Project Life :: Weeks 3 & 4

Hi Everyone!

I've been meaning to share this for awhile now... thus far I've been keeping up with my PL project on a weekly basis; mostly on Sundays as I look back on the week.  Unfortunately I haven't been very good in sharing it here... promise to do better....

First up is week 3 - this was pretty much lazy kind of week, did a bit of spring clean and then more shopping... more scrapbook supplies and also went on a crazy hunt for brown shoes (have no idea why now, remember wanting to get a pair of brown shoes but strangely ended up with 3 - yes crazy me)...



(so happy I found this cupcake store... love their red velvet!)











And for week 4 - the main highlight of the week was the Laneway Festival.  Spending the entire day out in (the blazing) sun listening to some awesome music.





And some random things through out the week... yes more shopping and enjoying some truffle goodness... LOL





Thanks for stopping by everyone and hope you guys have a wonderful weekend!

Guesting for Color Conspiracy & a Giveaway! *CLOSED*

Hi Everyone!

This month I had the honor to guest design for Color Conspiracy (thank you Maya for this amazing opportunity) and worked with two of their amazing collections: Daily Kate and Texturize (the layouts here are created using the gorgeous Daily Kate collection).  I just love the color combination - blue, yellow and gray and the fun graphic designs of the pattern papers and had these created in no time...

Having some fun with the cameo and with my favorite butterfly punch from EK Success... and yes more sequins!

For my second layout, I kept things simpler but still went with the circular design and was inspired by the blue pattern paper ... love the sun burst and paint splatters designs (I also added more of my own with the studio calico white mist). 

and am totally addicted to the various wood embellishments and using these in almost all of my projects at the moment...

Hopefully I've inspired you a bit and don't forget to get your dose of color conspiracy.  I have a few more projects to share here but for the mean time, don't forget to check out the blog post on the color conspiracy blog HERE.

Also wanted to share some color conspiracy goodies with one lucky reader here. Interested in some awesome cards and flairs? Do leave me a comment on this blog post by midnight Sunday Feb 24th.

Thanks everyone for stopping by!!!

Some Crate Paper Fourteen Love

Hi Everyone!

Got a few more projects to share that were recently posted on the Crate Paper blog... using the gorgeous and super sweet Fourteen collection.  The first one here is a little something I created using an old frame that I found at the market. It didn't come with a backing but used one of the pattern papers and good old washi tape (that way, I can change it without damaging the paint work).



I just adore the mix of colors in this collection and honestly it would be perfect for anything (not only valentine projects)...



Some details on the layering and it looks amazing on the wall over my couch...



Also sharing a few valentine cards that were also created using the Fourteen collection... along with some doilies and of course some with the help of the cameo...





Thanks everyone for stopping and hope you guys had/have a great weekend!

Webster's Pages Modern Romance Love

Happy Valentine's Day Everyone!  Hope you guys are having a super sweet day spending with those you love and/or treating yourself to a little something special...

And to add on the sweetness, thought I would share some projects I've recently created using Webster's Pages newest collection Modern Romance. Gorgeous colors and patterns right?



Having some fun layering away.... check out the mini bags and washi tapes in this collection!



A few more details...



And here's a fun mini album that I created using cardstock as the base and having each of the page being a little longer the previous. This way, I can add embellishments to the sides without having to worry that they would get damage (as they stick out).



Once again using those fun mini bags which are perfect storing all those little extras or tags...



and sharing a few more close ups...





Thanks everyone for stopping by and more details on these projects please see blog posts HERE (layout) and HERE (mini album). Happy Valentine's Day!

Guesting for Little Yellow Bicycle & Giveaway! *CLOSED*

So excited to share that I'm guesting for Little Yellow Bicycle this month and got a chance to work with their gorgeous "Just Because" collection. I just adore the combination of colors in this collection - from the navy blue to the mix of pink, purple and turquoise. Also how can you not love the amount and variations of embellishments that you can find in Little Yellow Bicycle collections... love love love!

Sharing here few close ups of the layout that I created based on this sketch challenge this month. Full details HERE along with the sketch used. Hope you guys join on the fun and can't wait to see your take on the sketch!



Don't you love love the different elements in this collection and also the touches of silver here and there! And as you can tell, I went absolutely silver crazy on this layout and even added in silver sequins!  LOL



And thought I would share some "Just Because" goodies with a lucky reader here (as the Little Yellow Bicycle folks were very generous and this is one huge collection).  I'm giving away the remaining embellishments and a new 6x6 paper pad (will also be including the used sticker sheets - had forgotten to include them in the pictures).  Although these might not be brand new/full packs) but there's still quiet a lot of yummy goodies left...

If you're interested, just leave me a comment on this post by midnight Friday Feb 8th and will announce the winner over the weekend (open to all).



Thanks everyone for stopping by and don't forget to stop by the Little Yellow Bicycle blog for more inspirations!

More CSI Special Agent Projects

Hello Everyone Hello February!

Sharing a few more projects that I did for CSI (Color Stories Inspiration) this past month. The first one here is for their Case File No. 55 (full details of the challenge HERE).  I loved the earth tone colors in this one and it really challenged me to search through my stash for the right colors. Mixing in a bit of American Crafts, Pebbles, MME and Studio Calico.





And absolutely loving those alphabet stickers from Amy Tangerine collection - not only are they just the right size but love love that transparency look! Hoping that there'll be more of these coming out in the new collections...



And listing out the 6 reasons why we love it here...



And here's another fun layout I created for Case File No. 56 challenge (full details of challenge HERE), using a mix of products from American Crafts, Basic Grey, Echo Park, Pebbles, Maya Road and Crate Paper. The design of this layout was inspired by the case file photo and wanted to document some we had on our recent trip to Vietnam. As you can see from hubby's reaction when he tried a local delight (betel chew) - it was a little more than what he could handle. LOL









Thanks everyone for stopping and hope you guys have a great weekend!!
