April Patches of Pink Link up Party

The theme for April is babies...and who doesn't love babies?!  I've had several people that I know recently add sweet bundles of joy to their families, and I couldn't be happier for them.  As for me....my baby is 16 and the only tiny one that will be added to the family will be in the form of a grandbaby....and that better not happen for several years. My almost 21 yr old son isn't dating anyone and has no interest in getting married for a long time and of course my baby is still a baby herself.  I do have 3 step daughters though and the two older ones are dating seriously....so who knows what their futures will bring!  Maybe there will be a baby around the house sooner rather than later!!  ;)

Here is my project for the April theme.  I just love frames, love customizing them to fit  room decor, a certain theme or someone's personality.  I made this card using the giraffe and palm tree from Create A Critter and my cricut, the monkey is a digi stamps from Meljen's called Monkey Toes.  I adore this monkey!!!

Patches of Pink Design Team!

So, I have some super exciting news to share....


I am a new design team member over at Patches of Pink!!   Whoot!  I am so excited as this is my first time being on a DT!  I am looking forward to fun challenges and working with the other DT members!

The theme for this challenge is Valentine's Day.  This is the project I made for the theme and figured that it could stay up long past Valentine's Day was over.  I just love aqua and red together, it's such a happy color combination! 

I spray painted the frame with aqua spray paint, made the flowers from burlap and hand cut the leaf from this super cute fabric that I found at JoAnn's.   I found this cute printable and it all came together really pretty easy.

This little table sits next to my entertainment center and serves as my "mantle", I so wish that I had a real mantle to decorate, but I don't.....so this has to work in the meantime! 

Now, we want to see your Valentine's Day creations. Head over to Patches of Pink and the Valentine's Day link -up Party and show us  something that you have created.  Also, check out what the other designers have created, lots of inspiration!!

 The link-up party will end on Tuesday, February 28th at 11:59pm EST.
