Guest designing for Life In Details

Good morning everyone! I have been honored with the opportunity to guest design for Life In Details challenge blog this month. It's a great challenge site if you are into creating Project life/Pocket pages or Smash books. You really need to check them out if you haven't already. The challenge this month is to create a confetti pocket. Sounds like fun right? I admit I'd never done one before, but I really enjoyed it and I love how it turned out.
 I simply added some sequins, seed beads, buttons, butterfly and circle punches, and a few wood veneers and stitched the top of the pocket closed. Easy Peasy! And here's the whole page.
If you create pocket pages/PL consider playing along and link up your confetti pockets here. And check out the beautiful examples the DT have created to inspire you with. Have a blessed day and thanks so much for stopping in!

Black With 2 & a recipe

Good morning all! June is here and it's time for the reveal of June's mood board from Black With Two.
I decided to try doing a recipe page for my take on the board and this is my page.
I wanted to keep it clean and simple so that it would fit into the book easily and be functional. I have thought about doing a recipe book for awhile and this month's mood board inspired me to finally start. My sister's always calling me with "How do you make..." so I've gathered a few of her requests and plan to make her a recipe book. I used papers from Fabscraps Raspberry line. After searching around all the local stores for fake raspberries that I could use to embellish the page with I decided to try making my own with my hot glue gun and some seed beads.
Now it's your turn and you have until the end of the month to link up your projects with us. I can't wait to see your take on the mood board!
