I have a layout to share today. I started this, ah, over a week ago, shortly after I decided on my one little word. I used this page from a recent Anthropologie catalog as inspiration for the layout, mainly the colors on the rug. And then I ended up actually creating a “rug”. I played…
Last night, as I was putting the final touches on the scrapbook page you see here, I got a call from downstairs to go come and see something in our bathroom. I’m thinking, “What is there to see in the bathroom that would be better than finishing this layout?” Our little man was 8 in…
Today, I’m back with a quick tutorial for this easy paper garland. This addition to my Gleaming Teal and Gold Christmas decor provided the shine and drape I was looking for on my tree and garland, but this craft would be great for any festive occasion. How about draping this around your house for New Year’s or above…
I’m taking a little break from my regularly scheduled Menu Plan Monday this week to participate in the Blogland tour. The tour is designed to introduce you to new fantastic bloggers around blogland and learn what drives them creatively. I was invited to participate from Amy at Atta Girl Says. Beyond being savvy furniture painter,…
So I have lots of good reasons for not being here for quite some time. I had mentioned I’d be stepping away for a short time to be with my family for our son’s high school graduation. I had intended to write at least one more post before signing off, but I accidentally deleted several…
Happy Summer everybody! I’m sharing a totally fun, make you smile page today. The challenge from GCD Studios this time, was to create a page inspired by this photo. Source I knew I was totally up for this challenge because I had a silly photo of my daughter and her friends looking very much like…
I finally have another scrappy post to share today. 🙂 I was ready to take down the Christmas card display this weekend and decided to make another scrapbook page out of the photo cards. I have been hanging them on the laundry room door for a couple years. It’s a door most often kept closed…
Ok, I have to admit. I love snow pages! Snowflakes are just as much fun on scrapbook pages as they are in real life. Maybe it’s because I grew up in Louisiana and lived there exclusively until 4 years ago when we were transferred to the midwest. Obviously, I have been snowflake deprived for most…
Today I’m happy to share my June technique post for GCD Studios which highlights the use of inspiration found on the internet to spark your creative energy. I recently have become a big fan of Pinterest. Soon after I joined, I found this fun and totally hip image in a home decor pin. I originally…
I am very happy to share some Project Life pages with you today, as well as a great little tool I made to help me get caught up. First, here are the pages. Week of Jan 24-30. I really do like mixing the “Design B” into my Project Life. I think it keeps it interesting. …
We had such a beautiful White Christmas here in Missouri. It snowed, off and on, all day on Christmas Eve. All total I think we got about 5 inches or so. It was so picture perfect. Emily went sledding with her friend in the afternoon and then we, my Dad and I, helped her build…
Today I’m going to show you how to make faux wooden accents from chipboard. The look of wood is perfect for adding warmth to all your fall pages. I love how it feels like I was able to bring the woods right onto my page. The basic supplies needed for this project: Small Frames Chip…
