all of the apples in this collection.


This collection is so perfect for these pics of my family at the apple orchard.



I'm such a fan of anything "owl". These cute owl stamps are just so fun.


Be sure to pop over to the Imaginisce blog for your chance to win this new collection.

Riddersholm Designs at Paper Craft Planet

This week, I've had the pleasure of designing with beautiful patterned papers, diecuts, ribbons, and charms from Riddersholm Designs, a papercraft company in Denmark.


I created this altered cigar box. It reminds me of being a little girl and playing with my mother's jewelry. I would try on her rings, clipped earrings, and necklaces and pretend I was going to a party.


The photo in the center is a copy of one of my favorite vintage postcards that I collect. Did you notice the lovely cameo charm? This is from Riddersholm Designs.


I have a tutorial to create theses lollipop flowers at the Paper Craft Planet.







I'm featuring this project on the Paper Craft Planet blog. I would love it if you would stop by and leave a comment. We're giving away a wonderful collection of Riddersholm Designs products.

My Little Shoebox "Garden Party"

Oh, I do love flowers! The My Little Shoebox "Garden Party" collection is one of my favorites. Just look at these fabulous patterns and colors.

It was just perfect for this pic of our wedding. Love those little bees :)

I created this sweet gift bag and matching card. I drew stitches around the edges for a finishing touch.


These great MLS stamps coordinate with the Garden Party collection. I colored the images with Copic markers.


Hop over to the My Little Shoebox blog today to view my tutorial on creating these beautiful roses.


I would love it if you would return tomorrow when I share a fun Father's Day project using the Imaginisce "Happy Camper" collection :)

My Little Shoebox "Mix-It-Up" Blog Hop!!!



Welcome to the My Little Shoebox "Mix-It-Up" Blog Hop!!! You should have arrived here from Nicole's blog. If not, you don't want to miss a thing today. Start at the MLS blog. I am so excited to be sharing my layout, along with the mega-talented MLS design team girls. This month's challenge...Mix-It-Up! Create a layout, card, or altered project using 2 or more My Little Shoebox collections. How fun!


I created this layout about my sweet son, Houston's, birthday celebration. I used bits and pieces of my favorite My Little Shoebox collections: Sew Cute, Farmer's Market, Garden Party, Heartfelt, and Away We Go. Of course, I included the MLS sticker letters and mini sticker letters.


Don't you just love when you have a photo that touches your heart? This pic brings back all of the wonderful memories of Houston's birthday celebration and what a fun, sweet young man he has become. I wanted to create a colorful, fun layout to highlight that day.


The next stop on the hop is the fabulous, Mandy . I can't wait to see what she creates :)


Have a wonderful weekend!

My Little Shoebox "Sew Cute"

I'm totally in love with the new "Sew Cute" collection from My Little Shoebox! From the diecut paper to the cardstock stickers...I love it all.


I couldn't resist pairing this measuring tape twill with this collection. It fit perfectly.

The "Sew Cute" collection isn't just for girls. I loved creating layouts about my sweet boys with the "Sew Cute" collection.


These cards were so fun to create. Using my favorite Glue Arts foam adhesives made the diecuts really stand out.

Be sure to pop back by on Friday. We are having a Mix-it-Up My Little Shoebox blog hop to celebrate the June challenge. This will be a great opportunity to win some MLS goodies :)
