Some Simple Life inspiration

It's really 5 days til Christmas. Wow December really has flown by. I have to admit all the hustle and bustle of the shopping season tends to stress me out a bit. I mean have you sat in LA traffic before? Some of you can totally identify with me here I know.

So let's relax and enjoy some Simple Life inspiration from a few of our designers. First a fun project from Pattie

She made this adorable altered mirror

a close up of the tractor

Pattie also created these cute cards

Love these handmade flowers!

Next we have some amazing creations by Kathleen, I really love this first layout

the paint over the pattern paper produced a stunning effect. The twine adds a whimsical feel to this fun layout.

A day at the Farm is another fun 3 dimensional layout. So much detail here.

And finally we leave you with these adorable cards...are they just amazing! I really love the style and added felt embellies.

How about a slice of Simple Life?

Hello Friday! This week sure has flown by that's for sure. I am sure we are all busy getting ready for Halloween on Sunday so I thought we'd slow down for a minute today and enjoy a little Simple Life.

First we have a few layouts from Cindy

This is the cutest and I love the craft paper with the yellow!

Here's a fabulous layout from Debbie with an out of the box stitching technique!

Next Debbie created this amazing card with matching gift box. What a sweet treat to give someone special! Here's the outside.

And the card fits inside laying down

And then you POP it up! How cute is this!

And finally some cute cards from Tracy

We hope you enjoyed today's inspiration with our Simple Life collection! We hope you have a Spooktacular Weekend!

It's all about cards today

Did you celebrate World Card Making Day this past weekend? What I love most about card making is that I get to use up all of My Little Shoebox scraps so none of my papers or embellishments get wasted or forgotten.

Our design team has created some pretty amazing cards with our latest collections. Hopefully these cards will inspire you to get out your scraps and create a few cards too!
