Well it took me all week....

but I finally finished my layout I started last week before the kids came into town for spring break!! I worked on it here and there until I had everything tweaked just the way I wanted it!! I did some heat embossing (loving that Zing!!) with that cutie bee stamp I got in my Studio Calico March kit using apricot Zing. I also heat embossed the envelope scrolly edge too. It's an older picture of Danielle, but it's one of my favs and the colors are just gorgeous in it - and match the papers perfectly!! TFL!!

First blog post at Just Imagine....

Here's a layout I created using my Kreaxions 910 Vinca 4 in 1 Punch and that fabulously easy circle cutter! Check it here on the Just Imagine blog!!

I've had to hold this in for 4 days......

and it's been killing me!!!!!


I got the call last week from one awesome lady (Hi Heidi!!!) who informed me that I was invited to be on the GCD Studios Design team!!! I was hoping, but totally not expecting a call at all when Heidi Sonboul - the Design Team Coordinator extrordinaire from GCD - called me! My heart was pounding and I don't really remember everything that she said to me....lol.....but I am beyond thrilled that I was chosen to be a part of such an awesome team with such fabulous ladies!! It's gonna be a fun year!! :)

Katy Perry Challenge

I'm usually absolutely horrible at challenges where I have to use a song lyric - and we were even assigned to a certain lyric from Katy Perry's "Baby You're A Firework" song, but Christine was so very kind and gave me a lyric that wasn't too hard and I thought it described my youngest daughter perfectly!! Thank you Christine!! :) I used some Maya mists to mist some stars and them I misted some white Mister Huey onto a "bubble" stamp and stamped down the middle between the diecut paper. I love the way this turned out!! And I LOVE this layout - my favorite I recently made (and I REALLY loved my teatime layout!). I used my very brand spanking new Studio Calico kit I got yesterday evening (March's kit). I think I'm really going to enjoy using this kit up!! Thanks so much for looking!! :)

Using some scraps.....

When I have a beautiful piece of patterned paper it's just so hard to get rid of all the bits and pieces, so I love when I can take the leftovers and use them on my layouts! The grid patterned on these cool KI Memories calendar pages makes this easy to line up different pieces of scraps! I obviously have a slight butterfly obsession - I just can't help they are all so beautiful...LOL! Some of the butterflies are from the new BoBunny line called Gabrielle - it's gorgeous!! I'm so thrilled that Scrapbook Corner (where I work and get a discount!!) got some of this yesterday!! I worked hard to get it all in the computer, priced and out on the floor, but I also got to pick out what I wanted...hee! The subject of the layout is my new relaxation part of the day - teatime = me time!! I got that cute little pink teapot and some awesome loose leaf teas from the coolest little tea shop called Teavana! You can also order their stuff online - you should check it out!! TFL!

So excited to announce.....

I'm a part of the Design Team for the Just Imagine/Kreaxions Manufacturer of punches, circle cutters, templates and 4 in 1 border punches! I just got my goodies yesterday and I'm so excited to start playing with my new toys!! :)
