2SF Guest Designer!!

Okay--so, I'm a bit late with this post, but settling into the new house + a bit of time away at the cottage has left no time for being on the computer.  Alas, here I am with an exciting post (for me, anyway). 

A few months ago, the lovely Joanne and Carolyn at Two Scrapbook Friends asked me if I would like to be a Guest Designer.  Humbled and over-joyed, I jumped at the chance!! So this August, they featured me and some of my projects on their blog.  They gave me some yummy products to work with; here they are:

 Confession--I didn't have any photos that I thought would work with this berry paper, so I have to admit, I grabbed a bowl of strawberries and brought my youngest, Caden, outside for a photo shoot.  I can always count on him for some great photos.

 Here's a close up of the berry embellisment.  I added glitter to the leafy stem, and added Glossy Accents to the berry to compliment the shine from the glittered Thickers.

 Here's a card--embossed with a Tim Holtz woodgrain embossing folder.  The stamped sentiment and die-cut frame is from My Favorite Things stamp set (which I picked up at 2SF, and I LOVE it!!!)

 When I saw the peach die-cut in the embellisment pack I got, I knew I had to pair it with this sweet sentiment from PTI's Signature Greetings.  The dotted green paper is recycled from the packaging of the die-cut embellishment package.  You know me; I love to recycle!

 When I saw the berry-themed paper, all I could think of was Sweedish berries (maybe, I was a bit hungry), so I made up this small mason-jar filled birthday treat.  The tag could easily be changed for any occasion (thank-you, get-well, teacher, etc). 

 You could make such packages with all sorts of candy!  A walk down the candy aisle at Bulk Barn is inspiration enough.  I love Peach Slices myself, but when I got the die-cut watermelon from 2SF, I couldn't resist picking up the Melon slice gummies to make this "sweet" bag (sorry--bad photo):

Hope you liked my creations!  Hoping to craft today for the first time in well over a month.  My new craft space is nearly set up--super excited about creating in it.  I'm planning to hang up my framed stain-glass in front of my window today so I can take some photos of the space (I call it "space" and not a "room" because it's actually a nook upstairs next to all the bedrooms).  Stay tuned for a post in the next few days where I'll share those photos!!

Have a great Sunday!

Thanks 4 your time!
