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!

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! ♥

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! ♥

Please stop by the Graphic 45 blog for more ATC and springtime fun!
