Happy Tuesday everyone! leslierahye here with a layout using the new release dies. My family is in 4-H and the kids show rabbits as a project.  The bunny dies in the new release are a perfect accent for my 8×8" layout. I layered mats cut from the Deutschland Boutique stacker set with mats with the Deutschland Border set. I love how they work together nicely with the A2 Frames. We show Californian Rabbits and they have the exact body type as the Bunnies. To finish them off I colored their noses, feet, tail and ears gray/black like the real rabbits. I titled my layout #Iam4H to complete the page.

 Happy Tuesday everyone! leslierahye joining the fun of Christmas in July! I LOVE crafting for the holidays and have to start in July to get it all done! Today I made a holiday tag with the shuttered window die...using it as the inside frame of a window looking out onto a winter scene. I used the two "caps" as a decorate window treatment and window sill. The little trees are ready to be decked for the holidays and the banner reminds us that it's a time for peace.

 Happy Tuesday everyone! leslierahye here flying by with a card to say "HI!". I layered the scallop and classic circle stackers to create a card base I cut and shaped flowers from a coordinating paper pack to created the small gardenia's, sweet Christine's  and the small tea rose. Pearl beads and prills create fantastic centers for these flowers. I glued down blue card stock to a thin piece of card board to die cut the letters "h" and "i"--I outlined the letters with black. I touched the edges of the blooms with Wink of Stella and coated the letters. I completed the card with pen-stitching around the card.

Happy Tuesday everyone! leslierahye here to bring you into the Spring spirit! Here in Texas we just went through Daylight Savings change where we "spring" forward our clocks. We are a few days away from the seasonal change to spring and a few weeks away from the Easter holiday as well. This card will help you celebrate all things spring!
I cut the musical staff mesh border and trimmed it to the size that would fit the large Sentiment Tag 1 die. The remaining piece of diecut was then cut in half again to line up the straight lines of the music staffs. Spray adhesive made adhering the mesh to the background easy. The frame was layered with eggs and flowers to inspire the feelings of spring! I hope you enjoy my card!

 Happy Tuesday everyone! leslierahye here playing along with this week's challenge Tickled Pink! I created my card with shades of pink from a distressed paper pad. To add the green color to the vines and leaves, I used chalks. I bit of line work around the word "love"helps it to stand out against the background. I'm totally loving the paper bow among the flowers!

 Happy Tuesday everyone! leslierahye here a Steampunk Valentine For You! I adore these Streampunk--if you haven't already guessed and this Hearts and Gears set works perfectly with the individual Gears set and the larger Gear Mesh Border! I love using the Optimistic Set to make a Steampunk alphabet by adding in gears for the "o"s in words! The mesh was cut in Black and placed on the Peek-a-boo right and rubbed with a pink Inka Gold cream. Mirrored gold gears were matched up with gears on the hearts and glued above and below the gears. Both hearts were cut from a brushed red metallic cardstock but the smaller heart was inked with gold and rubbed on strategic gears with the pink Inka Gold cream. White pen stitching around the letters and the hearts complete the Valentine! I hope you enjoy my card! Thank you for stopping by!

I've been so blessed to have the best mother in the world.  I hope that when my children are grown that they think I'm even half the Mom that my mother is, she is so wonderful.  I'm sure you feel the same way about your mother.   Have you a some time to create your mother that special card for Sunday?  The good news is you still have the weekend to get one created and if you're using your Cheery Lynn Dies it will go by in no time.

I grew up on the Jersey Shore and was quite dismayed to see a Hurricane with my name make landfall in my hometown area!  I was looking through photos and found these pics I had taken back in the early 70's and thought I would make a 12" x 12"scrapbook page for them.  This is Brant Beach on Long Beach Island where I spent many happy summer days.

Behind each of the photos, I placed a Nautical Wheeler Doily to which I added a bit of Distress ink.  Using my Dotties's Ric Rac I created borders to mount the bottom portion of the Homeward Bound frame.  I added Flower Soft to each of the cattails as well as a bit of Distress ink.  (Thank you, Jodi, for the idea to use just the reeds and cattails)  I used my Lower Case Lace Script alphabet for the words.  When I was a kid and learning to draw, I always called seagulls in the sky "M birds" as they looked like part of the letter "m".  So that is how I created the birds for my layout; I die cut the lower case "m" and then trimmed out my bird, lol.

Hello! Jodi here with a Holiday card full of fun tips and ideas!

I started by cutting the base of my card with the largest of the Scalloped Square Stackers Nesting dies, layered with the Classic Square Silver Stacker. The Dainty Dutch Deco Frame adds the perfect elegance to the background on my card.

I stacked each of the letters adhering as I went followed with a cardstock letter, creating the same feel as the expensive store bought letters for a much better price, and custom made to match my project!
