Soup for the (Crafting) Soul

I saw the Homemade 6 Bean Soup line from Jillibean Soup this week and just had to have it!

I dug up some pictures I had of me crafting away from a few years ago.  Scrapbooking is such a huge part of my life and I wanted to have fun with the handmade, crafty feel of this paper line.

I had lots of fun with this one and was able to layer tons of embellishments

(which always makes me feel justified in my scrapbook spending. 

See honey, I do need all of these things!)

I used some great K and Co die-cuts that have been in my 'random stuff' drawer for years,

 along with LOTS of glittery cardstock flowers.

Here's a quick look at the Jillian Bean Soup collection, too.  It's super cute!

Thanks for stopping by, and happy crafting!

Warm Christmas Memories

One of the wonderful things about scrapbooking is that the holidays are never really over.  You get a chance to play with the pictures and fun holiday-themed paper and embellishments long after the last Christmas gift is opened.

We had such a great time seeing the family back in Las Vegas this year.  The weather was beautiful and the time spent together was magical.

This layout was done using the new Bo Bunny Father Christmas line as well as lots of fabulous Prima flowers. 

This page was all about layers for me.  I used several layers just in the background cardstock alone and then added here and there until I found a collage that I liked (the page weighs like 5 pounds! lol).

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas season!  Have lots of fun scrappin' those memories!

Wine and Dine

Nothing beats time with family.  My fabulous in-laws came to visit me here in Tri-Cities, Washington, and we gave them the grand tour of the wineries in our area.  Here is a picture of them on the balcony at Kiona winery.  It was my first wine tasting ~ whoo!

The weather was perfect and the cheese and wine was amazing!

What a DEER Pattern

I love when my pattern customers send me pictures of their finished work.  It's so much fun to see the result of all those hours (and hours) of hand stitching.

Love this pattern and want to make one for yourself?

Thanks so much, and happy stitching!

Book Club - My Fabulous Literary Lushes

I am part of an absolutely fabulous book club (appropriately named) "Literary Lushes".

We meet about once a month to discuss amazing books and drink high-end wine.

I love it.  These ladies are some of the most wonderful women that I've ever met (including my dear mother-in-law).

When I found this paper in one of the new DCWV stacks, I knew it was perfect for my book club photos.

The paper was pretty perfect on its own, but I jazzed it up a bit with pearl earrings and bling-dazzling jewelery.  I also matted the page with black and pink glitter card stock.  I topped the layout off with some retro-inspired crystal brads.

100% Boy

I am lovin' the new Crate Paper Toy Box Collection!  It is so flippipn' cute!

I have hoarded it for weeks, just looking longingly at it here and there. I finally had the chance to use it this week and love it even more than I did when I bought it!

My son received a vacuum bug catcher for Easter and we were on a mission to catch something awesome. He loaded up the stroller with all his supplies and topped it off with his favorite hat.

Boys are so much fun.  :)

P.S. I have a special, secret raffle planned for all attendees.....

Layout Love

Sometimes I get so into "card making" mode that I forget how much fun it can be to make a scrapbook page!

I've re-discovered my love for scrapbooking recently (my first love when it comes to paper crafting).

This season's adorable paper lines and embellishments have really made crafting a breeze!

Another thing I love about making pages is that I can use lots of my embellishments. 

I love decorating my pages with flowers, bling, rub-ons...basically whatever I can get my hands on.  :)

I really love this layout.  I'm really into banners right now, and I tend to use them everywhere. 

I love the ginham print on the paper and the collage feel.

Shabby chic layouts are so much fun to make. 

You really get the opportunity to use lots of fun goodies, from yarn to resin!

Be sure to stop by my Etsy shop and check out all the handmade layouts I have available!

Thanks so much!
