Hello Spring?

Happy Friday, friends! 

This week has been a blur...and it's also hard to believe that I took this photo just a little over a week ago.  It was snowy and cold, but thankfully the sun has been out all week and it's supposed to be over 60 degrees today!  Yay!  

Last year at this time, we were in the beginning of a very long and hot heat wave, which led to a miserable drought, so I'm okay with spring making a late arrival this year...it's cool :)

I adore the "Hello" wood veneer name tag and thought it would be perfect for my title.  

I used one of my favorite masks and some modeling paste for the octagon shapes...love that stuff...

 I also used bits and pieces from March's SC Kits +Add-ons for this layout.

Have a great day and thanks for looking!

Nature Walk

I'm over at the Come On Get Crafty blog today with a fun misting tutorial...you can check it out here.  

And here's the layout I created using the ombre mist technique in the tutorial...

I used paper from March's SC kit +Add-ons and all the wood veneers are from the Come On Get Crafty online shop.  They also have a $5.00 shipping promotion going on, so go check it out and grab some great products!

Have a great evening, TFL!

Hugs & Kisses

Happy Wednesday, everyone!

Do you remember when I created this?

I used lots of my scrap goodies to create some Valentine home decor back in January...with full intentions to eventually turn it into a layout!  

 And here's what I came up with...

I used lots of Studio Calico goodies and some awesome Heidi Swapp embellishments.  The patterned paper is one of my favorites from Maggie Holmes.

This layout has a little bit of everything I love...die cuts, ampersands, a doily, arrows, bling, ink splotches, and of course, one of my absolute all time favorite family photos!  :)

Hugs and kisses to you!  TFL!

Happy Tuesday, friends! 

I have my Week 13 Project Life spread to share with you today...

It was a wild week and it all started with a little debit card fraud...and I'm still trying to get it all squared away and figured out.  I was at the bank three times, ugh!!!!  On a happier note, I got my new dishwasher installed and the sun decided to finally shine!  I think spring is on it's way...

Avery and I took a couple "nature walks" this week...she led the way and found all sorts of fun things!  

We even got to sneak in a little fishing on Saturday, which is always a good thing :)

The boys played in the woods and built their first official fort.  They were so proud of themselves!

I used lots of the new Midnight Edition from AC Digitals for this week's spread...I am in love with that collection!

They delivered our shed materials on Saturday, despite the muddy conditions.  My hubby had to break out the tractor to get the semi un-stuck...twice...

I also used LOTS of goodies from Come On Get Crafty's online shop and the rest of my March Project Life kit from Studio Calico.

And here's the full spread for Week 13...

I also had quite a few great captures from Easter so I decided to put them in another 12x12 page protector as an insert.  I printed off some of my favorite shots in 4x6 and 4x4 sizes and just slipped them in the pockets.  I also added a title and journaling card on the front...

I also added in that adorable "You're A Good Egg" filler card from LifeLovePaper.com and misted it with some Mister Huey's for a little pop.

I hope you had a wonderful Easter!  TFL!

Lily Bee Blog Hop

Hi there, Lily Bee fans! It's time for a blog hop to showcase the talents of our new design team!




Our blog hop continues with this week's theme of Spring / Easter projects!  I decided to create some Easter-inspired home decor for this hop...

I have two frames (an 8x10 and a 5x7) that I like to use to showcase seasonal home decor around my home.  I love to use my paper crafting supplies to make simple, seasonal decorations that my family and I can enjoy!

For these framed art pieces, I cut out an egg and bunny design using my Silhouette Cameo.  I used the "negative" of the cutout designs and placed strips of paper from the Sweet Shoppe and Pinwheel collections behind them on a separate sheet of card stock.  It couldn't have been easier!  For the bunny's tail, I used a small scalloped punch and a small brad to add some dimension to the bunny silhouette.  I also took a white gel pen and added "stitches" all around the bunny shape for more of a handmade look.

I also used a small flower-shaped punch and some enamel dots to add a few flowers to some of the eggs in the larger frame.  I wanted to keep the design simple, but bright and colorful.

I'm so excited to be working with the following designers for the next year! They have created many inspirational projects using the new collections, so make sure you stop by each of their blogs to see their work and leave them some love and then head back over here for a chance to win some Lily Bee Design products of your own!
