Celebrating Fatherhood

With Father's Day fast approaching, I decided to dig into the Man About Town paper and matching brads for this photo of my daughter, Larissa getting a tractor ride with her Daddy. These brads make the perfect masculine embellishment! Upsy Daisy has a wonderful selection of fun brads that are a great addition to any page...check them out!!

Fun Mini!

To make this mini album you'll first need to cut the back pocket off of an old pair of jeans.

Measure the size of your pocket and cut some papers to fit inside.

Fold paper in half and stitch in place...

making sure that your stitching goes through the pocket as well!

This makes a perfect summer album :)

Mix-it-Up Monday!!!!

Hi everyone...
I wanted to show you a cool way to mix up our gorgeous papers and embellies.

Look at my cute Band-Aid tin:


I took an old tin, sanded it down (so the acrylic paint would go on better), waited for it to dry, and had a LOT of fun with my Upsy Daisy goodies :)

I trimmed, modge-podged and sanded and filed my way around this tin, reaching for my favourite UD papers all the time.

Can you guess how many lines I used?

I used "Unwritten - Poetry", "Spirit - Love", "Hot Chocolate - Wintergreen" and "Hot Chocolate - Cinnamon Stick".

I embellished the tin with some leftover trim and UD Rub-ons "Basic Black Alphas" and "Sweet Slumber Boy".

Of course I had to use up a lurverly new brad from our "Man about Town" line. I used it to mimic an "O" in the word "ouch"...

I finally sanded down the handle and the bottom edges of the tin so as to give it a battered-up, worn-out look...kinda how one feels after taking a nasty spill and needing a Band-Aid ;)

***warning*** If you do decide to mix-it-up and create a tin like this, your little people will be searching for Band-Aids about 5 times a day....lol

Happy week everyone :):)

Mothers Need to be Celebrated

I found this poem while hunting around for a decent poem to put on the front of my Mother's Day card for this year and I think it's perfect!

Mom you are a shining star though the world doesn't know your name.
You have no fancy title like Baroness or Dame.
Mom you really are a star, my mother mentor and friend.
A Nobel Prize for motherhood is what I'd recommend.
And if I won the lottery I'd share my win with you
I'd take you Mom on a spending spree each day the whole year through!
You may not be famous, as your face is known to few.
But Mom I think you are wonderful and I'm so proud of you!

How cute is that?

In honour of Mother's day fast approaching next month, I have put together a few card ideas for you using the wonderful "UNWRITTEN" paper range.

"Unwritten" is the sort of paper range that seems to go with every theme. So versatile it can be used for any LO or OTP project and then put your scraps together and make a few cards at the end of each project - that way you will stockpile cards for different occasions throughout the year.

I hope you enjoy your Mother's Day - wherever you are in the world. Mum's need to be given a good Cuppa, a sleep in and a group cuddle from all the kids to make them feel special for all the other days of the year that they work for their families, don't you think?

Have a great week everyone and happy scrapping!

These Brads make me HAPPY!

Hello everyone!


I do hope you all enjoyed this past Easter weekend with your families...and for those of you that do not celebrate Easter...I hope you found this past weekend just as JOYFUL too! :)

I am LOVING the new brad's...the shapes are so fun to work with and do some really creative things with.


I've been out of town for the past few weeks...so I haven't had as much time as I would like to to play...but I did manage to squeeze a card out to show you how ADORABLE these brads are. :)



and here are some details. I also used the "Thinking of you" stamp under the ribbon.




Have a wonderful and blessed Monday! xoxo :)
