Cards, Cards, Cards...

Check out Bella Blvd today for some inspiration. I had so much fun using the Cuttlebug embossing folders and the quilling kit.
I love the Tall Tags in the Sophisticates line! They are perfect for cards & tags. I used the embossing plus die: Fanciful Labels on this card. It was so nice that it cut and embossed all in one.
The embossing folders are a great way to add texture & dimension to a card or tag.
I love to add a little twist to a normal card. I made this tri-fold card and used the...
Cuttlebug Embossing Folder Border Set 37-1923 was a great way to add a little elegance to this tri-fold card. The border sets are cool because you get five different options! :)
I hope you have enjoyed the inspiration today. Check back tomorrow for even more. Don't forget to go over to Bella Blvd!

A fun little Frame & Giveaway...

I love to cut out flowers and embellishments from paper and I thought it would be great to combine my cut out flowers with ones I cut using the Cricut. I used the different flowers to decorate a frame of my sweet little Avery.
I used a plain wood frame and painted it white, using Bella Blvd's Flirty line I added the cut out embellishments and stickers along with a Baby Blooms a Bella and some buttons. The Flirty line with the Forever Young Cricut Cartridge was perfect for this frame.

Don't forget to head over to Bella Blvd today to see the rest of my project and an Amazing Cuttlebug Giveaway! You won't want to miss this.

My Projects & Amazing Giveaway


You won't want to miss checking out Bella Blvd today. Two of my own projects are being displayed and there is a HUGE Giveaway! How awesome is that! :)

My first project is a banner that you could create for any occasion. I chose Welcome Home because so many family members come home for the 4th of July! I used Bella Blvd's Man of the House collection and Maya Road's Ribbon, Chipboard Home (of the front of their album) and Maya Mist to cover the word Home.

Here is a close up showing how easy this can be made with nesting punches.
My second project is a Mini Album titled "Everyday moments that make me Smile" I used an American Crafts mini album and cover it with Bella Blvd to make it personal.
Throughout the book I used Maya Road's chipboard numbers to list the moments that make me Smile! :) I used used Maya Road's ribbon, flowers and some Maya Mist. It was so much fun creating this mini album.
The BEST thing about today is it is Friday & it is the BIGGEST GIVEAWAY @ BELLA BLVDthis week. Be sure to check out Bella Blvd to see how you can win this...

Final Day of Team Up ~ Bella Blvd & May Arts

This is my final project for the team up with Bella Blvd and May Arts. I had so much fun creating this layout. I had to use the Family Dynamix Just Write Stickers on my layout. I ended up creating this layout with one piece of cardstock, stickers, ribbon, chipboard and buttons. I did not use any pattern paper.

I loved using the journaling stickers to create a collage to fill up with song lyrics. Plus the ribbon breaks up the layout and gives it some dimension.
It was fun to practice my journaling and making it a little more creative. I think it gives it a special touch using my own handwriting.
Thanks to Bella Blvd and May Arts!

Been a little crazy...just like the title of my blog, but I have another amazing team up this week...

I have been so lucky to be a part of the Bella Blvd Design Team. We have some great team ups coming up and this is the first one...
I had so much fun designing a mini album using one of bella blvd's new collections Family Dynamix and some amazing ribbons by May Arts.
The ribbons were so versatile and matched the papers perfectly. I love how the ruffle ribbon on the front page gives it a little feminine touch.
Folding the ribbons and making a loop makes a great way for someone to pull out the secret page in a paper bag album.

The ribbons are a great way to add a little dimension to a paper bag book without making it too bulky.

Check out both blogs for more inspiration. *Add check back on Friday for my other project*
