Jumbled Post - Favorite Finds Friday (On Saturday) - Sketch Saturday 10 (+ Bonus Sketch)

Ready for a post jumbled full of goodies? I didn't make my "Favorite Friday Finds" post yesterday (due to a severe case of the lazies) so I'm going to mash it into the "sketch saturday post". ;) Hopefully you all won't mind.

 From Top - Left to Right

• These sweet little rustic felt deer by Kim are adorable. I know some people might find the whole deer head fad a little creepy but I can honestly say that I love it!
• These fabulous bracelets look like a fun little project I could do with my daughter. She would just love it! Martha Stewart is a genius.
• Washi Tape Feathers by Riikka. What a brilliant idea!
• I love these cute felt piggy bank coin purses!

Onward to the sketches! 

I have something a little different for this Sketch Saturday. A card sketch featuring a ruffley flower.

...And as most of you know, although I 'retired' from the Color Me Scrappy design team - I still design sketches for them. Twice a month you can expect a bonus sketch as part of Sketch Saturday. If you are interested in playing along using this sketch (and possibly winning a fabulous prize) - pop on over to Color Me Scrappy.

Happy weekend everyone!

Favorite Finds Friday

Hellooo Friday.♥  Here are some favorites from the week.
From top - left to right:

• This guitar girl embroidery hoop art makes me want to give this craft a try. Isn't it lovely and so inspiring? A talented girl has made it her goal to make one embroidery hoop art every day for a year. Check out her blog, 365 Lucky Days, for more inspiring work like this...daily!
• DIY Confetti Throwers by Jordan Ferney of the  Oh Happy Day blog. These could be a lot of fun!
• My husband and I plan on renewing our wedding vows on our 10 year anniversary so of course I've been secretly planning on the wedding ceremony on Pinterest. I just adore these DIY giant flowers. Stuff like this makes me seriously excited for the future! Seven years down...three more to go! ;)
• I love everything about this layout by Tanya Hubbard! The fun layering, the symmetry, and especially that little envelope that holds the memorabilia! 

 

While I love reading other scrappy/crafty blogs, my guilty pleasure is a good lifestyle blog. I bookmarked a new lifestyle blog - Hello Darling Dear by Zie Darling. All of her posts are inspiring, filled with pretty images, and most of all I love her fashion posts. We seem to have the same body type and I love her sense of style. My closet needs a boost of inspiration...badly.

Happy Friday! I hope your weekend is merry.

Favorite Finds Friday

Happy Friday, everyone! Favorite Finds Friday is back after it's break last week. Let's see what goodies I found....

From Top to Left:

• This adorable "I love you deerly." themed bedroom. I love the little bambi plushie!
• DIY Heart Patch Leggings. This is going to be a must do for both my daughter's leggings and mine.
• DIY Pom Pom Bookmarks. So easy, and so cute! Makes a perfect gift idea, too.
• Edible Glittered Fortune Cookies. What a great new years party idea!
• DIY Toilet Paper Roll Crown. So cute and easy! It would be a fun little prop for a photoshoot.
• This 12x12 layout by Jen - sillypea. I love the literal use of the geotags! What a great way to keep traveled memories.
• These DIY Castle Lights are amazing and much easier to make than you'd think!

Have a happy weekend!

Favorite Finds Friday + Snow Day Pictures

From top to left:

•  This adorable idea for a birthday cake (from Sweetapolita). Bake the cake, cover it in white fondent, and then like the birthday girl (or boy) decorate it themselves! It'd be neat for a art themed party or just to do every year (and see how much they improve each time). 
• This gorgeous page by Megan Klauer is so inspiring!
• How adorable is this Bunny Bag from Meli Melo?
• Hello beautiful! I love the vintage chic feel of this photo. Everything about it is perfect.
• Mini Pom-Pom Headband. Absoulutely precious for a little girl! I want to make one for Charlotte. For some reason they remind me of Cindy Lou Hoo.

 Another favorite isn't exactly from this week. I found Lindsey Stirling's music a few months ago thanks to a friend. I instantly fell in love with how cute she is and the beautiful music she puts out. If your ears have not been blessed enough to hear her then push the play button right away! I gurantee you will be replaying it over and over again. Don't forget to check out her other videos too!
Last but not least - we were actually lucky enough to get a little snow earlier this week! It was Charlotte's first time playing in it and she LOVED it.

I hope you enjoyed my picks this week. Happy Friday!
 

Favorite Finds Friday

Happy Friday! Ready to see what pretty picks I have for you?

