New Echo park papers...

These new Echo Park papers called Victoria garden's

is right up my alley and were perfect to do my daughters prom

photo's and make a few cards.  I have lots left over so I will have

to make up some fun flowers and make some more cards

this weekend after my class but until then here is a few 

things I did last night...

the paper has all of these cute little tags

that are perfect for cards ...

Thanks for stopping to see what's up in

my part of So Cal and have a great day!!

Summertime Fun

I have lots to add today since I got this idea to use my

new Little Yellow Bicycle to make a Recipe Box

and a few other things.  The colors were super bright and

filled with lemons and watermelons and things that would

be perfect to hold recipes for my summer goodies that I 

make when the temperatures are super hot and I would rather

be cooking on the barbeque or making salads.

For this project I cut 2 pieces of paper 12 x 4 and glued them

together and used my favorite Scor tape to hold it on to the

metal lunch tin box that I purchased.

I cut a white Spellbinders scallop and put the word recipes on it 

and used one of the clear transparencies by LYB over it. 

For the border I used a Martha Stewart punch and glued that on the top and

bottom of the lunchpail and then added ribbons and some of the

 flower stickers and buttons that come with the set.

For the inside I made dividers for my recipes

and decorated them with scraps of paper. I can't 

wait to put in lots of fun recipes now :)

I was in a creative mood and wanted to find

a few cheap things to create with so I hit the $1 store

and found this cute dry erase board so I created

the backround on a flat canvas board for stability

and added lots of chipboard pieces and used my 

handy dandy crop a dile to make holes for a ribbon

at the top to hang it up in the kitchen.  And now here

is a plug for my favorite glue..  I used Scotch quick dry

adhesive to glue all this down and no lie it only took me

about 10 mins to put it together once all the pieces were 

cut... it works awesome for flowers too.

Here are a few cards I made with the scraps from

the first 2 projects.  They are super simple from my

normal things but sometimes you need a quick card

to give and its fun to make things to have ready when

you need them for a gift or just to send......

Thanks for stopping by...

Disney magic

I could not wait to post some of the things that I am

making for our Disney Themed area at the shop so 

here is 2 of them until I can photograph the rest.  

My dream job was designing for disney parades but

being a mom put that on the back burners so this is

the next best thing.... I love making Disney projects and

being so close to that Magical land and the Big Mouse

makes it that much more fun!!!

These are New papers from Creative Imaginations

and they have pirate themes and cars and spaceships 

and lots of my favorite mouse too.  You are going

to love this with all the silver on it.  It is sooooo cute!!

This is a fun catch all or candy box that Margaret Young

from Pine Cone Press designed and I made it with

the new Creative Imaginations papers.  It is from a

12x12 piece of paper folded in thirds and folded in on 

the ends and held together with 2 metal rings.  I also added

some EK puffy stickers and lots of matching ribbons on

the top with a tag that I made.  I love this and it would

be so cute for centerpieces for a party or just to give as

a gift... It has my mind working overtime... I don't know if

that is a good thing or not...

Thanks for stopping by and check back I will have

lots more Disney and some Princess things too!!

I have lots of new pages to share this week and 

there is no rhyme or reason to them other than 

I had so many photos that I loved and wanted to catch

up with on a few of them and get them in books before

I go on another trip and have more things to scrap.

And there is so many cute things coming out for CHA

next week I need to get going so I can get some of it!!

This is just a simple page that I did with Basic Greys

new school line.  I really liked the print in the back and

kind of mixed in some lace and ribbon and some of the

extras from another line that went good with it.

This is one of my dogs gettin cooled off for the day

with a bath.  He is such a good dog :)

On this page I layered some papers and stickers from

Echo Park and Basic Grey .  I love snowflakes and only

wish that we had more snow here in So Cal....

This is the back gardens at Sacre Coeur in Paris. We had such

a great time there and the view was just breathtaking!!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!

 I am way late for 4th of July photos but just

remembered I had these and thought it would be

fun to share them.  We went down to Dana Point 

to visit with friends and spend a wonderful afternoon

at the beach and got to see some beautiful fireworks

 this year.  Someone was playing some patriotic music
 on a radio somewhere so it was pretty spectacular
 to see all the fireworks and all the boats out

on the water when they all lit up.  

We had a really, really wonderful day :)

A Day at the Aquarium

One of my most favorite places to spend a morning is

to go to the Long Beach Aquarium and to Bubba Gumps

for lunch.  We had the chance last weekend and I tried a

different camera to get some photos and they came out 

pretty good.  I wanted to scrap them but thought i better just 

share and get those done maybe this week.  

the jelleyfish were so cool and this one

liked to have it's picture taken :)

 The plant life under the ocean can be really

gorgeous and the colors in this were so pretty...

 The lighting in the tank made this look like 

they were swimming in outer space. It's hard

to believe they are so deadly poisonous....

 And lastly this is my favorite!!  I love sea horses ever

since i can remember and these cool little guys can

only be found in Australia... Going to have to go there 

for an Aquarium trip I guess along with other things!!

Thanks for stopping by,
