I do have one more MLS project to share! I totally forgot to post this layout from last month! MLS partnered with the fabulous sketch site Pencil Lines. This was my take on one of the sketches. You can see the post on their blog HERE.

Last month we also partnered with Tattered Angels! You can see one of their Bingo cards here. I used it as a photo mat and sprayed it with mist!!!



This photo will help you see the layering and depth of the flowers!! :)


I didn't have chipboard alphas in the pink color I wanted. So I just sprayed what I had with the pink Tattered Angels mist! I think it is such a cool effect!!! You can see it with the word "bun" in my title.

Just one more shot of the layered flowers (bottom one sprayed with the blue mist from Tattered Angels) along with the Bingo card I used as the photo mat.

And here is the final layout! I rarely scrap myself but I decided this baby needed it's first layout! ;)


Have a fabulous Father's Day!!
Be Blessed!!!

My Little Shoebox Farewell Blog Hop

The My Little Shoebox team is doing a blog hop today to say good bye to outgoing team members (I am one of them!) and celebrate the new team (YAY!!).

And I am the first stop on the Hop!!!!


The "old" team has created all kinds of fun projects to share today!
And it would not be a blog hop without prizes of course!!
So you need to check out all of our blogs & leave a comments on those that are giving away prizes! Mine included! I will be giving away a bunch of amazing MLS overlays and mini alphas to a random winner that posts a comment on my blog!!!
Fabulous!!
So make sure you follow along the blog hop and check out all the blogs!


So here are my last "official" My Little Shoebox projects...
{*sniff*}{*sniff*}


This month I worked with the Away We Go line. And first up is a tri-fold card!!!

*********************************************************** My second project is a mini album! I picked up these chipboard cars quite some time ago at Michael's for dirt cheap! And I thought they seemed perfect for this mini! I created it for my dear friend who is traveling to California as we speak! She isn't a scrapbooker but I wanted her to have a way to save her family's vacation memories. So I made a journal box for each day of the trip where they can write a list of what they did that day. The next page has journaling spot for each of the family members to record their favorites of that day! I hope they are enjoying it!!!

So comment away!! The next stop on the hop is Robyn's Blog!!!!!!
And do not forget to check out the My Little Shoebox blog and leave a comment there too!
Have fun!
Be Blessed!

My Little Shoebox + Punky Sprouts + Tattered Angels Part 2

Here is Part 2 of my mini album for My Little Shoebox. Today I want to show you what I did with the Tattered Angels products!!!

This fun Punky Sprouts album had some canvas pages. These were perfect for spraying with the Tattered Angels mists! I also used their fun masks...can you see them to the left of the left photo and under the right photo?
This was a pancake Kennedy poured. She thought it looked like a bird from her bird book so we had to compare them!!!!


This is another page where I was able to use the Tattered Angels sprays and masks! I used two different colors and loved the effect!!
Another strip showing the Tattered Angels fun!
Kennedy's drawings!!!


The blue background on this page is just white cardstock sprayed with Tattered Angels mist!!!

Thanks for taking a peek at my album!!!! Have a blessed day!

My Little Shoebox + Punky Sprouts + Sakura Part 1

My Little Shoebox has been pairing with some amazing companies lately! I wanted to show you two of them today. This mini album is created by Punky Sprouts. It is so fun! It is chipboard, canvas and acrylic all mixed up! Below is a curved acrylic page!

For this month I used the Just Add Butter line from My Little Shoebox! So fun and extra cute!




We also paired up with Sakura. I was truly blown away by these pens! They are the Glaze line. I expected the flow to be lacking and the color to bleed. Boy, was I wrong!!!!!! The flow with these pens are wonderful!!!! If you hold the tip in one spot for more than a second or two it will start to pool up. But with regular writing this rarely happens. The colors were much brighter than I had expected! The coolest part is that they have a wet look when they are completely dry! And they create a raised image when finished. I was able to write on patterned paper, canvas and the amazing MLS overlays! Impressive!!!!



Here is what Kennedy drew using the Sakura pens!
In this photos you can see the pink on the MLS overlay!


These photos just really don't do these pens justice!!!


I will have the rest of the photos of this mini album soon along with some Tattered Angels goodies!!!

My Little Shoebox + Tattered Angels + Punky Sprouts + Sakura

2 Cards

Just wanted to share the last 2 cards I created!

This first one was made using the May kit from The Sampler. I sanded the butterlies on the Core'dinations cardstock and used a punch for the black borders. The script paper is by 7 Gypsies. I used my own stamp on the journaling card. The lace and button come in the kit too!

Just a shot of the inside. Again, the stamp is from my own stamp.

And the back....you can see the cool butterflies in the cardstock!

***********************************************************************

This second card was created using the Just Add Butter line from My Little Shoebox. I thought it made a cute little Mother's Day card!! I handcut the teapot and cupcake from the paper. The pink wave on the bottom and green polka dots are die cuts.

This is the inside. Another hand cut cupcake! The die cut and mini stickers are My Little Shoebox too!

Stay tuned for the May challenge at The Sampler! It will be coming on Sunday!
