Scraptacular April Kit - my projects!!

The kit will be revealed tomorrow, but in the meantime - here is what I made with it! I thought the pp was absolutely adorable, but honestly, it was a bit of a step out of my comfort zone. I'm must more used to doing "pretty" than "cute". However, I'm so glad I got to try something new and I really like the results! More close-ups are in my gallery at 2Peas.

Be sure to check in tomorrow for the full kit reveal AND for the winner of my RAK (MM Vintage Findings Vellum Envelopes)

OMG!! Webster's Pages, I HEART you!!

Oh my gosh, I don't even know what to say! My LO "It's a Beautiful Life" is a FEATURED PHOTO on Webster's Pages! Check it out - HERE - it's at the top of the page under "Featured Photos"!!! Wow, I'm totally speechless, since I am so madly in love with all things Webster's Pages. Yay!!

DD lost her tooth!

My 5-year-old baby lost her tooth this morning! And she'll be gaining $2 from the tooth fairy tonight. You should have seen her - she was so excited. I'm not sure if she was more excited to be a big girl without a tooth or that she'd be getting some money. LOL

Everything Scrapp'n Blog Hop! And more LO's :)

Welcome to another blog hop, brought to you by Everything Scrapp'n! This is, of course, the wonderful store I had the honor of being GDT for the month of March. I wanted to share two more LO's I created - the last of my work as their guest. If you're just joining me, you can start the hop at the Everything Scrapp'n Blog.

First up is "It's a Beautiful Life", created for Teresa's challenge. As per the challenge, I used Webster's Pages, lots of blues and golds, and tons of flowers. The big gold flower is handmade by yours truly :) The other flowers are actually ones I took off regular silk flower branches you would use for home decorating - I love getting my flowers for scrap booking this way - there's lots of variety to make it fun, and it's far more economical. I also sprayed some with gold mist. I thought the pp was perfect to do a pic from my wedding.

Supply List:
PP - Webster's Pages, Postcards from Paris - la boutique de jardin and Romantique chic; Stickles Gold; Double Flourishes Pearl - Soft Blue; and ZVA Taupe Flourishes (sold out)

My favorite product here? The stunning Webster's Pages pp of course! What could be better??


My 2nd LO is called "Anticipation", using more of the Bellezo MME line, and showcasing another pregnancy pic.

Supply List:
Bellezo - Belleza Paper; Bellezo - Papillion Paper; Bellezo - Wild Blossom Paper; Frame - Swirl/Jet; http://everythingscrappn.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=23&products_id=358; Dots All Around Stencil (sold out)

My favorite product here? I loved the Black Diamond Stickles - I used it to make the little black dots on the circle to emphasize it. The LO wouldn't be the same without the stickles! I love how easy and economical it is to use stickles to add bling to your LO.

I also loved the Jet Swirl Frame by ZVA - all their stuff is so gorgeous!! And the wonderful thing is, I always use only parts of all the sirls for my LO's, so they last for many different pages. Here for example, I only used half, so I still have 2 more swirls left.



Ok, now hop on over to Suz's blog to see her wonderful creations.

My LO is on Cosmo Cricket's Blog!

Oh wow, this is so exciting! Cosmo Cricket's DT surfed the web and each member picked out their favorite LO, and mine got picked as well, by Gudrun! This is so exciting, especially since I'm such a fan of Cosmo Cricket! Check it out HERE. Thank you Gudrun and CC!

My kit is here!

How exciting! I had a little hint of what would be in it, but it was fun opening a box and not really knowing! Lol. Kind of like when you're still little enough to get surprise gifts. I have an inkling everyone's going to really love this one! It's by a Major manufacturer and it's one of their latest CUTE releases! That's all I'm going to say for now. I hope you'll stop by later for the reveal, April 1st.
