Moxxie {#One Star Player layout}

She shoots! She scores! And the crowd goes wild for Moxxie's new Basketball line! Whooooo!
I found these adorable pictures of my oldest when she was only a year old. She loved rolling that basketball around in my mother's kitchen. :) 
I cut down my basketball sheet by 1/2" on a side and 1/2" on the top and then centered it on a sheet of cardstock. Then added some brads and the cardstock stickers.
 I did some outlining with a black pen around some of the stickers to really make them stand out, like these banners. I also used some of the black alphas for the date.
Thanks for stopping by! :)

Nuts About Sketches {Daddy's Girl}

Good morning! Who caught the Superbowl game? We didn't. I had high hopes of getting sooo much crafting done and did not. BUT I did get a layout done with Nuts About Sketches new sketch. I have a picture of my youngest and her daddy when she was a few months old. It's one of my favorites of these two. 
Here's a few close up's of it. For the title I used some American Craft Glitter Thickers and some Pink Paislee alphabet stickers. The little wooden doily was one I had from one of my Scraptastic Kits. LOVE it! 
Love the look of cute little banners! Banner are one of my favorite embellishments right now, right along with enamel dots. Aren't those cute hearts from Lily Bee Designs adorable!
I love this washi tape with the cute little elephants. Just so cute.
 
Go see the sketch and other wonderful examples on Nuts About Sketches blog!

Nuts About Sketches {Dance to the Tune of Your Heart}

Time for a new sketch from Nuts About Sketches! Such a fun one too! 
I was out taking some Senior Pictures for a friend and my oldest daughter had come along to help me out. We were taking a pause from all the clicking and posing when I happened to look over to see where my daughter was. She was up on a hill side dancing around. I loved how she looked so graceful and loved the beautiful blue sky that was her background. It was such a perfect moment to capture. 
I used a sheet from Fancy Pants- What a Wonderful Day, cut it down and framed it with some darker gray cardstock. Then for the heart I cut it out from another sheet in that same line and then ran it through my crimper. I love the texture it adds to my layout. I also cut out the word "Dance" on my Silhouette twice, once on gray cardstock and again on a lighter yellow then layered and off set them a bit. Then used some red foil Thickers for my word "heart".
Here's some close ups of some of the embellishments. Love how the washi tape turned out. :)

Moxxie {Beauty layout}

Good morning! Boy do I have a treat for you! I've been playing with Moxxie's new Springtime line it's absolutely gorgeous!! Have you seen it? Well let me show it to you!
Absolutely gorgeous! I love the colors and the whimsy-ness of it. It worked beautifully for these pictures of my youngest daughter.
I started out by punching two different borders and sponging the edges with some Tim Holtz Vintage Photo Distressing Ink. I then did some folding on the green strip to create a faux ribbon.
I also did some fussy cutting for these tiny little dandelion seeds. I cut them out of another sheet of paper then layered them on this one using some 3D-Dots. I also added some Stickels to give them a bit of "bling". :)
I also added some Stickles to the rest of the white dandelions. It's a little hard to see in this picture but it really adds to it and looks beautiful. 
I absolutely love this new line! Thanks for stopping by! :)

Home Decorations {Valentine's Day}

  Hello! Do you know what's right around the corner!? Valentine's Day! I just adore that holiday. I love decorating for it! See what I mean! I just needed a new V-day decoration. ;)
I was wandering around Michaels the other day and found a cute wooden heart with another glued on top of it (I wish I would have taken a before picture but totally spaced it!). I also picked up the cutest roll of polka dotted burlap and some letters to spell out the word LOVE. I painted the bigger heart black and created some burlap rosettes that I hot glued down.
I then painted the smaller heart red and used it as my "O" in LOVE.
I then hot glued them down to a long strip of the burlap and stapled down a loop of burlap to the back of the big heart so I could hang it from my door. Absolutely LOVED how it turned out! Here's another look at it. 
Thanks so for stopping by! :)

Nuts About Sketches {Snowflakes are... layout}

Good morning! Hope everyone had a great weekend! Nuts About Sketches has a really fun two page layout sketch. 
I only used the left side for my layout. As I was going through my stuff I came across an older line from Fancy Pants that I absolutely love and thought it was perfect for my pictures! I love when everything comes together perfectly! ;)
I started out by inking up the edges of my paper and my pictures. I adhered my pictures and added some 3D-Dots to the middle picture to add some dimension to the layout. Next I added a cute heart sticker from the sticker sheet and and layered another sticker on top of the heart using some more 3D-dots and some brads on ends.
I then cut along the curves on another sheet and did some inking and distressing on them. Using it for my title.
Now for my favorite part! I added some Crystal Stickles to the snowflakes to make them shine.  Then I did some paper piercing and stitching into circles. Love how cute they turned out. :)
Make sure to check out the other layouts created by the other Nuts About Sketches design team members! Always great inspiration!
