Nautical Chic

I just wanted to share with you a little piece that I created using a background paper and a brush from Rhonna's Nautical Chic line found HERE.  I was shopping at my local Marshall's Home Goods and I saw a subway sign with these words. I decided to recreate it using this adorable Nautical Chic line.

There is so much you can do with these printable and digital files too.  Last week on her cReative Team Tuesday post some of the other team members shared what they had created.  You are welcome to right click and save the file for your own personal use only.

My Saturday night with Heidi Swapp

Hi there! Hope you had a fabulous weekend, we did! It was another relaxing one. That makes two weekends in a row that the hubby and I slept in late followed by breakfast in bed. Yes, I'm spoiled and I absolutely love it and think I deserve it, lol. I work full time, and this past month my work schedule has been changed up. So, I am feeling out of sorts working between two office locations. Not to mention the extra time and miles as I work an hour from home. And so when the weekend arrives I just want to relax and do very little!

On Saturday, the hubby and I had been out and about running errands, did some fun shopping and grabbed an early dinner. It was a fun afternoon and then later on that evening I headed into my studio to see if I could create something. I was going to play with Rhonna's new line found HERE but I totally forgot we were out of ink!

So, I decided to pull out the few pieces of Heidi's new line that I bought at Archivers in Katy, Texas. We have a fabulous local Scrapbooking store closer to home but sadly they didn't bring that line in. Or maybe it's a good thing for me otherwise I would be there often shopping lol for it!


I wasn't sure what I was going to do and so I simply just moved paper around and this came together. I'm not sure what I'm creating, a journal of sorts I think but for now I like it! As you can see I need to add more to one side but that will come! Sorry for the long post! 

 Hope you have a great start to your week!




The stamped images above were created with a line designed by Rhonna Farrer, called Follow Your Heart for My Mind's Eye.

Mother's Day Paper Corsage

Hi there!  Well, I'm sure you are wondering where I have been? Maybe not? LOL  Well, life has kept me busy and so my blog has fallen behind but I am here today!  I wanted to share with you a few photos one of which is a terrible photo but still sharing it with you.  Bad photos do happen right, ha!

So, today I am sharing with you the fun and easy paper corsage that I created with Rhonna's new kit found HERE.  I simply printed out the files on paper on my home computer and put these together very quickly!  I used a kraft card that I had and simply cut a slit in the front so that I could add the paper corsage to the front.  This then made my project a card and a paper corsage, fun huh!

I would like to mention that I punched out a circle with heavy card stock to adhere to the back of the doily first. This gave me a solid base to work off of for the ribbons and it also kept them from showing throughout the think doily. Then once I laid out the paper ribbons as I liked them I stapled them together then used adhesive to glue the ribbons to the card stock.  I then covered that with another circle for stability and so that I could add the pin or clip as shown.
And here is another ribbon I created with the same kit.

And here is the TERRIBLE BLURRY photo that I was too lazy to re-take a photo of once I started writing my blog post. Sorry but it gives you an idea of an easy and cute card you can create with Rhonna's freebie with purchase kit.

Well, that is it for today! Thanks for stopping in and I hope you have a wonderful Mother's Day weekend.
