Crate Paper Mini Album Card

Happy Tuesday! I love flowers and so I really enjoyed making this mini album card for my sweet mother-in-law's birthday. I have made so much with the Pretty Party Crate Paper Collection. Here is the link to their whole collection. Crate Paper So with some of my leftovers I created this lovely mini.

My inspiration for all my creations using Crate Paper came from this  Two Peas Member . The colors and flowers just feel like a vintage, lazy Summer.
Here are some pictures of this card.  I can't wait for my mother-in-law to receive this card and beam with joy as she looks through it.


Loved cutting out more of these flowers and adding them to the yellow lace paper. Also, I cut out the yellow edge and inked it with brown ink for a vintage look.

Here is a closer look!

Loved making these pockets throughout the album card. This one is a "Happy Birthday" tag. I added the rose to the top of the tag.


Here is another pocket on the left with two tags. I will journal my thoughts on these tags.

Journal tags are a great way to express your feelings about the person or picture.

Here are the last pages. This pocket on the right has the last tag. Loved adding all these flowers and pearls.


Thanks for taking a look at my/our gift for my mother-in-law.  Have a great day all!

Soul Sistah Painting

I love trying new things in art. It is like an adventure and a hearty challenge. So after I saw this picture of the soul singer Ledisi, I just had to try it. Love the dark eye shadow and the head tilted. So dramatic! When I first tried adding the blue eye shadow to my painting it looked cool to me. But when I had my hubby look at it he nicely told me the blue I did made her eyes look hollow! LOL! So I went back and added a lighter blue and that did it! So here are some pictures showing the progression of my version of Ledisi. Thanks for stopping by! Have a super day.

My Birthday Blog Party

Welcome to my Birthday Blog Party! I am starting my celebration early to fully enjoy my day. My actual birthday is May 29th but why not start early right? :) When I think of birthdays past, they were always such exciting times for me. Many of my birthdays were celebrated with fun parties from my childhood to my young adult years. I loved all of those special parties and to this day, I still love it. Maybe this is where my love for event planning all started. At my 3rd birthday, my parents gave me a big one. I don't really remember but the pictures are so cool. I had lots of kids there, a clown, a little merry-go-round ride and lots of games. I had a white little outfit on and was looking so cute for a Spring party. Boy, I looked so happy! Also, I was brave not to be afraid of the clown, too. My mom was holding me as I blew the candles out. Another year, I had my first slumber party. That was so fun! I invited several friends and a cousin. It was so great to have m

Under the Trees (updated)

Last Sunday, my husband and I went to one of our local parks. It was a nice, sunny and warm afternoon but the breeze was just heavenly. We found a shady spot full of all types of trees and laid out and just relaxed. So here is a layout I did from that lazy Sunday. I scrap lifted this idea from Latrice Murphy's layout in the August 2014 issue of Paper Craft & Scrapbooking magazine on page 59. I saw the online copy and when I saw her layout, it went in my memory to try at some point. A great way to use up all those scraps I had sitting around, too. I love the wood grain paper paired with all the bright patterned paper.  We laughed as I took the "selfie" of us laying around. I splattered white gesso paint around. This little leather sticker was a fun touch. Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day! 7/25/14 After looking at this layout this morning I decided to add some gold glitter paper banners to really finish it off. Now I feel sati
