In My Thoughts...

Scrapping from the heart!!

To be honest I have been in a scrap funk lately... I have not been scrapping from my heart but more out of obligation or because I have a deadline of some type.  I am so excited to share some projects with you over the next week that I have been doing for me and me only (well actually they are mostly for gifts but you get the point) I am back doing what I love because I love it.  

Here is a mini mini book that I picked up at Survivor Crop, my dear dear dear dear friend Erin spent countless hours prepping this C-U-T-E make n take and I got one and only used the acrylic book (sorry Erin I hope you still love me).  Go to her BLOG HERE and see what the original design looked like, she is AWESOME and you will laugh hysterically at her blog.  

 

I love Christmas time and I can't wait to officially start the Christmas season... What a joy this season is and it's a time of Thanksgiving Joy and reflection of the past and coming year.  

Photo shoot & a few cards...

Every once in a while I need new photos of myself... as much as I hate taking photos of myself since I see all the flaws I know (or have learned) how important it is to have photos of yourself.  So I gave my very talented 7 year old my camera and told him that he was my photographer.  Thanks Blake!!  So here are a few of my favs.

 

These will be making an appearance in some projects soon...

Now here is some actual inspiration..

  

 

These will be cards that I am teaching EXCLUSIVELY at only Stampfully Yours or Stamping Details.  Check their calendars for more deets.  I gotta run and wrangle the kiddos together and do something productive today :-)

Hidden Talents

I have a hidden talent of being able to make balloon animals... who would have guessed!!  He He He it's my own little secret.  We went to Big Bear CA and the kids loved that I could make random animals and flowers.  I was the hit of the day till the next toy came out LOL.

  

Products:

My Little Shoebox: In Bloom Line... Die Cuts, chip board letters, borders.

This is a great line and this was my first time in doodling and I liked the way it turned out.  

Love this Hero Arts stamp sooo much!!!

My Little Shoebox: Imagine a Forest

This woodgrain stamp from Hero Arts is one of my FAVS from Hero Arts!!  

The picture is of my Daughter and Angelina (my Best Friends daughter) our prayer is that they always be friends and that they have as close of a friendship as we have.  Kelsee and I have been friends for 15 years and have been through so much together.  We have a friendship that can withstand anything and pick up where we left it.  We even shoot guns together but thats a whole other layout. 

Thanks for lookin'

Hero Arts...

Thanks to Hero Arts for the month of October for letting us play with the yummies.  This stamp set went PERFECT with My Little Shoebox: In Bloom.     

 

Used my Copic markers to color the birdy and the leaf things.  I also clear embossed the leaf pattern on the top which is my FAVORITE part of this layout.  

Thanks again Hero Arts... love ya MUCH!!!
