Today's post is sharing a sneak Peek of my 2nd Sweet Sentiments Mini album I am currently working on. Absolutely LOVE this paper by Graphic45, and had to make my family one. I did give the other one to my MOM and she LOVED it!!! I did add tons of random photo's to it for her to enjoy.
This is one of the pages I created for my mini, it is interactive and will hold 10 PHOTO'S. Love when my pages can hold tons of photo's.
I did also create this for todays SCS Free 4 all challenge, to use something that flies on your card or project. I used the butterfly and my sweet image!
Flowers were made using May Arts Silk and I do have a video on that HERE
The die cut corners were cut using the Beautiful CottageCutz dies. LOVE using these super sweet dies,and love these corners!!!
Cant wait to finish this mini and do a video to share :)
I cant tell you how excited and Honored I am to have been chosen among all the participants to participate in the 2nd Round (Final) for May Arts Ribbon Design Team Call. I absolutely LOVE all of May Arts ribbons,laces,trims and so on, and I would LOVE to be a Prima Ribbonista. As many of you know, I absolutely LOVE working with Ribbons,laces,and trims, and use LOTS on all my projects, its one of my favorite embellishments when it comes to crafting anything!
Today's Project is Decorated Lantern
Using May Arts Ribbon to create all my flowers for this floral piece./VIDEO Tutorial at the end of my post
For my project I decided to go a little bit outside of the box. I wanted to show that I can indeed work with ribbon, and create some beautiful flowers using beautiful ribbons, and trims from May Arts Ribbon. For the last year I have been on a floral decorating kick, and thought how fun would it be to make my flowers for the floral arrangement, instead of buying them. FUN!!!!This lantern was designed for my Kitchen. I also will be using more of the Daisy Flowers in a Mini Album, as I thought these would be perfect in one as well.
May Arts Ribbons Used: all are linked to the May Arts Ribbon Store
Hello everyone, I am super excited to share another Graphic45 Mini Album I created using the Raining Cats & Dogs Collection. Absolutely LOVE this collection, and love the way my mini album turned out.
I only had 7 sheets of the Graphic45 Raining Cats & Dogs to use, as I wasnt fast enough at checkout online to get the paper pads, they went out of stock super fast. So I ended up finding some sheets at a craft store up north and bought a few. I did however get the die cut sheets to go with this collection and used those throughout my mini. Most of the flowers were made by me using seam binding, other flowers are from RRR.
All the cat brads were from my stash, I have had them for years, and they finally came into use....hehehehe, also used some animal packs of buttons for the mice,bones, dog house, cats, paws and so on.
Ribbons are from my stash, and pom pom mini is from May Arts, other random ribbons and some of the seam binding is from Really Reasonable Ribbon.
There are 6 interactive pages inside this mini album.
I also used some CottageCutz Corner dies for these 2 pages. LOVE these Corner dies, they are absolutely beautiful!!

Today I'm sharing the 2 Pennie Pockets I had designed for May Arts Challenge!
We were to send in an Idea, and I sent in Pennie Pockets, then May Arts would decide if we could participate in the Challenge(20 were picked), and you would get to work with their Beautiful Ribbons,and Trims. I really had fun making these!!!
Our Inspiration was a photo, and you can find that here!!
The flowers are all handmade by me, and on the Pennie Pocket that is standing, the leaves were distressed to be a little darker. Also used the string to make the center for my half rosette. The string was also used to make a flower behind the rose.
On the other Pennie Pocket I made a ruched flower with the ribbon, and added a dew drop to the center.
Hello everyone, I'm going to keep my post short and SWEEET today.
As my Title states May Arts had a July Silk Indulgence Challenge and my dress form is in it, along with 24 other beautiful projects. We were to use 4 silks on our project, and I chose to make all handmade silk ruched flowers, along with ruffled edge skirt. I also curled the ribbon, and well you can see all the details in my pictures :)
May Arts will be giving away 2 spools to 1 lucky person who leaves a comment with the project they like the best. Now as I would LOVE for you to LIKE my project, you really can pick whoever you choose. Have fun!!! And GOOD LUCK
Hello everyone today I'm sharing CottageCutz Baby Girl Elephant with you! She is super SWEET and CUTE!! I really had a ton of fun putting her together. I also added a video below for you if you would like to see how I colored her.
Of course I LOVE PINK! so I just had to do this one in that color. Next one will be BLUE!! heheheheh
I used several CottageCutz Dies, some are from the Baby Release and others are from the CottageCutzSpring Blossom Release.
I layered the main image using the Lace Flower Doily and Large Baby Doily. I also added one of the Spring Tags to this layer as well. The GIRL writing is from the CottageCutz Spring Blossom Alphabet.
I also just had to add one of the CottageCutz Mini Diaper Pins, they are soooo CUTE!!!

Thank you all for looking and sorry ive been MIA for awhile now.
Most of my friends know that my Grandma passed away 2 weeks ago, and she lived in California. I made 2 trips out there in less than a month. This was a really hard time for our family, but we know she is now back home where she belongs, and no more suffering!!! My Grandma was super special person, not only was she my Grandma, she was a mother, a friend, and someone who inspired me to no end. She was beautiful inside and out, and Im not just saying that because she was my grandma, its true, everyone that met her fell in LOVE with her! Grandma I LOVE you and Miss you and one day we will meet again!
Thank you all for your support and prayers, they mean the world to me!!!
