A Liitle Mondays Goodness!

Hello out there!!! It is time for some more lovely inspiration today!

I think that one of my all time favorite things to do right now is layer.

Whether it be a little or a lot you can always get fantastic results by

layering elements and paper. For this page I used Upsy Daisy's

Cupcake and Ice Cream Shoppe lines! I am such a girly girl and these

two lines are sure to wet your creative pallet with some delicious

creative juices!

Be sure to check back often for more creations and ideas from the

Daisy ladies!

Little Banner

So excited to share this little banner that is perfect

for adding magnets to the back to display on your fridge...

or I displayed mine on the metal door that leads to our garage ;)

I used the very beautiful Fluter paperline to create it!

Have a very amazing weekend :)

Hi Everyone! I wanted to post this layout of my sweet Marcus for a number of reasons. First of all the new Vroom paper line rocks and it is so much fun to work with! Secondly, I just love the way that the layout turned out in the end, I just wanted to keep looking at it. But most of all, I wanted to post this layout because it deals with a sensitive issue. I have learned that scrapbooking is not always about rainbows and butterflies but rather it is a venue to document and help work through things in my life that are not always sweet. My Marcus worries about everything (which is part of a diagnosed condition), I have wanted to journal about it for quite sometime but have not found the means. This layout enabled me to do so. At first glance it is fun and happy, only when you pull out the journaling tag do you read the whole story; thoughts of mine that I want Marcus to know. Also, I have sung that same Bob Marley song to him since he was in my tummy and so it was a meaningful way to scrapbook that musical bond between us.

The physical act of scrapbooking relaxes me, has brought me some beautiful friendships and is an outlet to my thoughts, feelings and inspirations. What a great hobby!

I hope that you enjoy the layout!

April 21st...a little Inspiration by Kimberly

Hello Upsy Daisy fans...Here is a LO I created using the Cupcake line, as well as Stamps from 'Make a Bloom' and 'Lovely Lines' sets. I also added ribbon's for just the right touch to complete this creation from 'Savvy n Sassy' as they sponsered us for the month of May to coordinate their ribbon's with our new designs...They match perfectly! Thank you Savvy n Sassy!

Where's spring?

Easter might be over but I'm definitely ready for spring! We had snow in Iowa overnight...yuck! I made this Easter card using the Ice Cream Shoppe line - it's one of my favorites! The Easter eggs were made with an oval template. I tend to cut a lot of design elements out of patterned paper while I'm creating, and Upsy Daisy Designs patterned papers are perfect for that (the scallops were cut out of the patterned paper). I also used Upsy Daisy stamps to create the flourishes and accented them with rhinestones. Finally, I finished off the card with a sentiment using Upsy Daisy rub-ons. They go on like butter!

Happy creating! :)
Jill
