Nikki Sivils GDT!

Today I am featured on the Nikki Sivils blog as this month's guest designer!! They sent me a generous box of goodies to play with which included the Willow Bee and My Friend Bordie collection. Love them!!! Here is what I created for my GDT duties:

Bee-autiful



I made this LO using the Willow Bee line and canvas buttons -also from Nikki Sivils.

Best Buds


For this LO I used the My Friend Birdie line. I cut the center out of the round die cut paper and stitched a criss cross pattern to add a little more dimention.

Create


This is also from the My Friend Birdie collection. I think my 3 yr old is going to be an architect when he grows up. He really does designs the BEST buildings out of blocks.

I am truly honored. You can see the post on Nikki Sivils HERE!

A whole lotta' Glitz

I cannot begin to tell you how much fun I had with the November main kit from
Sweet Peach Crop Shop. The majority of the papers are from the Glitz Designs "Scarlett" collection. You'll also find papers from Girls Paperie, GCD Studios, Jillibean and MME. I had to go out and do a little photo shoot with my kids, the photos I had just wouldn't do these beautiful papers justice.

Here are a few of my creations:


Aren't these Flora Doodles flowers from Petaloo just the coolest? Add those with the Zva crystal flourishes and you have the perfect pair.
I love my cute boys!!



This is my beautiful Sidney. She just turned 10 and she's prettier than ever! The butterflies do not come with the kit but everything else does including the Glitz polka dot rubons.

Enjoy your day! Today is my only day off this week so I know I will. :)

I've got a toot!!


I have some exciting news to share! I made the DT for a manufacturing company called Cheery Lynn Designs! Woopee!!!! I am soooo excited! They have a huge assortment of dies and embossing plates which are compatible to most table-top die cut machines. I use a Sizzix and it'll work perfect! You have got to check them out! I can't wait to share with you my creations using their wonderful products!
You can see the rest of the chosen DT members on their BLOG.

Thanks for letting me toot my horn!

It's Easy as 123!!

This week on the Scrap It With A Song challenge blog we are using the song "ABC...its easy as 123" from non other than the Jackson 5 as our inspiration . Its a shame their big hair has gone out of style. :) I love this song!!
I took a different approach to the song and I counted backwards for my title. I felt that no actual words were needed. :) This is my sleeping little cowboy.

Play along, this week you can win 5 digi images from Sew Many Cards!!
