I was up on the Bella Blvd last week with Pinterest Inspired projects. I kinda took a detour with this one LOL. I am not sure why but I just took direction from the pile of sequins. I hand cut all the cameras from the Snapshots line and threw them in a pile and started sticking them down.
Bonus project..I forgot to post from last month! Trends with Triangles. Which I am honestly not a huge fan of. So I used BIG ones.
Becky Fleck and Pagemaps asked the Bella Team to join them for this months edition of sketches. I always love working with Becky's sketches and this tie was no exception.
And here is my take on the sketch.
I used the Family Forever line along with the new Kerri Bradford script words. I am really digging this cuts! You can download the new sketches HERE and sign up for the monthly email HERE.
My friend Heather and her son Conor came for a visit last month. Our last photo adventures are HERE when we visited the Mitten State. It's amazing what a few months of growth in toddlers means. They played and played and played. It was AMAZING, especially for us mommas who were happy to have them entertain each other.
We had a couple of adventures. We went to the Baltimore Zoo and it was FREEZING, but the who cares. We spent Saturday in the Capitol, it was 60 degrees! It was the best day in a long time around here with all the snow. The kids had a fabulous time. Well Conor I don't think knew what to do with a very pushy Parker.

It felt like old home week designing AC projects again. Thanks to Paige and the AC crew for having me. I hope you enjoyed the projects!
Happy Friday, stopping in to share another Plus One project for American Crafts. I worked up a Project Life spread, and if you know me I don't do them very often. I love the color combination of Plus One. Hot Pink, Teal......Fabulous. I also used lots of the script Thickers they are by far my favorite piece of the collection.

Last week I shared I was the Guest Designer for the American Crafts Plus One week. Here is the mini album I created for that post. I used an older Amy Tan cut file to create the camera album. I lined the backside with cardstock to make it thicker.
I printed out my Instagram photos from our trip to Spokane on my Selphy. I chose with border and they roughly printed around 3x3 instead of 4x4.
If you are loving the scipty words you'll want to check out these fab cut files from Kerri Bradford. I just found them because of Laura Vegas! 6.00 in her shop HERE.
It's Friday Sketch day on the Bella Blvd blog. I participated this round with a layout using the Max collection. I need more boy pages in my life. I totally love it. This is my friend Rachel's son Ethan. You can check out her photography blog HERE.
It's Plus One week on the American Crafts blog and I was asked to Guest Design with Amy Tan's newest collection. No, Don't twist my arm! I created 5 projects you can see them all on the AC Blog. I'll share the rest later in the week. Make sure you go enter to win the whole collection too!
Ever feel like you thought you posted something on your blog and you go look and its gone? Yeah that's this one! Either that or I am really losing my mind. Last week I had a No Sew Curtain tutorial go up on the Thermoweb bog using No Sew Fabric Fuse. If you haven't tried this stuff yet it's like the Hem Tape but without any iron! It's awesome stuff! Check out the tutorial HERE.
Also they are having a sale for National Craft Month!
Hi everyone! Sorry it has been so silent here the past week or so. We've been dealing with some food allergies with Parker the for several months and things are kind of coming to a head. It's been extremely stressful. Thankfully we go for testing next week, so I hope to have some answers for my poor girl.
In the mean time I participated in a challenge for Chic Tags in which you can win some goodies! The challenge is GREEN. I chose her green pants along with using some packaging for my project. Stop by the Chic Tags blog for details!
We have gotten a great bit of snow this winter. This is Maryland...we don't usually get a whole lot of snow especially not at once. Last week we had about 16" where I live, so we had a snow day! Parker is in love with sledding. It is so much fun!
wipe out!
She also is super in love with Hello Kitty. Her Aunt Pat sent her this hat. She is in loveeeeeeeeeeeeee.
As much as we are loving the snow we are SO ready for Spring. Beyond ready. Bring it!
My new box of Bella goodies arrived last week and in it was the 2014 catalog. I have a couple layouts in the catalog. This was using Playdate made its way in!
Hey everyone! Today we have a sketch challenge over on the Chic Tags blog. I played along this month. Stop by, sketch it up and enter to win!
I've had my February Swag Bag from Paper Issues for weeks now and I finally got to play with it! I also had a box of Elle's Studios new lines show up! This layout is out of the box color wise (or lack there of) for me! I love how it turned out.
If you haven't signed up for Swag Bag you will have another chance in March! And in case you missed last months picture here is what came in February.
I had a quick mini up on the Thermoweb blog last Friday. It couldn't have been easier and super simple! Stop by their blog for a chance to win a huge prize pack of goodies.
Hi everyone! I was up on the Bella Blvd blog this week with a mini I made using Family Forever and an acrylic album by Maya Road.
If you print your Instagram photos in 3x3 size this album is the perfect fit. I trimmed down some of the new Candid Cards to 3x3 size to match up with the photos. So cute!
Well ya'll I took a vacation last week that's why its been so quiet around here. Parker and I took a trip to Spokane to visit my folks. We had a great time and if you follow me on Instagram you saw some of those moments. One of the stops we made was the Mobius Kids Museum in downtown Spokane. It's actually in the Mall downtown. We have something similar here in Baltimore, but not as cute! There is also a Science center which by the looks of the photos on Facebook it's super fun as well. It's a whopping $6 for adults and kids under 4!! are free.
First love of the day was the water table. This kid is like a MOTH TO A FLAME ya'll. She played by far the most here. There is also a table with dirt and water and trucks and I was not having it. She was wearing white ;)
She also kept wanting to drink the water. You can only imagine how I felt about that.
Grocery shopping. And flower picking which Parker quickly realized they were not real!
They have a big house where you can cook and shop and flower pick etc. There is also a slide. Parker must have went down it a hundred times.
To get up to the slide there is a ladder that is straight up and down. I thought there was no way she was getting up it. She has a hard enough time climbing stairs. My step mom asked where she was and I said ohhh playing in the house. Nope. She is 20 months remember that!
Next there is a under 3 area. Which eh Parker is a little too big for, but there was RICE and the TRAINS where in there. I was a little nervous she was going to trample the small kids.
There is also a traffic and driving area, an electricity area, bee hive and a dress up and puppet show.
Where's Parker?
Several tables of Lincoln logs, block and crayons.
So if you are in the area and looking for something to do indoors I highly recommend it! Link is up top if you need more info.
