Back to School Frame with Deflecto and Buttons Galore

DISCLOSURE: I received free product from Buttons Galore and Deflecto Crafts to use for this project. All designs are my own.

I love buttons. Round buttons, big buttons, shape buttons -- I love them all. That is why I am such a fan of Buttons Galore. They have a ton of adorable buttons made for sewing, scrapbooking, cardmaking, and any other crafty project you can think of. So I was so pleased be chosen to be a guest contributor over at their blog!

For the full instructions and supply list for this awesome back to school frame featuring Deflecto frames, head over to the Buttons Galore blog!

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post. As a member of the Deflecto Design Team I have been provided product in exchange for my creative ideas, views and opinions.

We R Memory Keepers Guest Designer

I am so pleased to be featured as the guest designer over at the We R Memory Keepers Facebook page today!

I created this layout using the new Simply Spring collection from We R and I love it. I loved it so much that I couldn't decide which papers to use... so I used them all! I cut strips from each page and alternated them, adhering onto white cardstock. 

The pictures I used are from my once-in-a-lifetime trip to Ireland last year. They just said "spring" to me, which is great because we sure aren't getting a spring around here in Georgia this year!

Materials used:
Patterned paper: We R Memory Keepers
Cardstock - Bazzill
Paper embellishments: We R Memory Keepers
Flower embellishment: Maya Road
Ink: Sakura, EK Success
Ribbon: Making Memories
Adhesive: Tombow, Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L
Flower embellishments: Prima, Making Memories
Stick pin, buttons: unknown


Thanks so much to We R Memory Keepers for giving me this awesome opportunity!

Love this website!

My friend Debbie has started a fantastic blog called Debbie Does Creations and I love it! She makes some great home decor items, posts fantastic recipes, and keeps her eye out for coupons and sales on craft supplies. Go check her out and enjoy.

I am honored that she has asked me to guest post on her blog next month! Watch for details coming soon!

I'm going international!

I've known about this for a few weeks now, but it is now official so I can share with you:

I'm going international!!!

I am proud to announce that I will be the guest contributor on not one, but two scrapbooking websites based in other countries. In April, I will be featured at ScrapGreece (a Greek website) and Scrapping Shoebox (out of Australia). I will be sharing some brand-new layouts and tutorials on both sites.

I am pretty excited about this opportunity because it opens up my work to a much bigger audience. It will also be fun to see how my tutorials translate into Greek! And don't worry if you can't read Greek; the ScrapGreece site has a handy translator function!

Now this news has nothing to do with the post from yesterday. I never heard anything so I will just sigh and move forward. As you can see, I have other opportunities to keep me busy!

Hope you all have a fantastic weekend!
