Happy Easter...

I thought I would share with you pictures of one of my Easter layouts that I've done. All of my paper piecings start with blank pieces of card stock. Then I cut, glue and artistically detail for a realistic look.


Here's a closer look at the first page of my layout...


and here's a closer look at the second page.

The 1st of a Disney Princess series...

Princess Arial
1st of my Disney Princess series.

I always love the challenge of making a paper piecing look as realistic as possible. I think it's the perfectionist in me. I've been thinking about making a Disney Princess series of layouts for a while now. A couple weeks ago I decided to take the plunge. All of my paper piecings start with blank pieces of card stock. Then I cut, glue and artistically detail for a realistic look.


Take a look at the overall layout.


Here is the 1st page.





The 2nd Page

The 2nd and 3rd of my Disney Princess series.

Princess Snow White
2nd of my Disney Princess series.

How exciting! This is the 2nd of my Princess series. I love how it turned out. I'd also like to let you know that all of my paper piecings start with blank pieces of card stock. Then I cut, glue and artistically detail each piece for a realistic look.

The 4th of my Disney Princess series.

I would like you to know that all of my paper piecings on this page start with blank pieces of card stock. Then I cut, glue and artistically detail each piece for a realistic look.



Princess Cinderella
4th of my Disney Princess series.

I love how this page turned out. The only problem I had with it was taking the pictures. The first set I took, edited and got my auction posted I noticed I forgot to put the blue bow on the fairy godmother. I then added the bow retook the pictures, edited and reposted the auction. As I was sitting there looking at it I was horrified to see that I forgot to put on Cinderella's earring. LoL!! I had to retake and edit my pictures for the third time. I guess it’s true, ‘Three times a charm.’ LoL!

The 5th of my Disney Princess series.

Princess Jasmine
5th of my Disney Princess series.

I would like you to know that all of my paper piecings on this page start with blank pieces of card stock. Then I cut, glue and artistically detail each piece for a realistic look.




The pink flower up in the left-hand corner is one of the first I've made using Paper Blossoms punches from McGill. It was a lot of fun to make but I still need to tweak them some. Next time I'll use card stock without texture.


Here is a look of my overall page.

My work space…

Have you ever told yourself you have way too much scrapbooking supplies? I tell myself that all the time. I think I'm addicted to buying anything that has to do with scrapbooking. My number one problem is that four letter word SALE! Even if I don't need it now I may need it someday and then it would be better if I got two of it. I think I might be a scrapbook addict. I thought I might show you around my scrapbook studio.

The first picture is walking into the room. On the couch is one of my Miniature Schnauzers Tasha. She loves to come and sit with me while I work. On the floor is her duck that she was playing with earlier.




At the end of the room there's a short walkway I made by setting up bookshelves at the end my desk.



After you turn the corner you're going into the workspace area. Everything is set up so I can roll around in my chair and get anything that I need while I'm working on my scrapbooking. You might think it's because I'm lazy but really it's because I can get where I want to go a lot quicker. LoL...







That’s a look at my workspace.
