Hey there, blog friends!  Today I have some projects using the new My Mind's Eye Jubilee "Sherbet" collection.  (These projects posted to the MME blog yesterday!) There is a special little lady in my life who is turning 1 this month, and this paper collection actually matched the cute outfit that I got for her perfectly!!

So for my projects today, I covered & decorated a gift box, then created a matching tag & card that is personalized for her!  I know a one year old isn't really going to care about what it looks like, but her mom will love it!! :)

Supplies: Jubilee “Sherbet” collection: 12x12 paper (Happy, Pretty, Enjoy), 6x6 paper pad, chipboard elements, rub-ons, decorative brads, enamel dots, mixed bag, & journal cards.  Now & Then “Milo” and “Dorothy” collections: alpha/word stickers. Necessities“Teals” and “Black & Greys” collections: washi tape. Other: Lil' Inker Designs bow dies & envelope liner die.

I chose a gift box that was square in shape, and it was just a little larger than 12x12.  I lined the edges with teal washi tape before adhering a dotted 12x12 paper to the top of it.  I then added a chevron paper block to the bottom, and layered a strip of glitter washi tape over the seam.  After that I diecut a Lil' Inker Design large bow from patterned paper, assembled it & added it to the top of the gift box.

I then made a matching tag using a journal card, chipboard shapes & alpha/word stickers.  I punched a hole in the top & strung twine through it, then topped it with a decorative brad.  After finishing the tag, I added it to the top of the gift box.

Then I made a matching card to finish the gift set. I layered some paper blocks from the Jubilee "Sherbert" 6x6 paper pad to the front, then accented with a diecut journal card & some embellishments.  I also added a strip of glitter washi tape, and a washi tape bow.  The envelope (shown in the first image) was also created to match the packaging by using the Lil' Inker Designs envelope liner die!

 In order to make the washi tape bow, I covered a strip of white cardstock with the silver dotted washi tape.  This way it would be rigid enough to run through my diecut machine.  After diecutting the pieces using my Lil' Inker Designs small bow die, I assembled it & gave the bow some shape before adhering it to the card front.

I think it is so fun to use my scrapbooking product to create fun gift wrap, & this one is extra special.  You only have your first birthday once, so why not go all out?  Thanks for checking out my projects today...I hope you've enjoyed them!!

Well friends...I hope that you have a super wonderful weekend!!

Until later,

Hey there, blog friends!!  How are you doing today?  We went from 85 degrees on Monday to 52 degrees today....so THAT has been a shock to my system.  Lol!  I am SO not ready for cold weather, so I hope it warms up again a bit after this cold front moves through.  Yikes!  I mentioned on my last post that I have some news about my crafty life, but I am not quite ready to share it yet.  Hopefully I will have a moment to think about how I want to write up the post & get it done for this weekend.

But today I have some cards using the new My Mind's Eye Jubilee Wild Berry products, and they are AWESOME!  I will admit...I am completely smitten with the bold colors, brush script & tribal patterns included in this collection.  Everything about it makes me smile, and I couldn't wait to pull all of the different elements out and start layering & piecing them together. And because everything about this collection is so bold, I kept my card designs simple in order to not overwhelm your senses! Check them out!


Supplies: Jubilee-Wild Berry: 6x6 paper pad, chipboard elements, rub-ons, flair pins, mixed bag, decorative brads, enamel dots, & journal cards.

Hi there, blog friends!  How has life been?  I know that I have been fairly absent from my blog this summer.  Even in the posts that have gone up, I feel as though I have been distant.  In all honesty, I have felt a bit off creatively since coming home from Montana in July.  I've been pretty quiet on all of my social media fronts (blogging, Facebook & Instagram)...plus I've just been super busy and we've been gone a lot.  I have stepped down from a couple of creative teams (I'll talk more about that this weekend when I have a longer sharing post) in hopes to rejuvenate a bit, and feel it will really help me to create for something other than design team deadlines. 

The start of Fall always helps bring back the creativity that I feel I lose most summers.  And while I am not ready for colder weather (ugh), I am ready for a little more time to sit down at my crafty area with a hot latte or chai. 

With that being said, one team that I am staying on until they kick me off (lol) is My Mind's Eye!!  My projects have been running on the MME blog all summer long, but I haven't had as much time to get them posted here.  So, I wanted to catch up on some of my projects from the past couple months!

Up first is this card set using some of the new Just Sayin' collection by Rhonna Farrer.  Rhonna never disappoints....like ever.  I have loved her product from the early days at Two Peas & Autumn Leaves (do you remember THAT company?!  Lol!) to her more recent collections for MME & her digital community.
 Oh how I love all the gold accents, and beautiful pinks & minty greens included in this collection.  It fits me to a tee, and I foresee myself using every single bit of it.  Sigh...amazing work Rhonna!!  (I think she might be my crafty crush....lol!)

This next card set I revisted some products that were released earlier this year.  I used the Now & Then "Izzy"collection by Jen Allyson.  I LOVE how these cards turned out!  I don't often make very masculine cards, and I think they would work perfectly to give to the special men/boys in your life.


I have one last set of cards to share with you using the Market Street "Ashbury Heights" collection.  Seriously....what isn't there to LOVE about the Market Street collections.  BOTH of them are amazing, and I used lots of products on these two cards & just layered, layered, layered. 

Well, there you have it!!  A quick catch up on the projects I have made recently for the MME blog!!  I have another card set posting to on Wednesday, and I will make sure that they post here as well. 

I hope that you have a wonderful evening, and I will be back soon to share a little bit more about where I am at creatively, and hopefully have more projects!!

Until later,
~L.
