Antiques

Hey Ya'll!

Can you tell I'm blogging friom the south? ;)

I have a scrapbook page share for you this morning. A couple weeks ago I went to the Liberty Antique Festival in North Carolina and created this block design scrapbook page with a bunch of photos from the day.

'Twas a great day to  junk hunt and there was plenty to see! I went with my dearest friend Audrey...she's in the group of photos.

Most of the die cuts and sticker accents are from the  Emma's Shoppe

line from Crate Paper. I threw in a Cosmo Cricket patterned paper and I believe the text background is from My Mind's Eye.

I inked the edges of everything to give the page a vintage feel. I also added some hand stitching and some super cool Jillibean Soup

corrugated alphas....love those letters!

Before I run, I have to share some exciting news! Speaking of Audrey, she just called to inform me that she's going to be a new mama soon and that makes me a new Auntie! But it's not the kind of baby you might be thinking about. She's going to be mama to this sweet little boy! He's a hedgehog.

Is he adorable or what?!?! Oh my what a sweet little guy! I can't wait to hold this little fellow! And guess what else? I get to baby sit him for three weeks! Yep! Audrey and her kids will be visiting family in California soon after they adopt their little dude, but they know he'll be living it up here like it's the Four Seasons Hotel! I'll have to blog about his visit so Audrey and her kids can see what their baby is doing each day and so you can see him too! :)

Okay, enought critter talk...for now! ;) Hope your day is swell! :) Kathy

Flowers for Mama

Good Day!

I put together a scrapbook page this weekend that I'd love to share with you. My husband and son gave me the sweetest Mother's Day flowers last weekend and I created this page with pictures of them! The tulips my husband gave me are already gone and the Lego tulips from my son could accidentally wind up with the rest of his gazillion Legos one day. With this page, the memories will last forever!

I used mostly Emma's Shoppe

papers and embellishments for my page. I love that there was a patterned paper with faux book titles and one was 'Flowers for Mama!' How perfect was that for my  page title!

I'm really digging the new My Favorite Things die cuts that I used to make the felt flowers!

I layered some of the Emma's Shoppe stickers for dimensional accents. I got to have texture! :)

I created this flag embellishment with a wood skewer from the kitchen and card stock.

Guess what? I have another share for today! I have a hybrid card to show you that I created with a new digital kit from Two Peas in a Bucket.

This super sweet little girls image is from the 'Circle of Friends'

kit by Polka Dot Pixels.

As always, Polka Dot Pixels packs their kits with so many beautiful coordinating papers, embellishments and vintage images!

As you can see, I inked my paper edges, added some dry embossing and stitching. That's it, super fast and fun!

Well, I hope you all have a terrific start to your week! Thanks for stopping by! :) Kathy

Baby

Hello! Looks like Monday has rolled around once again! It has a way of doing that doesn't it? Ha!

To liven up Monday just a tad, I have a hybrid card share for you!

My adorable focal point pram is from one of the latest digital kits at Two Peas in a Bucket called 'Organic Baby'by Vinnie Pearce.

I used a few Spellbindersdie cuts to show off that adorable little baby buggy.

I thought the new Crate Paper collection, 'Emma's Shoppe'would work perfectly with the Organic baby kit. These pretty patterned papers and the little lady die cut are from Emma's Shoppe.

Additionally, I used some Papertrey Ink stamps, stamp inkfor the paper edges, buttons, lace and hand stitching. This was a fun card to create!

So what's on your Monday agenda? I was supposed to have a photo shoot this morning, but that's been postponed due to cloudy skies. It's supposed to burn off so maybe my photo shoot will happen this afternoon. Anyway, just working and craftin' today. It's awesome to be able to do what you love!

I hope this day is good to you. Enjoy! :) Kathy

Spring Home

Hello!

It's another Monday! Hope your weekend was terrific! I hear those of you in the southern portion of the states had a hot day yesterday! Someone in Texas mentioned 93 degrees! Wow! We barely got up to 40 here in NC...not very nice!

With our rainy and cold weather I've been getting some scrapbooking done.

Recently I took some photos of our spring decor to share on my blog. I thought it would be fun to create a page with those photos.

I just got Crate Paper's 'Emma's Shoppe'collection and wanted to play with it.

I added a few of my stash items too. The 'bits & pieces' tag is from Little Yellow Bicycle and the umbrella die cut is from My Mind's Eye. Do you like the stitching I added to the umbrella?

I used a couple styles of Thickers for the title and a few butterfly die cuts from my Midnight Rooster March kit.

I had a lot of fun putting this page together! I got inky with the paper edges and I added zigzag stitching. Do you display any of your pages once they're completed? I use easels throughout the house to display the most recent pages.

Well, I hope your Monday is kind to you and that your weather is better than ours! :) Kathy
