12×12 Family Layout…
One of my 2012 goals is to create more 12×12 layouts throughout the year. This is my first one and my goal is to create 51 more. Hope you like seeing it.
My journaling is handwritten and is tucked behind the picture of my kiddos. Basically, the story behind the title “Dream Come True” is in reference to the dreaming that a little girl often does about their future family and how the family that God has given me far surpasses any dreams that I could have hoped to have. I never dreamed of the unconditional love and the feeling of security and pride that I could feel as a wife and mother and that they are way beyond a “Dream come true” for me. You know…mushy stuff like that, that’s why it’s hidden. teehee

I’ve been playing around with my Teresa Collins “Posh” paper collection that I’ve had sitting around for several months. I’m not sure why I didn’t want to cut into it, but just the other day I decided to create a tag using it.
Here’s what I came up with…
I used the Tim Holtz Tag and Bookplates Sizzix die to cut out the tag shape. I upcycled a cereal box and added the patterned paper to the front and back of the tag.
Isn’t that butterfly puffy? It was just a black shape on the paper and I added Glossy Accents to it. While it was unset, I sprinkled Martha Stewart extra fine glitter onto it and I love the effect. It was something new that I thought of and it adds a nice dimension to the tag.
The flowers, lace and red bow came from Wild Orchid Crafts. The black bling is by Prima and the pink pleated ribbon is from a RAK that I received. I added some Martha Stewart glitter glue to the tips of the flower petals to bling it up a bit. The feather and doily came from Michaels and the ‘Thank you’ charm came from Joanns.
I had a lot of fun creating this tag; I made it for a friend and I hope she likes it.
I’ve also been working on a Valentine’s Day mini album and thought I’d share a sneak peek with you of the cover…
Lots of yummy WOC flowers on there. The center image is a Crafty Secrets Heartwarming Vintage Cuts sheet. (I love those things!)
Thanks for stopping by today. Hope you’re having a great weekend. xx

Le Romantique Tag…
Happy Saturday! I did a bit of creating today so I thought I would share with you the tag that I made for a friend…
This is the #8-sized shipping tag die that is by Tim Holtz. It mades a really nice size for altering and doing whatever you’d like to it.
These gorgeous flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts as well as the butterfly and the faux rhinestone ribbon slider.
The papers are from the Le Romantique range by Graphic 45. One of my favorite paper collections of all time! Each of the pages are so pretty.
I die cut the butterfly using the Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Sizzix die using fabric from SaCrafter’s store on Zibbet (I don’t have the link, but just as you would with etsy, you can type in her store name with Zibbet.
Hope you like it, and if you would like to see me creating this tag, you can check out the 10+ minute YouTube video below, or go directly to my YouTube channel HERE.
If you have any questions or comments please feel free, otherwise thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend. xx

Valentine’s Day Swap Cards
Well, I started the year off right and joined in on the monthly card swap over at thescrapbeach.ning.com. =) Well, I’ve actually been participating in this swap for several months now but hope to continue to do so throughout 2012. I signed up for 2 ‘slots’; which I was to make 6 cards for each. The theme was Valentine’s Day. Here are the cards that I came up with…
The phrase came from the Every Day Phrases sheet from I Brake for Stamps. It is fast becoming my new favorite stamp set as it’s so versatile.
Here is the inside of the card…
The inside sentiment came from long-time favorite set called Inspirational Phrases (this set is my go-to stamp sheet-I love it!) The butterflies came from the Butterfly Kisses set.
This second card is my favorite… (I’ve enclosed a video tutorial below)
The outside sentiment also came from the Every Day Phrases sheet. Lastly, here is the inside of the card; which uses the Happy Valentine’s Day Bold stamp. You can click on the names to see the whole sheet of each set. Also, if you would like or order any of them please feel free to use my personal discount code: SAVE10ROBYN Enjoy!
Thanks for popping in today. I always appreciate it! Have a great day! xx
