It's open!!!

Well, I did it. I've been wanting to start a small little ETSY shop. As of yesterday it is officially open. Click on the link on the right side bar to be taken to it. My long term goals with it are to sale cards, paintings and jewelry. There are some cards for sale the other items will take a while for me to get on there. Check the store frequently as I will be adding stuff often...hopefully!

Exciting things are a happening!!!

I can't believe that I have not blogged about this yet. Talk about being way beyond excited!!! I received a lovely little email a couple of weeks ago from a company that manufactures Clear acrylic albums, pages and shapes. This was a congratulatory email about making their design team!!!! Clear Scraps has some amazing products that I cannot wait to work with. Let me tell you this team is going to be a lot of fun. It's a fun group of talented ladies. You can check us all out here...everyone's blogs on the left sidebar. Here are the two items that I submitted to them for condsideration of being one of their designers.

Thanks for looking. Have a great rest of the weekend!

Come join us...

This is new class that will start on the 19th. It is taught by Patti Hutchinson, one of my favorite fellow scrappers. The sneaks of the album are looking great...check it out...sign up.....HERE.

Since it has been a while, I'll leave you with some layouts and a few cards...

I'd also like to take a minute and mention a major loss that this scrappin' industry has endured. Aleida Franklin passed away this last Friday in a motor vehicle accident. She was such fabulous light and personality and she will be missed by so many. My prayers and hugs to her husband Brandon and her children Joshua and Isabella. I'm so thankful that she was able to shine her light on my world even if just for a little bit. Rest in peace my friend.

Sometimes...

the ideas for a layout just flow right together perfectly and I am so happy with the results. This is what happened on this one. I adore everything about it. Thanks for taking a peek!

***If you are looking for this layout I had to take it down for publishing...it will be in the March issue of Scrapbook Trends. I promise to replace the photos once the magazine has been released!

2 in 1 day!

Posts that is...and so unlike me! Here's a card I made today using the Sketch #78 over at the Card Positioning System blog. Love how it turned out.

Monday Monday Monday

The weekend is over and we woke up this morning to lots of loud rumbling! They are predicting thunder storms throughout the day. Kinda strange, we have been in the 100's the last couple of days and now it's a whopping 64 and rainy! Ahhhh...OREGON! Here are two layouts that I accomplished this weekend. I really adore the one of my younger boys...aren't they just adorable?!

Thanks for peeking and have a great week!
