Hello There!

Hi all!!

I'm baaaaaccckkkk!! Wow! I didn't realize that I was gone for so long! I had a good reason for my break from the blog / craft world though....

I had a baby girl!!

Her name is Abby Iris, and we had her mid December.

Now that I'm getting more sleep, I thought I'd get back into crafting again. And good timing too, since Time for Tea Designs is having a special sale for Valentine's!! The code on Jo's site is good for one week only. And she's got a freebie mini kit too!! Super cute! Check it out here!

I got inspired to make a Valentine's Day for my hubby. I used one of Jo's earlier stamps -- Fall Love. Love her sweater!

More on Abby later!! XO!

The Last of my Berry Sweet Cut & Print projects.

Good Monday morning, everyone!! And if you live in the U.S., Happy President's Day!

I hope all of you also had a great Valentine's Day. My hubby and I had a relaxing and simple last couple of days dining at one of those fancy restaurants with a set Love Day menu, seeing a couple of movies at the theater, and snuggling on the couch (the kids were at my in-laws...nice! But I ended up missing them a ton). Usually, weekends are hectic with the chores and parties as I work every other weekend. But yesterday, I crafted all day and he was pretty laid back too.

Because of the Holiday and because of my long days at work, we are both off today as well. Time for more family fun!

But Mondays also mean a new project as one of The Greeting Farm's Guest DTs for their Berry Sweet line.

This week's theme is Anything Goes, so I did another Project Life-ish spread. I've always wanted to try one of those coin collector's sheets so I got some from Amazon. I used up random pics from last year that I didn't end up scrapping.



Because the pockets were only 2x2, I left them pretty much undecorated so I finished this page pretty fast. The Berry Sweet Daily Life kit is perfect for this because you could dress them up or leave them simple, they'd still look adorable with your pics!

My next project is a card, of course :). I used Amelia from Little Dreamer (OA). Also added some Amy Tangerine and Kate Spade washi tape.



Thanks for visiting! Make sure you head on over to the TGF blog and the rest of the GDTs - Claudie and Jerodelle.

See you soon!!

Oh, Romeo, Romeo....where fore art thou, Romeo?

Hello all!!

It's time for another Milk Coffee Challenge, and this week, it's all about Love and Valentine's Day.

I used Romeo and Juliet for this one, of course! I tried to go for that romantic, vintage feel. It was very interesting trying to color in what I wanted to look like velvet fabric, LOL!

You've got two week to play! Remember that you do not have to use Milk Coffee images to play, but be sure to check their etsy store out. They've got such adorable stamps, and I love how they have a variety of different styles.. from quirky to sophisticated images! Please also visit the blog for the rules and inspiration from the other DT members.



Hope I did these beautiful stamps some justice! And I also hope you get to play along!

Till next time! Have a great evening!

T4TD's First Love.

Good evening, peeps!!

I had already made my hubby a Valentine's card but when I saw Time for Tea Design's First Love, I knew I'd probably change it.

She is just so cute, and her hair is fabulous! I decided to do ombre since I've always loved that style. But I've also been too chicken to do it to my own hair. I also wanted to try out these graphic designs on her 'jeggings.' I can't pull it off in real life, but I think it looks awesome on her. I drew the triangular and dotted shapes with a Copic multi-liner.



And I just LOVE Amy Tangerine's new Plus One line... the sentiment is from that. Isn't it gorgeous? I love that it looks hand-written! I also re-purposed the envelope tissue paper from Kikki K's packaging and did some fringing. The textures add some dimensions.

See you all in about an hour (my card for Milk Coffee is up next :)),



P.S. My husband doesn't really look at my craft blog. Hope he doesn't start now :).
