Love Daisies!!

I just love flowers!! And once again Paper and Such has released another amazing flower set this month!!

The set is called "Daisies"!

Just love this set!

It comes with two images, a large daisy bunch and a small daisy bunch, along with five sentiments!! I also used some of my favorite brand paper My Mind's Eye and twine from the Paper and Such store!

I used the small daisy bunch to create the three circles and then used one of the sentiments for the other circle.

Used some of my Creative Inspirations Paint in Sunshine to add shimmer to this butterfly!  I just love Cheery Lynn Designs butterfly dies!!

Have a nice day!

Easter Baskets

With Easter right around the corner I've been working on little gifts and cards like crazy!

The kids had so much fun helping me create these fun and easy little baskets!

They love handing me supplies when I ask for them!  I also really think they liked helping as there was candy around!! ;)  They're smart!

I used the new "Easter Greetings" from My Thoughts Exactly to create these baskets!  Such a wonderful set!

The three baskets together:

How cute are these?!?!  I just love making them!

 "You're Egg-stra special"

The sentiment from the Easter Greetings are actually meant to say "Have an Egg-stra special day", but these stamps are so great, because you can mix annd match them so nicely!  I decided to use the "You're" from the Lovey Puns Animals set along with just the Egg-stra special from the new Easter Grettings set! How clever!! ;)

"Hoppy Easter"

"Some Bunny Loves you"

Another view:

I just LOVE how these turned out!

Have a great day!  Yay, it's Friday!  Lately, that hasn't mattered as I have been off since November, but this was my first week back for the season!  So I've been so tired all week and couldn't wait till the weekend to just be with the kids!

Peeps

Just love the new Easter Greetings set from My Thoughts Exactly!!

For today's post I've created two fun projects using some Peeps!

For this first one, I created fun "Peeps" wrap to go around a package of peeps!  Sure makes it a little more personal and cute!  And not so boring!

Side view:

I used the Peeps stamp to go around the little opening I created.

For this next one, I just create a topper to a peeps package I made myself.

I just used a sandwich bag to put the 5 peeps in and then put this adorable topper above.

Close-up:

I hope you like what I've done today, I sure had a blast making them!

Check out the MTE Blog for some more great inspiration!

Have a nice day!

Hoppy Easter

I have a quick and simple Easter card to share with you tonight!

I used a digital image for this card, something I haven't done in a long time!  It's called "Girl Rabbit In Egg" from The Stamping Boutique.

I combined the image with the fun "Wishing you a Hoppy Easter" sentiment from My Thoughts Exactly!!  I am having so much fun created Easter projects with the new Easter Greetings set!

I think she is so cute!

Have a great day!!

Fun with PAPER

Okay, as many of you alread know, I LOVE using Creative Inspirations Paints to add shimmer to my paper!!

Well, today is NO different!

I sat down the other day and had so much fun creating this piece of paper, and let me tell you it sure shimmers!!

First the paper:

I used some bubble wrap to add some fun interest to the paper!  I just love saving bubble wrap and using it to stamp with the paints!

I also decided to get out my marbles and roll the around on the paper as well!

First, I rolled the marble around in the cover and then dropped it onto my paper.

I then used one of my paint brushes to move it around the paper.

Lastly, I thought it would be fun to use a sandwich bag to add some interest to the paper as well!

Just look at all the shimmer:

I used Sage, Tutu Pink, Mango, Sapphire, Plum, Autumn Wheat, buttercup, Tickled Pink and Spring Green!!

You're probably wondering by now what I used it for...

Well I thought it would be a great piece of paper to use to create a layout of pictures of my little guy from dying Easter eggs last year!

I just love how the paper almost looks like the yummy eggs!!

I didn't want to take away from the paper too much and being it was for my little boy's album I kept this layout pretty simple.

The Egg title was created using my Cricut and the little "painting zone" sentiment is from the newly released "Easter Greetings" set from My Thoughts Exactly! 

The little "to Dye for" sentiment is from this set as well!!

Have a great day!

V-Day 2012

Hello!  I have a Valentine's Day Layout from this year of my little girl, that I thought I would share with you today!

It was so cute, that was the first time we curled her hair!  She was so adorable, but yet look a little older!

Have a wonderful day!

Easter LO

So, I have a layout to share with you today!

I just love My Thoughts Exactly's "Easter Greetings" stamp set, released this month! 

Not only is the set perfect for cards, but layouts as well!!

Kind of a fun and simple layout!  I don't like to over-do his layouts too much as he is a boy and doesn't care for all the girly stuff!! 

"Some Bunny loves you" sentiment

"Basketful of goodies" sentiment

"The thrill of the Hunt" Sentiment

Perfect sentiments for those Easter Layouts don't you think?  They're the perfect size as well!!

Have a nice day!
