My Mind's Eye love

Good morning!

Today I have a layout to share using some wonderful My Mind's eye papers.  Last year I bought a My Mind's Eye calendar set to put together and give as a gift.  I tucked it away and forgot about all about it!  So a few weeks ago I found it and since 2013 is over I thought it would be cute to create layouts out of the calendar pages. This kit is so neat, it gives you all the goodies to make it the calendar..ribbon, buttons and really cute embellishments.  Oh and I just happened to have a My Mind's Eye paper pad that has 180 sheets and they all match the calendar perfect!

This is a layout that I finished yesterday. I wanted to create a nice sunny and fun layout for Spring.  I LOVE using old book pages on my layouts. They work so well with almost anything. I also love distressing my layouts! Of course I love lots of flowers:)  This little cutie is going in my Etsy store.

Thanks for your visit today!

New Year Resolutions

Hi Friends!

Do you have any New Year Resolutions this year?  I don't usually buy into the whole New Year  Resolutions thing, but this year I thought I would give it a try. So here are mine... Read 80 books (read 70 last year), turn anything negative that I feel or happens to me into a positive, (example..I don't feel good today..positive would be I might feel bad but I am alive, healthy and able to do what I want!) work harder in my Etsy store, cut my family's spending way down. I think these are goals are something that I can achieve. The not spending will be a bit hard for me, but I am going to really try!

That is all for now, I may add more later:)

I would love to hear your's if you have any!

I found this a while back on Pintrest and I read it a lot. I have shared this before, but I thought I would share again.

Thank you so much for your visit!

Peaceful...

Hi friends!

I have been having a bit of stress lately, plus not feeling to good so when I found this picture it brought me peace. I so need to sit and be still in a place like that. I have not been creating in my scrapbook room and I don't like how that makes me feel. It just seems as if everything is coming at me at once. I hope this passes soon and I can get back to normal. In the meantime, I will picture myself here walking along this beautiful path in the forest!

Thank you for your visit!

The Christmas layouts keep coming!

Hi friends!

I hope you all had a wonderful and stress free Thanksgiving.  Our turkey day was great, we had all the family over minus a brother/brother-in-law. We did things a little different this year. We had a pot luck Thanksgiving and it was wonderful! Stress free!
I have SO many things to be thankful for, my husband, son, daughter, grandchildren, mom the list goes on and on,  I am one lucky woman!

I have not been able to get back to crafting yet, but I do have a layout to share with you.  I completed this last week.

First I have to say that this is my favorite Christmas layout that I have done so far.  I love Santa giving the child a present embellishment. I cut that out using my Cricut.
Everything came together so easy with this layout, I didn't have to fuss over it. I like when that happens!

Thank you for your visit!

Project Life Inspired Christmas layout

Hi Friends!

I have another Christmas layout to share with you today. I have been going crazy creating Christmas layouts the past few weeks.  My creative juices are in over drive this time of year:)

Can I just say that I LOVE how this layout turned out. I used some left over Simple Stories journal cards to create this.  I has so much fun creating this. It was like creating 4 little picture frames. Those copper photo corners are my new favorite embellishment. It gives the layout such a finished look.

Thank you so much for your visit!

Etsy Christmas Layouts

Hi friends!

I have been very busy the last two weeks!  Been decorating the house for Christmas, shopping and working on some Christmas layouts.

These two layouts are going in my Etsy store tonight. I am SO happy with they way these turned out. I didn't struggle with them at all. That is a wonderful feeling!

I think this first one is my favorite. I love the border strip that I placed on the ribbon. I used some pop dots to give it some lift.  The Santa embellishment that I used is from Anna Griffin.

This second layout was created from a sketch that I saw a while back and it is my favorite.  I have created a lot of layouts using the sketch.  I found a wonderful Christmas book for sale at the library and I used some of the pages behind the photo mat. The Merry and Bright embellishment is from Simple Stories and I trimmed off the edge. Oh and that beautiful brown flower, well  I have been hoarding that cutie and decided that this layout needed it!  I think it looks so pretty.

Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas Layout

Hi friends!

I hope you all had a wonderful Halloween.  My Halloween was so much fun. My grandchildren came over and they looked adorable!  Pictures will be coming in the next blog post.

Meanwhile I have another layout that I made for Ebay/Etsy.  This is titled The Twelve day of Christmas. I used some wonderful book pages for the title. How cute is that Santa checking his list?  I found some beautiful Christmas picks at Hobby Lobby and used those for the flower clusters.  I think this will be my last Christmas layout. I created several layouts and 3 albums!

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Blessings,
