"Beautiful Friendship" Layout featuring Kaisercraft's Lady Rose collection


Hello blogging friends!
I'm here today with my very first Discount Paper Crafts design team project! I want to thank Cathie again for the wonderful opportunity to design for her store. She carries the most amazing collection of scrapbooking supplies out there. If it's hot and "in", Cathie's got it at her store! I love her store and she is the most amazing person, which makes creating for her such a joy! ❤

I created this 12x12 scrapbook page of my best pal Bona ("livelovescrap") taken at CHA a few years ago. It's one of my favorite photos of us. It's a joy that we both share the same passion and love for paper crafting! ❤

The featured collection on this layout is Kaisercraft's Lady Rose collection, available at Discount Paper Crafts. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this collection. It's perfect for all your "friendship" and "love" themed projects!

Here are some photos of the layout I created:








Here is a video tutorial showing you how this page came together:

"Live, Laugh, Love" Layout featuring Graphic 45's Typography



Hello my blogging friends! Hope you are all doing well. It's been awhile since I posted here on my blog as I just returned from a business trip. But I am dying to hit my craft desk this weekend and create like a mad-woman! LOL! ♥


Today I want to share a special layout I created of myself and my youngest son Logan. I chose Graphic 45's Typography collection as inspiration for my layout. I love the color palette and the sentiments and verses included in the collection were perfect for this page.

Here are some photos...

G45 Bohemian Bazaar Altered Photo Carousel


Hello friends and happy Monday to you all!

Today, I have a special altered project I want to share with you. I found this raw wood photo carousel at my local Michael's and I thought it would be fun to alter something special to place on my office desk.  I buffed the wood with my Tim Holtz sanding block, then painted it with Ivory acrylic paint and edged it with Ranger's Distress ink in Vintage Photo. All the beautiful and virbant decor is from the Bohemian Bazaar paper collection. Available to match the paper collection are the matching chipboard and stickers. I really love coordinating embellishments. It saves me a ton of time when creating because I already know all the product will compliment each other! ❤

Here are some photos:








I also created a video to walk you through this project:


Thank you ever so much for joining me today!

Have yourself a wonderful crafty week! ❤
