Last of the Valentines...

This girl loves her candy!!! Now..I only have to get her to visit the dentist!!!



Wow! It's the end of Feb. I thought I would get this post in before it turns into March and all the hearts, candy, and flowers of Valentine's Day become a distant memory...I did a bunch of Valentine's layouts using my AMM Feb. Kit and some bits and pieces from from my stash.






This layout was greatly inspired from a layout I saw in the Jan/Feb Memory Makers. I dug out some older papers and this old MME bird transparency..



Speaking of inspiration, I get so many ideas from magazines. This layout from last year's Scrapbook Trends struck me as very similar to a photo I had just developed of my daughter and some supplies I had picked up in Michael's from the MM Chloe's Closet line.
I can't take credit for the layout, but I thought I would share it anyway...



In other news, my Feb. Bad Girls kit arrived..Once again, Wendy puts together a fabulous kit..She always supplies so many papers and keeps her kits chock full of great embellishments.

Here's two layouts from the kit..


That's it for now...So long Feb.!!!
Bring on Spring!!!

Happy Early Valentines Day!

I know it is a few days early, but I wanted to wish everyone a very happy Valentine's Day.
My daughter has a little party at her school tomorrow so I made her teacher a little present using a Maya Road lunchbox that I altered.

The front has a Maya Road chipboard heart/wings that I crackled and glittered and added some buttons to. I made a little keychain attached to the heart using some Prima blossoms and some die-cut tags from K & Co.
On the back, I adhered a piece of BG patterned paper, as well as some layered flowers and another die-cut. Along the top and the box border, I layered, adhered, and tied a bunch of pink, brown, and white ribbons to it.
The best part about the box though, are the sweet treats inside. There are three different varieties of Hereshey's Kisses: Hot Cocoa, NY Cheesecake, and Peanut Butter. Yum!!

In the spirit of Valentine's Day, I did two layouts using some stuff I had in last year's V-day stash, as well as, the awesome February "A Million Memories" kit.


Have a Sweet V-day!!!

Vintage Styling

Everything old is new again isn't it?? It is just amazing how much we all gobble up the retro-vintage scrapbooking supplies. The trend is far from over as I know many of us (myself included) are anxiously awaiting the new arrivals from Jenni Bowlin, Melissa Francis, 7 Gypsies, etc... Even a lot of the major lines are devoting some time and energy to retro, like K & Company's "Cut & Paste" and Sassafrass' "Vintage Yummy". I love using vintage for both my own old photos, as well as, the latest and greatest pictures. It just adds that timeless quality to our scrapbooks. Just my opinion...

Here are a couple of layouts from the January "A Million Memories" Kit:
They definitely use quite a bit of vintage-inspired touches.

Love the lace, pearl, old key look. So soft and sweet.

Those little Jenni Bowlin birdies made me think of my little one when she was a little chickie.


Use my MS Lace punch to add to the vintage feel of these papers and am still loving that JB crepe ribbon...

That is all today..Have a great Thursday!
