Scrapmuse released their June Mega Muse "Garden Party"

Here are just two of my Layouts with the kit.

Okay, I think that I am done... for now. If you are interested in changing up your blog check out

http://www.thecutestblogontheblock.com/

and

http://www.shabbyblogs.com/

both sites have awesome blog backgrounds, headers, side bars and such. They also have great tutorials on things like adding a siggy, adding graphics between posts, changing little things to make your blog look better. The instructions are easy to follow..... even through editing the HTML codes.

I would love to hear your input on the new look of my blog.

testing

twisted Sketches

check out http://www.twistedsketches.com/

I just love the sketch below, what an awesome inspiration .

My take on the sketch "tweet Hearts"

I didn't have just the right background page for this LO so I altered one. I started with a sheet of tan grid paper. I colored it with cherry limeade and patina glimmermists, darkened the edges with tea stain distress ink, and then splattered it with thick gesso. I love the results!

this little embellie is a swallow stamp that I stamped on cardboard with stazon ink, and then tore out. I rubbed lime stickles into the bird and gave it a tulle tail, that also has lime stickles rubbed into it

BackYard

Ah. I just love the bright fun colors of summer!
