Try It Tuesday~ Bella Blvd!

Hi guys!!

I have been scrapbooking and  have a really cute page to share.  I used some

 old Bella Blvd. supplies but still super cute and perfect for the photo !

I love this little boy so much. The way he reacts to his daddy just touches my heart.

You can sure see they both adore each other.  He is happy to be in his dads strong arms.

I named the page " You are kinda a BIG Deal" because he is!

The name of the paper set and embellishment pack is called Alex. 

My eyes really love the blue tones!!

I used several different stickers to create the title.  Love mixing it up like that.

Some of them are from way back and I still think they work for todays trends!!

Thanks for stopping by~

Get out that stash, that you loved when you bought it, and use it on some pages :)

You will LOVE the results!!!

Try It Tuesday ~ Bunting Border stamp by Darkroom Door!!!

Hi guys!

I have a fun project to share making a Bunting for a scrapbook page

 using the Bunting Border stamp by Darkroom Door.  I jazzed the Bunting up with

 some Texture stamps. So fun!!!

I prepared a collage showing the steps to creating this fun Bunting~

Steps:

Spray colored ink on white cardstock.  Use the Bunting Border Stamp by Darkroom Door and stamp over the area using Black Archival ink.  Trim out.  Use different Texture stamps and inks and stamp on different flags on the Bunting.  Really easy and gives the Bunting a bright and fun look.

The Owl in the photo started this Bunting journey :)

The supplies are The Paper Studio, 7gypsies, Little Yellow Bicycle and American Crafts.

A re-do with Magpie and Haven~

Hi everyone!! Hoping you are having a good week.  I have really been busy and it has not been "crafty" busy either:):) I'll have to tell ya about it sometime~

This is another layout I did for the JBS crop a couple of weekends ago.  The funny thing is I was doing layouts so fast and then moving to the next challenge.  When I stopped and looked at this one I decided it needed a re-do.  You are seeing the re-do. 

Pinwheels are very trendy right now and they are easy and fun to make besides looking fantastic on a layout.  Here is link for a tutorial on how to make them HERE. OK here is the before the re-do picture~

Yep greatly improved in my opinion:):) I used Magpie and Haven on this one.  All products are Jenni Bowlin Studios { cause it was her crop:):):)}

****************************************************************

This afternoon I'm to be featured on Scrap News and Review.  It will be on the front page of the magazine and visible to everyone.  Jenni Bowlin Studios will be running a sneak peek on their blog also.  I used the fabulous WREN line.  I hope it goes off as planned:):):) and I hope you take a look {if not I will post a link tomorrow}  I'm teaching today at Craft Crossing ~I'll see ya soon!!!
