Good Morning friends and welcome to the American Crafts Blog Hop!  As you know their new products are in stock in most stores and I for one am in love with the new lines.  Our challenge was to use all the new five lines together!  If you know me at all you will know what a challenge that truly was!  So I was toying with the seasons and no joke this song came on the radio.  GENIUS!  So I created four blocks spotlighting each collection with some Amy Tangerine thrown in.  I absolutely love how it turned out and I hope you do to!

For Olive Nicole + Pebbles Inc.

Well folks I take off for vacation first thing in the morning! So I am going to leave you for awhile with this project.  My sister asked if I would make a baby mini for a gift.  I chose to go ahead and use Happy Go Lucky by Pebbles along with a Maya Road album, which is discountinued however THIS ONE would be great. Even though it is not traditional baby girl colors I love the combination and I think it came out super cute.  I hope she likes it!

I made library pockets for a couple pages so the mom can tuck things into it and write some journaling on the tag.

Because I thought it might be handled a lot I used American Crafts ZING! embossing powder on the ruffled edges instead of glitter.  I also used 4x4 size photos since they seem to be so popular lately.  SO folks I will try and see if I can blog where I am going.  I may or may not have internet so we shall see.  If not have a good week!

Living Room Wall Before & After

I've been meaning to get around to this post for quite awhile now.  So let's just get to it.  I live in a row house so I have long walls in my rooms, so they can be quite the challenge.  So with all the inspirational photos on Pinterest I decided to tackle my living room wall again.  So here is the bad cell phone photo of the before.

So I am in love with how it turned out.  The shelves are 4ft long so that will give you some perspective on the size of the whole thing.  Here are some close ups.
