Christmas in July

When the weather heats up, I find myself longing for the coolness of my studio.  What better way than to get a jump start on creating your Christmas cards now?

It is super easy to make beautiful cards to share using a few papers, embellishments and a little watercolor.

 I used beautiful papers, stickers, dies and watercolors by Melissa Frances. I love the softness of this card using watercolors with the bold reds.  

I hope you enjoyed a little Christmas inspiration... I can almost hear the Christmas carols now!

Wishing you a wonderful day, dear friends.

There are moments when God brings beautifully courageous people in our lives...

Good Friends Card

Hello ribbon lovers!  Today, I am sharing a sweet card using beautiful ribbon, lace and flowers by Really Reasonable Ribbons.

I used one of the gorgeous blue ribbons from the Ocean Breeze Ribbon Club Assortment.

I love the dainty Debra Natural Crochet Lace.  It creates a sweet accent to the vintage image.  Next I tucked the Mixed White and Pink Sweetheart Blossoms.

I hope you enjoyed this sweet and easy card.

Recipe Card

This Recipe Card that I created using the products from Melissa Frances, brings makes wonderful memories... 

Some of the sweetest times I remember growing up, is spending time in the kitchen with my mom whipping up a batch of baked goodies.  

 The hum of the mixer was music to our ears. After the batter was mixed and poured into the pan, we girls would line up to lick the beaters.So many sweet memories in the kitchen. 

Farmers Market Coffee Canvas

Do you enjoy decorating in the farmhouse style? Combining elements of the Architextures paper and embellishments makes it easy to create farmhouse accents to add to your home.

I am sharing a tutorial on how I created my farmers market coffee canvas on the CCB blog.

Scrapbook your Heritage Photos

It is easy to scrapbook your current photos, but don't forget to document your heritage photos too.  

For years, I painstakingly tried to scrapbook my albums in chronological order.  Now, I give myself freedom to scrapbook what is inspiring to me at the time and slip them into my albums.  

Now, you can find heritage album pages intermixed with current layouts.  I love mixing these different layouts as it gives a better glimpse into our family.
