A 49er Scrapbook Page featuring Graphic 45's Good Ol' Sport


We are wrapping a month full of projects and inspiration in celebration of National Craft Month over at the Graphic 45 blog. And today, I'll be sharing a fun family scrapbook page I created using the ever-so-fun Good Ol' Sport paper collection.

My family and I have lived in the Bay Area all our lives. As Bay Area natives, we have always followed the San Francisco 49ers. But my husband and eldest son Jarrod, are hard-core 49er fans. After 43 years, Candlestick Park in San Francisco is shutting its doors and the Niners are moving to a new home in Levi Stadium in Santa Clara. Since this was the last year the Niners would be playing at "The Stick", I decided to surprise my family with tickets to see one of the last games in person. Boy did we have FUN! ♥

To commemorate this special day, I created this scrapbook page. I even incorporated a "pocket" to hold the ticket stubs from the game - the perfect keepsake!

Be sure to check out the Graphic 45 blog today for more pictures of this project and inspiration from the other designers! Here are some pics...










Thanks for stopping by to check out my latest project! I will back again later this week with an Easter project and tutorial, so be sure to check back! ♥

Scrapbook Pages & a card featuring Prima's Something Blue


Hi friends! ♥

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. It flew by so fast! I can't believe it's already back to the grind we go!

But, before we jump into the week, I want to share my latest projects for Discount Paper Crafts! I had the pleasure of working with Prima's "Something Blue" collection for my projects this month. I decided to create a couple of layouts and a wedding card.

This collection is so beautiful and I love all the complimentary accessories that Cathie carries on her store... especially the flowers, yummy!! ♥

First up is this scrapbook page I created of my niece Cadence. She is SO precious and cute, the paper collection was perfect to scrap this adorable photo of her...








Next up is this scrapbook page I created of our "first toast" at our wedding. The paper collection is perfect for scrapping wedding photos and creating wedding themed projects, but it is so versatile for much more!







For my last project, I created a wedding card. Here are a few photos...






Thank you ever so much for joining me on my blog today! ♥

Be sure to check out Cathie's store for the latest in Prima and other top named brands like Graphic 45, Petaloo, FabScraps, Blue Fern Studios, Tim Holtz and MORE!


Enjoy your week! ♥

xoxo,

Boehmian Bazaar Upside Down Tag from Summer CHA 2013


Hi there friends! ♥
I have a quick share for you today...

Bohemian Bazaar by Graphic 45 is sort of like that hidden treasure. Although we don't see it often, the colors shine so bright -- the color palette is so vibrant it makes us ache for summer! ♥

I created this upside down tag for the Graphic 45 booth for the summer 2013 CHA. The images on this collection literally scream to be cut out! I love all the flowers and flourish leaves. The coordinating chipboard set complements your project beautifully and with ease!

Here are a few photos. But be sure to visit the Graphic 45 blog HERE for more on this tag as well as a fabulous National Craft Month project and tutorial by my G45 DT teamie Maria Cole! ♥






Thank you for stopping by today. 
Have an amazing, crafty weekend! ♥

Mixed Media Shadow Box frame with Layout & card


Hello blogging friends!
It's been awhile since I've posted here to my blog. Life has been crazy with work and family life... I really do have to find more time to come over to my blog and share. ♥ But if you don't already follow me on Instagram (link the top left of my blog)... I'm there all the time now! hehe! Call it my latest social media addiction. ♥ But just like Pinterest, there is so much inspiration over on Instagram, it's worth a look every day to keep the mojo & crafty inspiration going. ♥

Today, I want to share a few projects I created for Discount Paper Crafts. I shared these on Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest already, but wanted to share photos and product list here. ♥

If you aren't familiar with Discount Paper Crafts, you are truly missing out. Cathie has the most amazing inventory of Prima, Graphic 45, Petaloo, Blue Fern Studios chippies, and Tim Holtz... just to name a few! AND, her prices are discounted every day! I first found DPC through my crafty pal Miranda (MsLiberty25 on YouTube and my fellow G45 DT gal!) Ever since, I've been addicted to Cathie's store. Friendly service, great selection and fast shipping! I've been truly blessed to be on Cathie's design team for the past few months -- she so amazing to work for! ♥

You can find Discount Paper Crafts at: Discountpapercrafts.etsy.com. Tell Cathie I said hello! ♥

For my February projects, I created a Mixed Media Shadow Box with Layout and a card using FabScrap's French Heritage collection (available at Discount Paper Crafts!) These papers are gorgeous and super fun to work with. Here are some photos and at the very end, you will find a video tutorial...





Here is the card I created...
