We R Memory Keepers-Baby Mine...

We R Memory Keepers Baby Mine collection isn't just for those cute little baby pictures you have and I have a layout here showing you just how versatile this collection really is! While digging through some old photos that I found in a box, I came across these cute photos of my daughter when she was I think 2 or 3 years old. The bright pinks and greens were perfect. I also got out my Lucky 8 punch...which I might add is AWESOME!!! This is a definite must have, 8 cuts and you have a wonderful 12x12 die cut. I used both the inner and outer cut on mine and then cut it in half. I also did a little bit of stitching with the Sew Easy and some Bakers Twine to add a little bit of detail. This tool really lives up to it's name. I have always been afraid to stitch on my layouts...not anymore. I simply chose the head I wanted, ran it across my paper and like magic I had the perfect template to do my sewing. I did my stitching on some paper doilies...just the right touch to make these stand out. I hope you can see the possibilities this line has and hope you enjoy what I have have done with it.

Mother's Day Mini with August Moon...Vellum and Bling!

Hello everyone...happy middle of the week! I hope you all are enjoying the little sneaks all the Ruby Rock-It DT Girls have been showing you at the Ruby Rock-It Blog with our August Moon minis. I am really enjoying them all. I think it is really neat to see eveyone's different take on this wonderful line. With Mother's Day sneaking up on us, I decided to make something for my mom. I wanted to take making a card into a whole new direction. I took a poem and broke it into verses and incorporated them on each page of the mini album creating a mini album card. This is just the first half of my mini, I will be showing it in it's completion along with details at the end of the month...hope you all come back to see it!

What a D-Lite with Momenta!

Today on the Momenta blog they are highlighting some of the D-Lite team members so if you go over there you will see in the many wonderful projects something from me! I wanted to make something a little different so I made a mini album out of a manilla file folder. It is perfect for all of those little photos you have or even wallet sized photos from photo shoots...the possibilities are endless.



All the products I used are from the Family Affair line. You can find them here along with many other wonderful products.

A couple of My Little Shoebox projects....

Just a real quick post here today...I have a ton of stuff that needs to get done around the house starting NOW! I just wanted to share with you a couple of projects I made using some MLS...hope you enjoy and have a wonderful weekend!!

Beautiful weather and Ruby Rock-It August Moon go hand in hand!

We have been having some unusual spring weather here in Chicago...actually I should should say summer like weather. Last week we made it up to 87 degrees in March in Chicago! This weather along with the beautiful soft summery feel of the Ruby Rock-It August Moon collection really got me motivated to make this card. The colors and prints in this line are just amazing. I did some fussy cutting and added some of the wonderful fabric trim and mini pearl accents and created this wonderful step card. I hope you enjoy it!
