scrapping the night away!

Yikes...I stayed up til 3 a.m. last night scrapping! Do you ever get on a roll and just don't want to stop?! I can't wait to show you two projects that I did for Melissa Frances last night. I just can't say enough about their products, love love love 'em! One is for the Melissa Frances blog, so hopefully I can share those soon! Of course, Kati woke me up at 6:40 a.m. so now I'm a little sleep deprived, but that's O.K.! Who needs sleep?

Here are two projects made with the June kit at Create My Keepsake available here. I used the rub on swirls over the chipboard letters and sprayed the Glimmer Mist on the chipboard parentheses. Kati always scrunches up her face now when she says, "Cheeth!" (a.k.a. cheese)
You can click on the photos to see them closer.

And a dad card made with the kit also. Here I sprayed the letters and the felt with the Glimmer Mist. You can't tell from the photo so much, but it's a shimmery charcoal color, very glittery!

I also did a couple more projects for Pink Paislee! Added some of the mini heart stamps behind this little chipboard tree from Maya Road, a PP mini thanks stamp, some of my favorite PP paper called "Green Lace" and a vintage button!

This one is just a fun layout I thought I'd try! I loved the transparent circle by Pink Paislee, so I thought it would be cool to add photos around it of things/people that make me happy! Not sure it turned out the way I planned, but I still like it. :) Everything here is Pink Paislee except the little pink tag from Creative Cafe, background paper by American Crafts, and chipboard star is Melissa Frances.

Hope you are feeling productive too! Hugs! ~Danielle~

Life is a whirlwind!

Life has been so hectic lately! We finally finished our tile floor in the kitchen and entry...it looks awesome, very bright and cheery in there now that the green linoleum is gone, thank goodness! I painted the entry a warm brown color called "Darby Creek" and have been painting our new trim and baseboard moldings white. I really like the contrast it gives to the room and am so happy to get rid of the green! I think the nuetral color will be great for adding accessories from the different seasons and then I can change them out whenever I want.. I love to change things often, can you tell? There is still soooo much work ahead of us, but it's coming along nicely!

I wanted to pop in and share a couple of cards from the next card kit available at Right At Home Scrapbooking! Such a pretty kit with gorgeous trims, felt and some of the new papers from Basic Grey. I hope you will check it out! The card kit comes with instructions/photos for 5 cards. Also stay tuned for a mini album kit from me coming soon!
My hubby and I just celebrated our 9th anniversary...I can't believe it's been 9 years! I decided to make him a card with a wallet sized photo that I printed out from our wedding day..he looks so young in this picture. And I'm not that skinny anymore. LOL After 2 kids, I don't think I'll ever be the same!

Papers, rub on saying, and architectural pieces are all from Melissa Frances. LOVE these resin pieces!!! The quote says, "to the world you may be somebody, but to somebody you may be the world". Not to sound all sappy, but even though we have our differences, he's such a great catch and compliments me in ways that I didn't know I needed. ha Definitely makes me the person I am today.

I appreciate you stopping by today! Thanks for all your nice comments!
Hugs! ~Danielle~

Love me some stamps!

Made a couple more things I thought I'd share today with the awesome Inque Boutique stamps that I received this month over at Create My Keepsake! I loved working with them and adding whatever papers we wanted with them. I found a new square punch at Michael's the other day, so I had to try it out on this card too. (think I need more!) Stamps are from the Inque Boutique See D's Birdies collection.
This is a little address book/notes holder I found at the dollar store (gotta love a bargain!). I dressed it up with some Jenni Bowlin die cuts, Prima - Morning Song papers, Melissa Frances chipboard and trim and more of the Birdies stamps from Inque Boutique! (click photos to see them larger)


Do you love to stitch? I am so into stitching on everything lately! I made this little pocket purse project for the Pink Paislee blog yesterday using some of their mini stamps and stitched right over the design! You can read more about it here at the Pink Paislee blog. My girls love it and were fighting over it, so I think I need to make another one quick! I really want to give this a try to add a design to a pair of jeans or one of Kati's little sweaters. How fun to make! Wouldn't it be sweet to personalize a baby onesie to add to a special gift basket for an expecting friend?


That's about it for today! Don't forget to check out the May card kit available at CMK right now! It's a great one if you have cards to create for upcoming birthdays. Have a sweet day and thanks for visiting me today! HUGS!
