~Think Different~

Good morning my crafty friends,

I was heartbroken to hear Steve Jobs passed away so young.

You know he was very close to the age my grandmother was

when she passed away. Anyways I had not thought about it again

until Christine posted the new Survivor Challenge on Tally Scrapper.

The challenge was to use the Title "Think Different" and use

this photo as inspiration.

I love the unique challenge and decided to just DO IT!

I printed off the Apple logo, and made my own mask.

Then I smooch spritzed it on white cardstock.

I edited my photos to the colors of the computers and

basically stuck with the theme of the photo.

I kept it simple like the ad, and just went with it.

I struggled and struggle with this stinking photograph so I finally

laid it on a canvas I had and snapped the shot.

I apologize for the poor quality, it was just a bad day.

You know what I tried on this new layout?? My brand new Multi-directional

Glue Arts Glider Pro glue, you can flip it to PUSH or you can flip it to PULL it.

It really did glide smoothly...and they are giving them away on the Glue

Arts Blog this week, GO ENTER! :)

A little birdie told me I might be hosting a giveaway on my

blog soon too, so stay tuned!! :) Tell them PINKY sent ya

and you want to see a giveaway here too! :)

Journaling:I love the “Think Different” quote. It's more than just a logo.

To me it is who I have always been and accepting it with peace in my heart.

It's not a bad thing it's all about being YOU and being unique.

Even if you were not an Apple fan, you can still find inspiration

in the creativity of technology, and the attention to detail of Steve Jobs.

If you really look, you can find inspiration anywhere.

I chose to find inspiration in the ideas he had, and the "Think Different"

logo of Apple, because I do live my life in that way.

If you have not joined Tally you really should, it is an

amazing place full of artistic and creative inspiration! :)

Have a beautiful Friday my friends♡♡♡♡

~I Scrapped!! Survivor Is Full Swing!~

Good morning!!!

I am so excited that my life is finally calming down a little bit and

I was able to sit down and play with paper again! :)

Tally Scrapper is hosting their annual Survivor contest, this time

Christine is running it and I am always inspired by this challenge.

In fact some of my deepest and most creative layouts have come

from these Survivor challenges.

For this challenge we are challenged to create a MAP, on our page

and I came up with this page. I did not follow the example I sort of did

my own thing but it worked! I cannot wait to try it again!

I am so excited about how it turned out and I had to crackle the

photo to give it the whole affect.

I lived in Oregon my entire life, until I turned 30. Both my husband

and I have bad memories from living there and this was a perfect

outlet for me. It's funny because another Tally girl loves Oregon and

made the most creative polar opposite layout.

For me it was alot of pain and a childhood of abuse and adulthood

of nothing but pain. It's hard to not associate my abuse with where

I lived. Of course I cannot blame Oregon, but when I think

of being there I only feel and see pain now.

I hope that changes as I am farther away now.

Journaling: I spent my life in Oregon and it holds so many bad memories.

I can't blame the entire state but thinking of

Oregon really is a state of pain for me.

Happy Wednesday everyone!

I am home with sick boys today...poor kids...bring on fall sickies.

~It's That Time Again! New Banner Time!!~

Good morning my friends,

It's that time once again, I was feeling very itchy to create a new banner

for the last couple weeks and this weekend just pushed me over the edge!

Getting back to my vintage roots and playing with paper.

I used a Clear Scraps Acrylic background, with the

Tally Scrapper September Kit for all the paper and embellies.

I used my McGill punches to create these roses and used the

Jenni Bowlin Paint Dabber from the Tally September Kit to paint

a BUNCH of the banner...I am really excited!

I guess I need to change my buttons and blog colors too!

Happy Wednesday everyone!

THANK YOU for coming by, I love my blog friends~

Through all the physical issues I struggle with, and all the

dramma in the craft world, you ALL keep me moving and creating.

THANK YOU! :)
