HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!!!!

Hope everyone is enjoying the day.... I just wanted to remind everyone about the bog hop hosted by Treasure Box Designs. It will be happening just 7 days from today on March 24th. We have a lot of great prizes to give away..... I will have posted some terrific Easter layouts using some Treasure Box Designs cut files along with a give-away of my own.... Join us... I can't wait....

Lucky Me!!!!

I love this layout - Just in time for St. Patricks Day

 

This uses the Lucky Me file from Treasure Box Designs.

Beary Charming Tear Bears

This two page layout was completed by first creating the three Tear Bears from Mulberry Paper. If you have never done them - they are great fun. It's rewarding to see them come to life from a piece of paper. I then created the additional paper pieces and the glittered charms. I had a hard time trying to find paper that wouldn't clash with the colors of the charms yet still allowing the bears to pop off the page. I think using the white wash with the brown tones worked out perfectly. Kind of a shabby chic look.....

Boy Sleepover

With the help of a paper piecing file from Treasure Box Designs called Camp Out, I was able to create the following layout using paper from the BoBunny Collection called Camp - A - Lot. I had a great time piecing the boys together along with their pillows and sleeping bags. I also love the sign. I will also work on a treehouse for the girls that says "No Boys Allowed".

Wedding Bells

A handmade Wedding Album makes the perfect gift for the happy couple. There are always lots of photos even if they can't afford the professional ones. I completed the following layout for a friend to help her get started using the Wedding Collection cut file from Treasure Box Designs. The cut file is great because it has a lot of elements that are not included in this layout which give you an additional two or three sets of pages. Also, don't forget that wedding layouts don't have to be just black and white or silver or gold even. Don't forget to include the bridesmaids colors in your layouts as accents.

Hope everyone had a fantastic Valentines Day.... My husband was very sweet and had a dozen roses along with the greatest card ever waiting for me in my office when I got to work. The room smelled amazing when I walked in. He took me to my favorite steak place for dinner and let me have total control of the remote when we got home and snuggled on the sofa.

Hope you took pictures of your special day - Should you need some inspiration, following are some layouts I created recently using paper peicings from Treasure Box Designs.

This is a layout that uses a freebie file from Treasure Box Designs. What a great company to put out a free file that is actually usable. Love them....

 

Valentine's Day Box

My friend challenged me to create an award winning Valentines Box for an office competition. This is what I came up with - I sure hope she wins.....
