Not2Shabby Monday

Hello my friend!

So I feel like it's been a VERY long time since my last post:/ well not that long but still! I have an exciting project to share with you! As you know I am a design team member for the not2shabbyshop on Zibbet. For this month's projects I chose La La Land Stamps. I know! I have never created with them and to be quite honest, I have no idea why! I had a blast!

I created an easel card using the BoBunny Isabella Collection. I colored my image with my trusty copics:) One of the stamps that I chose is Birthday Cake Marci. Take a look:

I am typically not a pink type of gal but, this project just makes me so happy and I am loving the pink!

I wanted to give you a little sneak peek to what project I am working on next;)

Make sure you check out the not2ShabbyShop on Zibbet. A lot of stamps are on sale including the one that I used. I also have a coupon code for 10% off you purchase including sale items: CRAFTYME83

Mini Album Friday

Hi Friends!

Today I wanted to come to you with a 6 X 6 mini Album. It was soooo much fun to create and the colors were so darling! I made this mini for my sister who has been living in France for the past year. She came home to California for her birthday and, I knew I wanted to create something for her that she could cherish for years to come. I picked random pictures from her Facebook page that illustrated some her the moments I thought she would want to remember from her first year living the "French" life. Of course I took a few pictures:)

This is the front cover I used the Hello Today Collection by Heidi Swapp and of course, Prima flowers. Here are a couple more pictures of the inside.

Pictures do not give the mini album justice so for that reason, I of course did a project share video. Check it out!

This Mini album took me about a day to finish. I guess when you are having fun and have a deadline, it's easier to get it done right?! haha. Since my sister had told me she liked my cards I HAD to make one for her so, of course I had to create one that matched not only the mini but also her personality!

You guess it! it's a My-Besties card!  I love the colors of this one! Mainly because they're my faves but so cute! She loved her presents and said she would display them at her place in France:) The look on her face when she opened her present was priceless. I loved seeing her reaction!

I hope you all enjoyed my projects today! Let me know what you think! Have an awesome weekend!

Layout Monday - "Timeless"

Hi Friends!

So I am back! I wanted to share with you a layout that I made for my mother-in-law for Mother's day. I really wanted to create a project for her that would be timeless. I asked my Father-in-law if he could send me pictures of them and I would pick one:) Here's the layout:

I used a 12 x 12 canvas, a mix of Recolletions and Prima flowers ( Of course :)) some Lindy's Stamp Gang Sprays and little of Mixed media imgination:) here are some close ups:

When she opened it she was so surprised and happy! She was so happy she cried! It was so beautiful seeing that look in her eyes then I remembered, this is why I craft. To showcase memories we never want to forget. I always loved creating layouts but now I see a deeper meaning to my creations:) I hope you enjoyed my "timeless" Layout.

Have a happy week!
