I prefer to use mostly solid backgrounds and use pattern as embellishment on my pages, but this week, I tried something different when playing with the Carnival Queen collection by Ruby Rock It. (Fiskars and Ruby Rock It swapped products for a monthly feature so I got a handful of product to play around with! FUN!) I started by building my layout onto a piece of patterned paper that arrived with ...

Using Your Tools In Unconventional Ways
I recently created a project in which I used some of my trusty Shapes Templates to create a mosaic garden stepping stone. Say what!? Yep, tis true. I used papercrafting tools for a project that in no way involved paper and it was awesome! I love having a variety of tools at my fingertips for whatever my mind dreams.
It was such a fun project to work on and a joy to be able wrap i...

Ruby Rock It wall decor
Just wanted to show you this framed wall art that I created for Tegenn's bedroom walls using the Carnival Line by Ruby Rock It. It is SERIOUSLY cute!!
When you're 6 years old, life should be 'one big 'party', am I right? Tegenn certainly makes the most of every day and she sees the fun in the most ordinary of moments - she's a hoot and happily, she likes her new wall decor too.
I used...

So today, I'm thinking FLAMINGOS!
Personally, I think they are soooo retro cool! Have you seen the huge plastic ones you can stick in the ground in you...

String Art: It is Trendy Again!
Have you noticed that this popular artform has become the trend again?
String art is a very fun way to add some personality to your home decor. For this piece I grabbed a handful of my favorite border punches and went to town punching strips of cardstock in varying shades or coral and pink. I then layered them in an overlapping fashion until the whole board was covered and then worked on nailing ...
