My Joy

I remember when I would really struggle with yellow and rip my LO's apart trying to get them to 'look right'. Now yellow is one of my 'goto' colors. I hoard my papers (such as this one which finally came out of hiding) and canNOT seem to get enough yellow alphas. I LOVE yellow now (Yes Tracey, you were right on the yellow but don't think I will be changing my mind about purple in the near future ;) ) After I was done this LO, it still felt a little too monochrome, so I broke out some aqua bling & felt to give it a bit of zing.

You'll notice, that I scrapped the same pic as you see on the right (with the same caption). I just LOVE how that looks-I think Kristine may have added this title when she worked on my blog last month-so I am going to credit her for the title as well. It TOTALLY sums up how I feel about my Little Man.

Supplies: Papers-Sassafras, Cardstock-Bazzill, Alphas & Stickers-Sassafras,
Bling-Kaiser Crafts, Buttons & trim-unknown.



Thanks for popping by!

BTW.. How many have been following the CHA-W peeks? What are you excited for??
I'd LOVE to hear what you think (and am curious if I missed any 'must haves' ;) )

MLS Sketch Challenge


Happy Thursday!
If you are in the North East today, I hope you are somewhere safe, warm and dry.

Today, I want to share a sketch challenge being hosted by My Little Shoebox  (Sketch designed by the talented Aphra Bolyer :) )



This is my take on the sketch using the mid-release, Holly Jolly.

You still have sometime to play along!!
If you are going to CHA, make sure to drop by to see the MLS girls at booth 2758!!!

Thanks for peeking in on me!

Perfect Harmony

Happy Wednesday, Peeps!

I want to share 2 projects I did recently with the Harmony line from My Little Shoebox.
Let's just say that when I saw the orange and blue combo in this line, I was immediately thrilled-
in fact, I think I have used every orange die cut from this line (and I got MORE than my fair share in my DT kit-this company is SO GENEROUS!!) . :)





This bag was a labor of love, I admit. The quilted effect was made by circle punching the pattern paper and folding the circles into squares. I then adhered the circles (centers only) onto a piece of cardstock-taking special care not to get glue near the edges of the squares (I knew I would be stitching it after the fact and if you have never done this, glue plus a sewing machine needle do NOT get along very well). I then pop dotted my cute little Lady and some accent flowers.

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Birthday!



It's so hard to believe that I spent 32 years of my life without this special, sweet, kind, smart, funny Little Man. I am so glad you picked me to be your Momma, Little Angel.
Happy 6th Birthday, C-Man!!

Love Mom & Dad.
