cReative team Tuesday...more inspiRation

You know my mantra: 'uplift and inspire'....my whole site, creative team, design ethic & aesthetic style is all about that: if it uplifts and inspires.....I'm all over it.  Each Creative Team Tuesday does this for me...uplifts me. inspires me. & makes me want to create...right away!

Check out what my Creative Team has brought to you today...I love it!

Nancy has been working on Project Life & incorporating Rhonna Designs in each page... I seriously look forward to her tweets, blogging & Instagram about her process...I'm loving it!

What's fun, is she used my Follow Your Heart products with My Mind's Eye....& then, you can also use the digital Kits in conjunction with them... (*ppsst... be watching...this week, I'll be adding MORE coordinating digital kits to the site! holla!)

And look at this gorgeous card...in LOVE!

Cutest little thing ever...don't you think?

Ok...Jamie is amazing here....look at this shadow box she created? She's even got a tutorial on her blog...so run on over...so inspiring I can't even stand it!

Love the textures, butterflies & bling...oh my...I want to create NOW! Thanks, Jamie, for being soo inspiring to all of us!

And, I LOVE what Susan has done here...she had a birthday party with a bunch of young teens...and LOOK how she used Rhonna Designs to uplift and inspire them! I am in LOVE with this quote, but the fact that all of these girls have this to look at & be inspired makes me so happy. 

This banner just makes me smile...what a great way to  use the Monogram Junque kit...so versatile. so pretty!

She also created this gorgeous layout....I love what she says: 

Your art always matches my photography and how I am feeling and the thoughts that I want to convey from my heart so magically! It is a pleasure to design with them. 

You can feel it, huh? I just love this....

So...hoping you are feeling it, too...uplifted and inspired by these amazing Creative Team artists...i know I am...can't wait to share the NEW Releases this week....hoping it's soon. I'll be sure to send out our newsletter & post about it on Facebook & Twitter! Hugs to all...Happy Tuesday!

Eye candy & inspiRation...

New week. New goals. New projects. New inspiration. I LIVE for inspiration trips & have been loving what I've been inspired with lately....thought I'd share!

DIY Valentine cRaft ideas

I am sick in bed. I've pinned & surfed &....well...I'm not in a position to get the rest of my photos in place for the last of the 14 Valentine ideas series. so sorry...but, I did have an idea. (and of course it came through my 100 Creativity Exercises that I still do, even when I'm sick) & that is: Look at something differently. Turn it upside down, sideways, backwards. Figure it out...creatively.

so...I give you my vintage Valentine ideas from last year & a couple of years ago...I still love these ideas...so, let' get to idea no. 9: Valentine in a bottle. Goes right in hand with yesterday's Fresh Living segment.

When I was at the studio, the guests the day before were April & Lindsay from The Sweet Life...perfect! Because this project was in their magazine last year! LOL! 

So...run on over to my vintage ideas & there's a DIY HERE so you can make this, too!

idea no. 10: Napkin Flowers

Just like last year, my husband & I are putting on a Valentine Dance for 1000+ college students.

tomorrow night.

yea, I need to get better, huh?

And, I've got all of these fabuloh-so napkin flowers to adorn the tables & decor! Again...here's a DIY How-to so you can create these too!

idea no. 11: Heart Candy Boxes

This polka dot heart box, from 2010, is a fun one...even if you don't have a heart box, you can make your own or use any kind of box...the fun thing about this project is adding the polka dots to the box with circle labels....so easy & cute!

idea no. 12: Coffee Filter Heart

Creating coffee filter fluffs is super easy...in this video tutorial, I show you how to create the fluff flowers...but, then in THIS video tutorial, I show you how to put them in a heart shaped box. But, remember, you can just cut out a heart from a cardboard box & put the cute fluffs all over. Super easy!

idea no. 13: Rolled Fabric Flowers

This is still one of my fave things...printing out Rhonna Designs onto printable silks, satins, or broadcloth & creating these fabric flowers as shown in the video DIY Tutorial HERE.

and...lastly, but not least: idea no. 14: Singed Satin Flower Gifts

I did a bunch of these DIY tutorials a couple of years ago...& I still love them. Learn how to create them yourself here:

Singed Ruffle Flower

Singed Flowers are shown in this web show I did....look towards the end of the video. 

And...get some more info HERE with a step by step tutorial. with tips & tricks & my FREE download template HERE>
