tonight…

December 3, 2011

tonight i get to dress up. i get to be FANCY as the girls would say.

high heels,smokey eyes,little black dress…not a barbie,sippie,or diaper in sight. replacing the ponytail with an updo , the aquaphor with lipstick, and the diaper bag with a clutch.

ranger ball here,out on the town here or here maybe?, spending the night here, brunch here.mmmmmm beignets.

wish me luck…that i can carry on an adult conversation, not trip in my heels,and not break any glasses with my over the top gesturing. that i can recreate this look without looking like i got punched in the face, that i can spend a night away and ENJOY it, let it recharge us…and that i don't call the sitter every .2 seconds. these are things i really have issues with. HAHAH!

happy saturday!

scrap shares.

December 1, 2011

happy thursday y'all! i sure hope you are having a beautiful week…and happy DECEMBER!

i have a couple of layouts to share with you today.

the first one is an extra i made for my brooklyn flea gallery.

and i think this may have turned out being my favorite for the month!!

i think all the supplies are in the grid below, but a sidenote is that the font is "1942 report".

this next layout is a page i made for nichol magouirk's scrapbook stamping class at 2peas.

i was excited but nervous when nichol asked me to join her this month…i love the look of stamping but don't do it often. so the idea of *stamping my own background* made me VERY antsy.

but i went for it. and truth be told, i love the results. someone remind me WHY i don't do this more often?!?!?

the background is stamped with SC's month stamps: JBS weathervane. the "photo mat" is stamped with a SC chevron stamp+prima chalk ink in teal damask (my new favorite). the hearts are also stamped with teal damask.

almost everything is linked below minus all of the stamps (Studio Calico), the sequins (harper and sadie's craft stash),the doily (martha stewart) and the label (twogirlzstuff).

hope you've enjoyed my creative shares today…

have a wonderful day!

first cupcakes.

November 30, 2011

it was a super low key event. 2 balloons,

2 cupcakes from fresh market,

2 high chairs

2 one year olds

2 TOTALLY different personalities.

cate= mild,suspicious and kind of disinterested

lucy= thrilled. lucy went to town.

they are so funny. so different…and i LOVE that.

pretty sure that cate thinks lucy is nuts. 🙂

and i’m so glad i took a video…lucy’s little excited noises are hilarious. 🙂

happy wednesday, y’all! xxo

and my projects:

c&l

brooklyn flea only

this is my version of the chevron trend that's all the rage right now. i just layered papers (and the bottom layer is an exclusive tissue "scraps from the main kit) and angled them one on top of the other.
