Sharing some recent publications

Hi everyone!  I must admit it slipped my mind to share these earlier.  I recently had a few layouts published in the Create: Sketches Idea Book 2013 that I would like to share with you.

Fabulous Friends Layout

This photo always makes me smile, our dog Roxy was just a puppy at the time and I am so glad that I captured this moment of her playing with my daughter Kalee.


You Are My Favorite Layout

I took this photo a few years ago of my nephew Derrick at a park on the Antioch piers. I love this photo.

Love This Smile Layout

I used lots of papers from Bella Blvd's Kiss Me collection on this layout, I love the color combo paired with this silly photo of my niece Sophia.

That's it for today, thanks for letting me share.  I think I am going to take my kids to the pool today, it is supposed to be 109 here.  Hot!!

sharing some recent pubs...

Good Morning,

I realized this morning that I am really behind on sharing some of my recent publications. So here we go...

In November, I shared this post on the WOW embossing powder blog. It was a team post, and the very last project on that post was a layout that I had published titled "Friends". That layout was published in September 2012 edition of Create: Stamping

I also had 3 other projects in that mag I created for WOW, that I haven't shared yet.

I used a Studio Calico kit for this first one...

Child's play

This layout was showcased in their Vintage section. I die cut the title letters and then heat embossed them with WOW! black glitter embossing powder.

This card was a lot of fun, I heat embossed on canvas.
A Tight Squeeze from Me to You

and for the last one, I heat embossed on fabric. I stamped my damask stamp in watermark ink and then heat embossed using clear embossing powder. The result was a very light design.
Puppy Love

That's it for today. I'm off to the gym. Be back with more projects tomorrow :)

sharing my first CK pub!

Happy Friday Friends,

Hope that your weekend is starting off well. It is a little chilly out this morning, so I am wrapped up in a blanket with a cup of Pumpkin Spice coffee catching up on blogging and hoping to get some play time in today. It's a perfect day to stay in and scrap!

I realized this morning that I have a recent publication that I haven't shared with you yet. So here we go...

This one, I am super excited about..

This was my first ever pub in Creating Keepsakes Magazine!

Dream Layout:

I was super excited to have this layout picked up. This was for a teen inspiration column in the July/August 2012 issue. The layout was about my daughter's dream of having a career in the fashion industry as a fashion designer. To highlight on the fashion trend I added bits of lace, sequins and fabric yoyo's to my layout.
Not only did they pick up my layout, but they also requested a photo of something in my daughter's room that inspires her. Since she has a setup in her room with a drawing desk and dress forms this photo was perfect to compliment the article.
Here is a peek of my layout in print:

If you would like to purchase this issue it is available here


Have a great weekend!
