time with you...

Happy Valentine's weekend! As I was thinking about my next project, I realized that it would be posting this weekend and knew the layout would be full of hearts. I've been wanting to use both this Crate Paper Styleboard line and TFD Coffee Lover flair set for a while now but, seasonal projects kept taking precedence. I love that this Crate Paper line has a mix of bold patterns and softer feminine touches. As I scrolled though my photos, I came across this one of my mom and I from late last year and was immediately inspired.

My mom? Love.
Red cups? Love.
Coffee? Love.

Several years ago, my mom and I used to spend long days shopping, taking trips to New York City and doing all kinds of leisurely, girly things. As roles have shifted and time has been crunched, our outings have become shortened and not nearly as exciting but...no less meaningful.

How fun is this Coffee Lover set? I'm already plotting to use the rest because, coffee! Not a coffee lover yourself (whaaaat???)? No problem! There is an equally perfect Tea Lover set.

for the love of snowflakes...

Good morning! We've had quite the run of both frigid cold temps and rounds of illness here lately so, have been cozied up at home trying to stay warm and get healthy. Luckily, a little creative time is a good way to accomplish both! Today I am sharing a layout for Toni From Designs featuring the Let It Snow set of flair. I love these photos of Amalia's first time playing in the snow and they paired so well with Fancy Pants Oh Deer collection, Elle's Studio Hello 2015 and the snowflake flair.

Seriously, how cute is this set??

And a couple of close ups:

my favorite: featuring toni from designs flair...

I am thrilled to share my first Creative Team project for Toni From Designs Flair!

If you are new to my blog, welcome! I am an at home mom to three wonderful children (all under five!) and wife to my talented, engineer husband. We reside in New York's Hudson Valley. A long time memory keeper, I started scrapbooking in 1996 straight out of college. Since that time I have been blessed with many opportunities in the industry including years of teaching scrapbooking and rubber stamping at local craft stores, designing patterned paper and lettering templates, demonstrating at CHA and designing for scrapbooking websites, kit clubs and manufacturers.

As soon as I saw the Sweater Weather flair set in Toni's shop, I knew exactly how I wanted to put it to use. Fall is my favorite, I've made no secret of that fact. I took this photo during a quiet moment on our front steps, coffee in hand, surrounded by colorful leaves. Bliss!

Here is a close up of the #COZY flair from the Sweater Weather set. Perfect match to my navy sweater in the photo and the orange pops in the leaves and the layout border. I love that Toni's flair is super thin and lightweight, adding dimension to project without a lot of bulk.
