This is one exciting MOMz TEAM Project!

Good morning everyone.
I hope this Friday morning finds you all healthy and happy.


Today I am very excited to share with you a combined Ebay listing that I teamed up with my friend Julie, from Precious Memories by Julie on!


We created two Nursery Rhyme/Children's themed layouts that would be perfect for dispaying any pictures of your snuggles of joy in!  They'd also look wonderful framed and hung on a wall as well.
The coloring of these pages are gender neutral so you can easily incorporate them into any boy's or girl's memory books.

Now, Here's a peek at Julie's listing:

You can find all the details and many more pictures over on her blog HERE.

She also has a great Facebook Fanpage if you want to join her HERE

Now on to my project.

I used the newest (Cutest) pattern set from Little Scraps of Heaven Designs to create this layout.

The set is called Goodnight Moon and can be found HERE if you are interested.

Here is the full layout

Have a great weekend

You win my love Layout

I really did have some fun playing with paper this weekend.  I made a card and two layouts.  My last post showed you my card that I made for the LSHD Sketch challenge, and here is the first layout that I'd like to share with you.


I have two boys.  Valentine's day is coming up.  They are not the cutesy type, nor do I think they ever will be.  So I had them in mind while I created a not-so-cutesy but CUTE Valentine's layout.


I started of course with a new LSHD pattern release:

You win my love

Added some of my favorite American Crafts paper, and a bit of bling from the DCWV Glitsy stack and 

wala ....

Here is what you get

Here is a close up of the car

A title close up

Here is a mat with two tags tucked in.  These could be used for additional pictures or for journaling.

I really love how the red makes everything pop off the page.  I think it's perfect for Valentine's Day.  In a world where this holiday usually means pink, lace and hearts, I think this looks A-OK.

CardSketch Challenge at Little Scraps of Heaven Designs

Happy Monday everyone!


I hope that the weekend treated you well.
We received a few inches of snow here .. just outside of Seattle.... and even though I'm a Michigander and should be used to the snow, things are so different here.   Because it does not snow often, we spent the weekend in and out of the house playing with snow, having snowball fights and even making a snowman.  Almost seems unheard of here!   We'll be enjoying it once again today as the boys are off for MLK day.   What are you doing today?  Any crafting?  If you are .. I have an idea for you that will result in a fabulous card AND a chance to win some free files over at Little Scraps of Heaven Designs.


This week we have a CARD Sketch Challenge going on.  I must say that I am L-O-V-I-N' these sketch challenges!  They are a great way to get me to focus on coloring and my piecings rather than placement on cards or layouts.

Here is the sketch for this week:

And HERE is the Design team blog that you can find out all the details

Now, I'm hoping you'd like to see what I created with this sketch ... do you?  Well .. here you have it.....

I really had a ton of fun with this. 

I used two files from the LSHD collections.

1. Scalloped Shapes

2. Handbag collection

I added some bakers twine for fun, some jute ribbon and I even made that cute flower with the ribbon and a brad!  The papers that you see are all from DCWV and are the Safari Chic stack.   LOVE IT!

Happy Monday all!

Thanks so much for stopping by today.

My Mane Valentine

Happy Friday to everyone!

Today, I'd like to share a two page layout I made using patterns from Little Scraps of Heaven for Valentines day.

Little Scraps of Heaven Sketch Challenge - Week of January 9, 2012

Come on over and join me in the Little Scraps of Heaven Designs Sketch Challenge.


The design team has some fabulous examples of what you can do with the sketch that is posted ...and we would LOVE to see what unique things you can do with it too!


Head on over to the Design team blog to get all the details on how to enter, examples and what you can win.


Here is the sketch for the week.

Cute, isn't it?

Well, here is what I did with this sketch.  I really enjoyed getting a personal layout completed with this.  It's a great way to get a kick start on a layout ...

This sweet picture is of my oldest one of his little 'girlfriends'.  They are so cute together and ever since this picture was taken I knew I just HAD to get it on paper.  If you look really close, at the base of the fountain you can see a rainbow.  My picture of the picture does not capture it that great, but it is really an amazing shot that my friend was able to capture with her camera ... a point and shoot no less!  So .. if you don't have a fancy camera, no worries, because with the right lighting you can capture the most amazing of moments too!

For this layout I used a few files from Little Scraps of Heaven Designs

1. Strike a pose - girl

2. Stirke a pose - boy

3. Simple Scalloped shapes.

I hope you've enjoyed my layout for the sketch, and I do hope you'll give it a try .. what do you have to lose?  A fabulous page for one of your albums?

New Year's challenge over at Little Scraps of Heaven Designs

Happy New Year everyone!  I hope that everyone had a Holiday as amazing as mine and is refreshed, renewed and ready for the New Year!  BRING IT ON 2012!!!

I have a very exciting announcement to make.
I am now BACK on the Design Team for Little Scraps of Heaven Designs.  WOO HOO!

I can't even begin to tell you how much I missed working with this fabulous group ... BUT .. Life just got too busy for awhile.

My first to-do as a DT member is the first challenge of the month.
If you haven't heard, they are shaking things up over at LSHD with challenges of all sorts .. cards, themes, sketches .. you name it!  It really is a fun way to try out some new things and get you a bit out of your element.  Also a great way to win some fantastic patterns too!

The first challenge of the year was to create a New Years Card.
I chose to use the newly released "New Years Bear" file that you can see below.  Just click on the picture to go directly to the site.

And .. Here is the card I created with the file.

To create the card, I welded two of the clock circles together to form the base of the card.  Cute, right?

Want details on how to get on on this challenge ... don't forget you have a chance at some FREE FANTASTIC patterns!   Click HERE for all the Details!

I was also inspired to make a layout with this file too .... Does THAT surprise you at ALL?  Nope, not me .. not one bit!

This has to be my favorite layout of the year!   HE HE.

I'm usually not a purple girl, but I really like how this pops on the page!

All the patterned and glitter papers I used were from Die Cuts with a view.  The Lemon Flower stack, and new Glitzy Glitter stack worked really well for this layout.  My solid papers are from American Crafts ... My FAVORITE textured paper to work with!

The layout is available now on ebay ... Just click HERE for more details!
