hello. with a break in the weather i thought i would pop in and share a couple of layouts created with the FEB NOOK KIT filled with gorgeous October Afternoon Sasparilla and the FEB GRAB BAG (free for subscribers). both layouts were inspired by the Designer Showcase over at My Scrapbook Nook right now filled with gorgeous inspiration. you have to check out the amazing quilted designs, so much fun.


(click pics to enlarge)


my silly boy layout





i cut the title using the Cameo (enabler alert!!!! i LOVE the Cameo)












different swatches for the design







even stitched a quilt swatch right onto the background












and another layout using a background pp and only a couple of strips of "quilt pattern" to highlight the pp



cute, creative smart & happy layout













i hope you will join us over at the Nook with this fun challenge. you have to check out all the other designs popping up in the thread here


have a great weekend everyone.

playing with the cameo

and some scraps today.
my sweet hubby purchased the Cameo for my Valentine's/birthday present. my hubby has offered to purchase any/all electronic machines as they were released, but i have been quite content with my Cuttlebug.
i was not been interested in purchasing cartridges, as expensive as they were, for only a couple of images that i would be able to use. so, when they released the Cameo, with the online store allowing you to purchase one image at a time, i was sold and hubby purchased it.
am i spoiled or what? i think so ;)

so, i have been playing with this fun, new machine, and loving it.

here's the new download i purchased and used on this card

4 x 6 life cards


they are fabulous if you are thinking of purchasing them.


and here's the card i created with the chevron strips from the life card.


get well soon card





i decided to use a double-sided pp, one that would be fun to flip the chevrons on the card. i stitched the blue chevrons to add some detail before adhering the flowers.






card ingredients:

Papertrey Ink Kraft Cardstock
American Crafts Peachy Keen pp
Pebbles 3-d Floral Lane floral stickers
Papertrey Ink stamp & fresh snow ink
buttons from stash
Singer thread


thanks for visiting me today, i'm off to put together the rest of the kids valentine goodies for their classrooms.

Super Hero Lollipop Valentines

he's been cutting out all the capes and is really excited. but the masks are a little trickier, so mom's going to give those a go.

happy monday♥

hello again.

hello.
just called to say hello.

(that Neil Diamond song came to mind as i began to type the words, silly huh?)


last year i decided, after lots of prayer, and with a lot of support from my dts, to take a blogging/creating break for personal/family reasons. i won't bore you with details, but i really needed to do it to adjust to some big changes for all of us.

over the last year, i slowly resumed creating and am creating full time once again and loving it, probably more than ever. during the last year, i received emails from wonderful friends and acquaintances inquiring if and when i would resume blogging. i have to share that those emails and friendship have meant the world to me, and i thank you with all my heart.


so i hope you'll visit me, share your thoughts, friendship, inspiration and stories with me.


and, what would a blog post be without at least a card, two or four? :)

with valentine's day on tuesday, i thought it would be fun to share a couple of valentine cards with you. i hope you'll share links to some you have created, i would really love to come and visit you too.
