NEW Hair Candy

My friend ordered some hair candy awhile back and so I made a variety of options. And from those options I have some left! These pieces of "HAIR CANDY" will be added to my Etsy shop in the next day or so! Hair candy - headbands are Grecian style, 2 strand headbands that tie at the nap of your neck! They are great for everyday wear, more formal wear, and even in dance class (holds your hair back and doesn't get in your face - if you have shorter hair). Hair Candy accessories will be coming soon!
Hair Candy - Cotton Candy Pink

Hair Candy - Gummy Bears

Hair Candy - Laffy Taffy

I also take custom orders. However, with multi-colored yarn I cannot guarantee 2 of the same color runs.

April Express Kit projects

I wanted to share some of my projects I created with the MemoryWorks April Express kit!  To see the rest, head over to the MemoryWorks blog (and see other inspiration from some of my fellow team members!)

I love how I got both a masculine and feminine layout out of this kit!

My first layout is of my Nephew & brother. I adore these photos of them and the greens worked well because of my nephews tie!

 This second layout is of my friend Mikael & I.  I love all the frilly elements with this kit.  My layout title is a folded piece of cardstock with hidden journaling underneath!

ADorable Nephew

Gosh, have I told you how much I ADORE this kid?!?  My nephew is such a cutie, he makes me laugh and I love when he says "Auntie Lacey" - my heart SMILES (as do I). 

I created this mini layout for an acrylic frame.  It sits on my scrapbook desk right now.  I used the Crate Paper: Portraits line (LOVE IT!)

This little guy is going to be a big brother soon too!  I think he'll be an amazing big brother.  Love ya peanut!

Daddy & Me

I created this layout of my dad & me using the Crate Paper: Emma's Shoppe line.  it's fun, delicate and perfect for my daddy's little buttercup (me!).  The envelop holds journaling cards with different memories I have of my dad & me as a kid and today!

 

Happy Saturday and scrapping!

I love 6x6 paper pads

One of my FAVORITE things right now are 6x6 paper pads.  It is an addiction.  You get so many great papers in a line for an amazing price.  Most these 6x6 paper pads cost under $6.00!!  Totally worth it. 

The paper pads don't limit you to just cards or small items.  Use them on 12 x 12 layouts as accent papers, frame out smaller photos or create homemade embellishments!!  Cut a pieces of 6x6 paper to 4x6 to make a darling 3" x 4" card!  I love these mini cards.  Quick to make and look so darling!

So far with the NEWEST MemoryWorks Catalog released last week, I purchased 6 paper pads already!  Some of the paper lines were available before the catalog was released!  There were some MUST haves. 

 Paper lines you see above

NEW Cozies

Since moving and renovating the house, I haven't had a lot of time to sit down and craft.  Well I'm finally getting back into the swing of things!  I created 2 new cozies, which have been added to my Etsy shop!  They give a lot of sunshine to this Fargo "spring" (not so much - there are still snow storms). 

Enjoy and snag them while they are still available!!
