Celebrating Dad

There is no one like my dad. I love him to pieces!!! This is a layout I made of him on Father's Day. We had such a great time gathered together as a family honoring him.





I used the September kit from Birds Of A Feather on this one. By the way, the October kit has just been revealed on the Birds Of A Feather website and you are just going to LOVE IT!!! I know I do!

Birds Of A Feather PLUS a sketch!

Happy Monday all! This month's kit from Birds Of A Feather is one of my favorite kits ever! I am usually not a "pink" person but these patterned papers from Echo Park and all of the yummy matching embellies are just divine.
I made two more layouts with this gorgeous kit and a matching sketch for this one, just to give you some inspiration.


These are two of my beautiful nieces. They are 21 years apart and both naturually beautiful.


Don't you just love this soft, feathered flower? It's in the kit...;)

And one more closeup...

I used several of the French Paastry doily dies from Cheery Lynn Designs. I scrunched them all up to make this ruffled look under the circle.

I'll share another Birds Of A Feather layout tomorrow.

September Cheery Lynn Designs New Release

I am really excited about this month's new releases at Cheery Lynn Designs. They've come out with even more fabulous doilies, borders and frames.
I made this card using the new Mediterranean Lace Rectangle Frame, Lace Rose and Flourishes, and the Stacker Flower leaf.


I love how intricate and detailed these amazing dies are. There really is nothing like them.

Check out their website and BLOG to see all of the other releases ( yes, there is A LOT more) and more beautiful projects from the DT.

Hi and happy Monday! This month I will be taking a break from the monthly sketch challenge. I may post a sketch now and then but I won't have any examples from the design team and there will not be a sponsor. This month is going to be soooooo busy for me that something had to give.

Just so you're not too disappointed with me, here is this month's sketch that I made for Scrapnart online magazine.

Here is my layout using the sketch. I also used this month's Birds Of A Feather kit.

This is my adorable little nephew, Boston.





I'll add Mr. Linky below just for fun so others can see your layout using the sketch.
Have fun!

Cheery Lynn Designs Hello card

Hi and happy Thursday! Today I want to share a card I made using Cheery Lynn Designs dies and this cute paper from Echo Park. (The papers and stickers are in the Birds Of A Feather Sept kit.)


I love the way the Little Pink Bicycle complements the lamp post sticker. It really makes a cute scene. I embossed the top part of the card with the Petite Hearts embossing plate and the Embossing pads. Finally, I added a few Darling Daisies and a cut out of the Dotties Ric Rac border.

Have a nice day!
