Bo Bunny Love Bandit

I have always been a huge fan of Bo Bunny and my credit card feels the blow with each of their new releases. I usually find it hard to pick a favorite line from all the new releases but this time the Love Bandit line called out to me. I totally love all the cute little critters, the colors and patterns are fantastic and all of the little sayings are darling. I love it ALL!!!
Here are the six layouts I created for my CT reveal at A Cherry On Top. Be sure and check out the rest of my CT Reveal Article HERE!

My Sketch World - December Card Sketch

Because of the holidays there is only one card sketch at My Sketch World for December. Lucy Chesna had the design team design a card with a winter, holiday or New Year's theme. I decided on a Christmas theme because I have lots of Christmas cards I need to make.

KaiserCraft Jade's Garden

For my design team at Scrapadilly I got to work with the KaiserCraft Jade's Garden paper line. When I first show this line in the shop I thought it would be great for Fall layouts but after I got the Jade's Garden papers in the mail I decided to do something different with them. Don't get me wrong these papers would still be awesome with Fall photos but I wanted so see how they would work with some heritage photos. Guess what? They are perfect for heritage photos too! At least I think they are. LOL!

Here are the KaiserCraft papers I used on my layouts.

journaling paper: Prima
flowers: Prima
flower centers: Prima
glitter: Stickles (copper)
letter stickers: The Paper Studio
pearl bling: Zva Creative


For these flowers I started with some plain Prima E Line brown flowers and layered two together. Then I outlined the edges with copper colored Stickles. After the Stickles dried I added a Prima flower center.

To make this flower I cut out 4 different sized circles from the KaiserCraft papers. Then I crunched them up in my hands and then smoothed them out again. Next I sprayed them with the Black Gold Glimmer Mist. After they dried I put all the layers together and attached them to my layout with a brad.

Zva Creative Bling

I trully totally love bling! I love to buy. I love to collect it. I love to admire it. And I also love to use it on my layouts. For my CT Reveal at A Cherry On Top I got to work with some of the yummy new bling from Zva Creative. I was so excited to see that they now have pearl bling too. Here are the five layouts that I created for my reveal. Please check out my reveal article HERE for more tips!

Bo Bunny Tis The Season

I totally love the new Christmas line from Bo Bunny called Tis The Season. The colors and patterns are perfect! I started with the Tis The Season Chorus Die Cut paper as my background. Next I used a couple of the other pattern papers from this same line and a border sticker. Added my title letters, pearls for accents and fixed up a chipboard snowflake. Check out the close-up photos below. Thank you so much for stopping by and checking out my blog.



As you can see I added some pretty pearls from Zva Creative to accent the snowflakes on my background paper.



For my snowflake I started with a chipboard snowflake from Bazzill and painted it with white acrylic paint. After the paint dried I used some Baby Blue Stickles and spread it around with my finger. Then after the Stickles dried I used glue dots to attach to my layout and added a pearl from Zva Creative to the center.

KaiserCraft Pearls

I simply LOVE KaiserCraft Pearls!!! They are so fun to use and there are so many colors to choose from. If you have not tried the KaiserCraft Pearls then you need to! For my layout I used the chocolate, copper and mango pearls.



I added some of the smaller sized pearls (copper & mango) onto my title letters. Then I used 3 of the largest chocolate pearls for my ...



I totally blinged out these flowers!



This photo shows how I accented my background paper with the pearls and of course another blinged out flower.

KI Memories Flourish

KI Memories is a company know for it's bright colors and bold patterns. At least that's what I always think of when I think of KI Memories. I fell in love with their new line called Flourish. I am normally more drawn to boy lines then the flowery girls lines. I think that is because I know I have more photos of my son, Erik then of my daughter Marissa. This is because she doesn't always let me take her picture. But anyway back to this awesome new line! The Flourish line is gorgeous!! The pattern papers are bold and I love the mix of bright colors as well as the black & white papers. Some of the papers are glitter accented, which I love. There are also so many different kinds of embellishments and accents that you can mix and match with..... Read the rest of my KI Memories CT Reveal!

Awesome Blossoms

Check out these fantastic Awesome Blossoms that I got to work with for my design team at Scrapadilly! These flowers really are awesome! On my layout and card I used both the Evening Garden and the Pacific Bay Awesome Blossoms.
Here's alittle bit about Awesome Blossoms: Awesome Blossoms by BonBon are hand made tree-free paper flowers made from the bark of the mulberry tree. Once a year the bark peels from the tree and is then processed by hand into paper. Unlike conventional paper the tree does not have to be cut down and it regenerates another layer of bark within 12 months, making it a renewable natural resource that does not deplete the environment. This natural paper takes less water to manufacture, uses no chlorine, and is naturally acid and lignin free.
