=======================================================================================

I made a couple of cards this weekend with Basic Grey's Pb&J line...

products used: straight pins & flags, chipboard flower stickers; Hero Arts Rubber Stamps Out of Print Flower Dot Pattern Cling Stamp Set

=======================================================================================

new stuff...

======================================================================================

First page, was done for my first post from TCD's design team blog post yesterday. I used her new Sweet Afternoon line and stamps.

======================================================================================

====================================================================================

These next two pages I have been working on for the past couple of days-I used BG Konnichiwa line

====================================================================================

Since it is spring break for the girls this week, I did a layout & revamped a page today! The card I did two weeks ago. I really love the new BG What's Up line-I seem to be drawn to the muted colors. I used it for the layout & card. Accordion flowers

====================================================================================

===================================================================================

OK, so one of my pages I did using Teresa Collins' Sweet Afternoon line was bothering me. I rushed to get it done after giving up on that page I did with Kiela & the butterflies(3 posts back). It still didn't turn out like what I had in my head, lol. But better then it was! I keep looking at it and thinking 'why did I do that and why didn't I do...' Oh, well.

Keisha, if you're not set, I would highly recommend either Revere Pewter or Edgecomb Gray, both by Benjamin Moore. They two of the most fabulous grays and Ben Moore is the best paint on the market. Edgecomb Gray kind of changes with the light and it can give a room so much depth.

Trell, thanks so much for the BM tip! I am going to check it out-not sure if I have ever looked in BM paints. Home Depot is just the place that we go to all the time.

I absolutely LOVE all the natural lighting your office gets, makes it look so awesome. Your home and your family are stunning Keisha. You are very blessed! I have Cloudy Day in my bathroom, it's very pretty but I don't blame you for not wanting it in the living room. I think they greys will look fantastic!! Please show us pics as you go, I really love "watching" you make your home beautiful. It's very inspiring.. Have a great day!! :)

Hey Heaven!! I know we used Cloudy day somewhere, lol. I am not sure if it was the powder room or a hallway. I will show ya when I am locked in on one color!

GOERGEOUS.. I love the layout and the green and white look so fresh and inviting.. I love the grey colour as well, will you be doing that on all the walls or just some feature walls?? I just love the home you and your hubby work so hard at making so beautiful.

Nope, Angie...it will be the whole room(s). The girls & lulu have scuffed the walls and they need a fresh coat all over.

Trying to do something! So I scrapped a page and a new tag last night-see, trying!! For the layout I used BG Indie Bloom line.

Hi Keisha! As always, I'm loving your scrap room! I found the organizer for the Slice from Michaels (thanks for sharing that info with me, by the way!), but now I spy a divider in the drawer that I must have! Is that from the Container Store? It seems to fit perfectly inside!:)

Hi Liz, lol...it does fit so PERFECTLY-I was shocked!! Go to Target...in the closet organizing section...there are some clear drawer organizing bins in 3 sizes-this is the smallest...i think it is about $2.99.

On Wednesday--I scrapped! I stayed in my studio most of the day-working on this one page, lol. At least I did something. I used new BG PB&J line for my layout. The tags I did a few weeks ago and forgot to post them.

========================================================================================

I did a quick page today! Now I need to turn my focus to CHA projects & SNOW! I hope that the snow is not too bad, we have been spoiled with really decent weather this year. Have a great weekend folks! As always, thanks for the comments.

I started putting up some Valentine decor a few days ago. I will add a bit more to what's up so far, I need some garlands. I am not sure if i will make it or buy it! I did make the framed pieces with BG Kissing Booth line.

=======================================================================

=====================================================================================

Another Valentine page using BG Kissing Booth line-I am trying to use up these photos I printed last year, lol! I did the large letters with my Slice.

=====================================================================================

=====================================================================================

Kiela really wanted this pink guitar for Christmas, she came home everyday checking Amazon to see if it was still in stock. Santa was a lucky man; she would have hunted him down if he had not brought it.

=====================================================================================

====================================================================================

A new hobby, crochet? Yes, I promised Kiela I would take her to JoAnn's to buy more yarn & needles today. I barely remember how to crochet or knit, I had to learn in 2nd grade-boys too! Both girls are trying to get the hang of it, I think I might have caught the bug again too...

Two weeks ago West Elm had their pillows on sale and I had a 15% off email-perfect time to get some new pillows for the chairs. Again with neutral tones & metallics! I am waiting on one more pillow that was on backorder. I really love the Mongolian lamb and I would LOVE another-when they are on sale again. Our new sofa came yesterday and it needs new pillows-I am hoping for another sale real soon.
