Itty Bitty Dot Challenge

Whew...finished with 38 minutes to go. This little card is for a challenge over at Papertrey Ink. Check out Nichole's blog for all of the birthday festivities they have going on...here.


I've used their Ripe Avocado cardstock and their Raspberry Fizz cardstock, ribbon and ink. I also used Scor Tape for the glitter and the stamp set is called Heart Prints. Thanks for taking a look!

New Class at A Million Memories



There's a new class starting this coming Saturday over at A Million Memories. It is being taught by one of our fabulous design team members Corien. She does some really beautiful work. Here are a few sneak peaks of the mini album she'll be teaching you how to make. Guaranteed to have lots of flowers if you are a flower girl. Hop on over and sign up....here.



I hope to be back tomorrow with my projects from the AMM February kit...we're behind schedule due to CHA. But, I have two layouts done and hope to get one more done as well as a card and a little project that will have a little tutorial!

More new Clear Scraps

Here is another new release from Clear Scraps. This is their brand new large clear acrylic cupcake shape. I chose to work it in a different way and make my project an ice cream sundae. Thinking outside the box a little. You get two of these shapes in a package and do you all want to know the best part???? Leave a comment at the end of this post and I will have a random drawing...the winner will recieve their very own package of Clear Scraps large cupcake shapes!!!! You all have until Wednesday the 14th at midnight PST!!!!

O.K. I have been wearing glitter all over for the last 48 hours because of this little thing....I painted the edges in pink and white then sprinkled glitter all over that and then also glittered the heck out of the marshmallow cream....and added some seed beads on top for sprinkles!




Thanks for taking a peek and stay tuned for more to come from Clear Scraps!

Clear Scraps...let the show begin

I'm steadily working away on the heavy box of Clear Scraps product that came my way. Here is the first of many projects for the next few weeks. This little mini was made from a new line called Chip 'n' Clear. Which means that it is part clear acrylic and part chipboard. You get a sheet of clear acrylic that is cut into many different shapes and a coordinating sheet of different shapes of chipboard. Both sheets are 12x12. One thing that I absolutely love about the chipboard is that it has a "burned" edge where the laser cut it...it really looks like it is pre-distressed with a chocolate brown ink for you. So, if you want to leave it bare it has a great look to it! Not to mention the aroma of burnt chipboard, which oddly I have found rather enticing. :)

I only used roughly half of the elements included with this...which means I will be able to make another little mini...2 for 1, love that idea! The first two pics are what the album looks like prior to dismanting it. Just so you get an idea of what you are getting....
This first sheet is the acryic sheet. It doesn't look clear here because the chipboard sheet is behind it and because it has protective layers of film on both sides that you need to peel off prior to using it.
For this album I chose to use the clear cover and back and chipboard pieces for the inner pages. I then randomly used chipboard and acrylic flower embellies.
This adorable vintage fairy dress that Natasha is wearing in these photos are from one of my Mom's dearest friends who gave this to her when she was born. She loves to dress up now and it fits her perfectly and she adores wearing it. So, thank you Paula the size ended up being just right!!!!
