Want2Scrap has these fun new tags and since Easter is just around the corner I created some fun and pretty tags to pop in the baskets. Here is a list of the main materials I used...with each new tag I added more colors of paint, bling and embellishments, but the base of each tag was created in the same way.

I first sprayed each tag with spray ink.

After it dries I use a mask or template and add a little paint.

Now it is time for embellishments...both bling butterflies, chipboard embellishments , or rose ribbons work equally as well. Of course for the chipboard we got to add a little extra paint fun!

Then for a finished look add stamps, more paint for the edges, rub-ons, bling and pearls of various colors...they add the pop that says "Spring has Sprung"!

How about all these pretty spring colors!

I hope this inspires you to did into your crafts and create for the season!

Want2Scrap Chipboard Dress Form...love!

Have you seen Want2Scrap's new Chipboard Dress Form? I decided I had to alter this and after I was done...I made a fun, and pretty big card/invite for a friend.

I decided to use Gesso on the base and then added a layer of Plum Walnut Ink. I painted the top layer of the form with black paint and then used spray ink to add some shimmer.

I tied on some tulle and added one of Want2Scraps Hot Pink 1" Roses.

Then I adding the new Nestabling Decorative Dress Form . I also added a touch of Fancy Waves Bling Border. 

After my altered dress form was done I framed it with cardstock and added my sentiment.

Mimi Leinbach: Another Set of Art Journaling Pages

The February Frugal Fab Kit from Scarlet Lime is so pretty. I just love the beach themed products and considering the beach is one of my favorite places in the world I ran with that idea.

Since I am seriously into my Art Journal...this seemed like the perfect time to celebrate my love of the beach.

This fantastic bling seahorse was my inspiration for the pages.

Between the stamp, bling words, and my fab Scarlet Lime Pen I said everything I needed to say.

Scarlet Lime February Main...Loves!

Our month of love is wearing down, but at least we have an extra day this leap year! Just because this month is almost over doesn't mean we can't talk about those things we love everyday. I LOVE the Main Kit this month. It is not my typical color pallet that I usually work with but maybe that is why I enjoyed it so much!

One of my new loves, art journaling...

One of the reasons I am loving my art journal so much is the freedom it allows. I use products I would never use on layouts or cards...modeling paste and fun stamps.

I also can not seem to get enough of the Crafters Workshop Stencils.

If you don't have one the Scarlet Lime Pen it is a must have. I find myself using it on EVERYTHING!

Since we are talking about love, it is one of those things we should share with those we love each day...so my kiddo's will each be getting one of these...just because!

I actually made this cute little box, using the packaging from Scarlet Lime Bead Art. I love the watches and the cute little boxes they come in a ton!

Scarlet Lime Loves!

It is February, the month of love! So this month the Scarlet Lime design team is sharing with you some of our "loves"!

Of course my true love is my family...Last Thanksgiving Day we ran a 5K together as a family! What a great time!

I love the beach...it just makes me happy! I took this photo on the beach at the Grand Floridian...my favorite resort. Every time we go to Disney this is where we stay...another LOVE!

I love Scrapbooking...this is where I create...

I love being a Soccer Mom...cheering my kids on during their activities brings me great pride. I love that I know their friends and have made the best of friends for myself through their sports and academic clubs!

My girl Lucy passed recently but I could not do a "love" list without including her...

And lastly what self respecting soccer mom doesn't love David Beckham...LOL!

Be sure to dive in an make your own list of loves! It's a great way to come up with creative ideas and an awesome jumping start for scrapbooking layouts! XOXO

A New Want2Scrap Layout!

I have not done much "scrapping" for the last several months, life has gotten in the way. My kids are older and I spend tons of time running them around and watching them in their events. I would not change that for the world...but I have really missed scrapping lately and decided to scrap a "pretty" layout using lots of Want2Scrap™ goodies. Nothing like these little pretties to get you inspired...

If you have not seen their new Rose Ribbons you really must, they come in just about every color and size. I just love this pink one.

In my opinion "you can have too much bling"! I used the both the Nestabling Pink Circle Rhinestones and the Nestabling Silver Circle Rhinestones. I topped that off with the gorgous Heart Rhinestone Ribbon Slide...gorgeous!

Another fun product to check out are the butterfly embellishments, so dang cute. This Orange Butterfly really highlighted the photo of my lotus flower bringing out the center color. Of course I can not do a layout without some sort of pearls and the Coral Pearls - 72 Count were the perfect center of my die cut butterflies.

Mimi Leinbach: What's my style Scarlet Lime projects!

Welcome all! I hope you have had a great time following along with all the gals style project over at Scarlet Lime, I know I have.

I jumped into this months kits full force and wanted to share them with you. First off a layout of my boys with the main kit!

This kit seriously suited my style with all these gorgeous colors and fantastic papers.

I definitely have a tendency to type my journaling and this layout is no different.

Now despite the fact that I consider myself a layout girl. The rest of my project this month are not layouts but altered projects. I guess that may be my new style...I created this tag for my gorgeous niece, Sam!

I love using inks on things now, so gorgeous. Don't you just love the sparkle.

Now the Frugal Kit is so eye catching you just can miss it! I recently lost my beloved pet, Lucy so I created this frame from the fun packaging the chipboard shapes came in. I pulled out this picture of her, it is one of my favorites!

I miss her so...

I also decided to make a fun tag.

Talk about a POP of color...makes me ready for spring on this cold and snowy day!

I used a ton of things from the store in this months projects. Check out the Unity Stamps, Liquitex Liquid Stamps, Spray Inks, Claudine Hellmuth Paints, Modeling Paste and Gesso, and last but not least Kaiser Craft Rub-ons.
