Cosmo Cricket {Evangeline}

Little Miss Kayla. I can’t get enough of this sweet little niece of mine.

She is so darn adorable, I can’t stand it!

Sometimes I wish I could stop her from growing. OK, I wish it almost all of the time.

It’s amazing to me how fast children grow.

Here’s a sneak peek of the Teresa Collins “Sweet Afternoon” class that I designed for Paradise Scrapbook Boutique. Want a closer look? Check it out HERE.

Have a gorgeous day!

Altered Serving Tray

Tuesday, May 15th, 2012

A lovely idea I picked up while playing with Paper at Paradise Scrapbook Boutique

Each of us who attended the National Scrapbook Day crop at PSB received a painted serving tray.

An idea PSB picked up from the lovely Altered Vintage Serving Tray created by Donna and posted on the Cosmo Cricket Blog.

There, at PSB, they had a beautiful sample for us to use to create our own version of the serving tray.

I ended up making a couple to give as mother’s day gifts.

On the first tray, I used the lovely Evangeline line from Cosmo Cricket.

They were surprisingly easy to make (considering that the lovely ladies at PSB had already painted the trays).

For the second tray, I used the new Nature Garden Collections from Prima, along with a little Pink Paislee.

I love, love, love the new ivory organza rose trim from Maya Roads.

And everything looks better with a few Prima flowers, don’t you think?

Now, I just need to find some more vintage serving trays, they make fabulous gifts, don’t you think?

Here’s a look at the original tray created by Donna:

Isn’t it lovely?

Check out Donna’s tray HERE on the Cosmo Cricket blog. And see PSB‘s version of Donna’s tray HERE.

Have a wonderful day!
