~Soul Friends- Enjoying The Journey~

Good morning my friends, 

You will find me quite scattered this week as tonight I drive

into Nashville and pick up my in laws! :) And the Christmas vacation begins. 

But before that I wanted to share a couple things with you...

a project I created for Connie Crystal and a special moment yesterday. 

You can find a tutorial on this card/tag gift set project on Connie Crystal

I am just sharing a sneak, not the entire project! Go check it out...

I also used all the goodness from Jinger Adams...*beautiful*

As I create it is always like therapy, this has been an eventful year

but  it also has forged the best relationships as well, so for that I am so blessed

and extremely happy. I am finding peace from the very dark years of my past. 

Yesterday my close friend Shauna, brought me this gift...the most heartfelt

gift I think I have ever recieved. It brought me to tears...and I wanted to share 

with you because it is such an amazing idea....

 This beautiful necklace with this note inside...I just cannot think of a

more heartfelt thing to do or a sweeter gift for a friend. 

I was humbled and blown away. 

 For me Christmas is never about the gifts and definitely about friendship

and love and sharing. (For me that's crafting and baking up a storm!!)

This really choked me up and I am so blessed to have such amazing 

strong women in my life. She is not the only one I am blessed with but 

I can say this Christmas is very special...I am enjoying

the journey, every amazing moment-

and I hope you all have the most amazing holiday season as well. 

~Merry Christmas~

~**New Release** Friends Recipe Stand Album~

Morning!

I'm excited to share the brand new release from Clear Scraps today-

the new Recipe Stand Holder with the fun Acrylic Word Albums. 

I used the Recipe Stand Holder and added the Acrylic Word Album

(the Friends) I coated the "friends" with Vive Decor Glass Effects

and used Viva Decor Pearl pen to outline it. 

The pages are all from the Jinger Adams Collection. 

 The bugs and bits are all Momenta Metals. 

 You can see I inked the edges of the papers with a pretty Clearsnap

Chalk inks. 

I love the design!

It was a fun album to play with and embellish.

Oh and I sprinkled a little bit of glitter on the Glass Effects for 

a fun little nugget of glitter. :)

Go check them out- FUN STUFF! Great for the holidays.
