Hi Everyone!
Today is the design team reveal of the beautiful May Kit "Yesterdays"

This is a stunning kit with top of the line manufacturers- Pink Paislee, Authentique and Prima!!!
Those gorgeous doilies are from Gina's Designs!!!

This months sketch by our talented sketch artist  Charlotte.

My take on the sketch this month.

This is a photo of my daughter and I taken a loooong time ago.
Last month our fabulous guest designer Lisa Gregory showed us how to make these beautiful dogwood blossoms. I happened to have a sizzix die called flower and leave and the shape of the petals was perfect to create this flower. After I ran my die through I cut each petal off and adhered it to a circle. I inked the petals as Lisa showed us in her tutorial. I did my own thing with the centers using a small flower punch to create this look.


This months kit features these beautiful mistables and trinkets. I added a chipboard word phrase from Gina's Designs. Mel really knows how to pack a kit full of goodness. I used a mistable banner and some of the beautiful yellow toned petaloo florals.


Our kit this month also included these spectacular laser cut doilies from Gina's Designs as well as the beautiful bird cage.


Another view of this page.


For my next project I used some of the beautiful Prima papers.
My background paper is light pink cardstock from our cardstock add on. I misted it with Lindys and sewed the edges.

This is a photo of my daughter when she was a babe. I chose a circle themed design for this project.

I fussy cut the fairy from the Prima paper. Take a peek at these doilies from Gina's - gorgeous eh?

The word phrase is also Gina's. Lot's of beautiful Petaloo in this months kit!

I die cut Spellbinders leaves and CottageCutz leaves on this page.

Just a little close up of the title. I used Lindys directly on the chipboard. In real life it has a fantastic shimmer which is hard to pick up in the photo.

Today 
I 
am sharing 
>>a gift box and tag <<
in 
celebration of Mothers Day!

Ruby Rock It 
is teaming up with Fiskars this month and I was lucky enough to get some fabulous punches to work with!

Those of you who know me, know I love to alter Laughing Cow cheese boxes. They are truly awesome for so many different projects. Plus I'm saving the environment by recycling them into something beautiful right???

What Mom wouldn't love to receive some jewelry or a gift card packaged inside this box?

I used the beautiful Reminisce Collection to create this gift box and tag. I covered the box inside and out and distressed the edges.

I used Reminisce papers to cut out the Vintage Dress Form Die from Cottage Cutz and layered it over the circle I punched with my Fiskars XXXL Lever Punch.

I used the ruler from some of the packaging in the quilling kit to embellish the front of my box. The packaging is just as beautiful as the product inside it!

I did some distressed punching along the sides of the box.

The little flower on the tag is a quilled flower I created direct from the quilling kit. I took a Kraft tag and stamped the front and back. I dressed it up with die cuts from the Reminisce die cut pack.
The back of the tag is stamped and is wishing Mom a 
"Happy Mothers Day"

"hi" Card


Hi Everyone! Today I am sharing a card I created using the beautiful new Floral Notecard from the This N That collection at CottageCutz. You must stop by and see this collection in it's entirety! Sweet designs that are perfect for cards and tags!
Several papers were layered and then I added the Floral notecard and used it as the top layer on the card. I love the cut out design and topped it off with some die cut letters.


My favorite type of bows are ones created with seam binding. I use them all the time and love to color them with glimmer mists.


The little butterfly is the Butterfly Mini. I embossed it and then lightly went over it with ink. I also added some pearls to the body.

I have found a new love in card making and CottageCutz dies are just perfect for this type of art!
