Rainbows of Smiles!!!

Hello everyone and Happy Tuesday. Let's see what I can share with you today. Last week, I made a life change and so far, I'm loving it!!! I started getting up at 5:00am with my husband 3 days a week. Why so early? Because I've started swimming again and it feels fantastic. I used to be in the pool 2-3 times a day when I was a little less aged lol. It is good for the soul and my energy is going up YEAH!!!

So I thought I would share with you today a project I created that also felt good to do.

This layout is full of color and I love the "non-white" space. I hope you like it too.

I used a combination of great Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist colors, Jillibean Soup alphas and Maya Road Chipboard pieces to accent the misted Pink Paislee paper.

To adhere the buttons to the layout, I used Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive. Perfect for those heavier embellishments.

That smile on the third photo is what I would see every morning I would go into our little boys room. It still melts my heart every time I see his smile.

That is it for today

Unique layout using Momenta and Basically Bare

Good Morning everyone. I've started the long process of redoing my entire studio and holy doodle batman, I've got a LOT of STUFF!!!! I've decided that I'm going to do Pinks/black/white and yellow. Should be a very happy place when I'm done.

Today I am sharing with you a layout I created using some beautiful papers from Momenta and 2 pages from the Betty's Brackets album from Basically Bare. This layout was so much fun to create and I adore the way that lacing adds to the texture.

I used a great mask from Crafters Workshop and some molding paste and once it was dry, I embellished the design with Dew Drops from The Robins Nest.

The chipboard piece for the title is also a Basically Bare piece and the sticker is from Momenta. It didn't go with the rest of the layout, so I actually colored it with Copics to get a perfect match.

Here is the finished layout. Easter Bunny and our daughter!!!

Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope you have a fantastic day. By the way, if you have a moment, stop by this amazing blog to see some serious eye candy today!!! Cat is one of my absolute favorite artists out there. Her water color projects are breathtaking!!!

Until next time

Momenta Butterfly Garden Layout and Fussy Cutting

Pastels are a huge trend right now. You can see them in Fashion, Home Decor and Paper crafting. When I received my latest design team products from Momenta, The Butterfly Gardens paper stack screamed at me. Well since it is filled with butterflies, maybe it was more like a soft whisper, but you know what I mean lol.

Today I am going to share with you a layout I created using the Butterfly Garden Paper pad, Butterfly Embossed Cardstock messages and Butterfly Mini Puffy Icon Stickers. The combination was perfect for a very girly layout of our little girl in her favorite pink jacket.

I also used a sentiment sticker from the My Style Puffy Stickers sheet to tie in the big fabric flower. Here are a few photos of the layout for you.

I did a lot of fussy cutting with the papers to create embellishments and the flowers and butterflies are great to do this with. 

 I also added a little Rock Candy Distress Stickles to the pieces I fussy cut, to give them a little blingage.

 Here is the complete layout. Everything has been adhered using Helmar Adhesives and I added a little distressing to the edges of the layout.

That is it for me today. I hope you all have a great weekend. Tomorrow, I'm going to select a winner for my small blog candy that I have so if you haven't entered , you can find the post HERE.

Until then
