First Days...

Well hey there Thursday! Man this week has been crazy

from rain and flooding and getting stuck in the mud to fun trivia nights!

I still manages to get crafty ad create this page, 

Yes you guessed it, it's digital, I always go back and forth from digi to paper.

I love being able to play with both, and also do the altered crafts. 

Just reminiscing about school days...is winter break here yet? LOL

Fun In The Sun- Sounds About Right!

Tired of my layouts yet??

Ok ok neither am I- :) 

I had such fun creating with this August 2013 kit-

This page I created I really wanted to highlight the Clear Scraps acrylic title

So I spray painted the back then alcohol ink'd the front. 

I actually love the seaweed look it has. 

I kind of wished I had alcohol ink'd the starfish too. I might

go back and do that actually. 

They are just fun photos and the Bo Bunny was a fun line to work with too!

 That's it for me today short and sweet- I have this last week

before the kids head back to school- gotta get stuff done! :) 

Happy Hump Day!

~Tried Something New!! Misting Glitter!~

Good morning and happy Hump Day!!

So...totally have something awesome to share tomorrow 

and today I wanted to share something FUN!

I tried something new on my craft room...I tried misting GLITTER

and I love it! :) I took the Chasing Pavements kit from Scraptastic

Kit Club and an acrylic frame from Clear Scraps.

 I glittered the heck out of the BACK of the acrylic frame. 

Let it dry completely, then sealed it with Preserve Your Memories. 

Then I took the Mister Huey's Mist from the add-on kit

and spritzed the back of the frame. 

I LOVE the affect it had and I think it looks pretty cool!

Even a seasoned crafter like myself can surprise herself! :) 

Go ahead try it! You will love it!!!

Happy Wednesday my friends, and stop by tomorrow!!!!

~Christmas Traditions Layout & BOGO Sale~

♥Good morning my amazingly crafty friends♥

I had a fun night last night, I FINALLY set up my Imagine...

well ok hubby did but still it is done! I even printed up a couple

tags to work with on my next LO!

He cleaned up and organized while I scrapped this page.

I needed a picture to scrap for the new Noel Mignon challenge contest,

so I dug through my old Christmas pictures. This is one of my favorite all time photos

of the boys with dad right before Christmas.

We had just moved to TN and it was a wonderful experience

you want to know the funny part? Neither one of us can remember where

this darn Christmas tree farm is LOL We have tried to find it

and we both come up blank.

Anyways I used the new Echo Park paper (or maybe it is old?) and some vintage

crocheted lace, with those AWESHUM snowflakes from Imaginisce, and my

handy dandy Glue Arts Ribbon Adhesive.

If you wonder why I am always listing the items I used,

it is because I do get alot of emails about it, and if you want to make

a page for yourself then you have the ingredients on hand ♥

Plus if I love a product I am not going to lie to ya, I will tell you it rocks!

Journaling:

The best gift I have ever received for Christmas, was not anything that could be given in a box. It was a FAMILY, a real family.

My first Christmas with my husband, we stayed up all night in each other’s arms talking until we fell asleep at dawn on the couch, then woke up an hour later with our son opening gifts.

Every year it is the same story, we are so excited putting out the

special gifts and watching the lights on the tree.

We talk about family , friends and events of the year, our lives before

and our lives now, our children, our losses, our joys.

It all comes up on Christmas Eve.

I never had a real family and for me that is the best gift I could ever receive.

Spending those moments in anticipation of the children’s excitement the

next morning with someone I love knowing we are a true family.

One more thing...TODAY ONLY!
