Scrappin' the Details

At the beach with {Fancy Pants}

Hi, everyone!

Yesterday, I had a new page on the Fancy Pants Blog. Take a peek here for the entire page.

The focus were on the Fancy Pants Summer Soul rubons, and here I tried something I have not done in the past. It is pretty simple. All I did was embossed over the rubons. I thought this was pretty cool, and loved that the rubon stayed intact even when sent through my Cuttlebug.
Have a great day! I have a field trip planned.....to Costco(: 

Motherhood Mini Album {My Mind's Eye}

Happy Wednesday!

I am short on time today, but wanted to quickly post photos of a mini album I created with Follow Your Heart by My Mind's Eye. For a bit more detail on my thought process, you can check out the post here on the My Mind's Eye blog.

Thanks for stopping by today, and if you have any questions, I would love to answer them!

Enjoy your day! 

Child's Play {Fancy Pants}

Hi, friends!

Today, I have a few Fancy Pants projects to share with you. All of he following projects used my favorite collection from Fancy Pants, Childish Things.

First, is a scrapbook page I created of my Miss Macie. Look at how small she looks in the photos! These were taken at Roman's Birthday party, and she loved the ball pit. She did not want to leave, and was so content playing.

Child's Play 

This collection is full of fun, and whimsical patterns. I really love the primary colors on the kraft background. Seriously in love with this collection, and need to restock my stash soon.(;
Details: 

Now, if you follow my blog, you probably know I love my embossing folders! On the brown paper, I embossed it on the wrong side. However, after laying it down onto my page, I was okay with it, "as is." Sometimes, mistakes turn out to be fun mistakes. The word play is from one of the journaling tags from this paper, and I used the letter stickers from the same collection on top. How beautiful is that blue button? My favorite buttons are Fancy Pants, and this primary package is one that I will be so sad to see depleted. 

Another journaling tag holding my date, and a cute chipboard horse to add a fun detail. In the corner you can also see a bit of the star rubons I used from the Childish Things Rub ons package.

With my scraps, I usually tend to throw them away. Yes, I did just write that. I simply do not have the space, or the time for another filing system. So, ususally after a project, my scraps are thrown away. This time I took this opportunity to create two cards:
Smile {Card}

I started in a whole other direction with this card, but love the simple end result. The "twinkle twinkle little star" strip from the music paper, inspired the card. Simple, but so sweet!
Believe in fairytales {card}

How adorable is the prince, and princess? If you have not purchased this collection, I think it should be on your list(; I love this card, too. Every time I look at it, I feel like it was meant as a card for Gabi. Not sure why, but it will be in a safe place until that time presents itself. A Princess cannot have a crown without a bit of glitter. So, I ran the journaling card through my Xyron, and then dusted Diamond Dust all over the top. I have not pulled out my glitter in awhile! I hope you enjoyed my projects, and Two Peas has the entire collection in stock. You can find it here.

Also, here is a peek at an upcoming mini I have to share with you. Hopefully, I will not be in trouble for showing just a small peek(;

I will do my best to share it in the morning, but I am heading to the Scrapbook Expo tomorrow with friends. Now, I am not sure why I am going. What else could I possibly need?? (:

Have a great night!

Mother's Day Card & Glassine Bag {Duetica}

Hi, everyone!

It is a rainy, and damp, today. A perfect day to stay inside, and catch up on the many to do's that need attention today. With Mother's Day right around the corner, thought this was the perfect opportunity to be ahead this year on my gift. I created the following card, and sweet bag for my Mother. It may even reach her prior to the acutal day!


This card uses the Duetica font, Woodwynds! A favorite of mine, and a perfect fit for the new  collection, Sweet Afternoon by Teresa Collins. I love anything pink, and it looks so soft with the touches of grey.

Here is the detail of my simple sentiment: Happy Mother's Day. I think this helps to get my message across to my fabulous Mom. I miss her so much, and wish I lived close to her.{Sigh}

A Mother's Day Card needs a pretty bag to house a gift certificate, and maybe a chocolate, or too.

This bag also uses the Duetica Woodwynd's font for my sentiment along the bottom. I also typed a single letter to create a monogram. My mom's name is Mary, and thought this gave it a more formal touch.

Here is detail of the sentiment I typed used Woodwynds. I love all the curls, and twist. Perfect to enhance the fun party garland along the bottom of the bag. What I love most about Duetica, is that they give you so many different options for each letter than the traditional font!

So, if you have not stopped by the Duetica website, take a peek at all the fonts they have to offer! You have endless creative options from gorgeous fonts to choose from! 

Thanks for visiting today! Have a great day! 

Make & Take Monday {Timeless Treasures}

Here is a peek at tomorrow's Make & Take at Timeless Treasures:

This card uses an older collection by Bella Blvd., Estate Sale. I am in love with the text paper called, Linens.
Have a Happy Monday! 

P.S. Handle With Care {Mini Album}

P.S. Handle with Care

I really love how this little book turned out, and will share a few pages in another post. I have been working on assignments today, but now it is time to pick up the kiddos from school.

I do have another mini I am also teaching in May, but will share it next week. I had a few minor problems(;

Time for me to head over to school! Have a fabulous day, and I will be back with class details soon. 

Sneak Peek of Upcoming Class {Timeless Treasures}

Happy Friday! I am so happy it is here! We have experienced a busy week! We were a bit overscheduled in all areas, but thankfully, I see some downtime!
Well, not for me anyway(; I am busy today wrapping a couple of assignments, and finishing upcoming mini albums.

I do have a sneak peek of an upcoming class at Timeless. It is an inspiration shadowbox that has been on my to do list for awhile. I love the new collection Follow Your Heart by My Mind's Eye. It was perfect for what I envisoned. If you live in Orange County, be sure to stop over at Timeless this Sunday, April 22 from 2PM-4PM. All of the instructors will be previewing their upcoming classes, and I for one cannot wait to see what they came up with!

Peek of Celebrate Shadowbox
 

I usually share my entire class projects here on my blog. However, this time, I will wait a couple of months before showing the entire box. If you stop by Timeless, you can definitely see it there(;

Have a great day,and I will share time, and cost details, once my other classes are designed. Wish me luck! Time is a ticking.......

Enjoy your weekend my friends!
