My love for flowers

I am a big fan of Prima. I love their flowers and paper collection. For me, I don't think a page is complete without Prima anything. I love adding flowers to whatever I'm creating, it add color and a lot of dimensionality to a layout or any project that I'm making.

I love going to Hobby Lobby. They normally sell the flowers at 50% off and I get the ones that are not too big which I can easily glue to a page and add more flowers if I have to.

Do you have a flower addiction like me?

Frou Fro Galore is now open at Old Town Spring. The shop is filled with arts and crafts from different artists. Come visit if you're in the Houston area. Or you can always contact me and I will be more than happy to do a custom page for you.

This is a wedding page I made. I used Pink Paislee Parisian Anthology and Teresa Collins Paper.

Mother Page

This is a masculine page using the Graphic 45 Proper Gentleman Collection.

A simple but fun page for boys

This page I made using Pink Paislee Queen Bee Collection.

A family page, very similar to what I sold on Etsy last year.

Another Mom page. Perfect Mother's Day gift.

My Booth at Frou Frou Galore in Old Town Spring

The past couple of weeks had been so hectic for me, I've been making a lot of layouts which I'm now selling at Frou Frou Galore. If you happen to be in Houston, pls. stop by Old Town Spring. Here is the info I copied from Oldtownspring.com

"Old Town Spring is a quaint turn of the century town composed of shops, restaurants, museums, and art galleries. You will find a variety of antiques, collectibles, clothing and accessories for the home and gifts for all occasions.

Located near the original rail yards built in the early 1900's by the Great Northern Railroad, our Victorian-style shops have character which adds to the nostalgic feeling of having "stepped back in time." Some of our shops occupy buildings constructed in the early 1900's for the then booming railroad town.

The merchants of Old Town Spring literally travel the globe in search of unique and unusual wares for their shops. We are not a mall! Picture, instead, a place to get outside. Enjoy a leisurely meal at one of the many restaurants offering a tempting array of menus. Bring the children. Bring the family, friends, and business associates. Plan to spend the entire day. You and your guests will want to return again and again."

Last weekend my husband and my 2 kids were at the store setting up our space.

This is the outside of the store with Joshua at the front.

This is what looks like inside the store, very spacious.

This is my space. It's not completely done. We still have to make a table to display layouts that can be displayed on easels. I will also have kits and supplies that I would like to add to what I'm selling

Here are my 2 of my 3 kids, Alyssa and Joshua. Joshua was upset because he'd rather play with everything else but to be in the picture.

Come visit us at Frou Frou Galore, so many talented crafters in one place. Ari, who owns the shop is so sweet, if you ever visit Spring, stop by and tell Ari that I sent you so you can get a 15% off any of my items.

New March Challenge

Hello everyone,

I'm sorry it took me a couple of days to announce the February winner for the love challenge. Congratulations to Vemi for winning last month's challenge. Vemi, pls. email me your address at berry71bleu@gmail.com. Again, I'd like to thank Leslie and Annette for joining. You guys are all talented and I appreciate the time you took to join this challenge.

Now for this month challenge: I've put together a kit a couple of months ago. Like I mentioned before, I was going to donate this kit to one of those scrapbook challenge website, but I never heard from them so I decided to make my own. I think it's a good way to share each other's favorite hobby and at least get to win something too.

This kit that I put together is a combination of this and that. The papers are from DCWV Vintage Collage Collection, Webster's Pages vellum and paper, 7 gypsies. A lot of embellishments from Making Memories, buttons, brads, destash jewelries, trims, tags, etc. You can do a lot of layout, card, or alter something with this.

The theme for this challenge will be vintage. You can choose your own title of your layout, card, or any vintage project that you would like to submit as entry. I will accept up to 3 entries again, but this time it's not limited to LO's or cards, any altered vintage project you create is okay to submit.

The rules: I need your submissions emailed to me by 3/31 (berry71bleu@gmail.com). I will post all entries on my blog and Facebook page (you have to be a fan), if you have a blog, pls. email me your blogsite as I will add a link to it. If you have a blog pls, post you entry there as well with a link to my blog, that way, we can have more people joining us...we need a lot of people to join this challenge, so I can continue giving away kits every month. If this is not a success this maybe the last kit that I will give away. I need your full participation in this. Simple rules right? This challenge is open to anyone as long as you submit projects that you actually created yourself. If you have any questions at all, pls. email me.

Thank you, I can't wait to see your wonderful creations!

March 4 giveaway

Thank you for all the lovely comments that I received from all of you. Your comments mean a lot to me and it encourages me to do more and I hope that you will check the giveaways every Friday. Even though I've been busy the past couple of days, I will still have time to hang out with you even for a little bit and we'll have our Fridays for free layouts.

I made this page to be given away on March 4. I love anything vintage, this time I used the kit from Melody Ross Homespun collection. I didn't add a lot of flowers to this layout, just a couple. I added a vintage button and a diecut scissors. I can't find an old pair that I can use for this page, but the charm works well too.

Remember if you want to join, pls. leave me a comment here or the facebook page so I know to include your name in the drawing.

If you want to join the February challenge you still have 'til the 28th of Feb to submit. I have another kit to give away on March. I will give away the kindness kit which I originally wanted to donate, but I didn't get any reply so I will make another challenge in March. I will take more pictures so you have a better idea on what you can win. Pls. join for a chance to win. Since I already have the kit ready I will give it away for a challenge. I will post the details in a few days.

Thanks for being here..
Here's the pictures of what you can win on 3/4

My Webster's Pages Bliss Moment: Being featured in Webster's Pages InspireMe.

I downloaded this layout on WP's InspireMe, a couple of hours later, they e-mailed me saying that I'm one of the featured members this week on their inspireMe website. I am a huge fan of WP, so this is such a nice surprise for me.

Anyway, I made this layout for my husband as a Valetine's Day gift. He's been complaining to me that his new office looked so bare. So on V-day, I made a layout of our 2 kids and attached it to a shadowbox so he can hang it.
The title of this LO is "Bliss", I always want to be reminded that our kids bring such bliss to our lives. I also want to remind my husband that when he's having a bad day at work, he can just look up to their picture and remember that we have a lot to be thankful for. Plus, I love their picture, just caught them laughing over something silly my son, Josh had said, this alone to me is priceless.

See guys soon! Have a good night!
