Welcome back my friends, and thank you for sharing a part of your Saturday with me. I have been collecting some really fun projects to share with you. I hope today will be another inspirational day for you and that you can take time this weekend to create some wonderful projects of your own. So sit back, relax, and enjoy!
Dare To Dream By Riikka Kovasin
Today I have a fabulous layout to share that was created by Riikka Kovasin. She took inspiration from arrows and a dream catcher. I love this layout! Can’t you just see a photo of your dad, husband, son, or even a grandson on this layout? Perfect for Father’s Day!
When creating a layout, the photo itself is the major guide to your process. Have you ever noticed that when using a photo that is black and white, or with very little color, that it really emphasizes the faces in the photo? I love the outstanding job that Riikka did on this layout and it really tells a story! Click here and I will take you over Elizabeth Crafts and Designs where you will find a full step-by-step tutorial on how Riikka put this layout together. Be sure and check out her blog Paperiliitin where you are sure to be inspired by Riikka’s outstanding projects.
Thank You By Melody Rupple
Today’s card is a perfect way to say thank you. I just love how Melody incorporated some of today’s trends of watercoloring, ink blending, and stamping. This card really pulls out all the charm of a shaker card. Simple add some different elements to create your own personal shaker card. Wouldn’t you love to be the one to receive this adorable card?
I instantly fell in love with this adorable card. Since shaker cards are quite the trend now, be sure and pop on over to Pretty Pink Posh where you will find all kinds of elements to add to your card. Melody really did a fabulous job creating this darling card. The fun spring colors make it such a ray of sunshine! Come with me and I will take you on over to A Paper Melody where you will see all the different products that Melody used. Remember to step outside your traditional style. Look at your project in a different way, and try something new. Have fun creating!
Upcycled Drawer By Christy K. James
What a creative storage solution for your silverware! Instead of being in a drawer and taking up valuable drawer space, create a new silverware organizer. I am sure you can find access to an old dresser drawer at a thrift store, a garage sale, or maybe a dresser you want to get rid of. If you are anything like me and love mason jars, this is just one more way of using them and showing them off.
I just love the way that Christy painted and distressed this old drawer to make it look vintage. How adorable to sit on a hutch and use as a decor piece for your kitchen. Are you as excited about this as I am? Let’s get started and find that old drawer to start recycling it into a storage unit! Come with me on over to Confessions Of A Serial Do It Yourselfer where you will see a step-by-step tutorial on how Christy created her drawer. There is nothing more fun than to create and transform an old object into something beautiful and functional. Hope this has inspired you as much as it did myself. I can hardly wait to jump in and make one of these for my kitchen!
Key Lime Cheesecake Jaclyn Bell
This thick and creamy key lime cheesecake is the perfect combination of sweet and tart! You know it is a perfect dessert when it gets a lot of requests to be made. This recipe is not only delicious, it is also so beautiful, and is a WOW to anyone who has a slice!
We all need to treat ourselves once in awhile, and this is definitely the perfect bright summery cheesecake to make for any of your summer celebrations. You will be the hit of your summer gatherings. Click here and I will take you over to Cooking Classy where you will be able to write down the recipe and ingredients. I promise you that this will be your all time favorite cheesecake! As a lover of cheesecake in all it’s flavors and forms, this key lime cheesecake has completely stolen my heart!
As always, I appreciate being able to spend some time with you today. I hope you have been inspired by today’s post and that you have a wonderful week ahead of you. Enjoy this beautiful weather and I will see you back next Saturday!
Hugs to all,
LeAnn
