One of my most favorite songs happens to be La Vie En Rose, sung by the beautiful Edith Piaff. Have you heard it? It's wonderful.




The lyrics are so mesmerizing, I thought they would be perfect to display as art in my house.

I designed it using the Kiss Me Papers from Rhonna Designs- isn't the quatrefoil pattern lovely with the blush & gold tones? 

You can download the Printable PDF here, add some glitter if you'd fancy, and frame for some instant art! 

THE FINE PRINT ;)

Photography Challenge: Day 3 (& some fun free printables)

For today's challenge I took my kids to the library to get some of my favorite childhood books. To go along with our library trip I found these free printables from Simple As That blog

How fun, right? My kids get so excited to fill out their reading logs and eat some "bookworm" treats as they read. Print some out and make a reading log for your own kid- they'll love it! 

Ok, now on to business. Here's my submission for today's assignment: books

I have this really wonderful italian cookbook that my best friend gave to me that I set up to be a combo book/cooking shot. I tried something way way way out of my style and added a Pink Vintage Overlay to it just to spice things up.







PS- I've decided our challenges will be a Mon-Fri thing so we can have weekends off. Landen's birthday is tomorrow and I have another special video to share with everyone!

Tutorial Tuesday (and Freebies!)-Different Projects using Digital Kits

I get a lot of questions about Digital Scrapbooking. What is it? What do you do with it? It's kind of ridiculous, but I've actually never made a scrapbook out of any digital kits. What I mainly use digital scrapbooking kits for is Home Decor. I have a really whimsical style, and using digital kits and paper crafts is a cheap, easy, and fun way to change out the decorations of my house and give everything a facelift.



Like I mentioned yesterday, after watching last week's webshow I got really revved up and made a ton of stuff they talked about using the Remarkable Digital Kit. I made myself a planner with To Do Lists, Menus & Shopping Lists, and some Mantras & goal pages to keep myself on track. But what I really needed was a schedule with the hours & half hours of the day mapped out, however that was not in the digital kit. So, I got to work in Photoshop and made my own. Since you can't find it in the kit, I figured I can share it here for you to use!

To make it I used the Remarkable Kit brushes & the numbers from the Fall Junque Kit

I printed out some cover pages (both re-designed by me & included in the Remarkable Kit) on Manila Folders for sturdiness and glued them to some leftover chipboard from yesterday's project. *Remember-use cereal boxes! then printed out all my pages to my planner on plain white copy paper and tied with some Divine Twine. I. am. in. love. So handy & oh so cute to carry around.



Then I got to work on some other fun projects for my house, like some banners and more signs to decorate the shelf over my piano. I used the Remarkable Circle Printable Sheet (which was free on Wednesday's webshow, but now only $0.99!) and punched out the designs with my scallop circle punch, hot glued them to more Divine Twine and hung it on my mantel shelf. I wanted another banner up there, so I created one using the same colors & elements from the Remarkable Kit. Again, since it's not available in the kit, I wanted to share it with you here. Just print out, cut into strips, fold in half & cut notches for the little flag shapes. Then hot glue onto Divine Twine and string up!



I had an extra frame leftover, so I printed up one of the Spark Quotes in an 8 x 10 and glued it into the frame.


I resolved to do a family album that can also double as decor for my piano. I used more of the Remarkable Kit & Circle Printables, Divine Twine, & added a crepe ruffle & rhinestones to the cover. I plan to add pages to the album each week- let's hope I can keep that up this time!



Now I have a decorated section of my house that makes me smile every time I walk by
