Just a quick share today. (waiting on paint to dry on another project)
Here are a couple more projects that I made for The Paper Forest Design Team
using Kaisercraft’s Dream Big Collection. (Inside it says: anything is possible)
I’m really loving the color softness of this collection.
This card could be using for a Graduation, Retirement, New Job…
Why give a boring candle when you can make one over with a few left-over scraps of paper?
Small Candle from Bath & Body Works.
Now that schools out and everyone’s looking for new things to do.
How about making a Sun Catcher with the kids?
This is something even the younger kids can enjoy. (I recommend ages 3-100)
This project was created for and sponsored by Clear Scraps.
Some of you may remember my family pictures that was taken on Easter.
I love all the silly shots we got that day. I think “captured” really fits on the layout below.
The caption reads:
Somebody got a little excited as Mom ran back and forth setting the camera on the tripod.
These layouts were made with Kaisercraft’s Dream Big Collection.
I recently ran across this old Family Reunion picture from 1936.
Because there is over 100 relatives in the picture, I wanted to highlight where my Grandparents are.
I used one of the frames from the “Clear Mixers”.
After removing one side of the protective covering, I painted the edges with Antique Linen Distress
Paint. I glued a small piece of scrapbook paper under the painted side and trimmed it with an exact-o
knife. I gently sanded the edges with a sanding block and distressed it slightly with Vintage Photo
Distress Ink before removing the second protective coating.
My grandfather is the one with the x and my grandmother is sitting to his left holding my Uncle Bill.
I used the Chamberry Collection from Adorn it and a scalloped circle punch and a old border punch
from Marvy Uchida.

I recently started working with a new company called Smoothfoam.
Today, I have my first project and post on the Smoothfoam Blog, make sure to check out the project and how I made it here.
A quick share today. I’ve got my little buddy coming over in a little bit for a play day and sleep-over.
We’ve got big plans; Garden Shop, Playdoh, Break the Ice, the movie Frozen w/ popcorn, and dinner out with Grandpa. It’s going to be a good day.
This tag was made with Basic Grey’s Herbs & Honey Collection for The Paper Forest Design Team.
One of the things I look for when I go treasure hunting are picture frames. Square ones in particular. I am just drawn to square frames. Doesn’t matter how ugly the picture is inside.
I gave the gold frame a white wash look with Tim Holtz Distress Paint in Antique Linen. (frame cost .50)
I made a simple 3″ pinwheel using two different pinks from the “Herbs & Honey” Collection. The middle of the pinwheel was made using “bottle cap” stickers from the same collection.
What do you look for when you go treasure hunting? (I think that sounds better than garage sales)
There’s nothing better than spending quality time with someone you love.
I knew as soon as I saw the pictures from “Nick and Grandma’s Mini Garden”, our special project, they would make wonderful scrapbook pages. (see the original post here) Lucky for me, my design team packet for The Paper Forest was the garden themed collection “Herbs & Honey” from Basic Grey.
I choose to keep the layouts simple with a focus on the story and the pictures.
Here’s my new class for May that I’m teaching at The Paper Forest in Washington, IL. You can sign up for the class by calling the store at 309-745-3440. I’d love it if you joined us.
Planning a Beach Vacation this year?
If so, here are a few rules you may want to consider.
I love it when you can use an item for multiple purposes.
Like the “All Mixed Up” chipboard album from Clear Scraps.
The chipboard album comes with six different overlapping pages.
I used the fifth page in the album to create my “Beach Rules” wall hanging.
To create the “Travel” album, I used the remaining 5 chipboard pages.
I painted three of the pages with acrylic paint the others are covered with papers from
Graphic 45’s “By the Sea” Collection.
I’m not sure it’s in the cards for me this year. But a girl can dream, can’t she.
