Our Fate Lies Within...

Happy Wednesday! I'm here today to share an altered composition notebook made for school. It features the Sweet Frou Frou greeting farm girl with an empowering quote:

Our fate lies within us.

You only have to be brave enough to see it.

-Brave. Pixar.

This quote was chosen so that it can remind the recipient to always be brave in whatever she does and to not be afraid of the unknown. I'm hoping that seeing the message daily, it'll ingrain itself into her psyche. A wonderful way to start the new school year.

Since today is my day over on the Quick Creations blog/shop make you sure you hop over where you'll find my post along with the materials I used linked to the shop. While there make sure you take a look around as Noelle is currently having a Back to School Sale.

Thanks for stopping by!

Dreamer

Happy weekend! I'm here to quickly share a 8.5x11 scrapbook page lo using several santoro/gorjuss and lawn fawn products. I just adore this little girl because she looks so sweet with her earphones and teddy bear and she looks like she's just dreaming. This is the reason I titled it "dreamer" because it reminds me of my niece with her new purple hair and her love of music. Thanks for stopping by!

Ps. Don't forget to check out Noelle's "Back to School" sale happening in her shop.

Make It Colorful

Hello! I'm here to quickly share a toki doki inspired piece. When I first saw this giraffe, which comes from a baby theme stamp set, I found it super adorable and used it as intended. You can see my previous card here. However it reminded me a character already out there and after a little googling, I realized that "Buttercup" the toy story unicorn that came to mind was much to simple for this giraffe to be transformed into. So after spying my niece's toki backpack, I was inspired by the unicorn Stellina and came up with this. This card will be for my niece, its a go get them type of card as she's had a couple of rough days at school. Ok, so now I'm off to find a very cool area as the temps here are rising and continue to do so for the nest few days. Yikes! 

Thanks for stopping by.

Sweetest Things

Happy Wednesday! I'm here today to share a trio of creations I made using the Baby Anya and Ian set. This set is just completely adorable because, obviously you get both male and female babies but you also get the most adorable giraffe ever. These babies look great together or separate. I began with the tag (keeping the gift in mind) and then used the same technique to create a card. I did this to have a cohesive look so I could use them together, if need be. 

In regards to the giraffe card, I was aiming for a back to school look/encouragement card but I may have failed in that aspect. Lol. I created it with  my niece in mind (as she is still into cutesy images such as this one) but when I asked what she thought, she said it looked like it was made for a baby :) So the sentiment didn't seem to make an impact and it looks like Ill need to change it.
