Friendship Layout

Hi Everyone!

Natalie had gone to her friends slumber birthday party and took this adorable picture with one of her friends. I thought this would be a great picture on a layout. I used the gorgeous GCD Studios Antiquities collection that was designed by Donna Salazar which I had purchased from my local Michaels. I just love all the dress forms and vintage images. There were a ton of images that were perfect and may I say "fun" to fussy cut out. I always place my 12 x 12 layouts on medium weight chipboard or a canvas. It just makes it easier to display or hang. I used one of my paint brushes and Lindy Stamp Gang Dark Chocolate Truffle to create a splatter background. There were a ton of border strips from the paper stack and I decided to layer them too. I incorporated the gorgeous I Am Roses White Puffy Daisy which I cut in half and sprayed with Lindy's Sea Grass Green. For the center flower, I added a White Rose that I first sprayed with Lindy's Salt Water Taffy then used a paint brush to paint the tips of the petal with Lindy's Cape Cod Coral and also paint the center of the rose too. I love the two toned color. The smaller White Roses I sprayed also with the Cape Cod Coral Starburst Spray and to accent the flowers, I added the super adorable and tiny Brown Roses. Be sure to stop by I Am Roses and some of these gorgeous flowers to your layout.

Cupcake For You Card

Hi Everyone!
I'm happy to share with a card I created for Precious Remembrance Shop. I met Dyane over a year ago on YouTube and I so excited for her and love her new stamp collections. I'm thrilled to be a Guest Designer for the Precious Remembrance Shop for April's Saturday Creations. Here I created a birthday card using Echo Park Country Drive collection. Cupcakes are one of my all time favorite desserts and I had a blast paper piecing all these cupcakes with the Birthday Stamp Set. I placed the cupcakes on a stand using Sizzix Cake w/Stand,Candles & Flower Die. I then layered some leaves with my Martha Stewart Frond Leaf punch and I Am Roses flowers. For the sentiment, I stamped celebrate onto the design paper and used my favorite Fiskars Ticket punch. Inside the card, I added a single cupcake and stamped the sentiment cupcake for you. I had a great time creating a birthday card and look out for my next Saturday Creations using the adorable Calendar Stamp Set.

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.
