The one with a kit

The new Catch the Moments Vintage Kit that is :)
Isn't it pretty!

Its filled with AC and BG goodies! The new AC classics line mixed with BG Curio.
And look at those thickers... patterned canvas thickers... and yes you get a whole set in this kit!

Unfortunately this is not the kit I will be working with this month for the DT.... but fortunately she will be sending some other awesome goodies to work with! I can't wait to get them. I also ordered some extra Thickers and ribbon for her site. Honestly the best prices on Thickers and Dear Lizzy rose ribbon I have seen.

So head on over and check it out. Devon is super nice so just shoot her an e-mail if you have any questions. Also.... she is working on a real website for the store that will go up soon. Very excited for that as well :)

Last night I finished up the journaling on the two layouts I made at the crop this weekend. So now I can post them! Hopefully there will still be sunlight when I get home tonight to photograph them... sigh... I hate leaving and coming home from work in the dark!!

Have a great day!

The one with some Pink Paislee

I have been anxiously awaiting the Parisian Anthology release from Pink Paislee since I saw it at CHA. It is so pretty! I love how white and clean it is, but then you can add your own pop of color. I wanted this layout to be very simple and pretty. I love how it turned out.

I used the Tim Holtz distress inks around the edge of the page. This color matched perfect with the ribbon trim. I used it in a circle behind the beautiful Prima flower with feathers!! The chipboard letters are from Pink Paislee's Queen Bee line.
The paper that I used as a matting here is one of the new Hambly vellum papers. I inked the back with the Tim Holtz distress ink as well to give it more contrast against the white paper.

These little flowers might be my new favorite thing right now. They came white with a bit of wire for the stem. I used my glimmer mists to make them match my page. They turned out great, love that they have hints of white still. These little flowers can be found at Scrappy Chic in the embellishment bar! 3 sizes only $0.15 each! Plus they come in like 10 colors. I am going to stock up on the white for sure :)

Have a great day!

The one with some Golf

Hi All!!

Today was a very fun day filled with most of my favorite things - shopping, scrapping and eating at my favorite Detroit haunts! Jess, Krysti and I met up with Angela and Mary over at Scrappy Chic for the crop.... on the way we hit up Home Goods and lunch at Potbelly's (yum!). After the crop we went to Nikki's pizza for dinner (ordered extra to bring for lunch tomorrow too!).

The only thing left on my list of favorite things to do would be Golf!

So here is a layout I did of the 4 of us girls golfing up in Interlochen, Mi. Julia and Liv are just starting out... but they both did very well. Tamar was an excellent cart driver ;)

Some Bo-Bunny Olivia here mixed with embellishments from BG Green at Heart!
Love how this ribbon idea turned out. AC ribbon stitched in place. Can you tell I am addicted to sewing on my layouts :) It just doesn't feel done to me without it!

Can't believe that the weekend is over already! Back to work tomorrow. This week I have a feeling will be super busy but I hope to post some of the layouts I made today at the crop. I got 2 whole layouts done... and I'm happy with that :)

Have a great night,

The one with some Exciting News!

Yes I have some exciting news to share! On Friday I was asked to be on the Catch The Moments Kits Design Team! Devon's kits look really great and so well priced too :) I can't wait to see what will come in our first kit!! yay!! Head on over and check out the blog. She also sells new products as well as kits.... she has some new BG Curio in... and some new Thickers! (check out her price on Thickers -- 15% less than MSRP! -- and buy 10 get 1 free)

Now on to a LO... what... I know its crazy I haven't posted one in so long! lol

Almost a month ago now (I can't believe that!) we went to our friends cottage in Interlochen, Mi. It was so pretty. The setting, the town, the cottage, the whole place was decorated just beautifully! This line from Lily Bee was just perfect for the feeling of the cottage.

Close up of the layered flower.... Prima crochet flower with a cute mini BG bloomer!
This will be up at Scrappy Chic soon! I will be there scrapping Sunday actually :) Meeting up with fellow DT member Angela and Mary (who came to CHA with me!). I think we will have a good time. Its a free crop so come on by if you are in the area!

Hope you are having a great weekend!

The one with some explaining to do

Where the heck have I been??? Well its been crazy around here! Good crazy though.

I have been working full time (which is great!!!) and renovating our house. The basement to be exact. As well as fixing up the other stuff that we tend to live with and not notice until we really look at it.

We fell in love with a new house, in the town that we love. Now this would be a good thing... but you can't fall in love with another house when you still have your house, especially when your house is not near ready to sell. So we have been working all day and then coming home and working all nights and weekends on the house.

Not leaving too much time for crafty stuff. But I did sit down and get my DT layouts done for Scrappy Chic. Once I get them photographed I will share them here. In the meantime, I will share the pics that Angela took of my new kit! She is the best :) She took pics to send to me so I would know what I had to work with when we meet up for a crop on Sunday. Scrappy Chic has free crops on Sunday from 12-6.... so come on by and join us if you are in the area!

Here is what my new kit has.... can't tell what paper line that is on the right hand side... thinking doodlebug?? Lots of good embellishments this time around as well :)

Thanks for the sneak peek Angela :)
