Your Mother Should Know ...

Dixie Pieces Tropical Paradise Kit Goes On Sale Today!

This was a fun kit to  play with.  Feel free to jump over to the design team's folder and view the layouts, cards and projects created by the designers. 

Here are my layouts.  The first one is of our grandson and his Aunt Bee.  I used the kit's zipper to create the flowers.  Tip:  I split the zipper by pulling it apart.  Zipper flower tip:  use your hot glue gun!  I didn't find any of my trusty adhesives up for the task.  If you have something else that works, let me know!

 

This is our baby girl; pink is her favorite color!  I know this photo is a bit dark, but it's still one of my favorites.  Tip:  You can use your inks to color the Bella Blvd white alphas.  I used pink below.

 

Lastly, we have that lovely, varigated animal print (here in green but above in pink) used on the layout documenting the great t-shirts Krista designed for Damien's first Father's Day gifts. Each tee sports a unique design.  I grabbed some Jillibean Soup corrugated hearts out of my stash and added to this layout.  The green dot material is printed tissue paper from Pink Paislee; I cut a nice, long strip and ruffled it below.

 

You can purchase your kit here!

Here's a layout I did about darling grandson and his penchant for costumes and role playing. It's something I find endearing and fascinating at the same time. And he only wants to play good guys, not the villians. He definitely does not like villians! Too cute.

365 Days a Year

It was a bit crazy here last week. We had snow! Snow that's still on the ground three days later. And we had cold temperatures with blustery winds. That doesn't happen often either! Plus there's always more to do than hours in the day. Added to my February layout-a-day commitment, I prepared for a paper crafters' garage sale that occurred yesterday. Great jun, great people, and I came home with a little cash in my pocket. LOL Then last night after dinner, I finished this layout, and I really like it!

Today there were six of us who went thrift shopping in the Seattle area. I think everyone found a treasure, and I did, too. I bought an old, six paned window, and I have a couple of decorating ideas for it. Should be fun!
