Hello again!
In other (crafting) news...I've been contributing (alot) over at the Reminisce blog! Love that their blog is active again! Here's some of my recent creations that have been shared over there in May...
Some In Bloom yumminess...
Detail shot:
Some Graduation Celebration items (too bad I don't know any grads this year...but the frame made it to a good home!)
and a mini album with pocket pull outs:
and some two pagers, one with the NEW 4th/DC line:
and one with a FAVE, Monkey Adventures:
Here's to wishing for MORE creative time in June!! Toodles!
I've been creating up a storm lately...here's the latest 2 projects, both using the new release "In Bloom" from Reminisce (the projects are up on the Reminisce blog too--so my apologies if you're viewing them 2x!!) If you haven't seen the IN BLOOM line yet, it's a great new collection of blooms and butterflies, in purples, pinks, greens and more!! I love it!
Here's an altered frame featuring butterflies....and my daughter....
and a layout featuring BOTH my kidlets....
Toodles all...off to burn off some more creative energy!!
Reminsce released a new collection today...In Bloom!! It's a lovely collection of florals and tonal patterns...with PURPLE (a current fave color) and pink and green...it soft and pretty and made me think of my MOM...so I covered this BoBunny mini album for her for Mother's Day...super happy with the results (I'm sure she'll love it too!!)
Check out the inspiration from the other designers at the Reminisce Blog!

Here is my creation with the FANTASTIC new Reminisce Monkey Adventures papers....It's a birthday banner with cupcake holders and cupcake flags too!!
I mixed in some of the Glitter Factory glitter papers...just for fun...here's a close up of one of the Maya Road banner pennants....
I painted the scalloped background pieces white, and covered the front piece with the Reminisce Monkey Adventure paper...a scalloped circle punch layered under two circle punches created the background for the Monkey Adventure sticker from the Racing Icon Sticker sheet! Aren't they CUTE!!
The cupcake flags are created just like the Scalloped piece above and then adhered to a flat wooden craft stick. The 3D Monkey Adventures stickers were used as embellishments, along with the number '4' from the Santa's Workshop Alphabet stickers
The cupcake sleeves are super easy to make too! I made a template and then traced it onto the patterned paper, after cutting, I use a corner punch to create the top detail...a quick wrap around and a few staples and I'm done!!
