My Happy Heart

I was so lucky to get to spend some time with my favorite girls the other day, we took them for lunch downtown and walked around the waterfront. These girls make me happy!

You can see the process video for this layout on my YouTube channel here:

I documented the fun day with the Maggie Holmes Bloom collection.

I love the Snapchat photo lol.

It definitely makes my heart happy.

Summer Crush

I am sure we have all had a summer crush at some time in our life and this summer I am totally crushing on Andrea Bethke. For my second Summer Camp challenge I am challengein you to tell me about your summer crush, who is inspiring you right now.

I took Andrea's One Magical Mini class on Big Picture Classes and fell in love. Like me she loves Disneyland and mini albums. I was inspired to finally get started on my Disneyland Midori. You can see how I made these pages on my video here 

I made a cute shaker pocket for the cover of my first notebook.

I used the Minc foiling technique from the class to make this fun gold castle for the inside page.

Our first stop was a Breakfast with Minnie in the park where we met Minnie and a bunch of other characters.

The food was amazing and I loved the cute Mickey Waffles.

I hope you stop by in a few weeks to see part 2 of my Disney Midori.

Thanks for stopping by.

Friday Inspiration with Joy

This week is another Inspiration Friday with Joy. This month we are taking our inspiration from Ashley Horton a fellow scrapbooker and owner of The Cut Shoppe on Etsy.

I decided to use the free Summer cut file from Scrapbook Nerd for my layout. You can see how it came together on my channel here:

I am using the lovely Maggie Holmes Bloom collection for this layout and I love it.

Thanks for stopping by.

Key chain

One of my favorite gifts to make for friends and family is a key chain using my Epiphany Crafts Shape Studio tools. They are so easy to personalize with photos and paper.

I made this one for my Mom for Mother's Day last week. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Wizard of Oz Midori

I finally got the Wizard of Oz Midori for my son finished. There is nothing quite like knowing a project is complete. I think that's why I have always loved mini albums and now Midori's they are little treasure troves of pretty paper, cute embellishments, fun pictures and life!

I love this picture on the little charm I made, how cute are those Munchkins.

The cast had a Cabaret to celebrate how well the show was going. It was a blast.

Sneaking backstage to take photos of his costume rack.

They had a performance on New Years Eve so Linden and I got the kids noise makers, party hats and sparkling apple cider.  The last show was so bitter-sweet. 

A wind up cast party and the cutest gift from the Director Barb.

Look at all this goodness, I love the washi tape on the edges!

Thanks for stopping by.

Fringe Hearts

I loved the Maggie Holmes fringe hearts in her new Bloom collection, they are so cute and I can't wait to get them.

 For Linden's Valentines I decided to try and recreate them to use up my stash of Valentine's day paper. 

I cut out the hearts from several different patterned papers, fringed them with my scissors then pieced them together. They don't look as good as hers but I know the girls will love them.

Let them eat cake

It's Scrapbook Nerd's 3rd birthday and we are celebrating over at Scrapbook Nerd with some fun challenges.  My first challenge is Let them Eat Cake...

Add some fun cake elements to your project like this pretty chipboard cake from an old Maggie Holmes collection by Crate Paper.

Hope you can join us and join in on the birthday celebrations.

Thanks for stopping by.

Sweet 16?

I don't know who came up with the expression sweet sixteen but I am not sure it applies here lol.

My son's favorite thing is eating out.  What teenage boy doesn't like food?  So we took him out for dinner for his birthday.

I love this paper even though its pretty busy so I used the cork to make sure the photo didn't get lost. I also added some cork hearts.

I can't believe I am the mom of a 16 year old. How did time go so fast?

Birthday Love

I love that I share a birthday with this cute kid.  I also love our party hats lol.

I didn't want to cut up this fun paper so I cut about an inch off and used a paper I had been punching for confetti as the background paper and I love it.

Thanks for stopping by.
