Heartfelt Blog Hop

Hi there. Welcome to My Little Shoebox's blog Hop featuring Heartfelt and an awesome sketch created by our own Melinda Spinks. Heartfelt is My Little Shoebox's newest release that has just hit the stores. If you started here, please hop over to My Little Shoebox and get started over there.
If you just came from Norine's blog , then you are right on track. Isn't she amazing! Love her take on the sketch!

This is the lovely sketch that Melinda created. It has just the right feel for the Heartfelt line!

This is the layout that I created. I changed my photos to black and white. I felt it worked better not having all of the color interfere with the soft colors of the Heartfelt line.

Please leave a comment and become a follower of mine =D. Then hop on over to the ever talented Pearl's blog . We would love to see your take on this layout as well! All of the info is at the My Little Shoebox blog. And of course, there is a prize to be won.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great weekend =D

Home Tweet Home

Hi everyone. Hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day! I know I did. This month for My Little Shoebox I created 6 cards using the Home Tweet Home line. I had a ton of fun trying to create 6 cards that were unique.

This first card is just a sweet card for back to school time. I love it because it so doesn't look like Home Tweet Home at all. I also used Glue Arts Glue Glider Pro and their U-Cut It Foam adhesive. What a cool concept- cut your foam adhesive to whatever shape you might need!

This card is just a sweet card to send to a friend- let them know how much you care! I used liquid pearls to create some dimension on the cloud cardstock sticker.


So check out Glue Arts website . You can check out all of their awesome products or click onto their blog and get inspired.

Check back for the rest of my cards in the upcoming days. Thanks for stopping by.

Heartfelt Sneak Peek

Happy belated Mother's Day. Hope you had a peaceful, relaxing day. I have a "simple" request for both Mother's Day and my birthday: no cooking, no cleaning, no laundry and no bickering (why is this one so difficult to have? Shouldn't teenagers behave like angels? hee hee)

Have you seen the new Heartfelt collection by My Little Shoebox? It's our newest release and we are very excited about it!

Here's a little sneak peek of a layout I created with it.

Thanks for stopping by =D

Pagemaps

Hi there. Are you ever in need of inspiration? I know that I definitely get in a slump and have no mojo. So what's a scrapper to do? Why, go to Pagemaps.
Each and every month, you will find new and exciting sketches for not just layouts, but cards as well.

I had the honor of creating for Pagemaps for the month of April. This is the sketch that I was given. I have to say, I have been a 12x12 scrapper for years, but the 81/2 x 11 size has really grown on me!

I created this layout of my dear little Pumpkin using Prima's new line Madeline. I absolutely love Prima and all of their pretties and frillies.

Thanks for checking. Have a great week =D
