Hello All! As some of you may already know, I have regrettably resigned from MB's Treasurista. Sadly, I just have too much on my plate at the moment to fulfill all my DT requirements. It was an absolute blast while it lasted and I made some amazing crafty friends that I will keep forever in my heart.|
I thank Misty for her kindness and generosity and allowing me to be apart of the family. Big hugs!

Welcome to the MB's Treasurista Spring In Bloom Challenge! This month's challenge is a fun one to me. It gave me lots of opportunity to play with my MBT acrylic flowers, butterflies, and mulberry flowers. I love the Spring time... it's such a refreshing part of the year. Birds chipping, the snow's gone and grass is growing, flowers blooming. Beautiful!
If you've just stumbled upon my website, welcome! But if you'd like to know more detail, head on over to the MBT blog and read the details. Also, be sure to check out all the other ladies' blogs for inspiration and see what they've made. You'll find the list of ladies below.
Hi Ladies, Today I wanted to share my DT project for MB's Treasurista. I really worked outta my element and hope you like what I've created! I went for a colour scheme that I don't use too often and rolled with it. I took raw chipboard and corrugated cardboard and created a photo frame from scratch. I distressed the cardboard and distress inked all of the edges with Walnut Stain.
Then, I adorned the front with a ton of goodies from the shop. I concentrated the "spray" of embellishments to the upper right and bottom left corners of the frame.
This month's blog hop is a super de-dooper special one. It's for Mother's Day! I am very blessed to have my momma and my Nonna (grandma in Italian) in my life. We are all super close and I couldn't imagine my life without them. OK.. I'm going to stop being sappy and get down to business! LOL!
If you've just stumbled upon my blog and you'd like to start from the beginning, start with Misty, our hostess with the mostest! Below you'll find the line up of all the bloggers just in case you get lost along the way.

Hope you all had a wonderful Easter weekend! I wanted to share a project I created for MB's Treasurista. I created this entire 4x4 box from scratch using chipboard and decorated it using lots of trim and embellishments from the MBT shop. The feel of this project is vintage and has such a warm feeling to it. I just love the way it turned out!
For the cards on the inside, I left them very generic so that they could be used for any occasion. Score! The recipient of this box will be able to use the cards for whatever reason, and, for the most part, with the colours I used, the cards could be given to either males or females. Love that! I am also loving how cute and compact they are. They measure 3 3/4 x 3 3/4. Cute!
Here's my project:
Here's what I used from the awesome MBT: 6x6 Glitz Paper Pack- French Kiss
Welcome everyone
to the MB's Treasurista Teach Me Tuesday! This Tuesday, I'll be showing you how to
create a Satin Ruffle Trim embellishment. Super easy and quick to create with only a few supplies.
Here's what you'll need:
1. 2 x 12'' pieces of ruffled satin trim.
2. 1 piece of 12'' x 1/2'' piece of chipboard.
3. 12'' of decorative trim.
Here's how to make it:
1. With your glue gun, glue down your satin ruffled trim to one side of your chipboard. I chose to make my pieces 12 inches long but you don't have to. If you wanted to use this for a card, just cut it all shorter.
2. With your glue gun again, take your second piece of satin ruffled trim and glue it right beside your first piece of trim. Your pieces of trim should be butted up as close together as you can. You don't want any large visible gaps.
3. Trim your edges. Then take your lighter and lightly melt your edges. This will secure your fabric and will keep your fabric edges from fraying.
4. Next, take your decorative trim and glue it down onto your seam. Do not add too much glue. You'll want it to be secure but not have glue seeping out of the edges.
Voila! you're done! Try this technique with laces and other trims for a completely different look!
Also, here are the links of the items I used to create these beautiful embellishments:
Ivory Satin Trim 7/8''
Black Ruffle Satin Trim
Flower Trim with Rhinestone Center in Lt. Pink
Mini Pearl Flower Trim in Lavender
Thanks for stopping by! Have fun and try this for yourself!

Hey Everyone! Welcome to the MB's Treasurista
Sneak Peek Sunday! A sneak peek into the newly available product from MBT. The
design team has prepared some inspirational pieces to show you some of the new
items in action. I hope you enjoy!
For my project, I have created a frilly French Kiss Tag. Lots of frills and satin trim and those oh so lovely porcelain rosesin light blue and ivory. My new love! The paper stack I used was the Glitz French Kiss. Love this paper line... it's so Parisian in design and totally "made" the tag. This was lots of fun to create and the new items
made it super simple to decorate. On the back, I used a super adorable glassine bag that fit my "business" card perfectly. This is shown in the video :)
Please be sure to check out the other
ladies creations. You'll find all the info on the MB's Treasurista Blog.

Hey Friends!I hope you've all been well! I have been sick as a dog and still am. It's been almost 2 months now and even with 2 rounds of antibiotics, I'm still not well... I'm tired of being sick and want to be healthy already! LOL! Anywho... the show must go on! For my March DT project for MB's Treasurista I created an altered clothes pin. Super fun! I loved making this. I've never altered one before but have had this in my stash for months. Finally I got to play and the great part about altering it... I got to use all of the new MBT goodies! Enjoy!!!
