Capturing the Moments

First PCC post is LIVE!...and What's the Buzz with Bella Blvd?...and last 2 projects with Greatest View!

Hello again to all my favorite peeps...yes it's me again! WOW! A post a day it seems lately right? 

There is just so much new fun things to share every day! 

Like my very first post went live over at

Isn't is all so BEAUTIFUL and FUN? I am looking forward to getting my hands on these new lines and start creating! :) 

But wait, I have more to share...Eeee! :)

I have a couple more projects I created for Greatest View too...This layout is my current favorite, because I love this face Olivia gives me, and I have been having so much fun with creating different ways to make border tags. With this layout, I created a strip of the same photo, mimicking a Photobooth effect, with different actions to each image saved.  

I made this fun card for a friend, and I have to say, these cute little bags, are PERFECT for a gift card! LOVE it!

Thank you again to Gail, for having me as a Guest Designer this month with your AMAZING products! LOVE them!

Guest Designing with Greatest View...and more Bella Blvd! :)

It's been such a fun busy crafting time for me...I've got more to share! 

Today I get to share the creations I made using AWESOME fun embellishments by Greatest View store and Blog! I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know sweet Gail through our emails the last few months, and I absolutely LOVE her products and couldn't wait to share them...There is endless creative fun you can have with them! It's been a great pleasure to be asked to be a guest designer using her products. :) 

Aren't these fabric flowers to die for? Lahoooove them!

I used these pretty chevron bags to create a fun flower embellishment. These petite paper doilies are just perfect alone or layering, like I did with the flower embellishments

I LOVE the Sunburst and Chevron badges

Instagram Summer Blog hopper FUN and RAK!

I am so excited to be a part of this fun Blog Hop today!!!

My Instagram buddy, Jessy Christopher, came up with the idea and invited me to join this wonderful blog hop.

Are you on Instagram? What is Instagram?

It’s a fast, beautiful and fun way to share your photos with friends and family.

Snap a picture, choose a filter to transform its look and feel, then post to Instagram. Share to Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr too – it's as easy as pie. It's photo sharing, reinvented. I'm sure you've all seen a TON of my pictures that I've posted Via Instagram on my FB timeline. I love it! 

I've recently learned that Droid phones have instagram now too! So it's no longer iPhone/iPad/iPod exclusive app! This makes me happy too!

Here is what I am giving away. 

Since I love doing crafty things, I have crafty give aways galore!
It's been great going through all of my goodies to find just the right fun products to add to this RAK.

This is what I have put together to give away to a random person who leaves a comment here on my blog. 

Specific items pictured: Maya Road- Green and pink velvet flowers, Medallion Flowers Lilac and Rose, Pink and Yellow Velvet Stitched blossoms, kraft envelopes (4), Home word chipboard Album, Laundry Day Canvas pieces, Sheer home Ring Album; Prima- Homespun Elegance Vintage flowers; Sassafras- Wee bundle- nerdy bird, and Apple Jack. 

Blog Hop will end on 17 June, 11.59pm PST.

Simply leave me a comment and let me know if this is the first time you visited my blog. Everyone is eligible to win.
If you like my blog you can follow or sign up for a subscription (top left above my profile picture).

Have fun hopping.

A LOADED post of FUN!

I've been super busy...you know that FUN kind of PRODUCTIVE busy that makes you smile from the inside out?!

I spent Memorial Weekend with my children in Utah...Hill Air Force Base, where Noelly is stationed for now. I am soooOOOOoooo proud of her! She's so grown up, it is scary to me sometimes...and makes me see all the things I may have forgotten to share with her along the way. I pray...and add in little snipits of experienced life wisdom when I can...and when she's open to hearing it too! Ha! 

I LOVE seeing my girly in her uniform too! :)

We drove home Monday...and it is ALWAYS SUPER HARD for me to leave my kids EVER! My eyes leaked some...

On our ride home, I had to stop a couple of times for pictures...thankfully Fos and Olivia were up for this too! 

I've always wanted to stop and take pictures of this cool graffiti wall in Utah.

Then...as we were rounding our way around Swan lake, and the rain clouds were ALL around us, with a little bit of the sun popping out to say hello, and give us a GORGEOUS colorful smile...again I had to STOP to capture it!

It seemed like I could reach right out and touch it! This is the closest I've ever been to a rainbow before. You can literally see where it enters the water and fades away! :)

Then I get home to this super FUN news! 

Introducing the PCC Creative Squad!

So this was something fun that made me smile! :)

I've been busy getting caught up since I got home, with crafting, and work...feeling a bit overwhelmed, but at the same time, accomplishing things on my check list! That always feels good right? :) 

Here are a couple of sneaks for a fun Guest spot I have to share, reveal coming soon! :) 

Can anyone guess? :) 

Next up...We are having an AWESOME fun "Summer Lovin Crop" over at Noel Mignon's site...come join the FUN with us all and our fun daily challenges!

To kick things off, we joined Michelle Rydell and her fun Scrappin the Music challenge!

Come join us on this challenge for a chance to win a $20 GC at Noel Mignon's store...and a chance for a spot in the STM Hall of FAME too!

Here is what I created for the challenge...and you can also view it here! with supplies used.

Supplies used to create this layout: Noel Mignon's June Summer Wind Kit...

I love the doilies that came with this kit, and they were the perfect touch for making a fun bow border along the bottom of the photograph. The stamps that came with this kit work great with the paint dauber as well. Love all the colors and how it all came together to compliment the photograph.

About the song and why I chose it...I'm a big fan of Lindsey Buckingham, and every time I hear this particular song, I think of Olivia and her sweet smile when she looks at me. Lately, she's going through a phase, where she doesn't want to pose for pictures as much as she use to. Well, on her 10th birthday, we were having so much fun decorating and making decorations for her party, that she turned to me and gave me that sweet smile of hers. When I heard of this challenge, I knew exactly what picture I wanted to use and what song to use with it. 

Elle's Studio site is NOW in full swing! Come on over and check out what the DT did with the kit and for May's reveal. 

If you'd like to see my full gallery for Elle's Studio, click here! I LOVE the new set up! I finally got ALL of my projects loaded in the new gallery this week! :)

Now...it's FRIDAY! What do you have planned for this wonderful weekend? I plan to get creative some more and if it decides to get warmer, go for a hike! 

Have a wonderful weekend! 

Think good thoughts!
