A Couple of Coffee TN Spreads for KCS Designs by Kim

 Hello, my friends!

I have another fun new coffee project using products from
KCS Designs by Kim!

This time I have made two simple TN spreads.
I really love the Mixed Media Papers from Kim's shop.
They're fabulous fun, and available in many colour variations.

These pages aren't meant to go with each other
...they were made separate but it works, right?

These images are so much fun to play with,
and they go beautifully with so many of the Coffee Flair sentiments.

Here's another one:

I'm working on some fun Christmas projects for Kim,
but I have more coffee projects coming soon!

Vintage Valentine TN Page

   Hello, my friends!

It's time for another fun project for Kate Crafts!

I have been busy working on a fun Winter Themed Journal
but I took a break from that to create this fun vintage spread.

Kate has so many fun and fabulous digital collections in her etsy shop!
To make my page, I combined bits from quite a few different collections.
I'll break it all down and give you the links as I go. :o)

Here's my page:

I really enjoy making these spreads in my TN!
It's such a fun size to work with.

I began by choosing my background paper from Floral Papers.
I then found a Vintage Valentine Washi that worked across the top of the page.
I found a lace from my stash, and added that to the bottom.
All the bits and pieces I used were distressed with both a tool and ink.

The "Happy Valentine's Day" and "so blessed" came from Valentine Quotes.

I added a postcard from Vintage Postcards.

The lovely card on top of it, with the pretty rosebud, came from Frozen Flowers Ephemera.

On this side, I added this lovely photo from Old Photos Christmas.

I thought it was the perfect Valentine photo,

as they are staring adoringly into each other's eyes! 
I simply cut the Christmas tree out of the background! ;o)
The great quote came from Valentine Quotes 2.

I then added another strip from Vintage Valentine Washi underneath them.
That way they are grounded, and not appearing to float on the page.

This "I love your smile" is another one from Valentine Quotes,

and works perfectly with the Maya Angelou quote.

Finally, I added a variety of pretty pearls around the page.

It is so much fun to play with digital bits and pieces,

and combine them into a themed project! 

The creative possibilities are endless!

This means that we are to include a photo of ourselves,
and a list of five favorite things.

I decided to have a little fun with this one.
Many of you have seen my real photo,
and most of you have probably seen my facebook photo. 
I enjoy using this photo for many different reasons.
For this prompt, I decided to use my facebook photo,
and list my five favorite things as that character.
I even changed my hand-writing! lol

Here is my TN page this month:

The photo is black and white,

so I kept everything monochromatic except for the flair.

The flair I used is called Terrazzo, and you can find it HERE.

These flair worked well with the "theme" of my page;
they look old and rather rock like! ;o)

As for the list of five favorite things...
some are "hers" and some are mine!
Can you tell which is which???
