We all view the world through a different lens, and may have very strong feelings about what’s happening in it today. However, I think one thing unites us: Prima Marketing. I think we can all agree that they make the most AMAZING goodies!
This week, I worked with the Pretty Mosaic collection. What an absolute pleasure!
The paper reminds me of those old historic mansions, with crumbling tiles and high ceilings. I felt like I should be wearing an organza gown of some sort and be posing on ancient stairs. It’s so very romantic and cozy.
All my premade layouts are available in my eBay shop too! See something here that speaks to the old castle-lover in you? Stop by my shop and I can send it to you!
Thanks for taking this charming tour with me today. Happy crafting, my friend! xoxo
I found these printables on Pinterest for the butterflies in my page, if you’d like to print them too. I printed them at a 5×7 inch size to get the butterflies you see here:
Hope this pretty scrapbook project makes you as happy to look at as the joy I had while making it. Thanks for being a part of my craft community – please keep in touch!
For the products used in this layout, please check out these links:
I used the entire collection in the past couple days, and it made me so happy in my heart.
I’ve never seen a paper collection with ephemera and die-cuts like these – books, pen and ink, and 3D notebook die-cuts!
I made lots of collage-style pages using the die-cuts in the collection, along with the Cobalt and Sky Wildflowers.
Fun, right?! For the layout above, I cut around the boarder of one page and popped it up with cardboard to create a kind of shadowbox effect. The paper underneath is from Tim Holtz.
What do you think? Which page is your favorite? I sell all my premade pages in my Etsy and eBay shops too, if you’d like to add any of these layouts to your own album or shadowbox.
Thanks for taking this tour with me today! Keep in touch, and happy crafting! xoxo
The only thing more fun than making bee-themed scrapbook pages, is being able to use about a billion bee puns. You’ve been warned.
I was buzzin’this week, making cards and layouts using these adorable printables I purchased from Dots Inspiration Shop on Etsy.
I couldn’t BEE-lieve how adorable they were when I printed everything out (seriously, you should have seen my craft table. It was like a field of honeybees in the first warm day of summer, far as the eye could see).
I love the grungy look to the paper and honey, it just worked perfectly. 🙂
I really couldn’t BEEany happier with the way they all turned out.
With a little hand-dyed ribbon and flowers, these pages are happy as springtime bees in a field of dandelions.
I have a tutorial all about how to make these flowers and seam binding here:
You can find the paint and ink spray used on Amazon in the links below:
I love this color combo so much too! I can’t BEE-lieve how well it translated from spring to fall with just a change of flowers and background paper.
This last one is probably one of my favorites. I feel like I say that a lot, but honestly I just love working with paper and flowers so much!
I list all my newest scrapbook layouts and greeting cards on eBay and Etsy each Sunday too, so please stop by my shop and check out what’s available. I’m always so happy to give my creations a good home. 🙂
Hope you’ve enjoyed this quick look at my week in paper. Thanks for buzzin’over. I’m going to flutterback to work on some new goodies for next week!
Please keep in touch – I’d love to know what you think about these pages.
Follow me on YouTube, FB and Instagram too! I’d love to BEEfriends! xoxo

Welcome! Today’s post highlights these flippin’ adorable baby pages I made using the Graphic 45 Baby 2 Bride collection.
I received a custom request for some baby boy pages for a woman with a new grand baby, and she loves vintage layouts. With lots of Distress Ink, tons of 48 and Market flowers, along with some doilies and goodies from Little Birdie Crafts, I was able to make these sweet layouts that are sure to be treasured for years!

Nothing says cozy quite like a fabulous wreath on one’s front door. Also, is it just me, or have wreaths come a long way in the last few years? The amount of creative ideas are astounding! Here are five of my favorites.

The burlap craze continues over at Craftaholics Anonymous! I’ve seen these wire frames at Michael’s and have always wanted to try this technique. I think it would make a fun kid’s craft, too.
