these are the layouts i was able to create for these girls, the scrap for a cure girls, they are doing such an amazing thing, donating a percentage of all kit sales to charity. and i am so honored to be their guest designer for may. and, did you see this kit? all of the proceeds go to help support and care for baylee and her sweet family. so much good in the world. you can see more of all of these in my sis gallery of course.
these two. last week they decided to step down as fashionistas and although my heart broke a little, because i wouldn't see them participating in fgirl things anymore, i understand. sometimes you know when it's time to move on. time to bring focus back to yourself. time to concentrate on family and the reason why we scrap in the first place. things i've been thinking about for a while now as well...
but i want them to know, truly know, how blessed i feel because i know them. how priceless these photos from last summer are to me. and although i understand, although i know i will still chat & "see" them online, i will miss their little fgirl stars. they are originals. in heart and spirit and i will always remember and hold that dear.
i love you kiki & chellers.
always!

just a little musical inspiration, feeling this one today. also, i'm doing two chats this week at sistv. monday morning at 7am pst and wednesday night at 6pm pst. come and join me. ask anything. but most important, let's connect and have fun!
and i added some new tunes to the playlist. :D
happy sunday!

a few months ago diane had asked me if i would be interested in being a guest designer one month for scrap for a cure, and of course i said yes. these girls are the sweetest, they donate a portion of all kit orders to charity, and they have some serioulsy wonderful kits.
these are sneaks of five of the layouts / projects i created with the upcoming may kit, which goes on sale on the first of may i believe.
i loved playing with it. there was a new company included that i hadn't used before, which is always exciting, and the fabric.. {{oops!}}... well i'm just going to leave it there.
oh, and that creative team announcement? i was asked last week before i left for scrap etc to joing the amazing team at creative therapy. i feel so honored. it's exactly what i've been looking for, a place to focus and create while pushing myself to be more real, more emotional and more truthful with my work. my first work with a catalyst will be up monday... cannot wait to share.
happy saturday!

it's amazing, it truly is, to sit {well... actually i stand} and create with papers that i designed {more here}. i knew it would be exciting. i knew it would make me happy. but i didn't realize how full my heart would be when i saw others create with them... i feel so blessed.
and yes, i stole all these pics right from the amazing gallery at sistv. but i don't think they'll mind.
also, i know i'm super late but i'll be contacting my destash winner via email this afternoon. due to the nature of the reason why i decided to do this, to support those who might not be able to afford supplies right now, i've decided to do it this way instead of announcing it here. i'm sure you all understand and i hope you'll think about doing a destash rak now and again as well.
and thanks to emily for the idea, it has made my heart happy knowing i'll be helping someone create art.
and, and ... make sure you come back tomorrow. i have some exciting news to announce about a creative team i just joined. it is going to push me to be real and honest, which is exactly what i've been craving.
happy friday!

a new haircut can make all the difference. it can brighten my day like no other. it can make me feel blessed and grateful to be me. it can put a smile on my face and a spring in my step. ahhhh.... just perfect.
i have also gotten alot of emails this week about my romantic collection. apparently there was an error with the printer and the collection will be on sale at sis on monday. so no one has missed it. *whew*!!
also, i was inspired after reading emily's post today to follow her lead and offer up a box of destash goods to one poster. to send some love out into the world to one budget conscious scrapper/crafter who could use a little goodness in their mailbox. i'll pick a name on monday.
happy friday!

so you want a sneak peek... don't you? my banner class i'm teaching in tennessee at sisiversary is my all time most favorite project ever. lots of yummy goodness from my generous sponsors; hambly, tinkering ink and of course we'll be using the new papers i designed for SIStv. plus there will be vintage fabric & trim. glitter, yes, lots & lots of glitter. and some vintage embellies and other embellies lovingly handmade by me, just for class participants. you can register {{here}}.
and did you see the other classes? if i wasn't teaching i would take them all!
also, in other news my class at picture me perfect was canceled as i'll be attending scrap etc and helping allison at the hambly make & take. however, my sweet friend nikki is teaching a class at pmp on that day, an amazing painted layouts class so if you're in the area you should go. i would if i was in town!
and, if you're going to be at scrap etc. make sure you come and say hi!
happy monday!
xoxo
