Happy Friday to my creative friends! The NEW March 2014 Noel Mignon “Wishing Well” kit is in my hands and today I have my first project to share with you.

FILL YOUR HEART

I took this picture of Camryn last week and it was the perfect colors to go with this new kit. I love that there is a big heart on her sweater … it goes perfectly with the quote on the wood card and inspired me to add all kinds of heart elements around the page.

Heart rubons in the corner (along with a sticker and a bit of washi tape) …

Shiny, gold hearts sprinkled down the right side of my photo …

And a cluster of die cut hearts on top of a doily. There is even a subtle heart pattern on the paper bag accent.

I kept the colors and patterns of this page soft and just had fun playing with the patterns and embellishments.

Enjoy your weekend! I hope you make some memories with your loved ones and are able to sneak in a little crafting time as well.

Fun with Vellum Stickers

My scrapbook room has been buzzing like a hive as I’ve been working on creating a bunch of projects for Lisa Bearnson’s upcoming HSN show on March 24th. One of the fun, NEW products that I have been playing with are the Inspired Inc. Vellum Stickers (Item #307453). I can’t wait to share everything with you, but until then, here’s a peek at one of my projects that was featured on the HSN blog last week (click on the link for full instructions and step-by-step photos).

 

I think this would be such a fun, little gift to give to a teacher, co-worker, or neighbor as a small gesture to usher in Spring!

Be sure to follow Lisa’s Blog and Facebook page for more sneak peeks of upcoming products and set your alarm to watch “Papercrafting with Lisa Bearnson” on March 24th.

Have a creative day!

Birthday Girl

I’m up on the BasicGrey blog today with a new scrapbook page featuring BasicGrey cut files (available in the Silhouette store) and a cut file created by me! This is the first time I have created a cut file and I had a lot of fun doing it.

The rainbow, banner shapes and icons decorating the balloons are BasicGrey shapes that are available in the Silhouette online store. The handwritten “Birthday” word and the balloons are cut files that you can download at THIS POST on the BasicGrey Blog or by clicking the icon below.

 

 

I love titles with mixed fonts and thought it would be fun to use my own handwriting in this title. I wrote the word “Birthday” on a sheet of paper several times using a black marker and then scanned it to create the svg cut file. It was fun! And I hope to make more in the near future.

Thanks for coming by! Have a great day!
