Guest Designer - Trendy Twine!

Hi Everyone TGIF! I am so excited to be the Trendy Twine Guest Designer for the month of May. 

I just love using Trendy Twine on my projects! Tomorrow is National Scrapbook Day so I have a layout to share with you today.

I used the Krazy for Kraft Trendy Twine to accent my layout.

Stop on over to the Trendy Twine Blog to see the details on my project & leave me some love over there!

Trendy Twine has a brand new store that looks awesome. Make sure you like them on FB. They have so much more than just twine!

I Love You Mom Layout

Hi there! I have a Mom's Day Layout to share with you today. I created this for an SVG Cuts Design Team Project. It features several of the recent kits and collections.

The titles are from Smooth and Swirly Word Art SVG Collection.

Lace cut around the photo and heart border are from Battenburg Lace and Crochet Trim SVG Collection. The cute little flowers are from Mom's Garden Gifts SVG Kit.

The screen pattern is from High Skies SVG Kit.

Stop on over to the SVG Cuts Blog to check out all the details on my layout.

While you are there check out the Mom’s Day Cards in the Cards for Moms SVG Kit. Mom’s Day is right around the corner!

Stop back on Friday - I'm the May Guest Designer at Trendy Twine!

Thanks!

It has been quite some time since I've blogged! Life has been very busy for me - not only at work but at home. Seems like I'm always on the go between cub scouts, karate, soccer and end of the school year activities!

I have a cute little Thanks Card to share with you today. I made this for my coworker to thank her.

I just love this card file. It is from Playful Parlour SVG Kit 

When Mary designed it she used a vellum in the window areas but I like using a patterned paper in there. 

I used the THANKS letters from the Everyday Cards SVG Kit. Here is a look at the card opened up.

BTW....Sandra Oakley won my Easter Blog Hop Giveaway! Congrats Sandra ~ Here is a link to her blog - Eclectic Diversions.

Head on over to SVG Cuts and enter the "Pin It To Win It! Spring Giveaway" - hurry up ends 4/24!

The water can is from SVG Cuts ~ Mother’s Garden SVG Kit.

I am on their design team  and I cut their files on my Sizzix eclips.

Butterfly Card LLS Week 2

Happy First Day of Spring! For this week‘s challenge over on the Crafty Swaps and Challenges we had to create a card or layout following a sketch. I decided to make a lever card.

Here’s a look at the sketch:

I used the butterflies from the SVG Cuts ~ High Skies SVG Kit.

The lever card is from SVG Cuts ~ Peony Cottage SVG Kit.

Stop by on Saturday, I'm going to be in an Easter Blog Hop and I have blog candy to share!

SVG Cuts is having a Graphic 45 Giveaway. Stop on over and enter!

High Skies!

I was at an all-day crop today and was so excited when I saw the latest SVG Cuts Kit ~ High Skies. I immediately put my photos away and starting cutting the Hot Air Balloon!

It was so fun and easy to make. I used papers from October Afternoon and Twine is from Trendy Twine.

I used the Scotch glue to assemble the initial inner balloon and used a hot glue gun to add the patterned paper pieces. I used just a dab of hot glue on the balloon to attach the banner and embellished with gems.

Here is the look at some of the other items of the kit (does not include all items) ~ click here if you decide to go pick it up!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Lucky Journal

Happy St Patrick’s Weekend to you! I have a fun Lucky Journal to share with you today. I made this for my friend who signed up for my Craft It Forward post on Facebook way back in January. 

I covered a hardback notebook with paper and cuts are from SVG Cuts ~ Charm and Chance SVG Kit.

I used some wonderful Trendy Twine for this project and I'm going to enter their challenge for the month. 

Here’s the challenge:

Going Green
