Our Wonderful Craft Room

Recently, in the throes of major pregnancy nesting, I took it upon myself to completely rearrange several rooms in the house, the main goal being to convert our play room into more of a craft room. I had this small desk that I would scrap at in there, and the kids were always wanting to sit with me and do crafty stuff, but there wasn't enough room.

I moved out the desk and moved in a big table and made the craft side of things more kid-focused. We absolutely love it! Our craft table gets lots of use, every day, and I'm so glad we did this.
I used the Five Foot Two (sold out!!) kit and the Eyes of Blue kit (there's a few left!) to create this layout. I did lots of layering in this little section- I cut out roses from one of the 4x4" mini Jenni Bowlin scrapbook papers and layered it underneath a Maya Road sheer. Then a Collage Press die cut, some October Afternoon labels, and finally on top, some Jenni Bowlin alpha stickers! A Sassafrass brad & Making Memories mini alphas finish off the title.

My Best Friend

Well I don't know about you - but I LOVE me some Cosmo Cricket -- and this line from Noel's Five Foot Two & Eyes of Blue kit were begging me to play with them- haha!

The flower on the front was made by taking one of the chipnoard pages off the Creative Imaginations flower book from Eyes of Blue and then covering it in pattern paper.

The ribbon is from my own stash.

Thanks for looking! Have a wonderful day!

More Eyes of Blue

I've been playing with my Eyes of Blue kit some more and I have a couple more layouts to share with you. :)

Gotta Love Ebay - Everything is from the kit. I also used Eucalyptus Shimmerz Spritz on the background.

We had this Sesame Street Lunch Box toy when my kids were toddlers. They loved it! As the years went by, pieces got lost and we ended up throwing it away. Well, Maryn just couldn't stop talking about how much she loved that toy and how sad she was that it was gone. Thankfully, husband finally found her one on Ebay. You should have seen the look of PURE JOY on Maryn's face when that box arrived on our doorstep! :)



This second page is a page I did of my nephew, Raymond. I love these pictures I snapped of him at the park because they totally show the range of his personality. :) One minute he's soft and sweet and wants to hug you . . . the next he's full of spunk and a mischievous plan. LOL! Typical boy, right?!!



Thanks for coming by!

Summer Traditions Challenge

This is for the challenge that is currently going on. be sure and check it out if you haven't already


The challenge was summer traditions. I decided to take a different approach besides our usual swimming like fish. When the weather starts warming up we always plant new pretty colorful flowers around our trees in the front yard. This is the only color to my landscaping because i am a greenery type of gal. Less work :)

I used 9x12 canvas board (otherwise known also as art board), the kit and some ribbon. VOILA! 2 paintings for Melana's room that she is so excited to get.

See you next week!

All American Boys

Happy weekend everyone! Hope you are all having an enjoyable day. Here's the one and only LO I had time to do this last week. I was inspired by sketch #23 over on 52 sketches. This one is done primarily with the "Eyes of Blue" kit. I still have several left, and they are a great value! I added in a few stickers from OA, letters from Collage Press, some brads, and a Collage Press tag.
:) :)

This week's challenge over at Noel's challenge blog, is to create a LO based on a summertime tradition. In my house summer=swings. Both my kids love to swing, sometimes for hours...... I grabbed my camera and took some pics of Kyle with his big ole' bare feet stickin' out! I used Noel's Five Foot Two kit as well as some 7 Gypsies ephemera, which can be found HERE in Noel's store.

Have a great weekend!!

Summer Time!

Hello!
I am totally excited to be joining you guys this month! Eeeek!! I absolutely love traditions. One of our traditions from when I was a kid was summer vacations at Disneyland. My father took us every summer and boy did I enjoy every minute of it!
We took Ethan for the first time last year. I think I was more excited than he was. ha! We had such a blast! He loved Toon Town...but what kid doesn't?
I created my own journaling envelope using that gorgeous pattern paper. I sewed that bad boy together and glued it on my page.

I also created a FREE download for this kit. You use these for your personal use only. Have fun creating!!

Thanks for stopping by!!

xoxo,
