Baby Dennis Scrapbook page donation

The Little Scraps of Heaven Design team has pulled together to create some scrapbooking layouts for a family in need.

Baby Dennis is nine months old, in the Boston hospital praying for a new heart.  It is a heartbreaking story and I can only hope and pray that the family gets all the help, love and support that they need at this time.

I have created an 8x8 layout to send to the family.  If by chance you can offer your help, you can click the link HERE to be taken to the FaceBook page event to explain the details.

Here is the layout that I have created for the family.  I truly hope that they enjoy it.

For the layout I have used the following items:

1. Bear with Balloons pattern from Little Scraps of Heaven Designs

2. Banners pattern from Little Scraps of Heaven Designs

3. Papers from Papertrey ink, Pacific Vineyard

Thanks for stopping by!

Mother's Day Blog Hop - Day 2

Welcome to the second day of the Mother's Day blog hop that is hosted by Nicolette.  A special thank you to Nicolette for hosting the fabulous hop!

I am very excited to be a part of this hop and share with you a few projects that I have made to celebrate all of the terrific Moms out there.  I am a Mother, as well as a Daughter and know how easy it is to overlook all the everyday things that Mom's do for the ones that they love.  I can only hope that my projects will inspire you to call your Mom (or at least make you smile).


The blog hop occurs over two days, but I will be posting several projects, so please be sure to check back often, or simply sign up over to the right to get email notifications when I post new items.

I have a few more Mother's Day cards that I created.  I utilized stamps and paper from Papertrey Ink and a die cut from Taylored Expressions.  Both companies have fantastic products and I know you will love them if you check them out.

This second card is created utilizing a Little Scraps of Heaven Designs paper piecing. I used the rough edged bear with balloons pattern and modified its positioning to suit my needs.   The papers are from the SEI couture line, and the sentiment is another from Papertrey Ink.

I hope that you have enjoyed my cards for today .. and the hop itself.

I'll be giving away some blog candy too!  I have a set of cute stamps that I picked up over at PaperTrey Ink that I'll be giving away the day after the hop.

It's the TINY TAGS stamp collection.  Super cute, isn't it???

I hope that you are enjoying the hop, and please come back again soon.

Take care, and Happy Mother's day to ALL of the wonderful Mom's out there!

For my first projects for the hop, I'll be sharing a few Mother's Day cards that I made.

The first card that I created above uses DCWV papers.  I love the butterflies!

The sentiment on the front of the card is a digital stamp that I stumbled upon over at Digital Delights.  You too can pick it up HERE.

The second sentiment on the inside of the card is a traditional stamp that I purchased from Lili of the Valley.  As you can tell, I am a HUGE fan of circular sentiments.  

For my second card, I also used DCWV papers.  This is the new Lemon stack.  I love it!

The sentiment is also one that I picked up over at Lili of the Valley stamps.  

The small Happy Mother's Day stamp is something that I picked up over at Papertrey Ink.  They have some great items over there.  

I hope that you have enjoyed my cards for today .. and the hop itself.

A few design team projects to share

I've had a few design team projects come up that I have yet to post about.  It's been pretty busy around the homefront ... a sick little boy :(  It truly breaks my heart that he has been so sad, yet unable to tell me whats wrong.  The good news is that it looks like it is uphill from here.   I can only hope that is the case!

For my Monday project this week, I created a scrapbook embellishment.  This could easily fit on a layout or even be placed on a gift bag.  Unfortunately the inspiration for this was the rainy weather here in Seattle.  It really takes some getting used to!

For this project, I used a digital stamp that I grabbed for FREE over at the Little Scraps of Heaven Blog.  I colored the image in Copics and added some flowers for some dimension.  I also colored the flowers in copics as well.

The second project that I have to share is a birthday card.  I made this card for a friend of my son's who we will be celebrating with tomorrow.  I sure hope he likes the monkey!

I thought it looked kind of perfect for a 5 year old!

For this project, I used the Monkey single pattern file from Little Scraps of Heaven.  I also tested out some new paper and stamps that I discovered at Papertrey Ink.  I really am loving the selection of stamps and dies that they have over there.  I have a feeling I'm in trouble :)  Good for them, bad for me! he he

 I hope that you've enjoyed my projects!

Have a restful evening.
