Inspiration Wednesday - Anything but a card!


Hey there friends! It's Inspiration Wednesday and I have another fun project to share with you all.

This week's theme is:

Anything But a Card!

I can't get enough of my new niece Jaelyn (she is TOO adorable!!)... so here I go again with another scrapbook page of her! ♥

I incorporated some fun die-cuts created using La La Land Crafts dies (my favorite!!!)

Here are some pics...



You can see the beautiful Fancy Butterfly die above Jaelyn's photo. I also die cut a few of the Stitched Ribbons and used them to accent Jaelyn's photo to the right. I added a touch of Diamond Stickles to several of the die-cuts...


I stenciled some butterflies onto the back-ground using some crackle paste medium... You can see the Scallop Border die peeking out from behind the layers...


I incorporated the leaves of the Open Leaf Flourish die around the cluster of flowers.
I love the Wrought Iron Fence die... I used it as a border here on the lay-out....




Under the flower, I added the Masquerade Mask die, which can double as a really beautiful flourish when you flip it upside-down... love it!



I hope you enjoyed my project share today. Thank you so much for taking the time to take a peek! ♥

Happy Hump day... it's Wednesday and the week is 1/2 way over, Enjoy it! ♥

Inspiration Wednesday with LLLC - Something Sweet!


Hello there friends and welcome to another Inspiration Wednesday with the La La Land Crafts design team!

This week's theme is:

Something Sweet!

I decided to create a sweet card for a friend... soft and shabby! What fun I had incorporating several die-cuts produced from La La Land Crafts steel dies!

Here are some photos:


I added the Flag Banner for some fun and touched it up with some Diamond Stickles. Around the edges of the card, I used the Yin Yang Border die. So versatile and pretty! ♥
I used the Stitched Ribbon die and the design paper to create a simple strip above the lace to balance the card. Above that, you will see the Groovy Border die peeking out.


I love how versatile the LLLC dies are... I used the Masquerade mask as an accent piece under the floral cluster. I also added some of the Heart Scroll Corner dies  around the flowers and on the top corners of the card. I added some of the Large Rolled Roses to the cluster of flowers... I love working with these roses... ♥


The new Tall Birdhouse dies are fun to work with as well. I added them around the flowers, and touched them up with some Diamond Stickles to add some texture.

Precious Memories - Scrapbook Layout and Tutorial


Hi crafty friends! ♥

Just wanted to quickly share a scrapbook page I created for my sweet baby niece Jaelyn. She is so adorable, and I love that I can get girly when I create for her (I have 3 boys, so I don't break out with the pink very often, LOL!) I had so much fun layering and playing with Graphic 45's Precious Memories paper collection!

Here are some photos:











Here is my video tutorial, walking you through the creation of this page.


Thanks so much for stopping by to peek! ♥

Hoping you enjoy the rest of your week!
