Oooh baby!

When the Homespun Easter collection from Moxxie arrived in the mail I immediately had a vision in my mind of the layout I wanted to do.  Well, it didn't come out exactly as I planned, but it's pretty close, and I love this collection.  It's very "folksy" (is that a word?) and a little "country" at the same time, so when I saw the new Tim Holtz Kraft Core Seasonal paper I knew I had a perfect match!  The flowers I created using twine and a button (just put a 3-D Zot on the back of the button and go back and forth with the twine creating loops (as you come back across the Zot, stick the twine down)).  It was super easy and I just love the look.  

Enjoy!

Winter won't you please go away!

I've always lived in the midwest so I know snow and cold.  Cold so cold that your nostrils freeze together and snow up to the rooftop of our house.  So while I'm normally excited about winter, this year it just seems like it will never leave.  So rather than fight it, I decided to celebrate it with some fun winter photos.  This layout was created using Moxxie's new Winterland collection.  It features four, double-sided papers along with coordinating stickers and punch outs.  The colors are deep and the patterns are fun!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

If you're lucky enough to be Irish, then you're lucky enough!  I just love that saying and it applies to so many things.  A while back my sister adapted that saying for a layout of her brother-in-law who had just become a new grandpa (If you're lucky enough to be a Grandpa, then you're lucky enough).  It was perfect, but I digress!

St. Patrick's Day is always a festive time for our family.  We traditionally have a party with our closest friends and family and this year is no exception.  I always enjoy making the invitations because, as you'll see, it's not just about the green this year.  Reminisce incorporated black and hot pink into their collection while Moxxie incorporated gold and orange.  Here's what I came up with:










Did I mention I made the cards using scraps from past year's collections?  Well, I did, but I scrapped some of the past year's parties using some newer collections.  Here are a couple layouts using Reminisce's new Shamrock collection:

Slainte!
