Brave Girl

Wish Bliss Studio released this fabulous illustration set today - Brave Girl! Perfect for scrapping all the brave girls in your life (including yourself!!)

Here is a page I made with it.



My daughter at her spelling bee this year. It was kind of disappointing, but she held her head up!

Vintage Valentines

Oh, how yummy! Nancie Rowe Janitz put in her shop today these GORGEOUS Vintage Valentines. She thinks they are from the 1920's.

They are absolutely gorgeous printed out to make your own vintage valentines, but I had this idea for a fun little page. It's kind of cheesy, but I had fun.


In case you can't read them, the 5 sweet words on the red heart say, "Won't You Be My Valentine?"

creashens has released this fun element set at CatScrap today - these are just adorable - especially when you know her little girl helped her make them!!

I also wanted to play with this fabulous kit she has had in her shop for a while - I love these colors!
Here is what I came up with.


My youngest daughter who absolutely loves playing in the snow.

Some goodies

Oh, my poor neglected blog! I'm sorry I've been away so long! There's been a lot going on here from lots of paperwork, to my brother-in-law unexpectedly falling gravely ill and passing away within a week, to an unplanned trip halfway across the country for his memorial service, to lots more paperwork and getting ready for Christmas. I'm still FAR from ready, with only about 6 gifts bought so far! We don't have a tree yet, or any decorations up, because we only got back a few days ago, and have been pretty solidly working! Hopefully we'll get all that done soon, as we are rapidly running out of time! I am working on making a few holiday gifts - I'll share more about them as I get some made. But for now, I must share a few things with you!!

Did you know that CatScrap is having an Advent Calendar? Check out the daily downloads there! And you might notice Santa hanging around in the forums and gallery!


Then head over to two little pixels! With your $10 order, this beautiful collab is automatically added to your cart!



I had a lot of fun working with it! I recently made my first photo book using a free code from Shutterfly, and as I had to make it quickly (because I waited until the last minute, as usual), I had to just throw things together. It came out nice, but because I know nothing about bleed and all that, the pages are a little off center. And because all my layouts are single-page, a lot of the pages don't match very well. So, I vowed to make more two-page layouts in the future. Here's my first one.

Page one...

Page two...

and the two combined!


And check out the sweet December 2010 Gold Member kit at DST. It was made by my friend Shen. I absolutely loved playing with this kit!



Here is what I made.


I hope this post finds you well! And I plan to be writing much more over the next few weeks! (((hugs)))

Nancie Rowe Janitz joined up with Aja Abney to make this beautiful Christmas kit. I loved playing with it!



I also was itching to use one of these frames from creashens that I have fallen in love with.


And here is what I ended up with.
