Sweet Baby Matchbook Notes

Hello All!

Supply List: Imaginisce: Pattern Papers & Die Cut -My Sweet Baby Boy, American Crafts- Foam Adhesive, Cardstock & Twine, Bo Bunny Doilie, Misc Eyelets, Project Life Dies, Silhouette Design ID #32212.

On the back I added  a die cut with a little note

Mama has a bunch of pages for quick little notes

I added a bit of embossing powder to the heart for a bit more texture

Welcome Spring Bunny Basket

Hello All! 

I'm up on the Imaginisce blog today sharing my happy little spring project :)

With piles and piles of snow outside, I happily went to work on this week’s assignment over at Imaginisce to create a spring themed project.

I started with the bright & beautiful Welcome Spring Collection and added a dollar bin bird cage that I thought could be a cute altered gift (I always pick through the dollar bins to find items to alter someday).  After a bit of weaving and rolling I ended up with this sweet little springy Bunny Basket treat.

Products Used: Imaginisce: Welcome Spring -Pattern Papers, Dice cut & Adhesive Gems, 

American Crafts- Ribbon, Martha Seward Fringe Scissors and small bird cage.

I just love rolled roses! They are so easy and add such a pop to any project. I created these ones using my cameo!! Yes another project that I used it on, I really am on a roll!

Here is a peek at the little bunny,

 I tucked in some grass that I made using some fringe scissors.

Here you can see how I weaved strips of paper

 between the bars to transform the cage to a basket.

Packed full of yummy treats this is going to make someone special smile! 

Now I just have to decide who to give this little sweetie to.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!!

From my Heart to yours!

With Valentine's Day coming up shortly we thought it would be a great idea to give you a head start with inspiration for creating some cards, over on the Imaginisce Blog. This week a bunch of the ladies have been sharing the love with some darling cards! Make sure you stop by the Imaginisce Blog for some sweet inspiration!

For my cards I used some Silhouette files, The rock tool and even recycling packaging product! Did you know that you can get Imaginisce files for your Silhouette? Well I did not until very recently, so I just had to try it.  Here is a quick Valentine’s Day card I created using “Imaginisce Hearts Design # 41943.” from the Silhouette Online store.

Make sure you check outs some Imaginisce files you will love them!

But I just couldn't stop there because I promised myself I would use my silhouette more this year. So with another file I made this card using Imaginisce packaging and the I-Rock Tool.

And just because I love to get messy I had to play with a little watercolor! I  created this card by simply painting the hearts from the first card and adding a bit of bling!

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you have enjoyed my cards!

Make sure you stop by the Imaginisce Blog for some sweet inspiration from these amazing ladies!

Let it Snow! -Imaginisce

In April of 2011 my second daughter Peyton was born and the decision was made that I would give up my career and become a stay at home mother. This was a very hard decision for me to make and even harder to accept.

I struggled with the changes for a long time, I knew I needed something some kind of connection to the grown up world and by chance one day I found it. I stumbled across some scrapbook layouts while surfing the net and I realized they had been shared through the blogging world. I spent all of nap time that day peeking at blogs and realizing that I had a lot in common with these ladies.

My outlet was found and the choice was made, I was started my blog and decided to join online community. I was very nervous to share my creations at first, I was afraid that my projects weren't worthy of sharing. Still I decided that I would and I'm so grateful I did, but now I wanted more.

Now I wanted to be on a design team so I sent application after application and well nothing happened. But then it did and I was lucky enough to be selected for a few online teams full of amazing women. Then I learned that manufactures had design teams and that became my new goal and after many years and lots of applications I gave up. Until I saw the call for Imaginisce, now I had applied before and I didn't make the cut. So I thought why not I love the products and I always have, it’s worth one more try and that brings us to today.  

So here it is my first project for my first manufacture team is up one the Imaginisce blog today. Our challenge was to create a winter themed layout without using winter products.  Here is my layout: I hope you like it, I had a lot of fun creating it.

Products Used:Imaginisce –My Baby Collection, Paper & Dimensional Stickers, Imaginisce Snag’em Stamps –Christmas Colors, American Crafts- Tazzel Glitter Tape & Cardstock, Versa Ink, Embossing powder and Bo Bunny Pearls.

A few details for fun!
