One of my favorite things to create are these frames. They are white canvas to start. When I am done I have a beautiful little something to share. The opening is a 4x6 which I like because you don't have to adjust the photo size beyond the basic developing. I have made many of these treasures in my day and no two are alike no matter how hard I try.

This one is hands down my favorite. I can't part with it. It is created with the always lovely Crate Paper. What I love about it are, the colors and the textures. It is inked, painted, and misted. The fibers and the scrabble pieces are vintage. Got to have a touch of vintage here and there..

If you'd like to check out a few of my other frames pop over to my Esty shop, maybe you'd love to have one for someone special. Note that someone special could be you too. :-)

Thanks for sharing one of my favorite things.....

fill a treasure.....

I love my bowls.....you'll find it is one of my favorite things to collect.... A Bowl....a wonderful addition to any home...

Oh the things you can do with a bowl...hold delicious foods, beautiful treasures, or just adore and decorate and space you have..

I love to add them to my studio and fill them with embellies, chipboard, or tools while I working project...A bowl can be a wonderful partner in studio while your creating a lifelong treasure..

I thought I'd share this one today because this is a white stark frozen cold kinda day.......Simple cold, with no end to the cold weather insight......

I challenge you to create something warm, work on a warm vacation, or something springy,may do....either way find a warm cup of joe and cocoa. Stay in stay warm and enjoy the comfort of your home and all that Stash you have of supplies...........

Yesterday my favorite UPS man stopped by and delivered a fantastic little kit from StudioCalico... you got to check them out. LOVE IT LOVE IT.....can't wait to jump in the create away......First thing I did of course was drop my new little favorite accessories in a bowl and they are excitedly waiting to make something great....

Hey make it a great day---stay warm--be creative..................

Grateful............

Grateful....Forever Grateful.....for the light that shines in your eyes!!Your beautiful spirit......



This LO is one of my favs....a simple Layout that jumps out at me and hopefully you too...If you'd like to see the entire LO check it out on 2peas in my gallery....



I found a piece of box from the holidays and peeled away and found the look I needed!!! It gave a great texture and dimension to add to an already great photo. Lots of layers, a little vintage dictionary page is a must, and fantastic colors jump out of the page to me.... Often we do a million pages , then there is one that stops you and you appreciate your own talent, without anyone else, at that moment you know your pretty good at what you love ....and you are grateful for the ability to share, to treasure, and to mark the moments....

I have decided that not every page needs to "write home about" cause frankly not everything in life is to write home about :)..All we need to do is create a little something to reflect on life in our eyes..we all want to live forever, and with everything we do and create hopefully a part of our spirit, will......so think about sharing the good and not so good of our lives, we only get one..............-L.

toooo cold to create..............

Toooo cold to create....never!!!

A warm and cozy pic to just get my create thoughts a moving...

Yesterday it rained at 20 degrees--impossible you say, not where we are and to top it off this morning we are -5.8 and 2inches of ICE...

One might find this to be a bad thing I on the other hand find it to be the most creative of days!!!

Where we are all held up at home and just finding great ideas to work with....

Hopefully you are all lucky enough to be "no travel advised", sit down and create something good...re-purpose something with a little ink :)

"No travel advised" who makes this stuff up, ice and flipped over cars shouldn't stop you if you happen to run out of supplies.

I say today is an Oreo Dt Coke kinda day!!! Be good...
