My teammate Tracey sparked my interest in these sweet little monkeys.  This is a Scrapbook Page Boarder set..i used the darling monkeys and title from CREATIVE KUTS its called MONKEY SEE... MONKEY DO.   Perfect for the MOM who has loads of monkeys to deal with..and we all know how our littler monkeys copy the bigger ones!  Here is MONKEY SEE... MONKEY DO~





This is a Mothers Day card i made from the Mariposa line from DCWV...it has such beautifully design printed paper and it is sugared a little here and there too.   The blooms are handmade by me with black textured cardstock. Thanks for looking!

Remember When

Hello~
             Todays Project is a set of scrapbook pages that i've named REMEMBER WHEN.

 
As you can probably guess..i made this set of pages to help tell the story of a couple from their beginning. Maybe its grandparents or great grandparents..maybe even mom and dad.  This printed paper is so beautiful..it has soft muted burgundies,greys,greens, browns and creams it would work perfectly with black and white,sepia or color photos.  It has lots of mats and if you've read my other blog posts you know that i think every picture  tells a story, and needs to be a written down, so i've included a hidden tag,simply pull the flowers behind the largest mat and out it will come.  Also included are my handmade flowers in matching shades. I think this will be a great set of pages to tell the story of that wonderful couple whose love has lasted a lifetime. 


~This page is up for grabs over on ebay~
