A new friend and a new venture!

 

 

Hello there lovely crafty peeps!

 

I have some exciting news to share with you all!

I met a lovely lady through Collective Journey --the scrapbook store in Redlands that I teach at. About a month ago after  seeing my cards at the store and visiting my blog and seeing that I do graphic designing Lisa contacted me to ask if I'd be interested in designing stamps for her company The Crafts Meow. I said yes!

 

Here's Lisa and I at Collective Journey this past Wednesday!

 

 

I'm very excited about this. Keep an eye out for sneak peeks.. coming very soon on

 The Crafts Meow Blog!!!

 

 



A Masculine Card to share!

 

Hi there everyone!

 

It's time for a new post at the Little Darlings Blog. I've decided to go with a masculine card. This will actually be the card we will be making for July's class at Collective Journey in Redlands, California.

If you are interested in coming to one of my classes check out my sidebar. I also offer classes at ONLINE at Color me Creative!

 

I wanted to make a sunset and really use some deep colors. I absolutely LOVE the way this came out. It's so much better in person, I've used 3d foam dots on all the layers so this card really POPS!

 

I hope you like my card.

Have a great day!!

In this layout I used Memories Captured and the Wonderful Day Collection. I've also used the new Cork Labels. These are so much fun to use and look great on layouts.. they give so much dimension!! I love them!!!  I can't wait to get the kit out and make something else with it..:)

 

In this layout I used Memories Captured Collection Kit, Memories Captured Stickers Fundamentals, Memories Captured Labels Stickers, A Wonderful Day Cream Alphabets, A Wonderful Day Button Set, Cork Label Stickers

 

If you haven't been over to the Fancy Pants Designs Blog lately you should really pop on over there. These ladies are amazing. I get so inspired seeing all of their beautiful work. I'm still amazed to be on this team ♥

Summer is here!

 Hey everyone!

I hope you all had a fabulous week.
I had my class at This and Thank on Wednesday and this card I'm posting today is going to be my card for July's class. This image is called Summer. I just love the dark richness of this
Fancy Pants Designs Down by the Shore collection.

 I wanted to show the ladies in my class how to deepen and increase creases. I think this mage is perfect for starters with this technique. I hope they like it.

If you're in the area you should join us. The information is in my sidebar!
Well I'm working tonight and tomorrow night. I'm off Sunday.. YAY! :)

Have a great weekend all!

Here's a layout I made using my Fancy Pants Designs Down by the Shore Collection.

I took these photos of my girls during their Spring Break. We had a little heat wave and it was in the 90's that week and since we don't have the pleasure of going to a pool I turned on the sprinkles and let them run wild! It was fun. I love the little expressions on their faces in these photos.

 

I used Fancy Pants Designs Down by the Shore Collection Kit. Down by the Shower banner die cuts, Down by the Show label stickers,  Down by the Shore brag pad, Down by the Shore title pieces, Down by the Shore button set, Down by the Shore pennants, 

 

I love this collection the papers work great with the beach theme or just a regular ole layout.

Don't you just love versitality!? ♥
