How fun is Lori's new kit club Gossamer Blue! I met Lori years ago at National Scrapbook Day at Scrapbook Island. I was new to scrapbooking, and to my delight, she and her friend Debbie sat at my table. They both worked on projects, while I worked on LOs, but I could see how creative she was. Shortly there after she joined Lilly Bee's design team. She was talking about doing a kit club way back then, and I'm so pleased that she finally has! My first take, I was trying to do a Pink … [Read more...]
September Design Team Project
September 22, 2012 by 1 Comment
This month I was so lucky to get two (2) projects. Queen & Co. Magic Memories and Simple Stories Harvest Lane. Let's start with our Queen & Co. Disney project... It was so fitting with my recent trip to Disneyland. Honestly, I should have posed the pictures. This time we decided to really use the Disney photographers. Some times we don't, but I really wanted a Christmas picture, so I said that every time we saw a photographer we should get our pictures taken. So, we did. We got … [Read more...]
August Scrapbook Island Design Team Project
August 21, 2012 by Leave a Comment
This month I was lucky to get Authentique "Curiosity" in my design team box. It's a really cute line, and I love the teal and yellow with the gray, black, and cream. I was given a really cute little mini book to work with by October Afternoon. I really loved the "PLAY" that was laser cut in the front of the book. I thought that the best way to deal with it, and ensure that it was in focus was to paint it a gray color. I then backed it with the teal. It still seemed dark, so I filled it with … [Read more...]
Lots of work done at the expo!
August 17, 2012 by Leave a Comment
I went to Scrapbook Expo knowing that I wanted to do a ton of work. Well, I’m a really slow worker… Add the chatting and the eating and the “farting around” and I get a LO done every 3 hours or so. Ridiculous, I know. However, I had a BLAST with Lisa, Lei, and Serena! I would have done more, but we got our Design Team box on Saturday afternoon, and I spend the morning putting a album “kit” together for a coworker of John’s. Next week I’m going to start working on getting my new WordPress … [Read more...]
Summer

Let me just say that I’ve never really felt this lost while I was trying to work in a very long time. Saturday, we had our design team crop over at the store, and I thought, I’d make Christmas cards. I brought all my Christmas stuff. I made a great big mess. I couldn’t make a card. 5 hours at the store, and I didn’t come out with one card. Nothing. I was so frustrated. So I came home, and I pulled out a photograph. I remembered that I’d been wanting to try a technique that had lots of … [Read more...]
H2O Hazard

So, I’ve been feeling like I’ve lost a bit of my mojo lately. Not sure if it’s the weather, if it’s the Olympics, or if I’ve really just lost my creative mojo. So, I found some photos and I said, tonight I will scrapbook. Yeah. Right. So, I looked in the new Creative Keepsakes, found a sketch and out popped this… Things I love about my husband. He is brave enough to tell me that I’ve spelled my title wrong. … [Read more...]
Early morning birthday card
July 18, 2012 by 2 Comments
Yesterday was Lucy’s birthday. I thought I would make a card for her, and drop it off at the Island. So, this morning I got all of my extras from my latest design team and made a card! I’m so happy with the results. On the inside I used a Hero Art’s “happy birthday” stamp. I hope it’s dry for tonight! I just have to say, I love, love, love Glossy Accents. I put a thick coat all over that little sticker, popped it up on pop … [Read more...]
SI Make & Take July 20!
July 13, 2012 by 1 Comment
On July 20th, I’ll be doing a Make & Take at my favorite place to be, Scrapbook Island. If you haven’t visited the Island, you really need to. And what a better day to go than July 20th, where I will be teaching a Make & Take. For $4, you get to learn a new technique, and then when you are finished, you get a $4 store credit! It’s like a free project! So, I watch Scrap Time and last week, I think, Christine showed us a technique with black gesso and Dylusions Mists. I said to … [Read more...]

Ok, how lucky was I to have “Cake Walk” by October Afternoon! What a great paper line. So full of fun embellies and the washi tape is, well, AWESOME! So, lets start with a sneak peek! I’m saw these little critters and I was absolutely in love. So uber cute, I decided to focus my whole design around this sticker! Here is the whole LO: The left side: The right side: You know, I can tell you that sometimes I get these boxes and I get such a mind … [Read more...]
Club CK Love

You know, I’ve not been sharing my work much lately. I’m not quite sure why. It’s not that I don’t like what I’m doing, I certainly do. I think it’s just with all that is going on with home, and work that I just don’t get around to posting. I need to stop that. I think it might be hindering me from moving forward with a different path. So, last week I decided to post my LYB & Simple Scrapper design team entries to my Club Creating Keepsakes Gallery. Wouldn’t you know it… I was … [Read more...]
