I Can Sew!

Even though I didn't blog much in Dec. I still worked on a few projects! 

I was all prepared to do a great tutorial on the new stockings I made! 

I even took the before pictures! I know, I always get to excited to make a project,

 and forget the before pics. This time I did it, but can you believe

 I can not find the pics anywhere!!!

So, you just get the finished project! hahahh!

I bought shirts, from goodwill and made new Christmas Stockings!

It was so much fun, and a little frustrating, but I did it! and love it!

What do you think?

 When I found this little red dress, I knew the fabric was perfect for a stocking!

and the green with little white polka dots was just tooo sweet!

This one is Logan's, he wanted to make sure it was not girly at all!

Okay, so honestly, I was down to the day before Christmas Eve, 

and Had to get this one done.  I rushed it a bit, but I still like it! 

Hope you enjoyed this fun little project!

Lots of Love,

Everything is going to be OK #9 & #10

I have always loved "Wish Flowers" that's what the kids call them. 

 It is so much fun to close your eyes, blow the flower, and make a wish. 

 Opening your eyes and being surrounded by hundreds of possibilities floating all around you,

 makes your heart beat a little faster.  You wonder if your wish will make it to 

wherever wishes go to be granted and you hope and dream.

 

So here is just a little reassurance that your dreams can come true, 

and that you can make it happen.  

The word wishes is in chipboard with glitter! that makes it so, well magical!

I had so much fun with this one! hope you like it too!

Sometimes, when we feel like there is not a new idea to be found, 

even in our little pinky finger, I want you to remember....

~You Have a Creative Soul ~

Just Know that God made you who you are.

and that is all that you Need.

God knows your Heart and your Soul, 

He is in control, and he gave you your Talents and Gifts.

Have a Beautiful Day~

Lots of Love,

Everything is going to be OK #6 & #7

 WOW how I've missed you all!  I have been so more than busy lately! 

and now it is the Holiday Season, which just means there is less time in the day right?!

 I have had a chance to do some creating, just haven't made the time to show it off.

 I miss sharing with you. So, here are a few new pages for my book.

Sorry there is only one pic of each....

I love the wrinkled old map look. It is really easy to get this look with any pattern paper. 

You simple wad the paper up into a ball. Yep, crumple it up like you are going to throw it away.

 then unfold it and lay it flat, sand the top so that the color comes off the surface.

 How cool is that! I know, I know, now you have to go try it!

and here is a page I just finished today...

Sometimes in life have you ever found yourself in a place that you just don't understand, somewhere you never imagined yourself to be. Maybe, you just need to be reminded that you are where you are suppose to be. You might not know why yet, but God has a plan for you, and maybe able to learn from this, or use this experience in your life to help others. Trust in God, focus on him, and know you can get through it.


Lots of Love,

Spa Birthday

Okay, so sometimes you just have to make a pink and girly page....

and a spa birthday is a perfect time to do just that!

some of you might have seen this layout, but now I have pictures on it, and that really does make a difference

 A long title is a perfect opportunity to mix and match sticker letters! If you can't deal with each letter being different, just make each word different, and then you create a great contrast and interest.

 Yes, I actually wrote out my journaling by hand! It doesn't happen often, but it does let me finish a page faster. and writing along the curve is less difficult by hand. It can be done on the computer though.
hahah but once you have your layout done then that is almost impossibe! haha


Lots of Love,

Everything is going to be OK #5

 Well, I am totally using up as many sticker letters as I can! hahah!

This book is going to be full of quotes, sayings, and encouraging words,

 so my sticker letter binder is out all the time. 

It's a good thing, because it was feeling a bit neglected lately 

and just a bit jealous of my printer.

So, now that I am making them play nicely together, I love the result!

Here is #5....

 We all need strength, and if we focus on God we have that strength, even to thrive!

 I used pop dots in different thicknesses to add layered dimension to the tree branches

and the crystal stickers just make it shine!!

 Hope you all know you can thrive too!

Lots of Love,
