Team Tuesday: A Happy April Iphone Background

Rhonna has come up with so many awesome Instafonts to use for your instagrams in the Phonto app, and today I wanted to share a little iphone background I created using her Instapattern font all on my iphone.

Tutorial Time:

1) I started with my PhotoForge2 App and opened an old frame image I designed that was saved in my Camera Roll on my phone.

2) I added another blank layer and filled in with the Electric Lilac background color.

3) I saved the Electric Lilac background into my Camera Roll.

4) Next I opened the Electric Lilac background in my Phonto App and added the Instapattern Chevron white and sized it to fil.

5) Then, I added the "April" in navy using Carolyna Pro Font that I've loaded into Phonto.

6) I saved the image into my Camera Roll, then selected the image and set as Wall Paper.

And that's it! Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy! Now you can go forth and create endless Iphone Wallpapers using just your phone, some easy little apps, and the Rhonna Designs Insta Fonts!

Creative Team Tuesday: A Procrastinator's Prayers Answered

So, the twins are turning three on the 11th & 12th of this month. They decided on a Ballerina Party, and I noticed that Sunday was two weeks before the date of their party. AHHHHHHH!!!! I obviously don't have invites out. Or a design. Or anything.

I suck.

But, wait! Rhonna Designs to the rescue!

I remembered Rhonna's Party Pack Kit and loved the palette for a modern ballerina party!

Here is the fabulous digital invite I used on the Facebook Event since I wanted to let people know about it asap. I've ordered the paper invites from Persnickety Prints for those family members that don't have Facebook.

It's going to be a simple little family party since March is a crazy busy month for us, but it will be filled with the twins most favorite things: tutus, ballet slippers, and sugar. What else could a three year old ask for?

Team Tuesday: Creative Calendars

Sooo.....obviously I never got around to sending out Holiday Cards. I suck.

Instead, I came up with this great idea to design some quick and easy calendars to send out now that it's January. If you missed the boat, and want to make up for December, here's a great, creative way to kick off 2013.

I used Rhonna Designs InstaGoals kit, mixed with Paislee Press 2013 Calendar kit and designed these fun little calendars people can stick on their fridge or desk. Perfect little gift for teachers, neighbors, anyone really.

Valentines with Rhonna Designs & Free Heart InstaFrames

So many exciting things going on over at Rhonna Designs for Valentines Day, and if you are in Utah, you are the luckiest person ever because Rhonna herself is teaching a FABULOUS Chalk Art Workshop on Thursday at Dear Lizzy. Maybe I can fly in just for the class?

Sadly, I don't think I'll be able to fly in BUT Rhonna has put TEN amazing Chalkboard Cheer art designs up on the Rhonna Designs site, and now I have to figure out how I want to display them in my house <3

On the Rhonna Designs blog today there are some adorable Valentines Decor Ideas from Nancy & Melissa - visit their blogs to get all the details on these Love Day Projects. 

My favorite Valentines designs right now are in the InstaKiss kit; I've been using them in all my Instas

The InstaKiss designs go perfectly with my Heart InstaFrames I designed just for Love Day. You can download the Heart InstFrames here, and use them in endless combinations with Rhonna's Insta Kits!

Uh, what happened to November?

Basically I fell off the face of the earth. My sister got married. Thanksgiving happened. My photography business has exploded and I've been utterly consumed with family portraits and holiday card designing and marketing for 2013. Plus, my kids and home and husband have been taking up a little of my time too. Oh, and my mom had her 50th birthday. So that's basically what's been going on with me. There's a whole lot of other stuff too, but right now it's 1:24 am and I can't sleep because I had 3 cups of coffee yesterday plus a cup of tea plus a Dr. Pepper. Not a good combination. But, I'm glad to be back blogging again, it feels like coming home.

Since it's officially Tuesday, let's see what Rhonna has been up to, eh?

As you can see, I've finally changed up my blog header from Halloween using all her gorgeous holiday kits for this year. I switched it up a little for my Facebook header.

And, I'm super excited because I'm officially starting a December Daily album this year! What what! My Snap Album from Two Peas came in yesterday and I am in. love.

I designed some cute "Project Life" style inserts for the page protectors and ordered them from Persnickety earlier tonight. I can't wait until they get in so I can start putting the album together. Between my Rhonna Designs kits and my Instagram photos I'm using, this album is going to be spectacular. Here are some of the kits I used in designing the album:

Happy Birthday Rhonna!

It's a fabulous Team Tuesday from Rhonna Designs today! Just look what she has in store for everyone on her super happy fun birthday:

How much do you love this Spooky Typography Halloween printable? I can't wait to order it from Persnickety Prints, along with some of my most favorite Halloween photos of my kids I took last week. 

And look what else Rhonna has as a gift, just for today for her newsletter subscribers: a new Insta Fun Kit! I'm obsessed with all the Insta kits, and this one is just as fantastic as the others. I love how versatile all the designs are.

Be sure you sign up for the newsletter on the Rhonna Designs website to get the inside scoop on all the new kits she releases and special offers & freebies. 

And last but not least, here is my first Halloween entry- Neighborhood Boos! Handing out Boos is my favorite Halloween tradition to do with my kids. We all venture out at night in the dark and leave little presents on two neighbors doorsteps, then ring the doorbell and run and hide. It's always hilarious to do with the littles; they can never keep quiet ;) Then your neighbors spread the Halloween cheer and pick two more neighbors to BOO! It's so much fun; start it in your neighborhood this year!

New Rhonna Designs Spooky Kits Released!

It's finally that time of year! We busted out the Halloween boxes from the attic yesterday and started sprinkling Spooky Dust all over the house to get in the Halloween spirit! Every year I push the date back a little farther- this year was September 16th, next year I'm thinking right after September 11th. That way I can keep up Patriotic decorations until we strip down and go right to Halloween! 

And what's super fabulous about it, is that Rhonna released her new Spooky line last week- just look and drool over all the gorgeous new designs.
