Featuring Little Brother

My one and only younger brother is a very successful Chef, has ink all over his body and a heart of gold.

Heartfelt Creations Hand Bag

I have to admit when I seen this bag being featured on the Heartfelt blog I wasn't impressed but then I seen it up close and HAD to have it!

It is absolutely beautiful inside and out.

Using Blue Fern Paper line Serendipity and the Heartfelt Blazing Poppy stamp and Die set I created the inserts for the pockets. Each pocket is 6.5" x 11.5" so the bag is a large one.

I am in love with this bag! Thank you Heartfelt <3

This pocket allows a lot of dimension as it's approximately 3" wide so I was able to put in a lot of flowers.

This pocket is not as wide only about 1/2" but still allows for a little dept.

Inside of the bag is this beautiful pink with ++ storage

For the love of Lilies

One of my favourite flowers has to be the Lily. It comes in so many colors and sizes and they bloom every year with little maintenance.

This page was done with an older line by My Minds Eye called Find Your Wings and Fly. Many embellishments came with this line. I'm sure I'll be using it again with another lay-out! I also used Heartfelt Creations Sunrise Lily stamp and dies. as it matched perfectly.

Thank you Cards

I spent the afternoon playing with some new stamps and inks from Altenew. I absolutely love their products!

Featured on these Thank you cards is "Bold Blossoms" and the ink colors from the Coral and Green palette. I used a die to trim the front down, WOW embossing powder for the stars, the background "thank you" as well as the sentiment inside the card (not shown) is with another stamp brand. I used BoBunny pattern paper for the background paper ont he front as it matched perfectly.

Winter Blues

As we enter the snowiest season in Nova Scotia I found this photo from Christmas 2015. It was taken in the moment and I never thought of it again until I was scanning through my photo files. It makes me want to breathe and exhale.

I decided to participate in a few challenges with the photo this month.

Challenge 1:  The first challenge is with Dusty Attic. I love their chipboard products which I used on my layout. I used the following products:  Corner Flourish # 4, String Frames and  Word Pack #10. The other part of their challenge was to use blue and/or to follow the sketch...I did it all!

Dusty Attic Sketch

Challenge 2: Is with Scrap Our Stash This is a fun blog that gives you options with a Tic-Tac-Toe game.

I choose to use the following to play along: The Color Blue, Winter Theme and Paint/Mist

Products used: Pattern papers from the following lines; Carta Belle The Great Outdoors, Echo Park Jack & Jill line; Some scraps from my left over bin; Bo Bunny Double Dot Dark Demin; The spray was Faded Jeans Distress Spray; I used a lot of multi medium on this page with gesso, white paste, stencils from Tim Holtz & Memory Box; Also add stitches with sewing machine; White UTEE on the snowflakes that were cuts from dies; Microbeads; stamping with Tim Holtz stamp. Finishing touches with sequences and brads.

Sweet Sexy Momma

Happy New Year!!

This page may get me disowned but I've been hanging onto this fun picture of my Mother way too long <3

 

I used a paper pack from Fancy Pants called Flutter. It has beautiful pastel colours along with two foil gold papers. I also used some embellishments from a past line from MME called Jubilee. They matched perfectly. From my Creative Embellishment stash some pieces of chipboard that fit rather well.

The inspiration for this layout sketch was this one posted by Creative Scrapbooker Magazine:
