Hello bloggers - yes, I'm still here - just a bit MIA ... AGAIN! My time management skills are highly lacking lately! I did come home to a nice pick me up yesterday when this arrived in the mail ...
My layout is in here! This is one I did for Creative Imaginations for CHA!! Here it is ...
Thanks Scrapbooking and Beyond for featuring my layout and thanks to those who stooped by to take a peek!
Happy Monday! I spent this past weekend cleaning out the rest of the kitchen preparing for the renovation scheduled to start this Thursday - give me strength to make it through the upcoming chaos ... keeping the end result in mind as the dust goes everywhere! I'll keep photographing the process and share on Facebook! Lowe's and I will be close friends for the next few months ...
After a kinda crappy day at work I came home to find two copies of this in an envelope ... I have a layout in this issue!
There is also a peek of my layout on their page >>here<<
The layout in this issue was created using products from Creative Imaginations for CHA Sumer 2011! Here's the layout ...
The photo is beyond cute and taken by my great friend and fabulous photographer Heather Chick of her adorable daughter ... She has been the subject of many a scrapbook page - and will be in more in the future!! Thanks Heather! Thanks for letting me share this with you - it ended my Monday quite nicely!!
Hope you all had a lovely Valentine's Day. I'm back in the work groove after a much needed weekend with the girls at a crop hosted by my LSS Right at Home Scrapbooking! It's always nice to be with friends that truly enjoy being creative, fun, silly and supportive. It's creative therapy and I can't wait until our next get together!
I created a few projects ... one just for fun. I decorated a 4x4 canvas with a cupcake - the "wrapper" is made from corrugated cardboard by Creative Imaginations - sprayed with a gorgeous plum mist and "topped" with a variety of white buttons from my stash.. It's a great way to use up buttons and makes a great gift for any occasion! Here's a few pics ...
I also managed to complete a few DT layouts for Right at Home. The team was given a color challenge and a sketch challenge. My color challenge layout is below - for details and supplies check out the blog >here< .
My sketch challenge will be posted towards the end of the month - it's a double page with Valentine's paper and some cute pics of Simba!! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day and rest of the week!!!
Happy Thursday! I wanted to hop on and share my first ever ATC cards I did for Creative Imaginations. I thought, how hard can it be - the canvas is so small it'll be a breeze ... not so much! I was definitely a challenge to create something small, but here's what I came up with ...
I treated each card like a mini canvas and it finally came together! Here's each card separately ...
If you're looking for ATC inspiration, head on over to the CI Blog - it's ATC week and the cards are awesome!! Thanks for stopping by!
If you're in the area, Right at Home Scrapbooking is having their super fun Holiday Bus Express Tour and I'll be demoing lots of mixed media products. So stop by and say HI and have some FUN!!
Thanks to everyone for the lovely Birthday Wishes ... you all made me feel special!
I'm still in canvas mode - although I just finished a fun Halloween Layout for Right at Home Scrapbooking using Pink Paislee's "Phantom" collection ... I'll post soon!
Here's a canvas I created for Creative Imaginations using IOD'S "Loolah" collection ... check out the post HERE for details.
Thanks for stopping by and have a GREAT holiday weekend!!
I hope everyone is recovering from the Hurricane we recently endured. I was very lucky - never lost power and no major damage - just a mess to clean up! One of my accounts was without power so we have been working elsewhere this week so we don't get too far behind. I feel for all those who have suffered and I hope they are on the mend.
I'm still here, despite my lack of posting for a MONTH!! I get the award for blog neglect for August ...
I have been creating ... mostly canvases lately - my new passion! I am now totally in love with mixed media and will be sharing some of my projects soon.
I wanted to share another layout I did for CHA Summer for Creative Imaginations. This project features a brand new Signature collection called Fresh Picked. The collection features gorgeous fruit themed papers perfect for showcasing favorite recipes, fruit picking events or whatever you choose. I used the strawberry papers and stickers to highlight a day we spent strawberry picking with Mr. Joshua! Here's the layout ...
Check out this collection - it's FUN! A few of my other layouts for Creative Imaginations were picked up for publication so I can't share those quite yet!!
I will be back soon with a mixed media project for Petaloo featuring some of their new CHA Summer releases! Have a great week and I WILL be back soon!!
Returning to reality after vacation is never easy - especially after having such a fun time at CHA Chicago. I did miss my family and friends and my furry family but I did not miss work and the daily routine. I have to admit I haven't created ANYTHING since I've been back but that's about to change .... projects are now presenting themselves and it's time to be crafty again! Hopefully a break will spark some new ideas and projects.
I wanted to share the projects I did for Creative Imaginations over the next few posts starting with a NEW collection from Samantha Walker called "A to Z" - perfect for school photos and memories!! Kate, my Niece's daughter is the subject of this layout using the "A to Z" collection. I also created a card for that special teacher.
TFL and I'll be back tomorrow with a few more projects!
Summer here in New England is such a short lived season that we cling to every moment and cherish every sunny day. I want to soak in these few months and make the most of them. To help me stay in this moment I been creating summer layouts as much as possible. This one was done with Creative Imaginations IOD Beach Cottage line. My nieces took their kids to the beach after confirmation and my layout features Miss Katelynn enjoying that gorgeous, sunny day. A special THANKS to my talented friend Jenn Shurkus for encouraging us to capture the best season of the year with summery projects. Check out Jenn's blog for awesome summer-inspired projects posted DAILY in July - it'll be so much FUN!! ENJOY the season.
