Forever Friends

Happy Tuesday Everyone!
     Once Upon A Sketch challenge theme for the month of July is friend. I chose to create a layout of me and hubby the night he proposed. That was one of the best days ever! The prior month we found out we were expecting!

Here is the sketch...



I love love love my final product...

Paperline: Colorbok "Rosewood"
Spellbinders Dies: "Fancy Tags"
Sizzix Dies: "Flourishes"
Studio 18: Chipboard Shape
I also used lace, pearl trim, store bought flowers, and handmade flowers, and fussy cut some stamp images from the collection.

I have hidden journaling on the back that reads "On April 29, 2009 you asked me to be your lover and friend forever..."

Hope you enjoy!

Sketches in Thyme #81Challenge: Mickey's Helper

Hi bloggers!
    How is everyone doing! I think it's been a week or a little over a week since I made my last post. We have had some family in town and it's been crazy busy and fun here! I have had no time to scrapbook or craft anything but now the house is back to normal and I'm back creating!! I was going to enter the Sketches in Thyme #81 challenge but I was too late. Here is the sketch...



Here is my layout...


I used the Ek Success Mickey Disney paperline and stickers, some Recollections single sheets from Michaels, buttons, ric rac ribbon, handmade rossette flowers, and I splashed some kelly green folk art paint in the corners.



Hope this gives you inspiration! Thanks for stopping by!!

Birthday Mini Album

Hello Everyone!
   Hope everyones' weekend was enjoyable. We attended our church's anniversary picnic at this amazing ranch, here in Texas! Even though the heat was scorching, we had an awesome time. Glad to be back to share another project with you guys! I received my long awaited pics in the mail...and I have had such a fun time creating this mini album. It took me about a week to complete it and I think I'm getting so much better...


My son had a mickey themed birthday party, so I chose the Eksuccess Disney paperline. 


The chipboard album is by Colorbok. I used tons of different products on the mini such as Recollections card stock, Spellbinders Lacey Circles Die, Ek success stickers.







 I used a host of Studio G products such as flowers, chipboard letters and phrases, buttons, and bling.



I also used an Ek success Mickey punch, embroidery floss, and ribbon.



Hope you enjoy my mini album! Feel free to comment!

Hi there bloggers! Hope everyone had an awesome Father's Day...I know we did! I finally got my pictures in and I have been occupied with making a mini album from my son's 2nd birthday party.  I have two projects to share with you. I created a birthday step card for my sister/cousin. I can't believe how cute and girly this card turned out! The paperline is Teresa Collins "Posh"-very sexy papers and I plan to make a couple of layouts of myself with this line...lol! I used some cutouts, homemade flowers, ribbon, wedding sprays, and fiskars stamps...



I just love love love this card!!!
 To go along with the Father's Day card I made for my husband, I made him a fold out tag for his desk at work. I got this idea from Elsa at Just a Few Designs.blogspot.com. Just click on the link to see how you can be inspired and create one!

Then I can get my train back to moving...lol! I did manage to go ahead and start on my husband a very nice Father's Day card! This card I would say in very grungy. I painted, distressed, modge podged, and sanded some corrugated board. The paperline I used is Bo Bunny "Timepiece". I fussy cut the clocks and used my Spellbinders "Fancy Tags". I typed up and printed the sentiment from my computer.
