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!

 

Two Peas in a Bucket - Design School week 3

This is the final week of Design School over at Two Peas in a Bucket.  Stop by and check out this weeks principles.  I wanted to share a layout from Jamie Sorenson for last week.  She chose emphasis as her principle.  I just love these photos! they make me smile.  

and from this week Jen Jockisch chose proportion & scale.  I love the tiny photos along with the top and of course because they are of us girls it makes it more fun.  I need to scrap these too!

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.  

and here is after

Here is my husband bitching while hanging my shelves

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.
