It's here! It's here! It's really, really here!

Sassafras Lass just introduced their complete line of Indie Girl!  It's amazing and I think I just might have to buy it all!  The muted greens, blues, and yellows give it an old fashioned feel and the patterns remind me of just about every outfit my mother put me in during the 80s.  The best part of this new line are the stickers!  There are die cut borders, glitter alphas, flowers, tags, and doodads galore!  Sassafras Lass, you always deliver and I am forever a loyal fan.

Summer Time! Summer Time! Sum, Sum, Summer Time!

It's officially summer time in our house and I felt like making a page to celebrate.  Yes, I know summer doesn't actually start until the 21st of June, but when the pool comes out - it's summer right? 

For this page, I machine stitched a crazy border on a piece of plain white card stock.  Then, I used pool blue acrylic paint, an old paint brush, and some paper towels to make a smudgy mess up in the corner.  I tore the edges of the pictures to make them just as messy as everything else and then hunted for some embellishments.  I ended up using some Recollections dimensional stickers, Sassafras Lass layered blossoms, Prima flowers with Glimmer Mist, and some random buttons.  I made my own feltie by stitching a big yellow button to some felt circles and then adhered it to a recycled layered blossom.  I also stamped with white acrylic paint on a piece of left over fabric and used it in the corner as my date. 

Overall, this project took about an hour - mostly the sewing and finding just the right embellishments.  That reminds me - I need to clean the scrap room!
