Featured on Scrapidees Blog

I am thrilled to announce that I am the Guest Blogger on Scrapidees blog (a French sketch blog). Here's the sketch that I created for the DT. You HAVE to visit the site and see what the ladies over there created...they rocked it out!

I had fun playing with products here! I used Authentique's Journey collection, lots of different Cheery Lynn Designs dies, and masking.

I even added a little freehand doodles!


How fabulous is that Basically Bare chipboard dress form? I cut strips of film ribbon and layered the along the bottom and then added a die cut flower and butterfly wings and some rhinestones.

here's a close-up of some of the die cut flowers...


As always, thank you for stopping by!! Have a great day!

What's With All The Cards??

It's been a while, probably a month, since I last created a layout. What's up with that? It probably has a lot to do with the fact that I need to change printers and don't have any inspiring pictured printed out...or maybe the fact that I've been on sort of an altered item kick...or just enjoying card making. I don't really know, but here are 5 more cards. I made these for Paper Craft magazine's WCMD contest.





Thanks for stopping by today. I hope to have some layouts to share soon!!

Good day blog readers!

Every once in a while, I come across a photo that really speaks to me and I just HAVE to scrap it. In this case, the photo belongs to my friend Dolores. The picture is of her and her 3 daughters and she uses it as her facebook profile photo. I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it!

I pulled out some very "girl friendly" Cheery Lynn Designs dies and Authentique Blissful collection and went to work creating a layout that was as pretty as those 4 smiling faces!!


I started by creating a few pleated flowers to draw attention to the photo. This one was created using the Frills and Hearts border. I also die cut a few Darling Daisies, Exotic Butterflies and Fanciful Flourish from cardstock and added them throughout the layout.


School Days Font finishes off the title to complete the layout.



I created this "Thinking of You" card using the same line from Authentique. Both the card and the layout are store samples and will be on display at The Crop Shop (Rockland, Ma).

Thanks so much for stopping by the blog today!!
