Simply Beautiful with Momenta

Today I have this layout up on the Practical Scrappers blog. The assignment.....to machine stitch on a layout.  And oh how I love to pull my sewing machine out to give a little extra umph to my layouts and cards! So making this layout was a little too much fun for me.....if that's possible.

For the big machine stitched butterfly, I cut out a butterfly with the Cricut and then traced it onto my layout. Then I just ran it through my sewing machine following the lines. Well, actually I ran it though twice. The same goes for the outline stitching but I only stitched one line.

These papers are the beautiful Momenta Kaleidoscope collection and they quickly became my favorite papers to work with but this time I used little bits and pieces so the focal point would be the picture of my beautiful baby girl and the butterflies.



Hope you like it and that it inspires you to pull your machine out and give your own pages some stitched umph!! :)

SRM's Thank you stickers

Happy Memorial Day!! Hope everyone is having a great day today and had a great weekend!

Today I want to share some cards that I made for Gracie's Pre-K teachers who have been awesome teachers this past school year. She has loved every craft, event, and just the little everyday things that they had for the kids to do. So to show my appreciation for all they've done, I made these cards to give to them plus some other fun goodies.

And of course, I had to use my fabulous SRM stickers to help with the sentiments!!




Thanks for taking a look!!

Congrats and Birthday Wishes

Hi guys!! How's it going?!?! Does anyone remember me?  I hate that I have been neglecting my blog so I wanted to make a quick stop by to show you all a little sumpin sumpin I've been working on. I really have been working on a lot of DT projects but I just can't show you right now. Plus, I have been a mad woman cleaning on this house and purging all at the same time. Don't like doing it but I love the results!! The reason for this....... my oldest is getting ready to graduate high school and we are having lots of family over for a party Saturday. :( Makes me sad every time I think about it......the graduating part, not the family coming over. LOL!!

Ok, onto some cards that I've made recently.


A card for my baby!



Have I told you all how much I LOVE my SRM stickers? OMGoodness, they are so much fun! And I love that special look they give all of my projects! Here is a sweet little butterfly birthday wishes card that I recently made and immediately fell in love with. Not sure who I'll give it to but some lucky family member will get it! :) I'll be back Saturday to show you all some more cards that I've made with those wonderful little  
SRM stickers!!
