new releases 3.10

hey everyone... sorry for being so quiet here!  We've got someone who is turning 4 soon in our house, so we've been birthday party preparing, cleaning, & also just running lots & lots of errands & going to appointments!  ahhh, you know, life :)  anyway, I managed to get a few kits out for you this week as well!  I hope they'll be ones you can go to again & again! 

yep, that's right, I love me some vintage, love ledger & office-type goodies!  This is a set I've been wanting to create for a while... inspired by some old ledgers & some just that I thought could be useful.

& another good basic chipboard alpha!

Here are some layouts to inspire you from creative Shelley...

& one from me...

& check out this awesome hybrid project Shelley made with both the ledger papers & the chipboard letters:

wanna know how to make these?  Shelley's put up a little tutorial on her blog!

-enjoy!

Oh & just want to send out a big congrats to DHD's amazing Jen Allyson & Spencer Nugent on their super cute creation of baby Oliver {Ollie}!  The little guy arrived exactly on his due date yesterday afternoon.  I'm so excited for them!

new releases 2.17

may I introduce: Kraft.Party! It's no secret I have an obsession with things such as Kraft paper & Chipboard... & I don't think I'm the only one ;)  So here's some more goodies to feed that obsession...

be still my heart... hybrid layered paper flowers with vintage embellishments & ticket stems by Shelley Haganman.

hope you enjoy your day... it's supposed to be a heat wave here today... already 54 degrees at 6 am with a high in the 60s... pure bliss for us here in the midwest!  Miss Lydia & I even got out to do some bubble blowing yesterday on the porch!  Of course I had to get it out the camera & scrapbook it too...

I had totally been wanting to scraplift miss Allison's layout & thought the bubble theme would be a good one to use the circular type on!  {credits}

I also want to give a shout out to creative Shelley for being chosen for the Layout of the Week at DHD this week! I know she's amazing & I'm glad everyone else thinks she is too :)  congrats girl!

digital heart print

Last weekend we spent the weekend packing up & putting away our Christmas decor & Lydia was not so happy about this :)  I told her we'd make up some Valentine's Day decorations to put up around the house, so I thought I'd show you a little of what I'd done.  I started with this print...

you could do one up like this too if you have a program like photoshop or photoshop elements. All I did was open up a new file 8.5x11 inches & I had a heart shape from one of my kits that I used for a clipping mask.  Basically I kept duplicating the heart layer & placed them how I wanted them until I filled the area I wanted to use {I did mine so it would fit in a 8x10 frame with extra room around}.  Then I picked my papers... I used Jen Allyson's Vintage Findings Pink Paris & Antique Prints Digital Papers.  I clipped a the papers sort of in a random order in each heart until I got the "look" I wanted.  Next I added the stitching over them.  For this I used my In Stitches Neutral Basics kit {this one's the tan straight stitch}.  For the background I used the lined paper from my Feels Like Home September kit & then added the Plain paper from Jen's Antique Prints kit over top as an overlay.  With a little drop shadow on the hearts, it looks just like you cut them all from "real" paper with no mess!  I just love how it turned out & it looks so sweet in my chunky distressed black frame that I revolve my seasonal prints in.  I hope you'll try one for yourself!
