Be Mine- January Dixie Pieces Kit

The January Be Mine Kit from Dixie Pieces is out and I {HEART} it!!! Filled with Jillibean Soup, Doodlebug and Maya Road, this kit is perfect for your upcoming Valentines projects. 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.

This year, one of my goals is to create more projects about my marriage, my husband and us. The photos were taken when my husband took me up to Banff for a weekend, and I started snapping those photos.

Next, my favorite photo of my husband to date. Man do I adore him ~pitter patter~

I'm loving all the krafty goodness in this kit. Also I used some new embossing powders from WOW for the Sweetheart chipboard and I LOVE THIS STUFF.

I'm off to create some more projects for CHA. Make sure you come back tomorrow because it is my Blogiversary and I'm having a PARTY!!!!

PS, a just because winner of a Robin's Nest Diamond Stack full of purdy colored diamonds. Thanks for your comment Denise. Send me your mail information and I'll get that out to you soon.

Warming Things Up for New Years- Handmade Coffee Sleeve

I love my Starbucks coffees. Whether it is a Pumpkin Spice Latte, Caramel Macchiatto or White Chocolate Mocha, I'm in heaven! So when I got a warming cupful, I thought why not make the perfect coffee sleeve to go with the perfect cup o' java?

Hey there everyone, I'm here today to share with you a project I created using the wonderfrul Color Corrugated papers from Paper Temptress. For the sleeve, I used Chocolate and Light Blue Corrugated papers as well as some red burlap that came in my Dixie Pieces January Kit. I traced the shape using the original Starbucks sleeve and adhered everything with Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive. I used red rhinestone embellishments from the Vintage Jewels and Gradient Gems packs from Creative Charms.

Here are the photos for ya. Aren't those colors together GORGEOUS!!!!

And a close up for you to see the Corrugated papers close up. These are so great to work with, so if you haven't purchased them from Paper Temptress before, go grab a few of them today.

Well, I'm off to have a great cup of coffee decked out in my new cup sleeve. I hope you all have a fantastic day. Until next time...

Toodles

(PS- get ready for my blogiversary coming up in a few short days. It's gonna be a big one and if you leave comments now, I may just give some surprises away before the big day)
