I sure miss this sweet baby girl. I am so thankful for facetime, but it's not the same as being there with her. Its been 4 long months since I was last able to kiss her sweet face and hug her. Some days are easier than others, but life goes on and while I wish I could keep all my children/grandchildren with me, I cannot. She is doing well and that is what is important.

pp: Elle's Studio and Fancy Pants Designs (using July kits from The Scrap Room)

wood: Elle's studio and Simple Stories

twine

enamel dots: I made them from Perler beads :)

a summer story {layout}

I have the honor of being the Guest Designer for The ScrapRoom this month, and today I am going to share a layout I created using this Elle's Studio Page Kit from the July 2016 Flavors of the Month kit. (and yes, this is also a slightly delayed post. There will be several more posts over the next two weeks.  ;) )

I loved this kit! This is my favorite layout that I created with this great kit.

For the details visit this post on The ScrapRoom blog. :)

Tune in tomorrow for another layout using one of the awesome July TSR kits!

whale of a tale {card}

I have been so neglectful in maintaining my blog for all of my projects, so for the next two-ish weeks I am going to focus on catching up to several projects that are recent, but a bit older.

Today I will start with a card that I created for Perfect Paper Crafting early last month (there are 6 of them in this particular series).

For all the details of this card you can visit this post on the Perfect Paper Crafting blog.

Hello {card} and Smile {box}

Hello! :) I am a few days late with this post, so please excuse my tardiness. Ashlyn had surgery on Wednesday and ended up being unexpectedly admitted until Friday evening. That's my girl- always keeping us on our toes. ;) She is resting at home now and feeling much better.

Onto the fun stuff- I am thrilled to announce that I have been selected as a Guest Designer for Trendy Twine! My month will be September, so stay tuned for some fun twine projects.

Until then, here are two projects I created using the Totally White Bakers Twine (it's on sale so snag it up!).

I cut dozens of strips of twine and glued them to a piece of cardstock. I added the die cut piece on top and then adhered to a card base. A little time consuming, but the end result was well worth it.

Hello card supplies:

Totally White Bakers Twine- Annie's Paper Boutique

cardstock and card base: Hobby Lobby

patterned paper: Simple Stories

sticker: American Crafts

Die: Tim Holtz

sequins: Craftin Desert Divas

Smile box supplies:

Happy 4th of July!

It's the first Monday in July which means it's time for a new sketch from The Memory Nest. Make It Monday No. 63 is live and it's a fun one!

This month there will be 4 sketches, one each week.

I splurged last month and purchased a Brother Scan N Cut 2, which is what I used to cut the arrows (my first time using it). I have been wanting a cutting machine for years and finally took the plunge. I am so excited about all the fun new things I am going to be able to do with it.

Here is my layout for this awesome sketch:

supplies:

cardstock: Coredinations

pp: Simple Stories (a kit from The Scrap Room)

stickers: Arctic Frog, My Mind's Eye, and Jillibean Soup

dies: Tim Holtz

Mists: Shimmerz and OA
