First Post

So full confession.....I had a blog YEARS ago....and the poor thing got neglected so poorly that I can't find it anymore. I posted mostly projects I made with my Cricut and gave reviews of classes I had taken. Back the day of Two Peas....those were the days. So I wanted to start fresh with a new blog. My style has greatly evolved since the days of Cricut and I wanted a place to showcase it.

If I had to describe my style now I would say it was clean and creative. I LOVE using sketches and am becoming more comfortable with using Mixed Media on my layouts. Some of my favorite products right now are Color Shine by Heidi Swapp, Enamel Dots, and Ephemera Packs of any kind.

Today for my first post, I'm showcasing a layout I made using the June 2016 Clique Kit (with a few bits from my stash). The Kit this month is based mostly on the Little Moments Collection by Elle's Studio. This was definitely an exciting little moment in our house as this was the third tooth my stepdaughter had lost and so the third time the tooth fairy would be visiting us. She left us $5.00 which we immediately spent at Dollar Tree! :) 




I made the bow on top of the journaling spot using a scrap I had from the Fancy Free Collection by Paige Evans. I have the Bow Die from Studio Calico and use it all the time on my scraps! I used some Navy Heidi Shine for the sprinkles and the wood veneers are from Jillibean Soup and I colored them using a Glitter Marker. This was a lot of fun to put together and the pictures are just too darn cute! Thanks for stopping by today.  You can find more of my projects on Instagram @jllowry81, I also post layouts in the Victoria Marie Facebook Group. If you haven't checked it out its a lot of fun!!
