Bella Blvd | Digital Layout...

Oh My Goodness! Guess what???!!!! I have created my very first digital layout. And it wasn't under as much duress as I suspected it would be! *grin*

Check out the new Bella Blvd Digital range! I have used POP QUIZ and I absolutely love it!!!

Jillibean Soup | Foam Stickers...

Hello Friends! Today I am sharing a creative way to use foam stickers! How much fun is it when we can add our own twist to standard products?! This layout was created for Jillibean Soup but I wanted to add a little something extra to the foam sticker title.

Jillibean Soup | Monochromatic layout..

Hello Friends! It has been a busy few months! But I'm back today to play catch up! LOL!

Last month over at the Jillibean Soup blog, I was challenged to create a fun monochromatic layout. Sounds fun right?! But I didn't want it to be a boring black and white/grey version. No way! My layout needed pink!

You can check out all the details over on the JSBlog. Including those easy to make clouds!

Jillibean Soup | iNSD Challenge #4...

Hey Friends! Have you had a chance to play along with the Jillibean Soup iNSD challenges yet? You've got until Sunday May 12th to get your entries in and link them to the Jillibean Soup blog.

Here's a look at the layout for the challenge I created..

For a chance to win your very own Spoonful of Soul collection pack, I want you to create a layout combining three (3) main elements - a Jillibean Soup clear stamp title or subtitle, Jillibean Soup Peapod Parts and a Jillibean Soup Silhouette cut file! 

Head on over to the Jillibean blog and share your project! I can't wait to see it..x

Jillibean Soup | Wild Child...

Hello Friends! Up on the Jillibean Soup Blog recently, I have shared how I sometimes use Silhouette cut files on my layouts.

This cut file is a Jillibean Soup design, found in the Silhouette Design Store, called Wild Child (ID #188692).

I'd love for you to pop on over to the Jillibean blog and tell me your thoughts.. Were you a Wild Child growing up too? *grin* Thanks for visiting..x

Bella Blvd | Adventure...

Do you enjoy going on Adventures? Our family does. Even if it is in our own local area. Today I am sharing a layout created for Bella Blvd and iNSD.

Using the new Let's Go on an Adventure collection, I couldn't go past this photo showing the passage of time between two of my boys.  This is the same location, probably even the same rock and the same two boys... but with a time span of two years in between. I'm thinking we might need to continue this little, accidental photo tradition - as long as I can continue to convince them to go mountain climbing with me!

The beautiful selection of patterned papers keeps the focus on my photos while highlighting the important details. This diamond pattern is to. die. for! *love*

 I think I have also fallen in love with the new acrylic words from Bella Blvd. Check out the detail that you may not notice at first.

I hope everyone had a chance to play along with the challenges flooding the internet for iNSD this year. If not, there's certainly a lot of inspiration for future projects throughout the year. Thanks for visiting..x

Jillibean Soup | Introduction...

Hey Everyone! I just wanted to share a few creative projects from the Jillibean Soup blog last week. 

These projects are a combination of goodies I had in my stash (some - like the corrugated chocolate alphas - are VINTAGE!!!) and some are fairly recent collections.

"Glamorous"

Peapod Parts are always a fun item to have in my stash! And I certainly had fun with this design! Apart from the Soup Staples II/navy salt patterned paper, the rest of the layout is all Happy Hues, Alphabet stickers and Peapod Parts.

 "In Every Today"

The Shaker Cards from Jillibean Soup are simply divine!! I created this quick and easy card with strips of patterned paper and a cloud full of gems!

If you get  the chance, please visit the Jillibean Soup blog and share some love! Thanks for visiting..x
