May 2013 ~ Stamp of the Month

This month is national scrapbooking month

 ~  Dream Pop is a really cute Springtime B&T paper pack ~ 

See a video here...Dream Pop

And here is a card I created with the May Stamp of the Month...

Keep playing with Paper...

Oh Tommy Boy!

Well I was in a blog hop back in January/February & the paper collection I choose was 'Tommy' ~ 

It was going to be a challenge as it is a nautical theme collection & we are car people!!!

so I played a bit & came up with these 2 projects:

My younger Son & my DH love cars... and they attend many car shows over the years ~ 

And I made this treat container for my DH ~ He is my anchor!

This is an idea of what can be done with our hinged frame & the Tommy Paper ~ 

Have fun playing with paper...

April Showers bring May Flowers...and bees!

Good morning ~ All set for spring to arrive any day now ~ how about you?

This is a great paper collection called Buzz & Bumble ~ it is all about bees & I just love it!
I have very good friends that are bee keepers so I think of Shari & Bill at Betsy Bee Homey when I see this collection ~

 We created this 'Workshop on the Go' Layout at our Monthly get together in Kingston ~ 

as well as cards using this paper collection

I hope spring comes your way real soon

Happy March Break ~

So you are heading out on vacation to the Sunny South...
