♥ PINSPIRATION friday at MME ♥

good morning!  how's your week?  we are enjoying every day together, it's been a whirlwind of activity here with the kids home, we love our days together.

today i am up on the MME blog with a card completely inspired by one of the amazing projects on the MME Pinterest Inspiring pages & cards board. 

i created my card with the new Kate & Co. Cambridge Court line of papers and embellies

here's a sneak peek of what i created, please pop in and say hello and see the amazing inspiration this morning

have a GREAT and fun day, we're going to hit record temperatures like so much of the west, wish us luck♥

♥ funky town....yes it is! ♥

good morning!  i'm popping in to share a couple of layouts created with this month's Scraptastic Scrapbooking Kits

Funky Town 

 Cool Hipster Layout

 i love all the fun tidbits and possible cut-out embellies in this month's Scraptastic Scrapbooking Kits June kit Funky Town

 

 this was my eldest son being.....

well,

fun, nifty, crazy and awesome....giggle

when your kids are off to college, you do not getting many of these moments anymore.  moments we try never to take for granted but that pass us all by far too quickly.  i cherish these memories of this trip, it was fun, cool, quirky, nifty, and yes even a whole lot of retro at the antique faire.

 

 this is definitely a sunday i won't soon forget!  he is hilarious, fun, cool, hip and just makes this mommy laugh like no other

and this isn't the only layout i am going to share this month.  i create a lot of layouts a month, document our story, but don't share often, not because of any reason other than i put them in albums and the next page of the story has been added to the book.  i want my kids to read the book when i am finished, seems more fun that way, someday, it's what they'll have.  so, while i haven't shared with them, i'll share another layout here :)  smile

 Historic Auburn Layout

 i love the alphas that came in this month's kit, so fun to play with

 trending now....

triangles

 these wood veneers and saying make me giddy, perfect for my layouts this month

thanks for letting me share with you, make sure to check out the DT Gallery it's packed with inspiration for layouts, cards and YES Project Lift kit ideas too!

hugs & so much love!

♥ gosh you're awesome ♥

you really are.  and that's why i know you'll completely {heart} these new enamel dots from MME The Sweetest Thing line.  these are so much fun to play with and i can not wait to see what you will do with them.

i created four cards using the dots as my "focal embellishment" and can't wait to play some more with these.  i love that you can add a splash of color without getting too "bulky" which is very important with cards (especially those you want to mail)

gosh you're awesome card

(together enamel dots)

 i love this polaroid frame paper......a LOT

it makes it so easy to cut out a polaroid frame and stitch and layer, again, without a lot of "bulk" being added to your page or cards

 wonderful you card

(together enamel dots)

 

 as you can see in this "side view" you can add the splash of color with not more dimension than  some "punched hearts"  these would be very mailable without a lot of hassle at the post.

 on the next two cards, i wanted to add more than a "splash of color" to my sentiment and design, i wanted to "play" with the embellishment use of the dots.

on my first card, i wanted to play with one of the new stamps in this set

 

The Sweetest Thing Hello Stamp Set 

the "hello" sentiment is an absolute FAVE of mine and you have to get this set to play with it as well as the chevrons, borders, numbers, florals....ok, all of it

 

i pulled out some Jenni Bowlin & Papertrey Ink stamp pads and matched my dots up to the colors to create this fun, playful sentiment for the focal of my card

 and on this card, i punched some flowers and used the dots as the centers (not unique, but never our of style)  i love the added color splash and it's so fun and easy to do for a fun thank you card

 as you can see, the enamel dots give a splash of color while still being relatively easy to send in the mail

i hope this gives you a couple of ideas for the dots.  i really can't wait to see what all you will come up with using these fun, new embellishments from MME.

don't forget to stop by the blog all week long for more inspiration using the enamel dots.  Tina had an amazing post using the enamel dots as border embellishments along with her designer tapes yesterday and the inspiration will continue all throughout the week♥

thank you for your sweetest notes, they make my day every day, you are the sweetest of friends!

hugs & so much love
