Capturing the Moments

Never ending fun with Crate Paper and AC...and SPECIAL Olympics! :)

Sharing my Crate Style post here as well today...and I just had to create something with these darlin pictures of Olivia all ready to go to her Princess Ball. (More details on the Crate Blog) :)

I love finding fun new creative ways to do title work...so this post is a little snip of how I come up with different ways to do just that...

Also see it here at Got Sketch Blog too! :) 

I couldn't just stop with one layout with the AWESOME new Maggie Holmes line for Crate Paper...I Lahoooooooove it! Look at how beautifully it all works together? All the fun vintage, and hip colors...I can't get enough honestly! My new fav! Also loving these darling flair buttons by Panda Eight Designs! 

Having a great week with my girl...We spent the entire day with her whole class up at Whitefish Mountain Resort cheering on the Special Olymics games. It was so AMAZING! I am so proud of being a part of this class. Mrs Emsley is so wonderful to share her passion and teaching our children the importance of compassion and love for these special people that is so needed...children and adults alike. It was truly AMAZING! 

Olivia's class playing in the snow after lunch break.

Girls covered in snow! LOVE it! :)

Now for one more little shout out. Like many of us crafters out there, I've been on the hunt for YEARS to find a good trimmer that is cuts accurately! That is easy to use and consistantly good! I finally found it...and I felt the need to share this info with you all too. The Price is AWESOME to boot! 49.99 :) So if you are in need of a new trimmer, or you just want to have a good one finally...this is my #1 of all time! American Crafts... CutUp Cartridge Trimmer...

I'm also super excited to share that I've had 2 clients request hats from me...and I got to use my new little fun tags that my sweet friend Diane Payne sent me for my birthday! (Love them!) The hats that were sold, you can view in the above picture of me and Olivia. I am wearing the hat and have made a duplicate one like mine, and in the process of making a black one now for my other client. :) This makes me happy! This just might turn into something! Kind of excited at the idea...and just going with it. :)  

That about sums up this post for now...and thanks for visiting! Have a super blessed rest of your week! Think good thoughts! :)

Loves,

Valentine's Day Blog Hop with American Craft Team

Welcome to the American Crafts Valentine's Day Blog Hop!

Here is the love-themed layout I made using mostly XOXO supplies:

I kept this simple, with very little journaling, and spent more time with designing a fun background to compliment this sweet photograph of my son and daughter. I chose to make this photograph BW since the background is full of wonderful bright colors. I wanted the photograph to pop off the page and not conflict with all the background design.

I created the fun border and hearts using my Silhouette cutting machine, with the patterned papers. 

 

I too have decided to provide this fun hop with a give away of my own.:)

Products included:

Hello to all my favorite people! :) 

I can't believe Fall is here...where does the time go? 

I've been having tons of fun creating with my favorite lines of paper! I love creating different ways to use paper on my pages! :) 

Today is my first Tutorial post for Crate Paper...come on over and take a look! :) 

Here's a little sneak of what I created:

Crate Paper also had a team up with PageMaps this month too...and I got to create this happy layout with their AWESOME sketch! :) I LOVE this layout, and the pictures of Olivia and my niece Marilyn! They have the sweetest little bond and it shows in all of the pictures I've captured of them!

I've also been working on the New Bella Blvd lines as well...Stop by the blog to see more details and what the other talented girls have created. :)

With all the Back to school rush going on, I've been a tad busier than normal, but I love it! 

I have a little something else up my sleeve, that I can share on Friday too! Stay tuned! :) This is all I can share for now! ;) xx

Have a great rest of your week! 

Back to my craft table for more fun!

Think good thoughts!

Getting back in the swing of things...

Just got back from AZ, where me and the kids had a great time hanging out together, minus Noelly.

Decked out for Seahawks game

Back home and taking pictures at the School playground...Love this playground for pictures!

Olivia and her girlfriend True

We are just about ready for going back to school. Getting all our last minute crazy fun free time out of our systems. 

I am LOVING all the goodies I'm playing with for Crate Paper and American Crafts and Bella Blvd's new lines too. 

Here is a layout I created for Bella Blvd Creative Wednesday

and here are a couple of sneaks...I've been playing!

Also still at it knitting...finished a cover for my Dad for his birthday...Lahoove how it turned out. :) 

I did something crazy this past week. My all time favorite lipstick was not at Ulta, or even on their website! I kind of freaked out, and went to the Urban Decay website to see if I could possibly get it there. Guess what? It was on sale from $22 to $8...so I got 10!!! I don't know what I will do when they run out, but hopefully I will be over it by that time! LOL. Do you ever do crazy things like this?

Now back to creating...and cleaning...and processing more photographs. Stay tuned!

Hope you all are being blessed!

Teaming up with Manufactures is so much fun!

So excited for this to finally go live! 

Bella Blvd as teamed up with Twinery, which is my ALL time favorite embellishment right now! You can check out the Bella Blvd Blog and Twinery Blog all week this week to see what all of us have created with this fun team up. Today's blog post is here and here!

Needless to say I had a TON of fun creating with it and all the beautiful colors they sent me. 

As many of you know I have been learning how to knit this year, as well as crocheting too! This is a new love for my creative outlet! :) When I was given the opportunity to design with the twinery, my first thought was to try to crochet with it! I haven't seen that done or tried yet, so I was excited to give it a go! :) 

Here is what I created for one of my projects...

I hope everyone had a beautiful and blessed Mother's Day! 

I certainly did...I spent the day reminded of a special Mother's Day gift I was given 10 years ago, when Olivia, my youngest girly came into this world! :) 

She is finally in her double digits, and super happy about that!

Here are a couple of pictures to share of our fun day!

The one big thing Olivia wanted to do when she turned 10, is get her ears double pierced...so this is what we did! :)

 

We also went to see the Avenger's movie, with my Dad (Poppy) and Grandma Mary...which was completely AMAZING! Such a wonderful day! 

I will be adding more pictures, as I have the time to develop and post them this week! Looking forward to sharing them with you all! 

xx

Have a beautiful week...and thing good thoughts!

I came home to my Scarlet Lime box of goodies to dive right into immediately! :)

Here are the 3 creations I did with the December FANTABULOUS kits! Sunny Buddy was actually inspired by a dream I had and literally had to get up in the midof the night to sketch it out. I've been saving it for this kit ever since! :)

 

I am super happy to share that I have been asked to be a Guest designer for Scrapatale blogspot...and what fun I had creating a step by step instruction on a fun idea that I was inspired by a quilting technique called yo-yo's. Come check it out here. :) I used Sassafras products for this creation. :) *Now be sure to check it out...I have a wonderful RAK I have very specially put together for the winner of the challenge...I can't wait to see what you all create!* :)

 

  

....and some even more fun good news that I've been dying to share with you all too!  There is a new Cardstock manufacturer in town and I am so honored to be asked to join their design team! Couture Cardstock is their name...and check out the blog here.

So there you have it folks...a post packed full of lots of fun Blessings!

I will be having another follow up post with some yummy Couture creations that I've been working on...as well as more from my December Scarlet Lime kit...I just can't stop playing with this AWESOME kit! :)
