Hi friends! I've been having a great time participating in the "
Big Sister" competition at Colorful Creations. We're down to the final 2. Kerys and I have been scrapping our fingers to the bone :) I wanted to share my last 2 layouts. I just love these 2 pics of my boys when they were little. They are wearing reindeer antlers at Christmas. It is hard to believe they are 12 and 13 now. I created this layout with beautiful patterned paper by Cosmo Cricket.
This was for our 2-page challenge. Two-page layouts are always a challenge for me, but I just love the way it turned out.

I created a layout about my 7 fur babies. Yes..I have 5 little doggies and 2 cats. They are the sweetest and great at posing for my pics.

I used patterned paper by Bella Blvd and My Little Shoebox. The diecuts are Bella Blvd and the round alphas/numbers are My Little Shoebox. Such a cute combination.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a great week.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day! I hope you have created something handmade for your sweetie. I created this cute layout about my nephew, Matthew, with the "Up in the Trees" collection by My Little Shoebox. I just love the little birds, trees, and hearts.

Love is in the air at Ruby Rock-It. I created this card filled with love using the Ruby Rock-It "Vintedge" collection. These beautiful patterned papers just scream romance.

The "Vintedge" collection worked wonderfully to create the "Beautiful" layout featuring my niece, Mandy, and her fiance, Mike. I love the distressed, vintage look to this collection.

Why not send a cheerful greeting to someone you love? I created this "Hi" card using the Ruby Rock-It "Vintedge" collection. Just a few strips of paper, ribbon, alpha stickers, and a chipboard birdie can send this "Hello" anywhere in the world.

I created this sweet layout with a precious family photo using great products by Jenni Bowlin, Graphic 45, and Simple Stories. It was entered in Round 5 in the Big Sister competition at Colorful Creations.

This colorful little card was created with one of my FAV stamps by Outline's Rubber Stamps. It was created for the CYAO card challenge at Paper Secrets.

Thanks SO much for visiting my blog. Have a wonderful Valentine's Day!
XOXOXOXO

Creative Time...

Hi, friends! I hope you are having a wonderful February. I've been doing lots of creating in my studio, participating in lots of challenges, and having fun.

I'm just discovering Simple Stories. They manufacture some wonderful collections. I love their muted patterned paper and matching diecuts. These top 3 projects were created with 3 of their collections.

I created this next layout with one of my fav My Little Shoebox collections, "Destination". I love the great diecut sticker road signs and transporation embellies. TOO cute!

I'm been having so much fun participating in the "Big Sister" competition at Colorful Creations. These girls are so much fun and the challenges really keep me motivated. I created this layout with the gorgeous "Portrait" collection by Crate Paper.

What have you been creating? Have a great day!
