There's a Party Goin' On Right Here.......

........A Suess A Bration.......that comes around once a year! 

Oh Boy......I couldn't resist!  lol ;)


What I have to share today is a scrapbook layout I made a few weeks ago.  My daughter's school had a week long celebration for Dr. Suess' birthday.  Everyday they were to wear/do something different.....I thought it would be fun to document it.

I got my inspiration from a layout I saw online or on Pinterest.  I spend so many hours online looking for inspiration researching that I sometimes get something in my head and forget exactly where I saw it.  Wanna see it?

That about sums up today - off to get some work done.....{{sigh}} - UGH is more like it......I just want to create or "research"  lol!!!

Have a wonderful day!

Prizes ALL Around!!!

PCS High Tea Blog Hop

*NOTE – High Tea blog hop officially starts March 28th so if you’re here a little early, be sure to come back and see all of the projects the PCS design team has created for you.


Welcome to the Paper Crafters Sampler “High Tea” blog hop featuring our 3D teapot template from the March issue of the Paper Crafters Sampler entitled, “Orange Blossom Tearoom”.

With the current trend of tea images in the paper crafting world, it only seemed appropriate to offer a tea-related template, and that is our newest “High Tea” 3D, teapot.

Now-a-days, teapot come in so many sizes and shapes, it was easy to select one for my inspiration. What did you think of what I’ve created ?

I took my inspiration from pictures of Vintage French Enamelware Coffee Pots - I think they look more like modern day tea pots ;)  Here is my inspiration photo:

I did a fun little technique to get mine spotty and shiney :)  I first cut out the template and then went to town.  This template was very easy to put together and super fun!!  Here are some shots of it:

The lid even comes OFF!!!  And there is an opening in the spout to pour treats out of!

I had SO much fun embellishing this beauty!  Here is a close up of the flowers and hopefully a better picture of the finish of the tea pot :

Have I told You Lately........

.....that I love this designer series paper???

I can't believe that it is available for such a short time - Sale a Bration Rocked!!  Only a few more days left.

I decided to do something a little different with the ribbon that is in the Everyday Enchantment collection.  We curled it like curly ribbon in club last month, I heated it with my heat tool wrapped around a pencil for the Limoge Trinket box a post or two earlier.  Wonder what I did with today's post????  Hmmmm.....


Well I have a scrapbook layout to share today.  I have VERY few pictures of my daughter and I together because I am the one always behind the lense......but one day I handed my camera to the hubby and he clicked a few pictures for me.  So I had to scrap it, right?  lol  Wanna see?

I just swoon over this pack of paper - {{sigh}}

Take a closer look at the flowers.  I used the mixed bunch punch and various flower dies in my big shot.

Did you see it??  Did you?
What I did with the ribbon???

Go back up and look again - now do you see?

Yes - I pierced circles on my layout and used the sale a bration ribbon to stitch on the layout.  cute?  right?


Well, thanks for checking in on me today - now to getr the little one out to the bus stop :)

Will you put it with a Fox?

Or will you put it in this box?


Sorry {blush} - could't resist.  :)

I bet you are really wondering where I am going with this........I know I sure would be.....LOL



Well - I have still been tinkering with the templates from Paper Crafters Sampler Library and I had to try one of the Limoge Trinket Boxes from 2011 Christmas Issue.  I mean -I had to - how could you not want to try one of these awesome boxes?

So - You wanna see my version of the Limoge Trinket Box?  I would love to share it with you.

I am really  - I mean REALLY - gonna miss the Sale A Bration designer series paper, Everyday Enchantment.  It is just so beautiful!

And not to mention that there is a coordinating pack of brads and organza ribbon that you can also get for FREE!  Here is a closer shot of the flower on top. 

Did you see that curled up ribbon?  I took the ribbon and taped the end to a pencil (it was closest - looking for a round dowel rod was out of the question - lol!) and spiralled (is that a word?) it around the pencil and taped the other end to the pencil.  Then I pulled out my trusty Heat tool and heated it up.  Let it cool and took off pencil - PERFECT - cool curled ribbon.  {{luv}}

I would love your thoughts on this cutie -
