Happy DAD'S Day to all those amazing dads out there!! So blessed for my daughter to have such an amazing daddy!! She loves him so much! 

My dad has saved my life! I'm so happy to have such an incredible person in my life!

Each day that passes I become more grateful to know this man! He has been my greatest role model. I strive each day to make him proud! Love you daddy!!!

Father's Day cards

I really enjoy making cards using my Silhouette Cameo. I just buy the template and I can pretty much just decorate it. My favorite part!!! I made a card for my husband and his father. Enclosed is an instax photo of my daughter and a little drawing of her hand and her own doodles. I used a paper clip to keep it all in there. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Playing Catch Up

It has taken me a bit to get these pages uploaded, but I am knocking it out tonight! I have been super excited to share these layouts because I have tried new things here.

 I am so in love with the alpha wood veneers by Studio Calico! It has been hard for me to use them because I am scared to run out! What's new there though? I used my Sihllouette to cut out the cardstock phrase. I planned on using it in PL, but it worked on this page. I also stamped the hearts and traced around a few while also free handing the small ones. I love the dark back ground with the white. 

I haven't really documented any of our trips to Arizona lately. Not sure why I am stashing it away either. With this layout I took a different approach to the way I scrapbooked one night. I opened my drawer of random photos and the first one I grabbed was the one I was going to use. From there I built my embellishments around the photo. This the was final outcome. It actually worked well. Sometimes if I play that game it can really turn me off to the craft. Then I just end up in my craft room watching YouTube videos or surfing blogs. Which that works too. Still time well spent in my book! 

I cannot WAIT!!

I did it. I ordered the Canon Selphy. It is wireless and I found an awesome tutorial on YouTube from Omgits. You can watch it here. I am in my second year of doing Project Life and I love to add mini photos to my smash books and mini albums. So this is the PERFECT printer to have. It will work wirelessly with my iPhone and I can have it in my scraproom! Currently my iMac, printer and Silhouette are downstairs which is SOOOoooo not convenient for my crafting, but this will help!!! I can print my Instagram prints and 4x3 prints here also!! But I still go through Persnickety Prints because they are amazing. This is just the most convenient way to go!

I will review it in another post as soon as I can get it out of the box and up and running!!

Water+COLOR=amazing

I am in love with painting. It has always been hard for me to enjoy it simply because It has always been hard for me to "get it right" Now that I just paint color onto paper I am really liking LOVING it!! I have played around with gelato's and regular water color paints. I cannot get enough!!

Awesome!!!!

This is tooooo cool!! It was quite a surprise hopping over to Amy's blog and seeing this! My page is right smack in the middle. It is it a generous way to promote and recognize other people through her social media. I love that she is involved with her admires/fans like that!! Feeling pretty awesome right now!!!
