dog..

i love to think

beyond the paper

what can it do

not what it is

i love to bring it to life

allow it to create it's own

feel..it's own life

sometimes when you are stuck

let the paper decide

let the patterns and colors

blend and make its own beautiful

I created this fun layout with a bit of Little Yellow Bicycle.  I loved the colors and even more I loved the textures.  The weight of this paper allows you to create in many ways.  This little layout "pops" off the page and makes you want to feel the layout.  By building the layers and placing a few pop dots in the perfect spots, it now brings it to life.

Thanks for checking it out

be creative everyday!

a faithful companion

life is.....

life is in the details.

life is in the perfect color combinations.

life is in the blends.

life is in the layers.

life is in the rough edges.

life is in the bent pages.

life is in worn moments.

life in the the loose threads.

life is in the tiny bits.

life is in the imperfections.

life is in the luv.

isn't it just beautiful?

My 15 minutes of fame.....

a quiet little celebration....

In February 2010...Scrapbook Trends published a couple of my little old layouts.

I was very excited to be published for the first time, and I was very proud. It was one of my goals to accomplish!

It was really cool to see me in a store, and both of the layouts are very special to me. Page 26, "Love who you Love" and page 65 "Sweet Pea".

The first one is music based and the second one shows how I love to include lots of elements for texture, this used fabric...

In my wildest dreams I'd never thought to be chosen, but it is real and we are plenty thrilled.

So there you have it my 15 minutes of fame....

I realize to some people it is an everyday occurrence, but for me, I rarely like to put myself out there. Look at this crazy blog thing for example. It is not easy to jot something on it or to share for example. Don't get me wrong, I love having this blog, it is fun and it is very good for me. But really is anyone out there?

The publication came at a great time for me personally,with my recovery from the surgery still underway, it helped to pry me out of bed and start getting back to living. With that we celebrate.

On the day the magazine came out I was grateful, to have a little something to celebrate!!

Today I just thought I'd share my news that still makes me smile......
