Just One Cup at a Time

Valentine Hearts and Garland

So I got ummmm a little crafty.....oh yes I did!

I saw this in a post of another post of another post and so on it goes in the blog world.  I liked this one.  Alot.

It was my sister's birthday 2 days after I saw this cute idea and I wasn't sure I could pull it off but I said ahhhh what the heck.  And boy am I glad I did.....she loved it!

And so did Mama O and my sweet friend Shannon....I just kept going.  I gathered my supplies, printed my photos AND my graphic papers at Costco and was off and running.  I was going to print my patterns at home but for $0.13 cents for 2 strips - why waste my ink and paper...I mean seriously.

My gorgeous nieces.

(hellooooooo Kamisha.....we must plan our USC lunch stat!)  Love you :)

Then I went crazy with gift tags and single ones with pretty ribbon.....

I LOVE pretty ribbon with pretty pictures.

Here's the tutorial....it was oh so fun and ohhhhhhh so easy!

Happy heart making.

Lov and freedom

Blog you say?  What blog?  Who has time for a blog? 

I'm too busy being in love to blog!!

In love....yes with the love of design and an intense love of color right now.

Two friends just gave me freedom to do whatever I want for their new babies...freedom!!  I don't think they have any idea what they just got themselves into. :)  A creative being LOVES to hear the word freedom!

I'm in heaven - up to my eyeballs in heaven but happy none the less!

Then another friend asked me to make invites and in the same sentence said the word Owl.  I've forgiven her but it's going to take me awhile to get over the pain....the Owl pain!  Me + Owls = not pretty.  Don't ask!

Website Wednesday and DIY-ing

A fabulous DIY website - Nonpareil Magazine.  It's awesome!

Sure it focuses a ton on weddings, which of course I happen to be a wee bit partial too but.....some amazing stuff for other events too!  Lots of tutorials, downloads, etc. 

Some of these ladies are amazingly gifted and talented.

Lots of fab resources!  Tell them I sent you - they won't have a clue who you're talking about :)

Enjoy!!

Font cookie cutters

Fonts and baking?

Is there anything better?

Nope, not to this Stationery Crazed Font loving Female!! 

Hey that could be my new Online name...it has a ring to it!

Just call me SCFLF! :)

Helvetica font cookie cutters!!

How can she tease us like this when you can't even get them right now???? 

Ah man - on my wish list it goes.....in the cute little book of dreams I carry everyday.....here's hoping one day I can check it off the list....along with husband, baby, mansion on the beach, retirement....and font cookie cutters.  Perfect!

Valentine Imprintables

Eeek I might scream from excitement and from my eyes hurting!!!

There is so much creativity out there I could just sit and drool all day everyday!  In my new weekly schedule for this year, I have mapped out some "research" time.  Time to scour the internet for inspiration and to stay up-to-date with the latest trends and designs.  There is sooo much out there that at the end of my research hours my brain and my eyes hurt!

I decided a little bit ago that I wanted to start sharing some fabulous blogs or sites I find and would LOVE for you all to share some of yours with me too.  One fabulous blog or site always leads to another and another and another.

Please pass this on and then share back any little gems you have found!

More to come.........

First.....I just had to share these...they are so cute!  Natalie Jost is a great designer - I have been admiring her talent.  We exchanged a couple emails because I was hoping to be able to do some work with her, incorporate some of her designs, and I may on a project here and there we'll see, but for now I have to share her with you!

These are the most adorable Valentine Card printables that you can download a mini set for FREE or purchase the full set.

How cute would these be to make for your kids to pass out at school?  I am thinking of making some on a slightly larger scale.  We'll see if I can squeeze that in!

Enjoy!

Project Life goes digital!

Need an easy way to scrapbook and get those 365 pics "really" done this year?

I do I do....

Miss Becky Higgins went digital last night with Project Life and I did a happy dance.

No really I did.  On camera No.  In person yes.  It was fun.

Picture taken from her lovely site!!  Check it out - it will change your life.

Okay not really but enhance the time saving part of your life.  It will mine.  I think!
