Dixie Pieces March Kit- Tangerine Sea

Lately I've been on a big Authentique Papers kick, so when I received my March Kit from Dixie Pieces, to say I was thrilled would be an UNDERSTATEMENT. The new Tangerine Seas kit from Dixie Pieces is filled with the Authentique Papers Gathering collection as well as some beautiful papers from Echo Park.

One of the things I'm loving the most about Dixie Pieces kits are the fibers that are included. This month there is Pink Paislee Mistables trim, lush brown corduroy, and super sweet twine. First off I wanted to share with you a few cards I created using this months Dixie Pieces kit followed by a few layouts.

Next I created these layouts and I'm loving how they turned out. I do so enjoy distressed edges hehe.

So check out Dixie Pieces and grab yourself one of the March Tangerine Seas Kits. They are chalk full of goodness and this month even has a great script stamp. Until next time

Dixie Pieces February Kit- Coloring Book

I love kits!!! The fact that someone else takes the time to make them and select matching goodies is amazing. Especially when you receive a kit that BLOWS YOUR MIND!!!!

Hey everyone, I'm here today to share with you the new Dixie Pieces February kit called Coloring Book. This kit is filled with wonderful black and white prints and a handful of color to give it that extra POP.

I'm absolutely loving the papers from Canvas Corp and Doodlebug Designs. These are such great quality papers and are beautiful to alter with color. Here are my projects I created for this months kit.

This first layout was colored using Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists and I love that it went from black and white to rainbow. I created the banner from the felt that is included in the Coloring Book Kit.

Next a Black a white layout with a pop of color. I think this is a favorite photo of our daughter. Balloons are really fun aren't they???

How about a little card too? I used some Worn Lipstick distress ink to give this one a little color.

Now I have one more layout as well, but I've got that posted on Dawn's Blog today. She was so sweet to ask me to Guest Blog a while back and I am honored that she asked. It is a little personal, but I speak up about my depression. So make me smile and head over there to see it and leave some love.

I'm absolutely LOVIN the large piece of red burlap that is in this kit. So many options. Today I'm going to share with you a few of the layouts I created for the Be Mine Kit this month. These two are close to my heart, for they are filled with so much love and I hope that you love them just as much as I do.

When I opened this one up, I started thinking of projects right away and the first one I finished was this 2 pager. I added some Glimmer Mist in Tiger Lily and Tattered Leather. I also used a few stamps as well. To create some dimension I used Helmar Liquid Scrap Dots. Man I love this stuff

Next a layout of our two munchkins painting. The colors were just perfect for this photo.

Lastly (for today because I still have more projects using this Dixie Pieces Kit to share) a sweet card using some of the buttons from the kit. I created the bow with patterned paper and love how it turned out.

Be the Change

I Love great sentiments and quotes. Sometimes a few words can make such an impact!

Hi everyone, I'm here today to share with you a card I created using one of the prettiest quotes out there. An I Brake for Stamps stamp called  Be the Change. This has been one of my favorite quotes for years and I absolutely love that I've finally found it. I Brake for Stamps has some of the prettiest quotes and sentiments out there, so make sure you take a look.

For this card I first stamped the sentiment with Versamark and used Sparkle N Sprinkle Copper Kettle embossing powder. I then used Distress Inks in Spiced Marmalade, Broken China, and Dusty Concord  to create the background colors. I added a little water so they would blend a bit too. All of the products on this card are from the November Kit available soon from Dixie Pieces.

Here is the end result. I hope that you like it and would love to hear your comments.

A simple card that really showcases the beauty of a simple sentiment. Thank you so much for stopping by today. Make sure you take a look at the specials available right now at the I Brake for Stamps shop. There are so many stunning flower stamps that are on sale. When you purchase, save a little cash by using my Design Team code SAVE10ERIKA. You will save yourself 10% on your purchase. Who doesn't like saving a little money right???

I hope that you all have had a great weekend. Until next time
