12 Days of Christmas

Hey so you need some gift ideas or just some holiday inspiration? Well check out Croppin Paradise's Christmas Bazaar . The design team will be posting great project ideas! I will be posting my project on the 12th day so stay tuned.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope everyone is having a great Thanksging hanging out with family and enjoying tons of food! I would just like to say that even though there are many things to be thankful for, I am thankful for the three guys that I share my life with everyday. I consider myself really lucky to be in Trey, Isaiah & Preston's lives. What are you thankful for?

My Mind's Eye: patterned paper and pop embellishment and American Crafts: thickers

I am also thankful to be part of an amazing DT. These ladies are the best. Check out the CP blog to see what they are thankful for.

Where have I been....

It has been a long while since I've posted anything. At least I have a good excuse. About a month and a half ago I started a new job. Even though I am glad to have more hours, seeing as it equals more money, it has really cut into my free time. Not much has happened since I last posted except for the fact that Trey and I celebrated 6th year anniversary and Preston turned 6 years old. For now I leave you with a couple of layouts seeing as I started this blog for scrappy purposes. Enjoy your weekend!

Basic Grey: patterned paper and die cut & letter stickers, Making Memories: felt stickers, American Crafts: thickers

LYB: patterned paper, clear stickers and journaling block, Basic Grey: letter stickers, American Crafts: thickers

school layouts

I know, I know you are putting out all the fall and Haloween decor but here is a couple of more back to school layouts that I have to share.

Bo Bunny: patterned paper, Pink Paislee: chipboard number, KI: glitter stickers, American Crafts: thickers, LYB: epoxy sticker, Basic Grey: letter sticker, Jenni Bowlin: crate paper and ric rack

You can check out what the rest of the Croppin Paradise DT did with Bo Bunny on the blog.

Crate Paper: pattern paper and die cut stickers, KI: glitter stickers, Basic Grey: letters, Cosmo Cricket: tiny alphas, Heidi Swapp: chipboard star

I really think this is one of my favorite Crate Paper line yet!

Cosmo Cricket: patterned paper and label sticker, Making Memory: Design Shop 3D stickers

I know that one is not a school layout but figured another layout wouldn't hurt, right. Now I am ready to go hit the pumpkin patches and Halloween and Fall festivals. Enjoy your week and nice fall weather!

This month the DT over at CP starting doing some classes and tutorials. This week was my turn. Headover to the forum to check out how to make a mini album in about two hours.

back to real life

Well we are one month into school and things are beginning to settle down. We are getting back into some sort of routine. Which is good because it gave me some time to do this weeks sketch challenge over at Croppin Paradise. Also, if you play along with the challenges each month you get a chance to win a $15 GC and be a guest designer!
