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

 

 

So Lucky To Have You!

Hey happy happy Sunday! I woke up to a beautiful landscape of rolling snowy drifts sprinkled with tiny specks of glitter, one of Gods greatest gifts to me lol! I love that! It's so pretty it makes up for the coldness ;) I finally got my mitts on some of the new Colorshine Cards at Michaels by Heidi Swapp. I spent the whole darn day a few hours playing in the midst of shiny clouds of color yesterday and came up with some fun idears for them! The first one I'm going to show you is kinda weirrrrrd, being that it's just now turning February. I had this stinkin St. Patty's Day card in my head so I just bit the bullet and made it lol!

 

I do have the regular green Colorshine called "Chartreuse" but I didn't want it to be that dark, so I sprayed the Mustard & Teal together and let it sit and pool together, then blended it with my paper towel, which seems to be what made the magic happen.

 

The rest is just fun little details! I ran the little journaling die cut spot through my big shot with the word "lucky" die cut which is from Papertrey Ink. I love these new letter stamps from Lawn Fawn, so cute!

 

If you're wondering where the clovers came from, they are the back petals of one of the Colorshine flowers at Michaels, just tore them babies right off and sprayed them down! Cut them in half and you have yourself some clovers ;)

 

If you;ll notice on the tab below, there are some subtle music notes...

 

 

I wanted to add some visual interest without it being too busy, but don't freak if you don't have the perfect color ink to match, this is a quick fun tip that will work EVERY TIME!!

 

All you need is a stamp and your Versamark Watermark Stamp!

 

 

All you do is after you Colorshine, stamp your image in the watermark ink, then just let it sit and dry, don't do anything to it! It will dry just a tad bit darker than your background color, and it's the perfect color every time ;)

 

 

Isn't that awesome?! Love it!

 

I have some more cards to share, so stay tuned! Thanks for stopping by!

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

 

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
