I am really, really loving My Mind's Eye products lately. I just ordered some of their new things - take a peek here at Two Peas...their new lines really hit it out of the park for me this time! What do you think?

Speaking of My Mind's Eye, I found a layout that I made a long time ago that I forgot to share made with their doily stamps - I think maybe they were from the Stella Rose collection.....

I stamped them randomly on the page and then added journaling to each - one thing I love about Taylor in each little stamped image! She won't let me take many pictures of her anymore, so I grabbed this photo from last Valentine's Day. I want her to know how much I love her and her fun attributes!

The ink pads here are by Jenni Bowlin - Chewing Gum (pink), Lemon Drops (yellow) and Cough Syrup (red).

I just finished some projects for a guest spot next month and can't wait to share them - love how they turned out! I'll be back soon. Have a great day! xo

Yesterday I had the chance to play around with my Silhouette Cameo for a few minutes. Santa brought me one for Christmas, and I was a little intimidated to open it and get it going. BUT...it actually turned out to be super simple, and I'm wishing I would have tackled it sooner!

These are called the Decorative Circles by Karla Dudley from the Silhouette Digital Designs Shop. I cut the heart circle with a Melon Berry cardstock and the hello circle with Pure Poppy cardstock, then layered them together. I backed the circles with Basic Grey paper from the Konnichiwa line. Chevron paper is Nantucket by Pink Paislee, polkadot paper is Aqua Mist patterned paper. Background cardstock is Ocean Tides.

I stamped the background with a "just thinking of you" stamp from the Mat Stack 2 Collection with Hawaiian Shores ink and True Black ink. Loving the Cameo - and all you can do with it!

My girls are off school this week for a winter break, so I've been trying to keep them busy with swimming at the Y, sleepovers, doctor appointments for Kati (she has to have her tonsils out soon). Going to the Children's Museum today and having grandma over for her birthday dinner... busy, busy. Next week things should be back to our normal schedule! :)

I love making cards, but I'll admit, I do find it easier to make a girly one. I struggle with manly cards every time! So...I tried to step outside my box and create a couple of "boy" cards. I gave this one to my husband for his birthday. Love the sentiments on the front {I think he liked them too - I saw a smile on his face!}...

A simple card here made with the Movers & Shakers Sentiments stamps on the kraft cardstock! I blended in some Funky Town paper (chevron) and the new Aqua Mist patterned paper.

I think brads are making a come back! They remind me of the whole confetti trend, which I love, so fun and festive! I plan to make more fun things with brads...
