I am so excited!! This is my very first time doing any blog party. My day is on January 17th!!
I get to show off some very fun Dies :) I can't wait. Just to tie you over here is a couple of layouts that I did a few months ago. I meant for them to come out on Christmas day but life has a way of getting out of control.
 

This is a two page layout of a Chrismas Dress that all of the girls in my family wore for there first Christmas. Starting with Stacey Caron and ending with my two little ones.
So The Dress is about 45 yesrs old. Which reminds me!!

This is the Poem I made up for the center :

Our Little Green Dress Of Velvet & Lace
Each one of us taking place in it’s legacy of grace
A tradition started with one’s anticipation
To be carried on to the next generation
This Little Green Dress Of Velvet and lace
Holds apart of our lives that can never be replaced

As we pass forward what is now our legacy and tradition
To our Daughter’s, Sister’s, Aunties, Cousin’s,
Mother’s and Grandmother’s
Our hope is that this little dress touches your life as it has ours
And let it create a bond between generations
Remembering that it is now your legacy to carry
Our Little Green Dress Of Velvet And Lace
To inspire the next generation

Hope you like this and it motivates & inspires you:)

Hello!! I wanted to take a moment and thank you everyone for all of the wonderful comments. It truly means a lot. I try to post comments any time I visit other Blogs. I know how it inspires me to keep going. I can only imagine how it feels to have more followers. I believe it inspires everyone to keep paper crafting alive. Not to mention all of the great designers can post any new methods and great ideas. Which reminds me to give Beth from Spellbinders a shout out for all of her hard work on Spellbinders Blog and getting this little designers art work up in the gallery each month. If Santa had an elf I am sure Beth would be her name ;) Thank you for all your help in advance with my blog.

Here is one of the peaces I have in the gallery right now…















OK, So I have a little Impressabilies obsession with this altered peace. These little plates of metal are so cool. I wish I had one of each. Believe it or not I don’t. I have a list just like everyone else out there.
With Winter CHA and new releases coming out. I am sure that list will get bigger.
Here is my supply list :
Spellbinders Dies
S5-019 LABELS EIGHT
S4-233 LABELS NINE
S-189 LABELS THREE
I12-1006 IMPRESSABILITES FLORAL & STONE
I12-1009 IMPRESSABILITES FLOURISH


Frames are actually from Michael’s Craft Store. It was a find I paid One dollar folks. It totally inspired me when I saw it. I used my Impressablities on silver craft foil then embellished with Copic Markers.
Have an obsession with those too

Here are some cross promo products that I used :
THE CHOCOLATE BOX CORE DINATIONS
G28-YR23-FY62-R39-YR14 COPIC
EZ SQUARES SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES
PAPER TACKS CREATIVE IMPRESSIONS

I wish I knew how to do a link because they have some pretty net stuff.
You can use Google which is another obsession.
Few other things I picked up on the fly some else.

CSS25894-REGAL FLORI SH STAMPERS ANONYMOUS

I can’t remember Where I picked up the other stamps from. I just really like the sayings

CREATIVITY IS ALLOWING YOURSELF TO MAKE MISTAKES ART IS KNOWING WHICH ONES TO KEEP.

LIFE IS NOT MEASURED BY THE NUMBER OF BREATHS WE TAKE BUT BY THE MOMENTS THAT TAKE OUR BREATH AWAY.

YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU'RE MAKING A MEMORY.

Spellbinders is on the hunt

This is a series of cards I made for a picture frame I love the earthy paper from crafty secrets and the craft foil just gives the best accents.Oh and I did use my cat eyes to make the pendants pop I don't want to forget 7 gypsies graff tape Awesome :)
Hello all !! Spellbinders is at it again. They are looking for the ultimate Designers. I had the opportunity to try out for this years team!! And it was the best experience. I got to meet all of my favorite designers with exception of very few. I love all the new products I got to use (it still makes me shiver:) However I will not be trying out this year. Because I am Stacey's little sister. I am not eligible:( But no worries I can work on my blog :) and hang more with my kids. And it gives all you designers a
chance to get your recognition !!! So get your fire burning and try out you will not regret it :)

Yes yet another photo of my girls. I can be a little cheesy when it comes to getting there pictures taken:) but I am there MOM and it is my right to do so:) There is a lot going on in these layouts. I felt there needed to be a lot going on . I wanted to show case three different posses on one layout.

List Of Supplies

A lot of the thing in these two layouts should be formal er
Head band was an altered project for Spellbinders
Then there is the anchor that I hand drawn because I could not find one in a stamp

For the journal I chose to make up poems. Yes very cheesy I know :)
Here they are
Keeley is my ray of light,
Her spirit just shines so bright,

With the love I have in my hart
I know we will never part,

When I first looked into those eyes of mine,
I knew our souls were intertwined,

You are My Baby,
My Hart, My Soul,
My Light
~Your Mummy~

Bree is my strength
She keeps me together
Her spirit breaths life into everything around her
The tender way she approaches life shines
Like no other precious moments
Her intense interests keep her focused on the task at hand
The will to make everything work for her reminds of me
As she grows though the years I can only hope
That she remains strong for there is nothing wrong
With bring a stable anchor
In this vast blue sea
~ Your mummy ~

Feeling the chill in OHIO

Life has a way of getting in the way of my blogging :) I thought I would share another project that I did for Summer CHA . The Paper Company has some really great shimmer Paper. The new snow flakes from Spellbinders just topped this layout . Hope you enjoy the eye candy :)
I am not big on the layouts But I do like the fact that I am getting a lot of my albums done .
I tend to dwell on a layout for hours . Did I do enough or not enough that is always going through my brain . The picture says a thousand words by it's self.

Well I have lots of work to do to get caught up so have a great evening everyone :)

Luminary Shoe Box

I have exciting news. I have been very busy the last couple of weeks moving my baby into her big girl bed. I now have a craft room:) I am growing
I have to admit it is nice to have my dinning room back. The husband is happier now. Yeah
No more yelling :)

This is not a very good picture. I know but it is the only one I have. I already sent it off. It was at Summer CHA.



To make this I used :
a little shoe box
7gypsies Paper
Clear Vellum
Craft Foil from Spellbinders
ColoeBox Chalks cateyes
Flurdelis Pendant Die
Accents
Three battery light inside

I have to get projects for October Done you won't here from me for a little while.
I do not manage my time very well. I am way far behind and trying to get caught up :)
have a great Day and thanks for stopping by:)

Hey There:)

This is another CHA Summer project that I made for Spellbinders Paper Arts .
This is a Photo of my Grandma when she was a little girl around the 1920's .
I saw this bag at Pat Catan's My favorite craft store:)
I had gotten my new Labels and knew just what I was going to do.
I love 7 gypsies things. If I knew how to give you a link it would be right here:)
I am not that advanced with blogging just yet. Any way Altered projects are my all time favorite things to do . They are very time consuming for me though. This took me a week to complete. There is a lot of Decoupage, Colorbox Chalks Feathers, Foil and 7 gypsies paper.
Labels 8&9 , Accents from flurdelis, Impressabilities, Renaissance Harts Pendent,
I really liked the way this turned out :)
