The fun news:
I was very surprised and happy to be asked to be the Guest Garden Girl over at Two Peas this month. When I got the email, I really thought they had sent it to the wrong person. But, I decided not to ask if they had made a mistake and jumped at the chance! :) The theme for this month is patterned paper. I LOVE to work with patterned paper, so I had an easy time working on my projects.
(You can click on the project title links to see more photos and close-ups of the projects over at Two Peas.)
For this it's a good life card, I enhanced the polka dots in the paper with hand stitching. I also cut out the tree and popped it up with foam adhesive for an embellishment with added dimension.
For this oh happy day gift wrap project, I covered a small box with patterned paper and used strips of patterned paper to make the bow. I really loved the way it turned out. A little time consuming, but still very easy to make.
For this to grandmother's house we go mini album, I had a lot of fun mixing and matching patterned paper for the cover, but kept the inside simple to put more focus on the photos.
For this sweet layout, I used colorful strips to frame the photo of my youngest daughter. I love the punch of color and pattern against the more neutral background.
I will have some more GGG projects to share after the 15th, so I will make sure to post them here too.

The not-so-fun news:
On a bit of a sad note, (I hope you don't mind me sharing) we recently lost one of our beloved pets... our sweet boy, Razzy. He was a big part of our family, and we all have had a hard time with losing him. This is the first real loss that my kids have had to go through, so it has been a little rough. We will always miss him.

I appreciate you letting me share (the good news and the bad). Thanks so much for stopping by. Hugs!

Roree, as always I know that when I bip into your blog I am going to see dazzling things... Love your work. I am so so sorry about your sad loss of Razzy. My dog Heidi is my companion and I love her dearly. Sweet Razzy is in Rainbow's End romping and playing.
Just remember that pets become part of the immediate family, so you have to grieve them also. I lost 2 of my precious dogs last year and someone told me "All Dogs go to Heaven".
Congrats on your guest spot! All your projects are just amazing, this is definitely the place to go when in need of inspiration!
Sorry about your dog, he lookes really sweet.
Oh Roree, I'm truly sorry about the loss of your precious Razzy. It is unbearably sad to have say goodbye to such good friends.
Your creations are stunning as always. I really love the LO with the strips of paper.
Congratulations on your GGG spot.
Thinking of you and your family during this tough time. So sorry to hear of your loss.
So sad, wish they could live forever. sorry for your loss.
I love your work and your creativity. hope you will pop over to my blog some time. Will send you an email with my blog address
