Ruby Rock-It Love Letters

Some of you may know that my family moved into our new home just a couple days ago. Well I'm excited to share a fun home decor item that I created using Ruby Rock-It Bella! Fundamentals goodies- it's our very first decorative item in the new house and I love how it looks in there :)

As soon as I saw the gorgeous pink, white, and silver Bella! Wedding papers and coordinating embellishments, I just knew I had to have them out on display in the form of a home decor item. With Valentine's Day coming up, it occurred to me that I should grab some heavy-duty chipboard L, O, V, E letters from the craft store and pretty them up with the Bella! goodies. 

A little tip: the silver and white organza flowers that I tucked into the embellishment clusters are actually brads. I wanted to use them as stickers instead, so I carefully removed the metal fastener portion and replaced those with glue dots.

I'm so thrilled with how these look in our family room.  Here are the RRBF products that I used:

More Little Yellow Bicycle Winterings

Hi everyone! I have another Winterings collection layout to share today thanks to a wonderful guest designing opportunity given to me by Little Yellow Bicycle.

If you'd like to take a peek at the Winterings layout that I posted previously, you can find it along with details of an awesome sketch challenge opportunity, here.

To say I'm totally excited to be featured on the Little Yellow Bicycle blog today with their gorgeous Winterings collection is most definitely an understatement!

The photos on this layout are not the best quality, I know, but I've been working on reminding myself that it's the recording of special moments that matters most...

What I love about these photos, and the reason why I really wanted to scrap them, is my sweet little girl standing against the glass front door, bedhead and all, with her face pressed against the glass and taking in the sights and sounds of winter with a perfect blanket of fresh snow.

Imagine how thrilled I was to find these exact sentiments included in the Fresh Verse cardstock stickers. What do you think of the awesome clear cut piece and vellum tape strip included here?

I tucked several pieces of the paper crafting kit here and there, adhering some with foam tape for added dimension. The above cluster also includes one of the beautiful layered burlap stickers.

That lovely wintry pinecone in the above cluster is part of the Winterings chipboard shapes set- a perfect little piece to represent the hundreds of pinecones that our huge spruce tree continually dropped.

If you haven't had a chance to play with Winterings yet, consider checking it out- the photos do not do it justice and it's even more gorgeous in person.

Thank you Liz and Little Yellow Bicycle for the super fun opportunity!

House update: A LOT of progress has been made in the past week! We have a driveway and walkway. Our first floor ceramic tiling is done. All of the countertops are in. Today they were working on installing the carpet on the second floor.  Just about all that's left are the kitchen appliances, the bathroom fixtures, and some repair work here and there. Fingers are crossed for an on-time closing on Friday!

My Creative Sketches January Sketch Challenge

It's time for the January sketch challenge at My Creative Sketches! Here's my take on the sketch (please excuse the poor quality photos taken inside our hotel room).

I used Little Yellow Bicycle's beautiful Winterings collection. It's such a pretty winter range- I also used it for another layout that I'll be sharing sometime next week.

I've been wanting to scrap this photo for quite some time now- that Elmo peeking out just cracks me up! I hope she enjoys this layout someday lol!

Here's the January sketch:

and WOW!! Have a look at the prize!

I know, right?! Pam puts together the most generous prize packages. Seriously. I can't think of any other place that I've seen anything even remotely close to the quality of this prize for a sketch challenge.

Did you know that the winner is chosen by random draw? Find the details here.

Ruby Rock-It Birthday Cards

I'm up on the Ruby Rock-It blog today with a pair of birthday cards featuring the gorgeous Cook line. I used some of my favorite Ruby Rock-It embellishments on these- the Cook florals.

 

I have a supply list up on the Ruby Rock-It blog if you'd like to check it out.

I also wanted to show you this set of snowflakes that I made with some kraft cardstock and Ruby Rock-It's lovely China Blue line.  The DT girls each made a set of 4 to adorn the booth at Winter CHA. We all made similar snowflakes but incorporated our own unique touches. I wasn't at CHA to see the booth but I imagine it looked lovely!
