Graffiti Bridge {cocoa daisy}

 

Where has May gone? I can't believe I haven't shared my work using the Cocoa Daisy May Kit, Graffiti Bridge, yet. We had the Spring Crop a few weekends ago and we were super busy making all of these wonderful samples and challenges for you — now I can share that with you!

This layout was for the Let's Get Inky challenge. I loved playing around with the mask that was in the kit and some inks. So fun!



This card was for a sketch challenge. As you know, I love my clouds! 


This page wasn't for any particular challenge at the crop, I just made it using what I had left on my desk after I made the other projects. Occasionally, I love how a boy page looks after you throw pink into the mix. 


So there ya go! Some of my lovely Cocoa Daisy May projects. Thanks for stopping by to see my work.

The Paper Variety {sketch challenge}


I am so excited to be a guest over on The Paper Variety today. This is the sketch that I made for the peeps over at The Paper Variety to play along with.

I have to admit that I love TPV. I play over there any time I get a chance, and love the company and challenges over there. If you haven't stop by yet, I'd give 'em a chance. Why not start with this sketch challenge?! :)

I made my page for this challenge using the Scrapbook Circle kit: The Story. I can't get enough of this kit! All of the little stickers and clouds — sigh, love it!




When you get a chance, swing by The Paper Variety and join us. I hope to see you there!

Hello Cupcake! {imaginisce}


Hello, Cupcake! (hee hee) I love this new collection from Imaginisce. Really, really love it! To me, it seems like so many birthday lines trend towards a girl's layout once you add in the desserts and crowns and sparkles of a birthday party. Hello Cupcake is amazingly neutral and such a fantastic collection overall. Yep — I'm gushing!

Nate turns 6 this month! I just had to snag a few posed pictures of him, and the Hello Cupcake collection was the perfect excuse to scrap them early. He was so good about posing for these.


Here's a card I made. In fact, I made many cards already using Hello Cupcake. It was difficult to stop creating!


And, if you remember from last year, Nate has been known to wear a badge on his birthday. Of course, I had to keep that tradition alive. Here is this year's birthday badge for the little man.


Thanks for stopping by to see my creations using the latest collection from Imaginisce. I have to say, it's one of my favorites for sure! Stop by the blog all week for more inspiration.

Insta-fun


Hello! Happy Mother's Day to all the mommies out there stopping by. Today I am sharing with you a page I made using the sketch challenge at Artful Delight. With my new HP printer, it was really easy to set up my Instagram pictures onto a 4x6 and then cut them out as 2x2 pics. 


I used scraps and whatever stickers I had laying around to make the page. If I keep using Instagram (now that they have the Android app), I hope to be able to do one of these each month. We'll see... :)

Have a great Sunday, and thanks for stopping by to see my layout today.

Love {card}


Hello! Sharing with you today a quick card I made. It's a wedding congrats card. I just love all of these Dear Lizzy embellishments. The letters are from Lilly Bee.


I hope everyone has a great weekend planned. And happy early Mother's Day! Big squeeze to all of the mommies out there.

Sketch challenge {Scrapbook Circle}


It's sketch time! I've posted a new sketch challenge over on the Scrapbook Circle blog. Play along with us and I'll include you in the reveal post on 5/25. 

Here's the page I made using the sketch and the May kit for Scrapbook Circle: The Story. I really, really love this kit. Not only are there chipboard clouds and great "boy" colors in this kit, but it also has stickers and a doily mask. Just amazing!




These pictures were taken on Easter day when we went over to the fish hatchery while we waited for dinner to finish up in the oven. It was colder than we thought, but fun nonetheless. Nate had a blast throwing the fish food into the little ponds and watching the fish jump like crazy. 

I hope you'll get a chance to use the sketch, and thanks for stopping by to see my page today. Scoot on over to the Scrapbook Circle blog for more info on this sketch.

Precious Remembrance {card}


Hello! Sharing a card with you today that used the "birthday girl" sentiment from the Birthday Stamp Set from Precious Remembrance. I really love how the font flows on this set.


Can't go wrong with ice cream cones, either. :) Hope you all are having a great day. And thanks for stopping by here to see my card.
