Barbie house

My daughter has not played with Barbies for some time now. However, she has been watching You tube video's on how to make Barbie furniture for her house and asked that we get a Barbie so she could start making these things. This is what she has created so far.

Two layouts for a challenge

The Scrapbook steals had a blog challenge on Friday so I worked on these two layouts to submit to the challenge.

The first one was for a Keeping it Real challenge. I picked this picture because it showed just how sad the homemade birthday cake turned out. As described by my daughter "Fail". I would have to agree!

The second challenge was to incorporate - Some old (pictures), something new (Echo Park Playground collection) and something blue -paper - into the layout. This was what I created.

The winners will be selected on Wednesday! Fingers crossed!

12 Days of Christmas

I created a one page layout from the 12 Day's of Christmas Collection from My Mind's Eye. I used the Sketch provided by Scrapbook Steals blog for their mid week mojo sketch challenge. This is Amethyst week #1 challenge.

I love My Mind's Eye!!

Tiny Pocket Tank

I finished this tank top last weekend but wasn't able to get a picture of it till today. This was a PDF pattern for the Tiny Pocket Tank top from Grainline Studio. The reason I am not wearing the tank to show you what it looks like was because it is too big. This is exactly why I make prototypes when doing a new pattern. I use fabric that I am not totally in love with. That way if it doesn't turn out I won't be too disappointed. I do love the way this came together and I think it will be really easy to make another one - just in the next size down!

Cute as a Button

I completed another two page layout this weekend. I used a sketch from Sketches for Scrapbooking- big surprise. The paper collection was the Lime Twist line from My Minds Eye.

Two pages:

Still lots more to get done in order to keep up with the using products in 30 days!

One page layout

As a result of my use purchases in 30 days I have got a lot of stuff I need to get done! I also need to stop buying new stuff!! So, in order to get things done quickly I did a one page layout. I used my brand new Martha Stewart punch and the paper line is Sassafras the "Count Me In" collection.

Here is a close up of the border I made using the Martha Stewart punch.

I love the quality of the Martha Steward punches! Very nice!



Water Balloons

I worked on a two page layout last night. I used the American Crafts "Daydreams" collection. I love the colours in this one. I used a sketch from "Sketches for scrapbooking Volume 6". I love their sketches!

Two pages:

And there is even journalling on this page!!

Now off to create another one!!

14 Days of Valentine's - Day 14

Happy Valentine's Day!! To end off the 14 days the surprise is a list of the 10 things I love about my daughter:

These were put into a little box:

The cutest one being "You knock my socks off!" because they included a pair of socks with hearts all over them!

I hope everyone has an awesome Valentine's Day!!



14 Days of Valentine's- Day 13

Today's Valentine surprise is one of my daughters favourite things - Hot Tamales! The card reads "You are one Hot Tamale!". Given her temper, at times, I felt this was fitting and it is her favourite candy so I went with it!
