Upcycled Antique Drawers

This is a little project that I did a while ago and didn't post, but a recent video done by Lori Allred "Inspired by Pinterest" that she did on re-purposing silver trays, frames and drawers Inspired me to dig through my pictures and FINALLY post these babies. These were pretty simple, I just removed the hardware pulls, painted, let dry and cut my gift wrap to fit. Yes you heard me right...GIFT WRAP! I use these in the scraproom to hold projects in progress, and they not only look great but work perfectly for the job.

Make sure you stop by and check out Lori's video that you can watch here. I believe she posts a new one each week and I LOVE them! She is so creative and always sparks in me another awesome project for my ever growing list. She also has a little contest over on her blog which includes giveaways!!! You can check that out over here. Have fun and be ready to be inspired!

Thanks for stopping by!

Inspired by...

    Ok, I have an admission to make...I am totally hooked on pinterest. Like almost everyone else I know, I just can't get enough of it...you can find anything on there! I think I've used to to design something for every room in our new house and it's not even finished being built yet. I'm. A. PINTEREST. JUNKIE.
Beside finding new ways to hang pictures, more efficient ways to clean the house and finding stuff I want to buy that costs more money that we have in the bank, I have found the mother load of fuel for my creativity. Sometimes it's just a color combo,a card, sketch or a finished layout that catches my eye and makes me want to get to work.
    This is a layout that was inspired be one that I found on pinterest. It is from the Pebbles Inc blog and you can see it here. I am not sure who made the layout and would love to know so I can give her the credit. SO if you happen to know who please let me know in a comment.

Lately I've been all about color, or wait haha I think I have always been about color but the sunny spring skies that we have been having this week are really inspiring me to boost it up.

This layout if of my son Brady who turned 16 weeks old yesterday. I say it in weeks because almost 4 months sounds way to grown up. I love my little guy and how much sunshine he brings into my world, I am so blessed.

Doodlebug Alphabets Week

Doodlebug has some AmaZAzing alphabets so why not do an entire week featuring them??? SO we are :) Make sure to check out the blog to see what the other ladies have come up with...let me just say WOW!

This is a layout of my sweet niece Kimberly. Her and my son Brady were born two days apart so they are so close in age. It is fun to see their pictures and the things that they are learning together at the same time. She's a cute let me just tell ya, I love her sweet faces she makes so I wanted to document them. Here is what I came up with.

I LOVE all the different colors and fonts that doodlebug offers so I also wanted to show that off as well.

 These are just a couple of close ups of the layout, I love this patterned paper from the Nifty Notions collection, it just makes me so happy.

If you want a complete list of supplies they are provided on the doodlebug blog so that is where you can find those. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have an awesome day!

Doodlebug Mother's Day Card

Sunday is mother's day, so to my mom and my wonderful mother in law...HAPPY MOTHER'S Day!

I don't know what I would do without either of you, each of you bring sunshine into my days and lots of love in my heart. I am so blessed to have you both.

This will also be my very first Mother's Day, I am kinda new at this so don't know what to expect, I feel like being a mom is the greatest gift I could ever ask for.

To celebrate our moms over at Doodlebug we each made a mother's day care according to a sketch we were provided. Make sure you check out the Doodlebug blog to see the awesome sketch and how versatile is is.

Here is my take on the sketch:

I hope that everyone has a wonderful mother's day and thank you so much for stopping by :)

Doodlebug Tuesday Tutorial

Good Morning!

It's Tuesday, and that means it's time for Tuesday Tutorial over on the Doodlebug blog!

It's my turn this week so I made this frame for Brady's room.

I love how the colors from the Snips and Snails collection matched his nursery perfectly, so I wanted to make something special for him.

Make sure you pop on over to the doodlebug blog and check out how to make it!

It was super fast and easy :) Lately those are my fave kinds of projects because they are the only ones I can see to finish ha!

Alright, everyone have a blessed day,

Some Doodlebug and My Little Man and I

Hi all!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful day! Thought I'd pop on here and leave a layout that I've done recently and a pic I took of Brady and I hanging out. I never like the way I look in pictures but he makes this one mean so much to me.

 And here is my Doodlebug layout. It is mostly made with the new Snips and Snails Collection, I think it's an easy line to use up right now :) I wanted to be able to document in some way the main things that Brady used as a newborn in the hospital. His little pile of Baby is something I never want to forget. Hope you like it:

I totally LOVE being on the Doodlebug DT, they are so generous with what they send us to work with...it's like Christmas all over again every time I get a box! I would totally recommend trying out next time they have their open call, it's so much fun!!!

Alright, that's enough of my babbling on for one day, I've got a hungry baby to feed.