1. This gorgeous art print by Ariana Perez. I seriously want this framed and hanging in my crafty space. ♥
2. This wonderful DIY pull toy by Merete over at One More Mushroom. She provides a tutorial. I want to make one for Charlotte.
3. This layout by Jana Eubank for My Minds Eye. She created a confetti border with MME's enamel dots, and I just love it!
4. This gorgeous hoop art.
5. This lovely layout by Rahel Manig. I love the way she did her journaling strips into little banners. They are so tiny and cute.

I also have a few 'off the record' sort of favorites this week! The first of the two being Elizabeth
Kartchner's newest blog - "Paper Party". She and other scrapbook designers will be showing off projects, providing tutorials, and chit chatting about all the pretty papers!

She will be throwing challenges every week. In her own words... "Every Wednesday, beginning February, Lizzy or another party animal will post a challenge or a catalyst for a project. You will have the week to work on something and post your project to your blog or facebook. Then link here at Paper Party to your project. We call this our “Linky Party.”  We then can be inspired by everyone’s projects and ideas. A big, fat scrap party."

Doesn't it sound like so much fun? I am very excited about it. The blog already has plenty of pretty content on it so be sure to take a look!

The second favorite find of the week is a TV show. Downton Abbey to be precise. I know the show isn't exactly "new" but it's new to me. I noticed a lot of threads about it over at 2Peas and decided to give it a try. I am hooked! I'm currently a few episodes into Season 2.

It captivated me from the start with it's ongoing story line that pulls you in, and the characters that you come to love (or hate) so dearly. The early 1900s was a beautiful time - especially compared to the gauche 21st century we live in today. I love being able to take a glimpse into the past.
 

Favorite Finds Friday - CHA edition!

CHA is over, and the excitement is coming to a close. My wishlist for this winter is huge! There are a ton of products that caught my eye and I really enjoyed checking out the gorgeous booths (virtually, of course). I thought it would be fun for this "Favorite Finds Friday" to do a CHA feature.

1 & 8 - Would you just look at those adorable black rimmed glasses and that "Smile Daily" sign? Heidi Sonboul is a genius! It's a part of her beautiful booth at CHA! And to go along with her booth is her very fun, very unique collection - Special Delivery. I just love the modern designs it has to offer! Photo credit goes to Heidi Sonboul.
2 - A wall full of pretty inspiration from the Basic Grey design team. Photo credit goes to Shimelle Laine.
3 - I am so excited about Amy Tangerine's Embroidery Kits! Photo credit goes to Shimelle Laine.
4 - This washi tape wrapped bike at the My Minds Eye booth is to stinkin' cute!
5 & 6 -  American Craft's Dear Lizzy booth and Lucky Charm collection. Elizabeth Kartchner wins me over every year, with her collections, and her booth is always full of whimsy! Picture credit goes to May Flaum.
9 - The Albums Made Easy 3x4” Card Punch by We R Memory Keepers. While some may say that they don't want to waste the money on this punch (because the same can be done with a paper trimmer, and a corner rounder), I am pretty excited about it. I feel like it would make the whole scrapbooking process a lot faster.
10 - Webster's Pages had this ggorgeous display in their booth. Photo Credit goes to Vicki Boutin.
11 - I love these trinkets from the new Crate Paper line by Maggie Holmes. Photo Credit goes to Paper Issues.
12 & 7 - Saving the best for last, I am most excited about Bella Blvd this year! First of all - just look at that gorgeous bridal gown made out of paper. Next - their new wedding collection is so perfect! I haven't scrapped my wedding photos because all of the wedding themed collections seem to be so 'old' and 'vintagey' looking. Not this collection! It's very whimsical and right up my alley.

I hope you enjoyed this Friday's finds and have a happy weekend!
I apologize in advance if none of it make any sense. My two year old has insisted on staying up until 12:00 at midnight and waking up at 5:30 in the morning...for the past week! I'm completely drained.
 

Favorite Finds Friday

I don't know about you guys, but I am ready for the weekend! Especially with all the CHA events that are going on. ;)
Here are my favorite finds of the week.

1. I found these little gems on pinterest (via The Living Gazette). Plastic little dinosaurs (and other animals) that can be found in most stores, spray painted gold. They are so trendy - and affordable!
2. Design Sponge did a post featuring pictures of a couple's home decor. I fell in love with their refrigerator! It's officially my new goal to cover my own refrigerator with lovely photos to be displayed. I love the coral color too!
3. Confetti filled balloons. How adorable are they? Such a brilliant idea!
4. I love the idea of Project 12 and I will be participating this year. It's just like Project Life but instead of doing it weekly - the project is done monthly. That fits my lifestyle much better! The beautiful Project 12 featured on this week's finds is by Angie Gutshall.
5. I'm speechless over how adorable this little Disney "Stache" jar by Jessica Joy is!

Thanks for taking a peek at this week's favorite finds!
Happy CHA weekend!
