Paperie line from Making Memories...

One of the great things about being on the Design Team for A Million Memories (aside from the fabulous monthly kits) is that Michelle works really hard to get manufacturers to sponsor the team...kind of a give a little get a little...they send us product to work with and then we are their "advertisement". I was sent the Poolside collection from the Paperie line.....

A card...

3 layouts...

Another card....
And this was my favorite of the bunch. It was made using a large Clear Scraps shaped acrylic page. Surrounding the large photo is another Clear Scraps acrylic frame piece that I embossed using my Cuttlebug...one of the great things about Clear Scraps acrylic is how flexible this stuff is, it runs right through an embossing maching with NO problems and produces some beautiful results!!! The journaling on this one reads...The prolonged SILENCE of a 2 year old is rarely a good thing...yep, she found my makeup. Fortunately, she found a pretty mild color of lipstick considering I usually wear a pretty dark plum shade and there are some reds in that bag too!

Thanks for taking a peek. My mantle is officially decorated for Christmas. Tomorrow we are off to get the tree...how about you all??? Please just don't tell me that you are all decorated, shopped and wrapped!!!

These are all projects made using the December kit from A Million Memories. It was such an easy one for me to work with. THe colors were fabulous and you could make holiday or non-holiday layouts, I did a little of both!

This first one is a little desktop calendar. In the kit is the Maya Road accordian house book. I chose to take mine apart and only use two of the houses.

And lastly a trifold card...

I just can't believe it is the Christmas season already. Spent some time today decorating the windows and our staircase railing. Tomorrow...the mantle and the top of the buffet in our dining room...

Thank you Webster's Pages

For asking li'l ol' me to be your Guest Designer for November. I adore Webster's pages. Their products have such an elegant vintagey (yep, thinkin' I made up that word) feel to them. The first layout plays double duty for me as I used a Clear Scraps 12x12 acrylic sheet with it and just cut along the flower edge. Their acrylic really is the best, cuts like butter and is embossable, which you'll soon see when I post the rest of this month's CS projects!



An altered box...

A Trifold Card...

Amd my absolute favorite of the bunch!...oops sorry, had to remove the photo for this one. I'll get it back up once the publication comes out!

Thanks for taking a peek!

A Million Memories November kit and Clear Scraps

***WARNING*** Photo heavy post!!!

Yeah, busy weekend for me. I got the family settled into bed on Halloween evening and got to work. Stayed up until 3:00 a.m. working on projects. Couldn't help it...had some mojo, quiet house, good tunes playing and lots of fun stuff in front of me to create with.

First the November kit from A Million Memories...

Thanks for taking the time to check it all out. AMM is going to have a fabulous contest with some outstanding prizes...it will be a round robin thing...four rounds...secret judges...more to follow!!!!!

Pink Paislee Projects

First a big thank you to Pink Paislee, they were very generous with their sponsorship of the design team at A Million Memories. I was sent the Pop Fashion line and adored working with it. It's a very feminine line and was perfect for using wiht photos of my little Natasha.
