Lili of the Valley Sneak Peek!

 

What a week, I finally got to color today! I'm so happy for that. Working so much I hardly have time to do what I love. Hopefully things will settle down soon so I will find that happy medium.

It's almost CHA time!! I love this time of year and seeing all of my lovely friends from around the world and meeting new ones. I just love it and I can't wait. Even if it is in Las Vegas.. a city I'm really not too fond of and that's putting it mildly! :)

 

Here's a sneak peek of the upcoming Lili of the Valley release!

I'm so excited about this release. There are some ADORABLE images.. so get your shopping carts ready! I promise you will not be disappointed! Keep your eye out for other sneak peeks on my fellow dt's blogs and on the Lili of the Valley Inspiration Blog. Doesn't this sentiment go perfect with this image, too? It's one of my sentiments from Little Darlings, Fairytale Sentiments.

Man of the Hour!

Hey there crafty peeps!

 

Here's a layout I made of my hubby! We were in line at the Midway Games ride at Disneyland. He actually scored highest in that hour on the ride, too! Perfect for this layout! I used the Fancy Pants Swagger Collection. I love this collection. I have been using it a lot on my cards too. So very versatile. These colors would be just gorgeous on Fall projects too! I guess I better save some paper the, eh?!

 

Here's a list of what I've used:

Swagger buttons, Swagger Collection, Swagger Sticker Fundamentals, Swagger Banner Die Cuts, Swagger Label Stickers, Swagger Clips, Swagger Ephemera Pack

 

Well I just got off work and thought I'd pop on over to post a quick project. I'll be working on some new things before work tomorrow. Enjoy your Sunday!

A new friend and a new venture!

 

 

Hello there lovely crafty peeps!

 

I have some exciting news to share with you all!

I met a lovely lady through Collective Journey --the scrapbook store in Redlands that I teach at. About a month ago after  seeing my cards at the store and visiting my blog and seeing that I do graphic designing Lisa contacted me to ask if I'd be interested in designing stamps for her company The Crafts Meow. I said yes!

 

Here's Lisa and I at Collective Journey this past Wednesday!

 

 

I'm very excited about this. Keep an eye out for sneak peeks.. coming very soon on

 The Crafts Meow Blog!!!

 

 



A Masculine Card to share!

 

Hi there everyone!

 

It's time for a new post at the Little Darlings Blog. I've decided to go with a masculine card. This will actually be the card we will be making for July's class at Collective Journey in Redlands, California.

If you are interested in coming to one of my classes check out my sidebar. I also offer classes at ONLINE at Color me Creative!

 

I wanted to make a sunset and really use some deep colors. I absolutely LOVE the way this came out. It's so much better in person, I've used 3d foam dots on all the layers so this card really POPS!

 

I hope you like my card.

Have a great day!!

Happy Saturday!

 

I wanted to share a layout today. I couldn't resist using my Fancy Pants Designs package I got a couple weeks ago with these new Collections. In this layout I used Memories Captured and the Wonderful Day Collection. I've also used the new Cork Labels. These are so much fun to use and look great on layouts.. they give so much dimension!! I love them!!!  I can't wait to get the kit out and make something else with it..:)

Summer is here!

 Hey everyone!

I hope you all had a fabulous week.
I had my class at This and Thank on Wednesday and this card I'm posting today is going to be my card for July's class. This image is called Summer. I just love the dark richness of this
Fancy Pants Designs Down by the Shore collection.

 I wanted to show the ladies in my class how to deepen and increase creases. I think this mage is perfect for starters with this technique. I hope they like it.

If you're in the area you should join us. The information is in my sidebar!
Well I'm working tonight and tomorrow night. I'm off Sunday.. YAY! :)

Have a great weekend all!
