Foxy Critters on Artistry

You saw the cat and dog images I cut from the Artistry cartridge the other day. Besides just family pets, you can also find some of those cute critters from the wild. Like this adorable fox I'm sharing with you today using the sketch on Freshly Made Sketches. The tree stump is also cut from this cartridge and goes perfectly with Mr. Foxy!

The Artistry collection is available now to order. In just a few days you will be able to order all the new products in the 2015-2016 Annual Inspirations Book! Don't miss out on the deals ending this month though and those items retiring from the 2014-2015 Annual Book & Seasonal Expressions.

I'll see you on the first with all new items and specials!! ;)

Blossom Delight

Earlier this week I shared a layout I did using the new Blossom papers and complements. These products showcased my pictures of the tulip festival beautifully. I had a few more favorite pictures from the same event that I wanted to scrapbook. I carried over the same papers and embellishments, but this layout looks so different from the first. Check it out!

 In this layout I wanted to leave a cleaner, brighter base to allow the photo's to really be the center of attention. I pulled in some orange B&T papers, a fun section of zip strip, and a few more complements that were remaining on the sheet.

On this page I used a piece of the new Carnival Washi tape to add a sentiment to the left of the picture. Not to leave too much white space I created a stamped cluster of Shower Flowers in the upper corner and then lower corner on the adjacent page.

Just a few colorful sequins and a metal butterfly finish the pages wonderfully. I absolutely love this picture of my mom, she looks so beautiful. I also treasure this picture of my "little" brother and I. We aren't able to spend time together often, so I truly cherish these moments! {A great big thank you to my husband for thinking to snap our picture together!}

You can order all of these brand new products from the Seasonal Expressions 2 book online here.
Time is running out to get your Deal of the Day and the awesome Typed Note Stamp of the Month!
In just 6 days there will no longer be a deal so don't delay!

Blossom Gardens Layout

I recently scrapbooked some pictures from our Spring Break travels. We had the opportunity to visit some beautiful gardens during their tulip festival. The Blossom papers and complements were the perfect choice for my photographs. With these gorgeous products I was able to create a couple layouts quickly and easily.

Here is the first layout I created. I will share the other pages with you later.

Time for Tea!

I hope you have been enjoying my creations using the Treats of Friendship stamp set. I shared some coffee cards and some delicious donut cards. Today I will share the final image and sentiment on this stamp set. It is a sweet little tea cup with a heart-warming sentiment.

This first card uses just a bit of the new Blossom paper and I incorporated the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches this week. Simple, clean and cute!

Here is a card using more of the blossom paper and I used the treat tag image to actually create a tag for a gift.

You can purchase this stamp set online here. You will also be qualified to get the Deal of the Day.
Speaking of deal....I received my $50 grab bag yesterday. I will show you what I got, but first I have to share it with my Crate Card Club ladies tomorrow then I'll give you a look at all the fun stuff!

I Like These Cards a Latte!

Treats of Friendship is one of the newest stamp sets found in the Seasonal Expressions 2 book. (page 15) It features images of a coffee cup, donut and tea cup. I love the quirky sayings and am finding all sorts of possibilities to use it!

Today I'm sharing cards using the coffee cup image, I like it a latte! I will share cards with the other images later this week!

This first one is my favorite! I used the Blossom papers, some of the new Boardwalk Washi tape for the sentiment, and some Glacier thick twine as a "cozy" for the cup. Soooooo cute!!!

I love the thick chocolate grosgrain ribbon on this card. It makes me think it might be a mocha latte!

Some more Glacier twine, Carnival Washi tape this time and don't you just love the drip of coffee on the rim of the cup. This is from the Junebug Puffies in the SE1 book.

Finally, coffee comes best in pairs! I was using up some older Year>>Noted papers and loved the softer colors with the cups. Just colored in the coffee bands and added a bit of Washi tape.

 

 

The Treats of Friendship stamp can be your one regular priced item in your cart that would then qualify you for the Deal of the Day! (C1616) $13.95

Happy Easter

This year I was inspired by the Blossom papers and the new MyAcrylix stamp set Shower Flowers (C1612) to create some Spring/Easter cards. I love the color scheme and the whimsical design of the flowers.

Here are a couple designs I did~

I did a few of these cards.  The pattern comes from the Jackson cardmaking workshop.  I randomly stamped the flowers in the corner and cut out a few extra ones to stand out.  A simple sentiment and some sequins finishes this card beautifully!

I did the same idea on this taller card and just simply added a bunny. The template for this card comes from the Wishes how-to book.

These cards are blooming with happiness, I hope they bring a smile to the faces of the recipients!

Happy Easter everyone, thanks for hopping by!!

It's All New!!

This month is super exciting! I'm a little overwhelmed right now composing this post, hoping that I don't leave out any important information. The month of April kicks off a brand new Seasonal Expressions 2 catalog, an adorable Stamp of the Month and a Big Deal everyday!

The first exciting news is that Seasonal Expressions 2 is live today {no fooling}! This book will ignite your summer creativity with some lovely new paper collections and fun embellishments throughout. I'm already in love with the two new paper kits and was blown away to see some of my own photographs featured in some artwork. {I will share that with you later this month!}

Here is the Blossom papers with some coordinating Complements, Coral Reef Sequins, Carnival Washi tape and thick Glacier Twine. This collection is a gorgeous balance of Spring and Summer.

The Jackson paper has awesome prints in mellow earth tones. These papers are perfect for your outdoor adventures this summer or anytime. The Complements have a wide variety of images and phrases. There is more Washi tape that coordinates with the collection called Boardwalk. The sequins is called Oceanside and the Jackson Assortment includes 5 metal-rimmed, enamel filled pieces that are adorable.
