Kissy Face

Welcome back! I have a sweet layout for you today, using the "Love Notes" collection by Crate Paper! I just love this line, I love the soft delicious colors and the meaning behind it all. What's not to love about a holiday devoted just to the loved ones in your life?!

 

I  was trying to steal a smoochie for the pic but as soon as Beeb saw the camera that opportunity was history!

 

I love the prize ribbon look that's trending now, so I thought I'd create my own ;)

 

Lots of fun little sprinkles..

 

I love these little mint green frames by Webster's Pages so much I bought a whole pack of them instead of  getting the multi colored pack lol!

 

The collection has this great book print type of paper, but I wanted some of it pink so I sprayed a whole sheet down with the Blush Color Shine!

 

Super sweet. I just adore these colors! Pure delight.

 

Thank you for stopping by and have a lovely day!

 

Love, Rah xoxo

 

 

Beauty Call

Hey there loves! I have a super cute & simple card up at the Marion Smith Designs blog today! I used the beautiful Garment District line and some Junque & Gems pieces, all filled with glorious mint green lol!

 

I seriously want to hoard the little minty bling piece...

 

The pink fussy cut rose is from the Mad Tea Party line..

 

All I did was layer a few of the cut apart elements on the "Picture Perfect" paper, on top of a die-cut doily. Then just sprinkle on some Junque & Gems Pieces, and voila! Super cute and fast, perfect for a pinch! Here are the papers I used;

 

 

Just gorgeous colors Marion!

 

Well thank you for stopping by, have an amazing day!

 

Love, Rah xoxo

Happy Monday! It is the season of giving and I love making homemade gifts! If you're looking for a quick handmade gift for someone but can't spend a lot of money, grab a cheapy composition notebook, some gorgeous scrapbook products that you have on hand, and get to work! Here is what I came up with using the new Pink Paislee pad called "Noel" and the new Heidi Swapp Believe paper pad, a snowflake stencil, some gesso, and a few other tid bits!

 

Some other things I used are star sequins, Seafoam Color Shine, Pink Paislee label with resist, pinecone, starry vellum that I am currently addicted to, Heidi Swapp trim, K&Company letters, and a Tim Holtz frame and word sticker.

 

Wouldn't this be such a great prezzie for someone who likes to make lists or journal? Even a doodler!? Love.

 

Have a wonderful evening and I would love to see what you create!

On December 2oth I will be teaching a fun & festive class in which we will be documenting our favorite Christmas Traditions! The class will be held at Whimsy, a stunningly beautiful store located in historic downtown Morris IL.

Have you ever thought about how precious your family traditions really are? They are so much more than just baking cookies and decking the halls! They give us something to look forward to, they create a sense of belonging, and bind us to generations from the past. Traditions remind us of what is really important, and they create memories that will last a lifetime! Wouldn't it be fun to have these special memories documented where everyone can enjoy them? Come and create this festive mini album that fits snugly inside a beautiful frame, perfect for displaying on an end table or a mantle! People will love looking through it year after year. Call Whimsy at (815) 513-5600 to sign up quick, seats are very limited!!

 

**Cost for class is $45.00**

 

We will be using the Heidi Swapp Wooden Shadowbox Frame and Teresa Collins new Christmas line, Santa's List!

 

Please bring the following basic supplies;

 

-paper trimmer

-scissors

-hole punch/cropodile

-adhesive; tape runner, foam dots, fabri tac, glue dots

-favorite decorative edge punch

 

**Optional- bring some pictures of your favorite Christmas Traditions!** 

 

Hope to see you there, it's going to be a blast!

It's Fall Y'all!

Hi lovelies happy fall woohoo! Isn't it such a beautiful time of year? I just love it! Over at the Marion Smith Design's blog I have a fall-esqe card I made using the awesome new line called "Nirvana" plus some of Marion's other cool printables that are for sale on her website! Go check it out!

 

Marion has some printable rolled flowers in her shop that are so fun to make!

 

Adding a touch of burlap is always a good touch for fall papercrafting;

 

Grab some of your favorite letter stamps and use them on a grungy tag! Stop hoarding your stamps woman!

 

So go on over and check it out and get busy creating some fall goodies!

 

Thanks for stopping by!

 

Love, Rah

Be Soulful

Woah it's already Wednesday?! Woohoo for the short work week! ;) I'm sure you've seen the latest craze in altering paint brushes, and that's what our challenge for today was over at the Marion Smith Designs blog. It was so much fun! It was like working with a blank canvas, doing whatever popped into my imagination is what came out onto the brush. Here is what I came up with, using some of the beautiful papers from Marion Smith's shop!

I just love angels, so anytime I can throw a set of wings on something, that's what's gonna happen lol!

Some fussy cut flowers all nestled in from Marion's stunning new Nirvana collection coming out soon!

Wings from Prima Marketing, word stickers from Melody Ross, metal word is a jewelry finding from Michaels,

Hope you like it! I think my girl slid down a little so I was debating on adding a small crown above her, what do you think?

This would be a great swap or a gift for an artsy friend to hang in their studio! Maybe attach a little frame with your picture? Or have your kids decorate their own brush with their picture and hang it in your studio?! Ugh so cute!

I love art! And it's even more awesome when it has a special meaning to it, yes? I put the words "be soulful" to remind me to create things with a purpose, not just for the sake of making something pretty all the time.

Have an amazing artsy day and don't forget to go check out the other stunning brushes from the rest of the design team over at Marion's blog! What a fabulous team!

Love, Rah
