Pocketletters

Hi friends! Good golly! It's December! I know I've been really crummy with posting but I have a few projects to share with you now since it's been a while, Yes the pocketletter craze still has me in it's grasp but I've also discovered stuffed envelopes or something to that affect it's called which I think I'm going to give a whirl ;)

Any who here are a few pl's one of which went to India! My Christmas one was truly an honor because it went to Maria Cole from Paperiah who was on Graphic 45's dt and is their special projects designer. She asked to swap with me and you could've knocked me down with a feather. Click on her blog to see the amazing pl she sent to me!

First up Halloween -

Next up Thanksgiving using my hoarded A Place In Time from Graphic 45. This one went to India -

Last but not least my Christmas letter using an older Christmas line from Graphic 45, A Christmas Past.

The great thing about these little letters is I use quite a bit of my stash to make them. In these three not a single thing was bought. Oh and I must say I love my Silhouette Cameo! It cuts so beautifully :)

Pocketletter Fun!

OMG gang!!! It's been three months since I've checked in, holy macaroni! Somehow the summer came and went without a single post from me. I think that's a good thing...

Any way I have a pocketletter to share with you that traveled all the way to India! A sweet gal on the Pocketletter website reached out to me and we swapped. That's the beauty of these letters. You connect with awesome peeps all over the world!

We decided on Graphic 45 for the theme, but our choice of line. I did French Country. I really love this line and have several pieces horded.

I really love making these sweet letters. If you haven't tried it go to Youtube and search them our got to the Pocketletter site and see for yourself.

Be Mine Banner

Hi friends! A quick share today.This is a banner I made using Graphic 45's ABC Primer and By The Sea collections. I'm entering it in their February challenge. I love the versatility of their lines, there really aren't any bounderies.

I dipped my letters and the cute little scrabble printables in UTEE, sometimes I forget how awesome that stuff is! As of the last few projects I have fallen in love with it again.

I love the tulle for tying it together! Some hearts cut with my cricut and teeny flowers. A few cuttouts from A Place In Time to give it more embellishment.

More Than Words

Hi friends, thanks for stopping by! I have a new layout here featuring a sweet sweet pic of my baby Sophia holding my days old granddaughter Aelyn. What a precious memory to save. I'm entering it into this new challenge site, More Than Words. Give a click, it's a neat concept! The prompt is the word Wonderful, and show some sparkle. Well you all know that's a breeze for me ;) Love me some sparkle!

The pic I chose represents a small glimpse of all that is wonderful in my life. My baby isn't a baby any more, and the same for my granddaughter who is now a high school freshman, but they are truly wonderful beings! Being so close in age they're more like sisters than aunt and niece. I'm also using it for my song challenge over at scrapbook.com. My song was I Got You Babe from Sonny and Cher and decided to go this way with it.

We have Graphic 45's Little Darling,  Sweet Sentiments, and Once Upon A Springtime along with a smidgen of fussy cut flowers from Secret Garden. The flowers were made with Heartfelt Creations Sun Kissed Fleur stamp and die set which I colored with Lindy's mists, and the chippie is from Dusty Attic. A bit of texture paste and stenciling along with my butterflies and some stickles for sparkle.I love all the layers. A perfect memory saved. I have a Snapguide where you can view the process, just click.

Hope you like it and have a great rest of the week!

Some Fun Graphic 45 Home Decor

A quick check in to share some Halloween/fall decor I made with Graphic 45's An Eerie Tale line. This one is rather versatile, you can use it for other types of pieces too.

The colors here are gorgeous! First I mounted the paper on chipboard for stability. I made it dimensional with foam squares and added some stickles for my beloved sparkle. Fussy cutting and a vine cut with my cricut makes for a pretty little piece. I have it hanging in my home, some things I just can't part with...
