2 Peas in a Pod- MME
I just got back a box full of My Mind’s Eye layouts from CHA.
As I was sorting through them, this one brought a big grin to my face.
And I realized I never shared it here!
One day Sadie and I were bored, so we started playing around with my iPhone.
When I saw the results I cracked up. Guess I know where she gets her facial expressions. HA!
This layout uses papers and embellishments from the Collectable-Notable line.
It’s the happiest collection of colors and patterns and I adore it.
I backed each strip with patterned paper and then put washi tape on the left and right borders of the photo mat (the arrow strips are tape).
A scattering of chipboard flowers, enamel dots, and stick pins complete the easy and quick layout.
For those of you wondering how I did the photobooth strips, I used the Incredibooth App (which I LOVE).
Happy Monday y’all!

She She and Cake
I have a layout to share today and a a story to go along with it!
First…I did this layout for the MME blog, it’s a lift of Tamara Tripodi’s awesome page you can see here.
Thanks so much for inspiring me, Tamara!
Here’s the layout:

The story:
For the story on the design elements, etc…you can see the details on the MME blog.
I wanted to tell the story behind the page. Cate and Lucy are SO funny right now.
They laugh at each other, hug and kiss each other, and beat the you know what out of each other. I wish I was kidding on that last one, but I’m not. I’m talking “2 stooges” here. Face slapping, hair pulling, eye poking. Good times.
Moving on.
They call each other “She She”- Lucy and “Cake”-Cate. And I love it SO MUCH I can hardly stand it.
I don’t ever want to forget it.
Funny story. Jimmy told me that the other night they were both in their high chairs (quite some distance apart) and Cate started biting her hand…
Sidenote: They are in that “I am two” phase where if you tell them “No” they get so frustrated that they are beside themselves and don’t know what to do. They get so frenzied that sometimes they go “ARRRRR” and bite their own hands. HAHAHAH!
I know how that feels…don’t you? I might try it, hehehe.
Back to the story.
So “Cake” starts biting her own hand and “She She” starts screaming “Cake NO, no bite!” “OUCH!” and holding her own hand and crying. Bahahaha. Twin empathy?
They are nuts, y’all. NUTS.
Okay, that’s it for today. Hope you enjoyed the long rambly story and the layout. 🙂

i’m up on the mme blog today with a new layout. for a supply list and a photo of the amazing emily spahn layout i lifted to make this layout, head on over. 🙂
h and s have started playing together SO much more, i wanted to make a page about it. this photo is from a birthday party they were at this weekend, they are watching/cheering for some kids that were running in a race.
i have to tell you again (and again,and again,and again) how much i love mme enamel dots and sequins. i am NOT a mist kind of gal. never have been, most likely never will be. i kept trying (because everyone else seems to love mist) but i never enjoyed using it.
that’s why enamel dots are the perfect thing for me. they kind of look like splatters. but they aren’t messy and it isn’t hard to use them. i love sequins for the same reason.
thank you so much for stopping by today. i want to take a second to tell all of you thank you so much for your kind and encouraging comments on my last post. i adore you all. 🙂
happy monday,y’all!

The Sweetest Thing
Okay, that wasn't much of a blog break. But Jimmy is back at work today (yeah,yeah,yeah) and I am SO dang excited to share this new MME collection with y'all.
I don't combine "business" with "pleasure" very often here. I haven't talked about MME much. But to be fair, this job is my business AND my pleasure. I love MME so much and I have for years. As a crafter I have just been a fan…plain and simple
My favorite collection has always been Stella and Rose. But this new line blows that one out of the water, and I officially (truly) have a new favorite.
So please go check it out and enter for a chance to win…y'all don't want to miss out on this!
xoxo
