How Did I End Up Here?

Cha-Cha-Cha Changes

It's been a while. The weather has been AMAZING in Michigan, and we have been taking full advantage of it by hanging outside whenever possible. By the time we come in, it's bedtime. As such, no creative endeavors, but some quality family time. It's amazing how much warm weather can improve the mood. Now the allergies? They are taking a bit of getting used to.

So onto the changes. As my year with GCD and Lily Bee comes to a close, I thought I would share my last two projects with these teams. I had a blast with both, and wish them all the best.

First up, GCD. I love the colors in this new line called Splendor. I modeled the page off a free template from Designer Digitals, and added the photos to the film strips and cut them out. I then finished the page, adding some tickets cut with my Cameo.  

Then Lily Bee, I used a new line called Buttercup. Man, am I in love with the colors in this line! I busted out my Cameo again and made my own element. Totally unlike me, as I am obsessively simple. It was fun to break out of my habits though.

 I feel fortunate to have all of these opportunities, for sure. And to top it all off, I just had three projects chosen for a new idea book called "For the Home" from Scrapbook Trends. They are all projects using Lily Bee, which is the best way for me to say thanks for the opportunity to design. It's a reminder of why I choose to design. It keeps me creating and trying new things. It forces me to MAKE TIME to create, which I wouldn't do without the deadlines.

And I look forward to this year with Webster's Pages and Simple Stories. Exciting changes, to be sure!

Another layout, you say?

Well, for this week it's all I've got. Not terrifically wordy, but loving the break in the weather. Spring is coming, my friends. And for that I am so very grateful!

New line from My Mind's Eye. Scanned dark, is much lighter IRL. Still struggle with photographing and/or scanning my layouts. Drives me crazy!

Happy Thursday!

Simple Stories Layouts

Here are three I did for my application. I'm so excited to be chosen for the team!!! The new lines look amazing, and I use the Year.O.Graphy line all the time on my PL pages.

Enjoy your Friday! I hope to get some creative time in this weekend. Wish me luck!

Another layout to share

I am IN LOVE with these girls, as well as the Paper Heart line from Crate. I have been wanting to use it for a long time, and since I'm still in the "use it before you buy anything new" stage, the timing was right. The picture is horribly washed out in the scan, but perfect IRL.

Another fast one. 30 minutes.

Thanks for looking!

A Layout about Snow

Not a lot of snow this winter. And while you may know I am a person who HATES winter, the lack of snow only left us with one snow day. I'm a little bitter. But to be honest the weather was amazing. I only half hated winter. And that is progress indeed.

I am so in love with this line from Crate Paper. Layout came together in about 15 minutes. Love it when that happens! Also one of the advantages of being a simple scrapper.

Happy Tuesday!

Project Life - Week 17

Still going! But this week I fell a bit behind, so did not spend a lot of time adding a lot of detail. I don't like going into the next week behind, so I just got 'er done. It's OK. Some weeks will be like that. And if I stress about being behind I think I'll enjoy the process less. KWIM?

Included some of Jenna's school work, and a ticket from a raffle. Again, nothing special, but a week documented I wouldn't have otherwise.

Enjoy your Monday. Is that oxymoronic?

Notice anything new on the left?

Here is the official announcement. Excited!!!!!!!!!

Another one bites the dust!

February, that is. HELLO MARCH!!!

I did manage to make it though a photo a day, and here is my month in review.

I followed this list for February,

and here is March if anyone is interested. Follow the link for directions.

I'm not sure I'm going to follow it quite as closely as I did last month. You see, I have a new challenge for myself. I purchased this little gem last night after having one of my photography club kids shoot at the dance and upload directly to his IPad. I wanted in on that.

I love that I can take photos whenever I want with my phone. LOVE IT. And that I can edit and upload them to ShutterCal whenever the mood strikes. Cool stuff. But the quality is wearing on me a bit. I want better pictures. Enter the transfer from camera to IPad. More to learn, for sure. But I'm up for it!

Enjoy your Thursday!
