Today I am 2

You would think I had three birthdays this month with all the projects I've been doing.  The only birthday in our house in March is my own!!  I guess I just got behind and on a roll once I started.  Check this page out.  You may remember the photo on my blog last month.

"Today I am 2"

Supplies:  Paper (My Mind's Eye), Stickers (SRM Stickers & Pink Paislee), Flowers (Purple Pumpkin & Prima), Folders (Kaisercrafts),  Tag (Elle's Studio), Misc. Buttons

This burlap (or hessian as they call it) lollipop flower is one by Purple Pumpkin.  I just love all the different textures they use on them.  Earlier this month, I posted a page using one made of vinyl and canvas.  So fun!

You might also  notice the zigzag stitch around the border.  That is a sticker by SRM Stickers.  I love how quick and easy it was to create the stitched look with that one. 

I'll leave you with that for today.  Have a wonderful Thursday!

Make a Wish - Smash Book

In keeping with the unintentional birthday theme this month, I created my first ever Smash book using one from Amy Tangerine's collection. 

Supplies:  Album, Paper (Amy Tanerine), Stickers (SRM Stickers), Chipboard, Ribbon Slide (Maya Roads), Twine (The Twinery), Die Cuts (Jenni Bowlin, Maya Roads)

This type of project lends itself so nicely with the SRM sticker brand.  They have quotes, titles, photos and sayings perfect for any occasion.  Check out the first couple of pages:

Check out the full album on the SRM blog today and while you're there take a browse through their online store.  There is a sticker for everything!

Thanks so much for visiting!

It's your birthday and it's all about YOU!

The title of this page suits my philosophy on birthdays perfectly.  On your birthday, it's all about YOU!  Thanks to pinterest, I get all kinds of different ideas on how to make that happen.  This page highlights one of those ideas.  We covered the ceiling over Julia's bed with balloons on her fourth birthday.  Even though many of them fell by morning, the effect was the same. She woke up in a sea of ballons and she was absolutely thrilled.  We got a request to have the same done for Callie when her birthday came.

  Supplies:  Paper (My Mind's Eye), Stickers (SRM Stickers), Die cut (Jenni Bowlin), Buttons/Flower (Purple Pumpkin) Twine (The Twinery)

We had a "Princess for  Day" theme for the birthday party so the day was filled with all things girly and pink.  These Purple Pumpkin embellishments suit the theme perfectly.

There are a number of SRM Stickers on the page.  They really do have a sticker for every occasion.  I love that because they are clear, I can use them on most any surface including photos.

I'll leave you with that for today. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Cookin' With Mom

This project is up on the SRM Stickers blog today.  There is alot of cooking with Mom that goes on around here so it seems only fitting to make a page about it.

"Cookin' With Mom"

Supplies:  Paper (Sassafrass Lass, Jenni Bowlin), Stickers (SRM Stickers), Letters (Jenni Bowlin, Prima), Flower (Jolee's), Border Sticker (Doodlebug Inc.), Felt Flower (Queen & Co.), Diecuts (Jenni Bowlin, Lilly Bee)

I just love the assorment of cooking stickers availalbe through SRM Stickers.  I mounted these title letters onto cardstock and then raised them with foam tape to add some dimension.  There is such great vesatility doing that.  It also allows you to move your stickers around until you are happy with the placement before adhering.

Be sure to visit the SRM Stickers blog every day for all kinds of fun and unique ways to use stickers.

Check back with me on Thursday for another layout. 

Happy Spring!

Grammie & Me

I made this page for the Purple Pumpkin blog today.  I just love the colours of this Amy Tangerine line.  What a fun line to work with and well the photo is pretty special, too.

"Grammie & Me"

Supplies:  Paper (American Crafts), Lollipop Flower (Purple Pumpkin Crafts), Letters (Basic Grey & Prima), Trim (Websters), Sticker (SRM Stickers), Transparency (Simple Stories), Film Strip Ribbon (Tim Holtz), Tape (Pink Paislee), Die Cut (Jenni Bowlin Studios), Tag (Maya Roads)

This awesome Purple Pumpkin lollipop flower is a mix of canvas and vinyl.  I just love the book print paper layer on this one with the mix of textures.  So fun and easy to work with.

Look for more projects with this paper line real soon.  In the meantime, check back tomorrow as I will have a post up on the SRM Stickers blog.

Just Like Mom

Happy March!  Being the first day of the month, a new sketch challenge is posted on the Purple Pumpkin blog and here is my take.  I think this is my most favourite photo of my youngest daughter.  She was playing with a bag of beads when just now she came out all decked out like this.  I couldn't help but snap a photo.

"Just Like Mom"

Supplies:  Paper (Bo Bunny & Pink Paislee), Flowers (Prima), Buttons & Doily (Purple Pumpkin), Trim (Websters), Pin (Jillibean Soup), Calendar Spot (Elle's Studio), Bling (Zva Creative), Letters (Prima, Websters Pages)

I just love the texture the fabric gives to the buttons.
