Resin :: Little Black Dress Reveal

Back with another Little Black Dress page!
This page is sort of a two page spread, it will be to the left of a Project Life spread that I will share with you tomorrow. But for now lets check out the 12x12 page!

I had to scrap this photo of my first resin piece I made! I love the way the pinks and blue go so perfectly! I busted out some old Glimmer Mist and Distress Ink and got busy!

IMG_4573-001
Seriously love those fabric frames and love layering with them!

IMG_4574-001
And the clips! Crazy about those!

IMG_4575-001
I cut the title from one of the papers that came in the kit, stitched them on and love how they turned out!
I will be back with the Project Life part of this page!

Cruisin' :: Little Black Dress Reveal

Back with my second layout for LBD!
Here is the making process!


And a closer look!

IMG_4584-001
So I've been wanting to stick these photos to some paper for the longest time now. I'm so glad to have finally scrapped them and I love the way it turned out! As you saw in the beginning of the video I showed a small stamp set and the paper I cut into strips, I stamped each letter... one by one... with some lyrics from the song "Call Me Maybe" by Carly Rae Jepsen. When I lived in Las Vegas my friend Kristen and I loved to just cruise up and down the strip and act like children. I wanted to capture those moments in this layout by adding those lyrics, we would laugh at the song in the beginning and then started to sing it any time it came on. Just a little info behind this page and the reason for the lyrics :)

I just love that chevron paper and cloud paper that came in the kit! I only have a tiny piece of the cloud one left and it is not going to waste!

Don't forget to check out what the other LBD members have made with their kit and I will be back shortly with more!

Loved :: Little Black Dress Reveal

Welcome back!
Today I am sharing the first page I made with the Miss Maggie LBD kit.
Let's check out the making process :)



And a closer look!
IMG_4597-001
I totally love those Crate Paper frames that came in the kit, once I looked through them I knew right away which photo I wanted to use. Check out that stare!

IMG_4607-001
I decided to put some old stamps to use on this page, although those circles were in seasonal sets they still worked perfectly for the page! I always look though each stamp set even if they are Halloween or Christmas, you never know what you'll bump into!

IMG_4605-001
So when I first saw these clips online I didn't think it would ever be something I'm interested in. They look like bobby pins and I would have never thought to add them on a page. I am so so so glad they came in this kit though! They are to adorable and add a cute detail! This is, once again, a reason why I love kits. They make you think outside of the box and it challenges you to use product you wouldn't purchase on your own!

IMG_4599-001
Another old stamp I've had for years yet have never used... ever. It was so perfect for this page!

IMG_4601-001
I just love the details on these frames!! Already embellished and stitched for you! I added a cute wood button that came in the kit and called it a day!
Come back to see more pages from the LBD Miss Maggie kit! 
Thank you for stopping by and have a great day!

Jerome, Arizona

I recently took a trip to Jerome with my mom, step-dad and friend Kristen and have some photos to share :) 
Jerome is one of my favorite places to visit here in Arizona. The little town is so old and has a ton of history behind it! If you're ever in the neighborhood I suggest checking it out!

So plain but so pretty!

Our first stop... The Haunted Hamburger
IMG_4534J (21)-001
Their oh so famous and oh so yummy little restaurant

Would you stay at a place called The Surgeons House? ;)

I totally want to stay at this hotel! It used to be a hospital and it was one of the last buildings built in Jerome (1926). It's been on TV for its supposed hauntings. Some rooms are closed to the public and people claim to hear noises from those rooms. They have a guest book in their lobby and flipping through it you see a lot of people writing about cats... there are no cats in the building. Hmmmm...

Learn something new every day I guess!

This building that has no hope anymore used to be a jail cell I'm guessing. I've been inside this before but it's fenced now since it's about to collaspe. Written on the wall says "it was more fun in hell", not sure if that goes with the history or if it's newer, but I do know it's been there for years. I can imagine Hell being more fun, that bed doesn't look very comfy :p 
IMG_4534J (182)-001
That about sums it up with my million photos :)
Much more to see in this little place, including Ghost Town! Hope to visit you soon again Jerome!

Thanks for stopping by!! Have an awesome day!

LBD Layout Reveal :: Hello Country + Video!

Back again with the last Little Black Dress reveal! 
This layout is simple but love it! Here is the process video for this page :)



And a closer look

IMG_2854-001
(Items not included in the kit: white cardstock, thickers, doily, printed arrows, jean thread, date stamp) 
I've been wanting to scrap this photo for a while now. My dear mother laid on the ground for this one lol. The dark woodgrain and navy polka dots were perfect for this page, it just "felt right" ;)

IMG_2857-001
I was surprised how many letters come on the letter sticker sheet. I used a ton of these throughout my projects and still have a ton left! Great addition to the kit! This was my "journaling" for the page. I was living in Las Vegas for three years and it's a normal thing to wear heels I suppose. Moving back to a little town... not so much. I thought it would make a cute photo considering it's a little hard to walk around in heels with rocks everywhere :) 

IMG_2860-001
I printed these little arrow/chevron... whatever you want to call them, from my computer. I made them in my Silhouette software a while ago and was excited to put them to use! I punched the little hearts from the same paper that's behind the photo and added a lovely wood piece!
IMG_2861-001
Love the jean thread!! So perfect for this page!! And... of course... more Thickers! I am obsessed with stitching and Thickers. I can't help it!
Thanks for stopping by!! Don't forget to check out the LBD blog for more projects with the April kit!
I am excited to see what May will bring! Stay tuned for the sneak peeks :)
Have a great day!
