My Favorite Things Layout

HI Everyone!

I'm having so much fun creating layouts and here I created a layout of my daughter Natalie of her favorite things. The paper collection is My Favorite Things by Recollections which I had purchased from my local Michaels. I loved all the images in this paper stack and wanted to add a lot of layering and fussy cutting on her layout. One of Natalie's favorite thing to do is bake. She can bake all day if she wanted to. heehee Her most favorite is cupcakes therefore I fussy cut out some cute cupcakes and adhered it to the layout. Natalie also LOVES makeup. I will be the first to tell you that she has more makeup than me. Lol! Her most favorite and first thing she buys when I take her to the store, are nail polish and lipstick. I think she has almost every color out there. Heehee I also fussy cut out the cute image of the girl and PINK poodle because she loves clothes and our Toy Poodle Princess. I added some gorgeous I Am Roses Purple Poinsettia (Substitute) and Small White Flowers to the planter and sprayed them both with Lindy Stamp Gang's Glitz Spritz Scintillating Silver. On the bottom by the post I added the beautiful White Flower, Two Toned Purple Rose, Two Toned Purple Cherry Blossom and my favorite Small White Flower which I had also sprayed with Scintillating Silver. I layered several gorgeous trims from The Piece By Piece which I love. This layout was really fun for me to create because its all the things that Natalie loves.

I Am Roses "April Showers Bring May Flowers"

Hi Everyone!

I'm excited to share that with you another contest I Am Roses will be hosting on their iamrosesdt YouTube channel. Be sure to check out the contest video for all the details. I created this layout of my daughter Ariana with Echo Park This & That Graceful collection. I really love the bold colors. I layered three of the measuring tapes that I fussy cut from the design paper and placed them beside her photo. I added a White Spray,Soft Pink Crochet Flower and a Mini White Rose. The challenge is to create a handmade flower using any of the I Am Roses flowers. Here I created Tulips which is another favorite of mine. To create the Tulip, I used the White Petals which were stained with Lindy Stamp Gang's Cosmopolitan Pink and Hottie Patottie Hot Pink. I then added a White Stamen(substitute) and colored it yellow using my Y35 Copic marker. I placed the tulips on a Bingo card that I also fussy cut from one of the design papers. I also added a sentiment that was from the design paper as well and the butterflies where punched out from my Martha Stewart butterfly punch. To finish off the layout, I added this beautiful green rosette trim that I received from Jo and just loved how it all came together. I look forward to all of you participating and seeing all your handmade flowers.

Happy Easter Altered Easter Egg

Hi Everyone!
I'm excited to share with you that I've been invited to design for Sweet Nothings Stamp Company. I look forward to creating a ton of projects with Lina's adorable digi images. Here I altered a large Easter Egg for my daughter Maddy. I thought it would be adorable to add Sweet Sophie on American Moss to look as though she's sitting on grass. Sophie was holding a flower and just had to fill the moss with flowers and eggs. For the background I cut the design paper from MME Miss Caroline Howdy Doody collection in the shape of an egg and used my Fiskars Cloud punch to give the appearance as if she's outside. I then used three of my favorite MS Butterfly punches and placed two of them on the egg and one on the Happy Easter sign. I really enjoyed making this and can't wait to create my next project.
