hey everyone!!!

how are you?? it’s been crazy, busy…insane for us lately!!

can’t believe that april is over tomorrow…INSANE!!!!

this means that the sneak for the may kit will be out soon….

which means that may kit reveal is only a couple weeks away!!!

i snuck in a quick little LO with my april kit in amongst all the chaos today….did you all get your kits yet?? how much do you love that cuckoo clock stamp kerry designed???

i know i do….so i decided it needed some more love today….

i figured it was a fitting element to a page that is a tribute to my craziness, lol…here in alberta…in minus 30c winter weather…i wear flip flops…yup, i do!!! now i am not totally crazy…i promise…if there is a lot of snow on the ground i will put on shoes…but for quick trips outside…to start the car, take out the garbage or compost, even quick trips to the grocery store to pick up milk…i will wear them. it’s not like i go for walks in the country in them, lol!!! i mostly wear them indoors year round….a girl needs something to smile about in the long winter months :)

but these are the one thing i can’t give up since my move from vancouver island to alberta….umm….10 years ago!!!

but i am getting way off topic :)

before you all start drooling over the may kit…we would love to see what you can do with the cuckoo clock stamp!!!

so if you have done something already or go off and create something now…hook us up!!! let’s see how you have used this fabulous little stamp!!!

salut!

as usual, our guest designer teresa mcfayden and the creative team created some amazing layouts and projects this month and i thought i’d share a few of my personal favorites, with the added hope that you’ll share a few of yours in the comments section.

it really was an honor having teresa here with us this month. she has a vintage style that i’ve always adored and her style fits in with kenner road so easily. so all of that being said i love that she created this little sachet with the central valley collage print fabric. stuffed with lavendar it’s the perfect gift for a friend or you could stuff it with buckwheat and leave it on an end table as a paper weight to make sure no one steals all of your country living magazines.

i absolutely adore amy’s layout using the fancy pants kraft kut paper, especially how she turned the paper and made it hang, just like her sweet boy.

debee always amazes me with her paint work. the fact that she later explained the pink paint shown here on hey was an accident is divine but i LOVE how she stripped those pink paislee chipboard stickers and used them raw.

the way that dina used the sakura album from the hen house add-on as a mask on much love is exactly why i adore her art, she always finds a way to use something in a new way. of course her three adorable boys smiling can’t help either. ;)

When i opened jessi’s email i gasped at her while you grow minibook using the sakura album. The way she incorporated the fabric and the embellishemnts from the kits is perfect but it was the sweet sentiments she hid to her children that i thought was priceless. make sure you go see the rest of the pages of this beautiful minibook in her gallery if you haven’t already, it is amazing!

this sweet angel wall hanging is so katie. i always adore her projects and this one, using the kenner road collage fabric from the central valley kit is divine. it has such an amazing vintage homespum feel.

remember when by gigi is probably one of my favorites of hers, ever. it’s simple in design but the imapct that the journaling and the picture has is so wonderful. it’s truly what this artform is all about. getting the thoughts down. documenting your life. remembering the things you’ll really want to remember when you’re old and gray. the things you’ll probably forget, all of the little details.

lisa created this wonderful banner out of the 7gypsies journal sheets that came in the central valley kit but i love how she used one of each of the kenner road bingo fabric swatches as accents.

now tell me… what did you love this month?

Hello sweets~

Debee here checkin’ in with a little inspiration and eye candy. I passed by Anthropologie yesterday and seriously  it rocks my creativity everytime! I am getting married this Friday and also in the process of buying a home/ packing for the big move. (I wouldn’t recommend doing both at once-INSANE!) So I dropped by Anthro for some mojo flo. And while I was there I bought some beautiful things. (everything in anthro is beautiful. yes yes. ) So I thought I’d share some of my finds with you :) Get your mojo and rock it!

I picked up two new pillows that I adore!

Isn’t that embroidery detail beautiful?

I can so see that on a few scrapbook layouts. Or even an art journal.

I just LOVE the bright polka dot pattern!

So dainty and pretty

LOVE this color combo. I might have to try this on a layout ;)

So I just helped get the mojo flowin’ for ya- your turn to be happy and make something!

Enjoy <3
