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...

Here is the video tutorial for the Mixed Media Shadow Box and Layout:

Easter ATC's featuring Sweet Sentiments by Graphic 45!

Happy Friday my friends! ♥

Thank goodness it's Friday. It's been one of those weeks where I've been counting the minutes and seconds until the weekend. Finally, the weekend is here! Yippee!! ♥

I have a few ATC's to share with you today. When I first started crafting more avidly, I joined several ATC swaps. These little guys are so much fun to make! What is an ATC you say? An Artist Trading Card is defined by Wikipedia as follows:

Artist trading cards (or ATCs) are miniature works of art about the same size as modern trading cards baseball cards,[1] or 2 1⁄2 by 3 1⁄2 inches (64 mm × 89 mm),[2] small enough to fit inside standard card-collector pockets, sleeves or sheets.

Here are some photos of the 2 Easter ATC's I created featuring Graphic 45's Sweet Sentiments paper collection:

Here is a quick video sharing these little ATC's up close!

Thank you so much for joining me today! ♥

xoxo ♥,
