A wreath like no other!

Crazy how the month of April has flown by, I've been so busy with work and school.....  I decided to get ahead on some of my creative crafts and wanted to share with you what I have been up too for the last couple days...  Inspiration hit when I received my paper source magazine after looking at that I was sold.....



 I love using my Silhouette Cameo, it made this project so fun and very cost effective!  I already had the 3d peony flower in my library, so I just sized the flowers to what I wanted and then she was off cutting away :-)


I used bazzill cards stock for each of the flowers along with the leaves.  I also used the McGill kit to roll the flower edges creating the curling effect, works like a charm every time!


I layered them and used my awesomeness craft glue to put the flowers together adding a touch of fun crystal stickles to create that bling effect I love so much.....


I ended up with an extra flower which I'm going to turn into a pin to wear on  my apron at my work....  Easy to do when I work at Archiver's scrapbook store :-)  I hope you enjoy my fast, fun post! 
Have a blessed week and remember to Choose Joy, your life depends on it peeps!

Stepping out of the box we create!

So many times when I'm scrapbooking I tell myself I'm more of a scrap lifter and I really can't create!  I had a wake up call this past week when working a co-worker said "you need to not think like that!  Anyone can create just give yourself the ok to do it."  Working at Archiver's a scrapbook store I thought it was about time to take a chance and see what happens.....
I had so much fun just creating this layout!  There was no stress I just sat down and decided to create a page about "me" :-)  
I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut the butterflies out onto the cardstock giving it the 3d effect!  Another thing new I learned :-)
Creating with the Maggie Holmes line was simply awesome!  The fun fabric frames worked out so well on this layout!
It has always been amazing to me the limits we put on ourselves.  We can do anything we put our minds too, and I'm grateful to Angela at Archiver's for helping me to see I too can create I just have to let myself try.....

I pray everyone has a super blessed week!  Remember to "Choose Joy"
