Mothers Day Cards and a Challenge
Hello, Diana here to share three Mothers day Cards I made inspired by these cute puffie bird embellishments from KI Memories.
The card size is 3.5” X 3.5”, I used a Maya road chip frame that I covered with acrylic paint, added some ribbon and lace, a few extra decorations like brads and gems, and finally a rub-on with the word Celebrate.


And now a challenge, in honor of mothers day make a layout about someone in your life that is a mom, it can be your own mom, your mother in law, grandmother, an aunt or even yourself, post it to the Lets Scrap Group in our Scrappy Community, I'll post them here on May25th.
I made this layout of my mom using a sketch from Inspired Blueprints
In My Heart Forever
Wishing you all a Happy Mothers Day in advance!

Altered envelopes
Good morning! Today I wanted to share a little project that I worked on over the weekend. The project came about because I absolutely love Maya Rd. envelopes but I struggle with just how to use them. So, I decided I would alter them and use them as a card.
Here is the first one I created:

April's Art Journal Friday
Welcome to this month's Art Journal Friday! With May nearly here and the weather being SOOO much better (aren't you just loving it!) I am feeling colours this month - the light is better and lasts longer, and the world looks completely different just for having a little sunshine fall upon it :)

Layouts
A few weeks back I posted a challenge about making a layout using less then 5 types of non paper embellishments, this is not easy for me because I am guilty of over decorating my pages, but I managed to make this layout using only: gems, ribbon and a glitter sticker.
Jean Marmo
Jean used corks and a bright flower that looks amazing on her page.

Beautiful!! thank you ladies for sharing with us your wonderful work.

Happy Earth Day!
Happy Earth Day bloggers! We all hope that you are able to do something good for the planet today whether it be big or small. Today, I'd like to show you how I repurposed an item that some people might throw away.
I started with this Crystal Light container. I love the shape of this and I knew it would be good for some sort of project. I decided I would get a head start on the end of the year teacher gifts with this and make it into a gift container for a set of bookmarks for my daughter's third grade teacher.
I love Crate Paper's Emma Shoppe line and I decided to use that on this container. To fully use every spare bit of that paper, I lined the outside of this container with the very first sheet of paper that was in the collection pack; you know the one that shows you a sample of each of the papers in the pack? I like to do that with my collection packs. Gotta use every last bit! :) I added lace, a Bazzill bloom, Crate paper accents, including the Crate Paper brad. I recommend using Yes Paste as your adhesive! It is able to stick to plastic and does so with ease!

Soda Pop Bottle & Wine Cork Picture Holders
Hello, I’m back to share another Green Project.
I saved these bottles because of there cute and small shape and decided to use them as Picture Holders with the help of a Wine Cork and Tim Holtz Memo Pins
For the bottle decoration I used one of my favorite Crate paper line: Restoration, the colorful and fun vintage design goes perfect with the photos I selected of my parents back in there dating days.
I protected the photos with Therm-O-Web Self Adhesive Laminate and matted them on a piece of pattern paper.
