Hello!  My little girl is a lover of nature and gets super excited at simple things like lady bugs and birds. I decided to document her love of nature, and her first time enjoying nature at night in front of  a bonfire. I used the DCWV Garden Charm stack out at Joann's. I'm loving the variety of floral prints on this stack :)  I've recently set a goal to use up my stash of old pretty things. So I try to use an entire packet of something when possible. Here, I used a packet of old rub-onbs. Yes, the entire pack! I also did a bit of a messy background with paint and a stencil. I layered prints from the stack, vellum, a book page (sprayed with mist), and a doily behind the photo.  The kraft pages in this stack are perfect for fun, busy backgrounds or even mixed media! 

When I found my stash of Dear Lizzy from 2012, I decided I really needed to use up my older supplies.  I made this for Shimelle's NSD challenge to make a layout with a messy background.  This was about the time the little one started kicking and laughing a lot. What older supplies have you been using lately? 

A little Reminder about the May Stack-a-holic challenge over at the DCWV blog :)  This is my take on the challenge.   This is my girl's face when we put glasses on her :)  This is my card. These are really great sketches to work with! Give it a try!

Hey everyone!  We went to the County Fair last summer and they had little thrones and props set up in the children's area. We just had to try snapping a photo of our little queen. It was a little tricky to keep her still long enough but we managed! I've had this photo for a while but didn't know which papers to use. I'm glad I waited because the DCWV Scripts and Music Notes Stack worked perfectly! I had a lot of fun layering different pieces from the stack along with other embellishments. She's definitely the Queen Bee at our house!  Who's the queen bee at your house? I hope you're all having a really fun Cinco de Mayo!
