You're One of a Kind

Happy Sunday!

I'm looking forward to a relaxing day, how about you? I did a lot of work in the yard yesterday and did some cleaning indoors too so I'm ready to put my feet up today and lay low! I want to do a little crafting and take a nap with my sweet and fury fat cat! Ah...the little things!

I also have a little card to share with you today.

I got to play with a couple new supplies to make this card. I used 'Splash' papers from Echo Park and the 'Button Boutique' stamp set from Papertrey Ink. Oh how I love buttons and just had to have this set!

I can't wait to make more button cards with this stamp set! The half circle doily looking piece was made with a Spellbinders die. The final touches are the seam binding bow and a Prima flower on top. Fun and easy!

I hope you enjoyed my crafty share and your Sunday! :) Kathy

Teacups

Hi! How is your week going? Are the kiddos out of school yet? Christopher gets out of school the week after next and has some fun summer camp activities lined up. Great times ahead and a ton of summer memories and photos to scrapbook!

Speaking of scrapbooking, I have a page to share with you. You might have noticed that I love to create pages about everyday little things in addition to the big events. Today's page is about little things...teacups. I love teacups!

Do you collect anything? I enjoy all things vintage...especially teacups. They're just so pretty and delicate and I can't seem to get enough. Funny thing is...I don't drink tea! Well, I do sometimes, but I usually prefer a good strong cup of java or hot chocolate over tea. By-the-way, I've noticed that my photos appear blurry on Blogger. But if you click on a photo, they become more clear.

This sweet little teacup was purchased at our local flea market. Isn't it beautiful? Love the flowers!

All the lovely patterned papers I used for this page are from an awesome new digital kit from Two Peas in a Bucket called 'I Dream of Shabby' by Dianne Rigdon.

I used a Papertrey Ink butterfly die, some Silhouette butterfly cuts and some Spellbinders circle dies for my page.

I got a little carried away with the stitching! ;) Oh but it was fun and I love the results so what's the harm, right? What do you think of the peachy pink flowers? My latest purchase from Two Peas...they're from Prima. Love 'em!

Thank you so much for popping in today! I hope you enjoyed my project share. Here's to us all having a super day! :) Kathy

The Music of My Heart

Good day!

I love three day weekends! Not just because we have three days to play, but when the new week starts back up it's already Tuesday and that means we're one day closer to another weekend! Yippee!

Over the memorial day weekend I spent a little time crafting and made this card.

How about this for the music lover in your life? I really like to include sheet music in so many of my projects and with this new 'Musical'

digital kit by Polka Dot Pixels, I'll aways have it on my computer to print out anytime in any size I need! How awesome is that?

I just so happened to have the perfect little music note charm for this card! I sell these and other charms in my Etsy shop if you're interested.

For the violin focal point, I first printed out some of the sheet music and then I printed over that with the violin accent. I also used three different Spellbinders

die cuts to make the layered frame.

Thanks for stopping by and having a look see at my latest project. I hope you enjoy your week. How hot will it be in your neck of the woods? We're expecting upper 90s all week! Feels like August! Stay cool and crafty! ;) Kathy

The Magic Box

Hello!

Are you having a fabulous Memorial Day weekend? I can't complain! We went grocery shopping this morning...I LOVE shopping at Whole Foods. All the organic and local produce...I could go on and on, but I'll spare you the details! ;) Oh, today's a great day too because I got a box of goodies from Two Peas in a Bucket! Yum...new patterned paper and Copic markers to play with!

Speaking of boxes...I have a scrapbook page share about a special box Christopher got for Easter. The Easter bunny left him a Lego airplane kit that he was thrilled and surprised to get. He usually gets candy and a smaller toy.

Here's Christopher and his dad checking out the pictures on the box. Christopher loves to see how many pieces the kit contains and examine the box thoroughly before he opens it!

I used a lot of fun goodies for this page so I'll list them at the end of the post...most items can be found at Two Peas in a Bucket. I used lots of tags, stars, and accents I had in my stash.

I added hand stitching and even a piece of cardboard box. I found some that's ready to use on Etsy at The Funkie Junkie so I didn't have to spend time peeling apart a box myself.

I love all the vintage style cards that October Afternoon creates and these two worked perfectly for this page!

Well, I'm going to take off and work on a card using another digital kit from Two Peas. I'll be back to share that with you soon. Until we meet again, enjoy! :) Kathy
