  • it's monday. i'm not always a fan of monday's. but i guess it was pretty nice to have a nice, long holiday weekend. i actually did NOTHING for two of those days. just laid around, watched movies off the DVR, watched six straight hours of "friends" on thanksgiving night (every single thanksgiving episode from their…

  • i have a layout up today, on the bella blvd blog. when i first saw bella's new mid-release collection, winter wonder, i fell in love with the colors and patterns of the papers. they are papers that i can see myself using on everyday layouts, just like THIS one. but when i got to the…

  • i have two more projects to share from my october guest designer gig, for my mind's eye. these were both created for the MME november newsletter. i was given this sketch, by MME designer jana eubank, and was asked to create a two page layout from it. i use sketches quite often, but this was the…

  • i have two layouts to share with you, and i was going back and forth between which to share first. i decided to share the one that is featured in the new scrapbooking with fabric & notions special issue, by creating keepsakes, first. then tomorrow, i will share the second layout, and you'll see why they sort of…

  • I have another share for Kerri Bradford Studio today. As part of "Get Started Now" week on Kerri Bradford's blog, the design team has been sharing ideas on creating cards/gifts/decor for Christmas now before the real craziness of the season begins. As I was trying to think of a framed project I could make for gift…

  • yesterday, it was halloween on the blog. and today, we're switching over to easter. lol! i've been playing with bella blvd's two new collections the last few days, and today i'm sharing a layout using the new spring flings and easter things collection. i managed to find some egg coloring photos that i have never…

  • a small miracle has occured, and i have a brand new layout to share today. i actually have another brand new one to share tomorrow as well. but this one was made entirely for no reason. just because. the photos are older ones of the girls. i came across them a few months ago, and…

  • today, i'm finally able to share this fun layout that was in the september issue of creating keepsakes. i cut it super close on the deadline to submit this, and apparently only took one photo of it. and i never took more pics, before i mailed it in. then it got held up coming back to…

  • about a month ago, the talented jen gallacher asked me if i'd be interested in guest designing for her august stretch your sketch class over on two peas in a bucket. i love working off sketches, so i jumped at the chance.        here is the sketch that jen provided for us this month.…
