Engagement Layout with lots of Trimmings

I made this layout as a Congratulations/Thank You Gift for my daughter's 2nd Grade Teacher.  This is her engagement photo and I wanted to make her something special because my daughter adores her and loves her!   So, I loaded this layout with some of my own private collections of laces from Britex and some new trims that will become available at my shop very soon!  The paper line I used is from DCWV and I picked it because I felt that it matched the photo very well.  I loaded the layout with flowers from Prima as well as IAR's.  Hope Ms. C likes it!  

Hear yee, heer yee....

What a great month it has been!  It brings me great pleasure to introduce, Ivett Carrillo as a designer for the TPBP.  I  met Ivett for the first time last month and boy did she show me technique after technique!  I have been an admirer of her art for a long time now, and it was crazy to see her make something beautiful LIVE.  I am so impressed with her design style I had to ask if she would be a designer.  Thank you Ivett for joining me in this journey!

Drum Roll Please......

I'm just a girl in the world.... (Gwen singing to me)

Those are the thoughts that linger around my brain when I think of how lucky and grateful I am to announce that I have this amazing lady supporting and representing TPBP. I have been watching her videos for about 2 years now and you would think the creative juices would run out, but she's like the Energizer Bunny. Her creativity never seems to dissipate.

The wonderful Bona Rivera-Tran:

Have a Wonderful Weekend Everyone!

I thought I'd share some cards I made to you all! I can't believe it's already mid April and I barely finished posting all my new trims on ETSY. Phew.... I'm glad I'm done for now.

I had my 8th year Anniversary yesterday and it was amazing! My husband took the day off and we began our day with Target Shooting! Boy, was I scared. First time I ever shot a gun, and the feeling for me is very much like riding a roller coaster. You know what's going to happen and you want it to happen, but right when it happens, you are like what in the world did I get myself into! Then we went to San Francisco and he took me to a 4 story Fabric Store! So, I was in there for a good 3 hours. LOL

Then, for dinner we went to this beautiful restaurant and to my surprise, we had personalized menu's with our names on it saying: "Happy 8th Year Anniversary Matthew and Beverly." That was awesome!

Anyway, I am so happy to be with this guy! He is so wonderful! I fell inlove AGAIN!

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Graphic 45 Altered Object Metal Challenge

Hi Everyone! I absolutely love The Curtain Call Paper Line from Graphic 45 because you can pretty much choose a variety of themed projects under this one collection. From Silent Films, Paris, and my favorite Jazz. I chose to focus on the Jazz portion and wanted to add this to my Mardi Gra Mask. I had a ton of fun creating this piece and Graphic 45's metal staples and paper line, made it easy for me to create this beautiful mask.



I will be making a video on this piece on how I put it together very soon! So tune into my Channel on youtube: Thepiecebypiece

Thank you for stopping by! ENJOY!

Le Cirque 12x12 Layout

I had a really fun time putting this layout together. I found some photo's of my kids from last October and it captures the both of them in one of their natural and goofy moments. It was during my brother-in-law's wedding rehearsal. Brooklyn was a Flower Girl and Elijah was the Ring Bearer. They wore a serious face when walking down the aisle, so not to disappoint, but behind the alter doors, this is what I caught them doing. Being silly and goofy. They so love each other and I hope they continue to be close siblings when they are grown.

Layout Supplies: Graphic 45's Le Cirque paper line

Metal Embellishments Discountinued line from Michaels

Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Vintage Photo)

ENJOY!

"Crafty Sisterhood"

I made these Tag Cards for a special lady, Bona! Bona was definitely one of the first 10 people I subscribed to when I first discovered mini scrapbook albums. She has not only inspired me, but she is so supportive of all the women who join her in her creative journey.

I've always wanted to join her swaps and her kit club from back in the days, but the timing was never right for me. I ran a Childcare in my home as well as trying to expand my second business online. Not to mention my two young children Brooklyn (7) and Elijah (5) who keep me busy on my down time (what down time?).

Now I have the opportunity to move forward with my creative expression and to continue to expand my online store and guess what? I sent Bona a message for support and she was so willing and happy to help me! I will never forget this Bona! You are the best. Thank you for coming back to Youtube!
