Show me the She Art Baby!

Hi there! Hope you had a great week last week, I was waiting for the weekend the whole time so that tells ya what kind of week I had ;)

I wanted to share with you my first project created from the She Art Workshop that is going on right now online.  There will be another course offered so go check it out HERE if you want to create your own She Art piece.  I created this one for my niece's birthday gift, I was sad to hand it over once I was done but no worries, I can whip up another ;)  This course is great, Christy shares so many pointers!

Hope you like it, I sure do!

I used some paper items and ribbon from one of my Girls Loft Kit I had on hand and then used some stamps for texture from the Glitz Girls and one set designed by Rhonna Farrer.  If you have any questions on the papers I used just ask away :)  If you want to learn how to make your own go HERE

Have a great week!

Layout Help from Sketchy Thursdays

Hi there! Hope you had a great Valentine's Day week and that you are looking forward to this coming week, I suppose I am although I'm not ready to start my work week, lol.

I've mentioned previously that layouts don't come easy to me, I started out as a stamper, card maker, mixed media and mini album maker.  Over the last year and a half I have been trying my hand at layouts but they don't come easy!  I'm amazed at how creative some women are with their layouts and am also learning that many of them go to others for help.  Well, this week I went to Sketchy Thursday's blog which you can find HERE for help.  They offer layout designs to use as a basis when doing your layouts, love it and saw some items that others had used and realized that they too must have used ST!

So, with all that said here is my layout using this months Girls Loft monthly kit and I think it turned out perfect if I do say so myself!!  The papers used are from My Mind's Eye Lost & Found line, lovely! Here is the link to the actual post for this layout design HERE challenge.

Thanks for stopping by!

Toil and Trouble a la The Girl's Paperie!

Hi friends! Wanted to share with you a necklace I created last night, but before you say WOW how did she think of that...... I must first tell you that this necklace was inspired by one similar to the one that Margie Romney-Aslett designed for her 2010 Creative Escape class.  She will be teaching her necklace first weekend of December at By Design incase you are interested go check HERE.  I am signed up to take all her classes, can't wait!  I'm lucky enough to call her my friend and fellow Spark Sister! Spark? What is Spark? If you don't know check out my sidebar for the Spark Button or click HERE you should come next year to Spark No. 3! They haven't announced the dates yet but believe me you don't want to miss it!

If you just want to buy the kit for Margie's CE necklace you can find it HERE at Scrapp'n Savvy, Karrie has extra kits and the CE Book with photos of all the classes!  I'm teaching Pam Black's class on Nov 9th at 6:30pm and we still have room ;)

OK, so now on to my necklace, I created it last night using some items from the October Kit from The Girl's Loft, a fabulous Kit club you can find that HERE!  I had so much fun creating it and it didn't take too long to do! I promise to come back and give you more info on supplies but you can find Margie's line at Scrapbook.com HERE just search for The Girl's Paperie she has lots of lovely stuff!!  I used some things I already had on hand to create some of the pieces. 

Photos for you to feast your eyes on....

I almost forgot to mention that I used Halloween Photo frames from the House of 3 you know how much I love those gals!
