So Tough With KaiserCraft

This layout was created with one of Kaiser's new lines...Blae and Ivy.  I love all the colors and really wanted to show how easy a boys layout could be done with what you might think of as girly paper. 

The wood flourish was sprayed with glimmer mist.  There are so many things you can do with the wood flourishes to decorate: paint, glimmer mist, rub ons, paper...really it's limitless.

You know I had to add some pearls...just can't resist those beauties.

Have a great weekend,

Hello Scrapping Cottage

I'm thrilled I was ask to be part of the Scrapping Cottage Design Team.  Talk about adorable dies and stamps...to cute.  You really should check them out and also the rest of the design team....have to say I'm really bias to one of the other designers...My sister Gini.  How cool is that, we are on a design team together.  That's a something we have wanted to do for sooooo long and now it's real. 

Today I created this lovely little circle card using  Pink Peony Flower and Ornate Circle Frame dies and  The Made with Love stamp set.  I adore making handmade flowers and the Peony die was so much fun to work with.

Look forward this coming week for some exciting announcements and also some great new projects.

My First Post with Beary Scrap

Today is my first day as Beary Scrap's new guest designer.  I'm thrilled to see what the next three months are going to bring.

Believe it or not Christmas is right around the corner and now is the time to start those Christmas cards... For this card I used Webster's Pages Waiting for Santa/ Sweet Season 6x6 pad.  I love the way Webster's Pages has such unique graphic pages in a collection but then also have a nice choice of rich patterns, for a perfect  mix. 

Hugs,

What's your Routine?

This is a 12 x 12 layout I created using Webster's Pages.  The challenge was to do a layout with the one word title of "Routine".  My routine is being sure my oldest son gets all his meds twice a day.  So what is your routine everyday?

CottageCutz dies are now available to coordinate with each of My Little Shoebox 6 new collections: Playtime, Pretty Little Things, Trick or Treat, Audrey,Enchanted Garden, Destination as well as their very popular Sew Cute Collection.

Wedding Bells with Charm

Hi Everybody...Hope you all had a great weekend. 

Today I'm sharing with you a card I did for Heartfelt Creations and Creative Charms.  The stamp image is from Heartfelt and it's just beautiful for the Wedding Season that is upon us. 

The vintage brads and pearls are from Creative Charms and I love the look they give any project.  You can custom them to match anything...how cool is that. 

For complete directions for this card be sure to hop on over to Heartfelts Blog and check it out.

KaiserCraft Trinket Box

I don't know if you have ever used one of KasierCrafts Beyond the Page projects or not...but they are wonderful and something you have to give a whirl.  This is a box I created for the Design Team Final entry using The Pink Gelato Paper Collection that was brand new in June. 

The main flower on the top of the box was handmade and the other two flowers are some of Kaiser's yummy coconut flowers.  Of course you know how much I dig pearls...so they adorn my trinket box everywhere...and I love them.

The back of the box really show the crackle finish that I did over the base of the box.  I did the crackle and then rubbed it down with distress inks to age it up a bit.

Had to throw a few more pearls on the sides too!!!!!!

I finished the inside of the trinket box too.  I always feel places like that need to be finished also even if they are just your own little secret and not everyone see it...you do, so make it pretty. 

I've been working on some projects for Kaiser and look forward to sharing more new things with you later in the month.

Have a great week and Happy 4th of July.

Hugs, Lori
