Saturdays With LeAnn

Welcome back!  I hope you have had a fabulous week!  I have collected another batch of lovely projects for your crafting inspiration, and I hope you will find plenty of time this weekend to enjoy being creative.

Moments Like These By Azzari Jarrett

I have shared several different types of pocket pages over the last few months.  Today I want to share how to create some of your own pocket cards using some of your favorite stamps, rub-ons and embellishments. Head on over to your scrapbook supplies, dig deep, and pull out some of those treasured supplies you have been waiting to use.  This is the project where your products will come in very handy, and you will have a lot of fun working them into your pocket pages.

For you new mommies out there, this is a great way to create your baby album.  You will be able to add your favorite photos, document favorite memories of your child, and add in your journaling.  Pictures tell most of the story but adding cards that complement the photos will complete a darling baby book for your children.  A big thank you goes out to Azzari Jarrett for sharing her beautiful pocket pages with us.

Rain Or Shine By Amy Sheffer

April Showers bring May flowers!  This is a watercolored card you will definitely want to make on a rainy day!  The soft watercolors and heat embossing come together quickly, and you will just love the end results!  Watercolor is such a forgiving medium for backgrounds, especially one that is suppose to look wet and rainy! 🙂

Do It Yourself Hanging Chalkboard By Ashley Turner

Chalkboards are such a fun way to decorate, plus you can infuse a little inspiration to everyone who reads them.  Chalkboards are also a great way of having a to-do list for the family.

Chalkboards have been the craze for a few years and they have all sorts of creative uses in the home.  Using chalkboard paint, chalk ink markers, or just writing with regular chalk will get you started on your own projects. This hanging chalkboard is a perfect project if you are a beginner because the steps are very simple.  Come with me over to Shanty 2 Chic where you will find step-by-step instructions on how to create this fun hanging chalkboard.  Thank you, Ashley, for sharing this fun and simple project with us.
