~Life's Better With Friends!~

Good morning from beautiful TN!

With the house so quiet I am having a very creative week.

Today I have a layout I made yesterday from the Tally Scrapper

April Kit "Blooms & Wings". This kit is so dreamy, I love it!

I am so blessed with wonderful friends here in TN. I mean true blue

amazing friends, Adrienne is just one of the amazing friends I have.

You know I often think that I had such an awful childhood and life

that I believe God had blessed me in so many more ways as an adult.

Don't get me wrong, I struggle daily with intense pain and other issues

but when it comes to family and friends, my cup really is overflowing!

We all go through those ups and downs but I am so blessed to have

strong rocks beside me even in those down times.

To me...THIS is what scrapbooking is all about.

My children will look back on my pages and say "Wow she may have

not had it easy all the time but she was thankful and loved with all of her heart"

At least that's what I hope they say *wink* hehe

In reality they could say "Why the heck did she have that pink hair???" LOL

OK off to create some more today, I am feeling the mojo this week!

Don't forget yesterday's GIVEAWAY!! You still have time to enter!

Thank YOU for stopping by, I love my friends♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

~Scrapbooking & Crafting IS Art!~

Good morning my crafty friends!

Don't forget about yesterday's GIVEAWAY!

I am always trying new things when I play with paper and craft.

When I was designing the April kit for Tally I ran across these book covers

I decided to add them to the kits and try one myself.

I am very happy with the results!

Almost everything here is from the April Kit from Tally Scrapper.

I sure am having fun designing these kits, it pushes me to create

in many ways and with many mediums.

I dyed the tulle with the smooch spritz in the kit too! :)

I covered the butterfly and boy let me tell you, the Imaginisce D-stress

is now MY BEST FRIEND when it comes to covering chipboard!

I am hoping to fill this Art Journal with my journaling for any and

all future layouts. Right now I just have them in piles of notebook

paper in my bedroom LOL Time to organize! :)

And it's true, scrapbooking, crafting and creating is ART!!

I treat it like art and love it like art! :)

Ok I am off to create today, I created yesterday all day and I am feeling it!

Have a beautiful day and THANK YOU for popping by!

~Huge News Coming & A New Layout~

Good morning!!!! Happy Sunday!!!!

I have some HUGE NEWS coming soon, I am waiting on

a loose end before I can announce it but it's going to be some FUN!

Also on the 12th there will be a Clear Scraps BLOG HOP with

sneak peeks to the brand new CHA releases! WOOT!~

Oh and Wednesday is a Samantha Walker Blog Hop!!!! YEA!

I cannot wait to share my project♥

But for today....I made this layout.

I know some people think I am weird for scrapping pictures of food

or no pictures at all, but I have so much fun looking back on my pages.

I made this Peach Cobbler and loved the look so I photographed it.

I knew when I saw the Holy Mittens Santa kit from Scraptastic Club

that I was going to scrap these pictures with it! :)

I also used my Imaginisce i-top (love that thing) and my

Glue Arts Glue Gider Pro...I think that was it! :)

Oh and my Fiskars border punch.

I really just had fun with it, it was a good relaxing day and I wanted

to scrap a night and light layout. Thanks Jessica from Scraptastic Club

who gifted me this kit! I am so thankful, you are so KIND! :)

I will see you all tomorrow and let's hope against all hope

that I can finally make my announcement! LOL

~Happy Sunday~

~Thanks for stopping by~

Morning my crafty friends....

out of this day to thank you all for the overwhelming response

to the video/blog yesterday.

I know there was a giveaway but I have emails and

calls that were so uplifting and kind.

people in my life the last couple weeks.

Ok on to day 2 of the Scrapbooking From The Inside Out

October kit reveal...*PURPOSE*

Of course everyone knows I love Steampunk

*I have already used up one pack I need to get another!*
