Now on to what I created…





Hi Everyone!
Here's my Fall tag I created using the Tim Holtz #8 tag. The paper collection I used is the Romantique Collection by Prima. The colors in this collection was perfect for the Fall theme. To create my Maple tree, I used Tan Brown Leaves and Brown Maple Leaves and added a dove on the tree using the Sizzix Bird #5 die. I also added y favorite Rock Candy Stickles on top of the tan brown leaves. On the trunk of the tree, I added the curled stem from the
White Short Paper Flowers Spray to secure the stems from the leaves and to make the trunk appear large. To create the fence, I used my Fence Sizzlit die and add stamped the word Fall on the SU! Modern Label punch die cut. I also added an extra eyelet and tied seam binding which I had stained with the Lindy Stamp Gang My Mojito Green. I really loved the vintage lady next to the tree.

Next up is:

Mommy & Me Crop Bird Cage Mini Album

Hi Everyone!

I had the best time ever at the Scrapbooker's Tale Mommy and Me Crop Ashley and I attended on August 20th from 10am to 2pm. Although we scrapbook together in my scrap room, being at the crop was so exciting. Ashley was so excited that she packed her bags weeks in advance and was literally counting down the days. Brandy had given all the kids an adorable mini album kit to create a really super cute mini. I couldn't believe how fast Ashley completed her album and how anxious she was to start a new project. It was so sweet of her to alter a Michaels Balsa box as a "Thank you" gift to Brandy for hosting the crop. Here I created a birdcage mini album of our fun day together using my new AccuCut Bird Cages(B1076SJ) die. I love the French Country paper collection by DCWV and been wanting to create a mini with this beautiful collection. Below are all the gorgeous I Am Roses flowers that were incorporated onto this mini album. I look forward to the next Mommy and Me Crop.

Altered Bird Nest and Bird Mini Album

Hi Everyone!

I purchased a small and large bird nest several weeks ago at my local Michaels and was really excited to altered one of them. It was so much fun especially because I love birds. Karla's trims and embellishment were perfect for my bird nest and mini. The paper collection I used is the Christmas Emporium collection by Graphic 45 which I had purchased from Karla. To create my bird mini album, I used my new AccuCut Birds #1 die and loved that there were several birds on that die to choose from. I plan on using the larger bird for my big bird nest. Listed below are the products I used from Karla's etsy.

Sand Castle Mini Album and Shadow Box Photo Stand

Hi Everyone!

I've been wanting to scrapbook my girls pictures at the beach from Hawaii. My sister and her family lived there for a few years and we were so happy to have had two vacations in Oahu. Ko'Olina in Kapolei was such a beautiful beach and the girls loved making sand castles and swimming. The girls were so amazed seeing the little fishes in the water. AccuCutCraft's Bare Elements Reyna Castle Book #2 was perfect for this project and loved how it turned out. I really love the new Nantucket paper collection by Pink Paislee. The colors are so beautiful and went perfect with the sand castle theme.

So Sweet Layout

Hi Everyone!

Here's a layout I created for AccuCutCraft of my niece Sofia. Natalie took this adorable of picture of her outside right before they went swimming. I loved how Natalie placed a flower right by her ear. In many of my projects, I always love to add a flower by my girls ear on their picture and this photo of Sofia was just too cute. I just love the Portrait-11 1/2" (P1022G) by AccuCutCraft. The shape has a very elegant style and you can great so many projects with just this one die. In my video, I share how I created my layout and all the embellishments I used on my layout.

3D Sleigh Favor Box

I had so much fun creating this 3D Sleigh with my new AccuCut 3D Sleigh die. I thought it would so perfect to place one of Bev's Muslin bags to represent Santa's bag filled with crochet flowers. I loved that it looked like a mini version of his bag. To create the 3D sleigh, I used a 12x12 design paper from Fancy Pants Saint Nick collection. The mini diecut of St. Nicholas came from the 6x6 paper pad. All the wonderful flowers can be purchased at I Am Roses. Bunma has a ton of new flowers for all those wonderful upcoming Christmas projects. Listed below are all the flowers I incorporated on my project.
