the CHA reveals happening over on the My Mind's Eye blog this week?  

i.can.not.pick.a.favorite.

it's true, i can NOT.  having worked with them, it does NOT get ANY easier either.  i love the colors, the new designs, the embellies, the patterns, they rock.  

i wanted to share with you, my friends, my excitement and love of all things MME that we share and share some links and thoughts.

here are some sneaks of cards, created with the new Cut and Paste Adorbs line, that have been shared on the MME blog

i looooove this line.  i can not wait to scrap pictures of my daughter with this line.  she wears a lot of these gorgeous blues and pinks and i am so excited.  the embellishments and the tapes, oh my!  i can NOT tell you how much i love it!

and here's a card created with 3 of the 4 Adorbs designer tapes, (i found the tapes at the bottom of my box after sending off my cards for the post)

just be you card

aren't these tapes absolutely the CUTEST?  i just love them!!

Chalk Studio

can i share a little secret and you WILL NOT tell?  i loooove the chalkboard look but was not willing to take the time to create them on my projects. no, i was not.  

so the amazing Rhonna Farrer has yet again, created magic for us! yes, i love her designs more than anything, she's amazing!  bless her, she took care of this very busy mommy so i could just create away with chalkboard papers and embellies!  there's a special place for her in scrapbook heaven i tell ya.

you have to pop into the My Mind's Eye blog 

to see the entire line, yes, even the 8 x 10 pieces waiting to be framed and that adorable banner, swooooon!

here is a collage of sneak peeks of cards i created with this new line.  since they haven't been released on the blog yet, i am just sharing sneak peeks of them for now.

♥ cupcards to go summer card kit part 2 ♥

hello.  are you having record-setting heat or down-pouring rain right now where you live?  we are burning hot here and it makes it a challenge to keep kids cool and relaxed.  my kids are allergic to the chemicals in our local swimming pool, they have to swim in fresh water or smaller hotel pools, the larger swim centers have to use more of the chemicals and it does not sit well with any of my boys.  so, to cool them down, we take them to various lakes and smaller pools, which is a little ways away.  i am very excited for all the fun picture-taking opportunities and memories this week, it's a week i won't soon forget.

sorry for rambling, but this has been a H*O*T week and am wondering what it's like where YOU are.

i am back to share some more cards from the gorgeous CupCards to Go Isabella Summer card kit.

i love everything about this kit, from the papers, to the embellies, to the washi, to the sentiments, it's all perfect!

i shared the first set of the cards created with the kit HERE

here's Isabella 

(Part Two)

i love this fabric paper that is in the kit and used it on quite a few cards, fun to play with!

 the challenge this month was to create a masculine birthday card using the supplies in our kit also.   using my guitar die and the embellies/papers from the kit, this card was fun to create.

  my "hello" card was inspired by this month's sketch 

 

  instead of the strip of paper in front of the block of cardstock, i chose to cut my paper and create faux washi tape with it.  i kept the greeting the focal of the card and embellished it with the fun and happy papers. 

i cut one of the happy birthday sentiments down to just read "hello" for this particular card.

 

and with my leftovers from the kit, i created hand-made embellies.  i like to create hand-made embellies before throwing out the very last tidbits of a kit that were too small so when i need a card, it is easy to adhere them to some cardstock and go.  i actually have a small box of just handmade embellies for that very purpose and use it all the time.

and here are three cards i created with them and the tag will be tied to a gift bag very soon

and a shaker card using some fun sequins i had in my stash 

   i hope you'll check out Isabella 

for yourself, you will NOT be disappointed, it is packed FULL of fun supplies in order to create a LOT of cards!

thank you so much for visiting me and for your incredibly sweet notes!

happy creating♥
