There is so much to do with this sweet little retro set! I have many projects lined up using this one. Here is what I created, a fun little PML card for my upcoming vacation to Kill Devil Hills, NC....

Today I have lots to share with you using our featured,  
Up first, a page I created using the left overs of already cut pages. I wanted to make sure every cut piece of this paper is used up!!! It is so pretty in person! This page features my sweet two year old niece, Hadley Mae. 
I used the flower stamp in second and third generation to create these flowers. The inks used are Cotton Candy and Fern. I curled the petals and used a foam dot for dimension. I also used second and third generation stamping with the "real moments".
Here are the flowers at the bottom of the photo to balance it out. 
I also stamped these flowers and repeated the waterfall with "real memories". Of course, I had to add some bits of gold bling! 
 
I also created a video to share some Happy Times projects
This paper pack can be yours for FREE if you have a qualifying $60 purchase during May. If you choose, you can buy this pack for $14.95. The stamp available for $17.95.

Rose Blossom Cricut Blog Hop!

Guess what time it is? That's right.....the 15h!!! 
Chances are that you are coming from Kristine's Merry Heart Creations. Kristine always has such creative ideas to share with us! I am in awe of what she creates. Don't worry if you haven't followed along from the beginning of the hop, a complete list is at the bottom of this post. 
Today we feature the exclusive CTMH Cricut Cartridges
I chose to use the Artiste and Artistry for the cuts featured on my page. 
This base page is a Poppy Fundamentals with a mix of black polka dots and chevrons from the La Vie En Rose pack. I had to ink up all the edges and used some coordinating stamps too! It is a very fast and easy page to show how simple cuts and stamps can embellish your page. 
Here are my cuts....This banner is cut from Artiste using the La Vie En Rose paper....
Next, I used Artistry to cut the "Right Now" shape and the title. I used Artiste to cut the embellishments at the top. These were stamped with images that are included with each cartridge. 
Now, hop on over to Margot's Mix. You are sure to be inspired by her fantastic artwork!

Chances are that you are coming from The Pixie Dust Playground, where I am sure Mary's creativity has inspired you purchase this sweet Stamp of the Month....Sunshine Birdies....
This incredibly sweet set can be yours for just $5 when you purchase $50 or more! 
First, I stamped the images with Stazon Black ink. Then I pulled out my ShinHan makers to color them. So smooth and so very pretty! 
 To me, this set screamed....."please use me with Penelope".... and so I did, along with the complements and some silver glitter gel. 
 Here is my "sunshine", my two year old niece Hadley Mae. The photo was taken last year and I have been saving it for the perfect paper. So happy that I did. The photo really does not show the beauty of this paper.

Rose Blossom Balloon Animals Blog Hop

Welcome to the Rose Blossom Blog Hop on the 15th of January!

You probably just came from the fabulous Kristine's Merry Heart Creations you are in the right spot. Don't worry though, there is a complete list of all the Blossoms on the hop at the bottom of my post. 

Isn't this the most adorable stamp set?!!!
I have a friend who is expecting and so I used a sheet of white daisy cardstock to stamp a pattern of glacier, pixie, and canary balloon animals. I added some gypsy for just a pop.  I then used the Artiste to cut the paper to create this little goodie bag and enclosed a gift card to BabiesRus.
 Here is a peek at the side of the goodie bag.
 I cut the sentiment from the Artistry cartridge and finished the top off with glacier and pixie twine!
Now you can hop on over to Margot's Mix and see what she has created with this adorable stamp!
Here is the entire list of Blossoms on the hop!

Live Your Day Rose Blossom Blog Hop.....

Welcome to the Rose Blossom Blog Hop on the 15th of January!

You probably just came from the fabulous Mary's Pixie Dust Playground, you are in the right spot. Don't worry though, there is a complete list of all the Blossoms on the hop at the bottom of my post. 
I have this little deal going today....
If I sell 5 sets during the hop, I will be having a random drawing (from those who purchase) for a $25 Gift Certificate to shop on my online store! 
I decided that since I had already created a video showing how to use these cards in your planner, that I would use them on a layout, as layers. This is what I had when I finished.....
This photo shows the journal card, the Be Happy card as a layer/title and the little strips I cut to create the banners. 
 I used a strip of one of the cards and just a pretty piece of our new black ribbon to balance the black of the Hello element. 
 I even used the polka dot (that was left from cutting the Hello out) to create a banner and placed some washi on it. 
 Of course, I had to use some bits of gold.... I am a bling girl for sure! 
Now you can hop on over to Brenda's blog to join us from the beginning! 
Here is the entire list of Blossoms on the hop!

Rose Blossom Beloved Bouquet Stamp of the Month Hop...

Welcome to 2016 and Happy New Year!!!
We are celebrating this day in high fashion! It is also our .....
It doesn't matter where you begin on this hop, we go in a circle. If you came here from Kristine's Merry Heart Creations you are on the right 
path. I'm sure you were so inspired by her ever lovely project. 
This month our stamp is Beloved Bouquet, look at this-beautiful set. Imagine all the possibility with this one. 
 I used the smaller flower and third generation stamping for the base in poppy ink. The center flower is second generation. I did the same for the leaves and fussy cut them.
 This set is just so easy to achieve perfect stamping.
I cut the mason jar from the Artistry cartridge at 7.25 out of watercolor paper and used our watercolors to add just a hint of "water" to the jar. It is finished off with just a twist of poppy twine. 
The sentiment is gold embossed with three complementing gold sequins attached at the top of the card. 
 Don't forget about our National Paper crafting month! This set is $8.95 and one lucky winner will receive it FREE!!!! How, simply place an order with me here and on January 31, 2016, I will announce the winner of this fabulous Picture My Life set!!!!
Now, if you can head on over to visit Brenda to join the hop from the beginning or below is a complete list of all Blossoms in this hop.
