Hydrangeas Blog Hop!

A few days late, but here's my blog hop project! Luckily my husband is pretty computer savvy. I thought I lost all my hard work! I love  +Club Scrap's  paper kits, but sadly I am a CS paper hoarder... 8.5x11 sheets and 12x12 collections Pounds and pounds of paper! 12x12 collections It may not look like that much, but that is 5 years worth of monthly kits.

"app" happy wednesday!

+Barb Brookbank is hosting a new photography linky party for photos edited with apps. Click the "app" happy button to jump to the linky party for some fun photo art. I am in love with the Hipstamatic app for my iphone right now. I use it all the time. My pics look so artistic! 

I took my photo in my mom's garden on Easter Sunday. Since Easter was so late this year, the azaleas had already bloomed...sniff...This flower was in one of her new hanging baskets by the pool. I took the pic with the Magdalena lens, flash off, Blanko film. I set my camera to change equipment by shaking. It's always a surprise what lens and film are chosen! 

Then I used the Waterlogue app to turn it into a watercolor "painting". I used the Bold filter to finish my photo.

Be sure to check out the linky party by clicking on the "app" happy button above!

My finished card… I...

A Cape fit for a Princess!

Another birthday! Millie turned 5 on Sunday. I asked my sister-in-law for gift ideas. She likes dress up, teacher's chalk (skinny sticks!), play doh, books...nothing hit me. Then Kelley texted me this... She is Elsa from Frozen. BINGO! I found an easy cape pattern idea from +Kylie Harris at http://www.thehowtomom.com/2014/01/frozen-elsa-cape-and-anna-cloak-diy.html?m=1.

Keep Calm and Happy Birthday!

  My oldest niece will turn 12 on Monday, sniff…. I made her a card with a gift card holder attached. She wanted a Victoria’s Secret gift card, sigh. I haven’t used my Cricut in a while and just refurbished my cutting mats, so I was ready for action!  My go to cartridge for birthday girls is Forever Young. I found some of the cutest Forever Young Cricut cards on Pinterest! I liked the...
