Strike A Pose | Happy N Scrappin'

Today I have a two page layout that I created for
Happy N Scrappin'
using the My Mind's Eye Miss Caroline Howdy Doody Collection

This is my Lauren posing for Grandpa/Camera-- she loves to pose and make faces (I am amazed she smiled here instead of making silly faces or opening her eyes super wide).
I had lots of fun creating this layout --
I was able to use the cute brads, twine and embellishments included in this girly collection!
For this tag I used a SEI tag just by changing the cord to MME's twine.
This tag I had in my collection but you can find Tim Holtz tags at the STORE.
The journal card is from the Project Life collection I already had in my studio.
I added a sticker from the MME's collection and a Tim Holtz mini paper clip.
A closer look at the tag and twine (notice how I created the kite's tail with the MME's twine).
Here a closer look at the kite using the PP included in the MME's collection, some twine and an embellishment also from the collection.

Project Life | Week Seven

Today I have pictures of Week 7 and some exciting news!

First the pics of my week 7--

 Week 7 includes Valentine's day!  For the hearts die cut 4"x6" I used a file from the Silhoutte online store.
I was able to use the negative of the hearts die cut on the page to the right. The "week" file is one of Kerri's files and the number seven is a cuttlebug die in addition to an Ali Edwards/Technique Tuesday stamp.
On this page I included a journal card I had created using the Comas adjustable pen holder and one of the tags (round)  I had previously created and shared here on my blog.  The stamped sentiment is from one of my Comadrita's stamps "Dilo En Español-Suspirando Con Tinta" collection and this brings me to share the news!  I am on her Design Team! and below you will see a sneak peek at one of her newly released stamp sets (this coming March 9th).

Translation:  "I love you Not for who you are, but for who I am when I am with you"  -- That just sums up how I feel about my daughter and grand babies (I know they are not babies anymore, but to me, They are!)

Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment~  Hopefully you can join us over at Abby's blog (Abby is aka my Comadrita) starting on March 7th for some sneak peeks ending with a blog hop and the release on March 9th!

Hello Card | SEI Field Notes Collection

Today I am sharing a vintage/distress card using the so pretty and shinySEI Field Notes Collection that I created for Happy N Scrappin'

I love the Arboretum (top) and the butterfly papers included in this collection.
I utilized both sides of the Arboretum Gold Foil Accent and the Kaleidoscope Gold Foil Accent PPs
And since the Arboretum Gold Foil Accent paper had  a "chicken wire" design on the B side, I added a chicken wire die cut at the bottom of my card.
I distress the banners and card around using the Tim Holtz distress-er.
I finished the card with a tag, gold sequins and a gem included on the SEI Field Notes Sundries embellishment pack; and a hand cut butterfly from the Butterflies Blue Foil Accent PP.
