Gossamer Blue: As Nora's Mom

Good morning! Today I have another layout to share with you featuring the April Gossamer Blue kits. This one focuses on the relationship I have with Miss Nora. (I already created a layout about Lily a few months ago and wanted to create one for her sister). These photos were taken on Mother's Day last year. I love using my layouts to write letters to my girls and I try to do that at least once a year.

Lots of pretty embellishments this month - the butterflies, doilies, wood veneer and flair!

Love that Dear Lizzy sticker...just so sweet!

Have a great day! :)

Gossamer Blue: Awesome Dad

Good morning! Today I have a layout to share with you that showcases the April main kit from Gossamer Blue. The main kit is sold out but if you want to get in on the fun at Gossamer Blue, I would be sure to start your subscription with May's kit!

This photo is from Father's Day last summer of the girls with their daddy and grandpa Pete. I highlighted the hexagons on this patterned paper from Studio Calico and added patterned papers and embellishments mostly from American Crafts.

I made a template for the hexagons using the star vellum and then cut each patterned paper piece out using the template.

I love the little frame rub-on from American Crafts. The flair is October Afternoon and wooden buttons from American crafts. The wood veneer is a Gossamer Blue exclusive.

Thanks for stopping by today! :)

American Crafts: Beautiful Spring Day

Good morning! Today I want to share my projects for spring week on the American Crafts blog. I used the Cut & Paste collection to create this layout and card. These photos are from Mother's Day last year. We make it a point to always get some photos on Mother's Day and Father's Day. Usually on Mother's Day, our crab apple tree is flowering and it is such a pretty pink bloom.

I kept my design very simple and matted my photos with two different patterned papers. 

 

I really like the vellum pockets for journaling. I jazzed this one up with a few fabric photo corners and a resin bow.

And here is my spring card...the wood veneer card was deliberately placed on the stripes of the patterned paper.

Thanks for stopping by today! :)

Webster's Pages: Happy Easter frame

Good morning! Hope you all had a great weekend! Today I have a new project to share for Webster's Pages. I used the new Allison Kreft collection called "Hello World" to make this 12x12 frame for Easter.

I cut the Easter egg borders out of white cardstock with my Cameo. 

Then I backed each egg with patterned papers in the collection and embellished several of them with enamel dots and wood veneer stars.

I white washed a wooden frame - kept it neutral so I could change out the decor. 

I also cut out my title - partially on the Cameo and from a journaling card in the collection.

Here is a close-up of the eggs...

This was a quick and easy project! Hope you have a great Monday! It's supposed to be a beautiful week here! :)
