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

 

You sparkle

Good morning! How are you today on this chilllyy Saturday morning? I have something that will warm you up just a little ;) It's my turn over at the Marion Smith Designs Blog, and I made this wintery layout of my adorable niece Kassidy using the Garment District line and a white resin rose from Marion Smith!

 

I also used some other products I had on hand like papers by Fancy Pants Designs, some polka dot vellum, Thickers, and some Papertrey Ink snowflake dies cut out with white sparkly paper!

 

I used Marion's new white resin rose, isn't it gorgeous? They have new gigantor ones coming soon, I cannot wait to play with them! 

 

Make sure you get your hands on some of this Garment District Line before it's gone, it is so beautiful!

 

Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend!

Snow Day!!

Hey there! How are you on this glorious Sunday?! My poor little guy is sickie today so we missed church, I swear every person I know has some sort of sickness right now, even if it's just a cold! Ahh tis the season ;) So I have a fun project to share with you today! I bought this really cute picture frame from Kohl's at the beginning of the shopping season, it's covered in white jingle bells and dusted with a layer of sugar coating. (glitter. love.) I was saving it for something, I don't know what, and it dawned on me how cute it would be with a mini album attached to the front of it?! I have the new "Bundled Up" collection by Crate Paper, have you seen it? The colors are delish. Super cute! I thought that'd be perfect for a festive little album! I printed out some pics of my boys having a ball out in our yard after a huge snow, and this is what I came out with. Hope you likey ;)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Isn't that fun? It all came together really fast too! I wanted to make something simple and cute, just to get the memories documented, that is the real reason we scrap right? Woohoo! All you do is get a binding mechanism, like this one is a Tim Holtz one, and fill it with memories, then glue it into your frame. That's it!  I can't wait to put it out for people to enjoy. I think it is so cool to have little albums sprinkled throughout the house to look at! Memories are better when they are shared.  

 

Thanks for hangin out and go dig through your stash for an old picture frame that you can alter! It is so much fun!

 

Love, Rah xoxo

 

 

 

 

Trouble Makers!

Happy Happy Saturday! What a beautiful fall day! Any big plans for your weekend? I did but I have so much to do around the house I'm kinda just chillin at home, which is good too ;) I have another layout to share! Ok sooo my mom (Debbie) and my son (Kyle) have started this new thing where they love to make fun of me and then just start giggling away! They throw things at me, like I'm not talking like pillows or soft things of that nature, we're talking big honkin oranges and things like that! I'm like if you're gonna throw food at me, at least make it something with frosting so I have something tasty to lick off myself jeez. Anyhoo, here's the layout of the big bullies;

 

I used all new Heidi Swapp products, her new line Mixed Company and Navy Color Shine.

Also threw in some new American Crafts Thickers.

 

I made this little interactive piece to hide another picture and journaling, so easy you just fold a piece of paper over! Voila!

 

Some luscious layering;

 

In the collection there are these new adorable little rubons that resemble sequins, and I thought it would be cute to put mint green stars on every other hump on the white embossed frame! It looks super cute! Just a fun little tidbit ;)

 

If you just sprinkle some of the Color Shine on and then offset it with a few of the rubon sequins that looks really cute too! Adds some flat dimension.

 

So there ya have it! It feels so good to create some pages! I hate when you get in a busy rut in life and your head is constantly swimming with ideas and you just cant seem to sit and make something! That is one good thing about winter in Illinois is that you don't have the pressure of having to be outside all the time. I do love the outdoors, I just like to be inside too sometimes because that's where my scrap studio is lol!

 

So have a wonderful Saturday! Get busy and make something woodja?!

 

Thank you for stopping by!

 

Love Rah

Scrapfest 2013

It's Friday baby woohooo!! I cannot believe it's already been a week since I was partaying it up at Scrapfest! My mom and I went and had an absolute blast! I have so many pictures to share but for now I'm just going to share a layout with you. So at the Archiver's store at the Mall Of America where Scrapfest is held, they had all of the brand spankin new Heidi Swapp products including the new Color Shine and her new amazing line called "Mixed Company!" Sooo you could say I completely loaded up my basket grabbed a few things. It was so much fun to see Heidi and Maggie Massey! They are the sweetest! I am going to do a memory file of our weekend but I had to get my fix with the new products so I created this layout; (I literally started fussy cutting flowers in the car on the way home lol!)

 

Aren't these colors delicious?! This is the prettiest line and plus the new Color Magic matches perfectly! 

 

Here's some close ups;

 

 

The bow is a die cut from My Favorite Things;

 

I am kind of a freak about wings, I know that's kind of weird but I love putting them on people lol! Aren't they beautiful though? They are in the new Color Magic Ephemera, you get a ton of pieces to play with!

 

And of course some fussy cutting; 

 

Here are some of the new ephemera butterfly pieces from the Mixed Company line matched up with a silver glittery tag from Michael's and a new Color Magic Frame that was sprayed with Coral & Blush Color Shines;

 

Beautiful luscious layers...sigghhhhh..

 

Also new from the collection are these adorable little sequin rub ons!

 

More luscious layers with a glitter buzz word;

 

 

Isn't this the prettiest collection? I just love it! And thank you Heidi & Maggie for hangin this weekend, you are such dolls and I love you girls!!

 

Thank you for stopping by and have an amazing weekend!

 

Love, Rah
