Blog Makeover

Well it is finally done. My blog went through a makeover during these past couple months. And anyone who knows me personally - knows what a crazy schedule I live so getting help was a must for me. Thanks so much to Heather and Michelle for helping to bring the blog to this stage. I think they did a great job. If you are interested in their services you can find their information here:

Gratitude Notebook

This is a little Gratitude Notebook or Journal where you can write down the little things we are grateful for. This was quickly created and I think came together well.

Place Setting

I really loved this project. How cute would these be around the dinner table. I made a Thanksgiving one - and took a piece of designer series paper that I really didn't like to much. That way if I screwed it up - I wouldn't be too sad aboust missing the paper. Quite the opposite - I ended up really liking this paper for this project.

Sweet Centers

This turkey is made with the Sweet Centers stamp set and Sweet Treats Cups. If I can find the link to the tutorial - I will update this post with the link. Fun Fun!

Melinda's Box

This was one of my most favorite designer series papers from a couple years ago. I saw it on the cover of the Stampin Up catalog and loved the projects made with it so had to have it. So I got it and there it sat - year after year :) Melinda did a great job of taking this paper and turning it into her box. I love the way it all came together. Great job Melinda!

Rayelyn's Box

I forget the name of this paper - but it was a Christmas paper. Then she changed it so it was not a Christmas Box. I love the tree and it fit so well with these colors. I think it turned out great. Great job Rayelyn!

Mary's Box

Mary designed her box for a friends birthday. I wasn't sure how it would look using a Print design of designer series paper - but as it was boming together - I just love it. She chose Soft Sky and Chocolate Chip. Perfect color combinatiion :) Great job Mary!
