Lil Monster

I wanted to share my latest project using My Little Shoebox! The line is called Imaginary Friends and I love it! The colors are right up my alley! I decided to create a little project board for my cousin, Kay. It features her little guy, Owen! Itsn't he the cutest?! So, surprise Kay! You will get it at the baby shower next week!!!


I started by painting the board a butter yellow to match the line. Then I cut squares for each square. From there I just embellished to my heart's content! It was sooooo fun!!! Don't you just love the little bird in the corner?! I added a googly eye just for fun!

What a sweet face Owen has!

These little critters/monsters are so versatile! And of course the MLS chipboard is a favorite of mine!

And finally a view of the entire board!

I will be back soon with more My Little Shoebox projects AND some Sampler layouts!!!!

Layers of Color & Fun News!

Didn't I tell you I was in an altering mood?? Well, I did a fast altering project this week! I was running out of room in my current journal I use for church. I had purchased an alterable journal at Archivers months ago, just knowing I was going to use it for this purpose eventually!

I used one of the crosses from Layers of Color's Gothic Crosses set. I love them all!!! But for this I chose one of the larger ones. I used some of my all time favorite My Mind's Eye papers as well as some Doodlebug letter stickers and October Afternoon rub ons. Don't forget that Layers of Color is having a HUGE Release Party November 14-15! You can find out more details HERE!

Spooky!!!!

Are you all feeling like Fall has finally arrived? Even though it has been plenty warm here, I still feel fall on its way!!! The mornings are cool, some leaves are beginning to change, school is back in session and football games fill our home on the weekend!!!

This month for Clip It Up I decided to do another altered project. And I was feeling fallish so I went the Halloween route! From last year I had a spooky tree and a wooden sign that I never got around to altering. So I did this year!!!

I made 3 cards using some fun Halloween products from Making Memories and K & Company.







For the Trick or Treat sign, I painted it black. Then I added lots of yummy glitter!!!! Around the wire I tied lots of fun ribbon! Then I added a few K & Company die cuts!
For the tree, I also used black paint. Then I added lots of fun K & Company die cuts. Kennedy adores the tree! She takes all the ornaments off and puts them back in a new place!!!


Coming Soon.....My Little Shoebox Projects!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
