to see my work there as a designer. **GRIN** I'm pretty proud

to make me happy! LOL!).

Two of a Kind

This layout was posted on the Jillibean Soup blog yesterday. I mixed various lines and used lots of Maya Mist. I've been having blast with my sewing machine and adding texture to my projects. This machine was such a great purchase, thanks mom!!! To create the polka dot effect I used my circle punch and scrap paper. I did put a bit of adhesive on the circle so they would stay in place when I misted the cardstock. I inked the alphas with pink and black to add color. Hope you like!

Supplies:
Jillibean SoupPatterned Paper: Grandma's Christmas Soup/Pinch Christmas Cheer/Chives; Soup Staples/Yellow Sugar
Journaling Sprouts: Green Circle on White
Corrugated Alphas: Kraft

Just Because She Can

I love this paper collection by Cosmo Cricket, it's called Nutmeg. I know it's not a new release but it's the first time I've used it and I can't wait to use it again. The colors and wood grain paper is sooo fabulous! This lo is about the fact that Brianna would call Dan "maman" for the longest time and one day she started saying "papa" instead. I was actually very comical!

In other fun scrappy news, check out this post on the Jillibean Soup! It was so awesome to see myself on there as an official member, YAY!!!!

Lori recently revealed the fabulous March/April kit. I love this new collection by MME, definitely a kit worth getting! You can see more here!



That's all for tonight! Lots to do still before another crazy week arrives.
Thanks for the visit and the sweet comments.

BFF Sisters *Color Conspiracy*

I was recently approached by Maya, the owner of Color Conspiracy a European Scrapbooking Manufacturer to guest design with her fabulous products! I was so amazed when I received my box of goodies, of course I started playing right away!

This lo is created with the Divine Epok collection. Love the soft, girly colors of the papers. I also used the matching tags.



The butterfly is decorated with pieces of Color Conspiracy fabulous transparencies. I cut out the shape and glued it to the butterfly for a fun effect.



You can check out Maya's blog at the link above. I'll be back with more projects very soon.

Thanks for the visit friends. M xo
