Us Layout

So it took me a little longer than I planned but I did it. I finally got another video up. This is a layout I did from a Kit. At the beginning of the year I signed up for Scrapbook Circle kit club. This was the Fed. Kit. Anyway, it is my first layout of my "favorite" boyfriend. I added a lot more to the layout that wasn't on the video. Didn't always remember to turn the camera on. Hope you are all having a great weekend.

Get Well Soon Card

Ok I have a card to show. I would have a layout and video to put up except that I ate some Hot Tamale candy and it tore my mouth up so bad that it hurts to talk. So I will try to finish up my video this week and maybe actually post twice this month. There was a time when I posted weekly. Here's hoping that I am getting back to that mode soon. I feel my need for creating and playing coming back more and more everyday. It's odd how life events can suck the creativity right out of you. So this is a card that I made for my "boyfriend's"(why does that word sound teenagerish to me) mother. I used the scraps that were on my desk from after creating the layout. Loved this burlap flower. Wish I could find some burlap that wasn't as thick as at Michaels. I think I would use that more often. Anyway, I hope you all had a fantastic Easter. I will be back soon with a video.

Be-Lated Valentine's Mini Album

So I'm a little late on getting this up but I have been some what scrappy lately. I made this mini album for my guy for Valentine's Day. This is a canvas and chipboard album I found at Michael's. I tried to make it look like a manly version of Valentines. This is my first time working with canvas in an album. It was fun, but I was a little unsure of how to glue things to it. Glue gun worked great. The hardest part was taking the photos. I love how it turned out and so did James. So glad I found him.OK having Blogger problems. Hope this thing posts.

Happy New Year

 First I hope you all had a great Christmas and that the New Year is full of great things. I Know its a bit late for Christmas projects, but I just got these done once Christmas was over. So I decided to post it anyway. My fabulous new fella enjoys doing wood working projects so we joined forces and came up with these Joy letters. He cute the letters out and I painted them. I love the way they turned out. I working really hard to get my scrapbooking mojo back. I do have one layout to share. I just can't seem to find any inspiration for the photos that I currently have. I did however order some new stuff and joined a kit club so hopefully the new goodies will make me want to play and get inspired.

Christmas and I know it

So my brother and his family made this great video for the Christmas program at Church. Thought I would share it. It made me laugh pretty good.

Art Journal Page

I finally felt like being crafty. I created this art journal page the other day in some of my free time. I'm moving into a place of feeling content in my life and that always makes creating come so much easier. I am really hoping my funk is gone for a long while. It helps of course that I met someone who treats me well and makes me happy. That's the basis of this page. "Unbelievable love" I had a hard time believing or excepting that someone would feel that way and not be diceptive or out to see what they could gain. Thank God I didn't push him to far away or run the other direction myself. Things are looking up.

Not Feeling It

So I have not forgotten about my blog. I just haven't been able to get myself into a crafting mode. Scrapbooking and what not is so much easier for me when I'm content in life. I'm struggling with contentment at the moment. Not feeling it at all to tell the truth. I am so ready to be at a different place where my divorce is settled and life feels normal. In the mean time I feel like I'm on auto pilot just moving from day to day. I am ready for a distraction. I keep trying to find things to do to distract me from the reality of life at the moment. It works for the most part but then there are those nights like tonight where I'm home all day and pulling out photos thinking I will scrapbook. Then it hits me. I feel a surge of emotions revolving around those memories and I don't want to remember to be honest. I don't want to think of happier times cause then the reality of my situation makes me sad.

Light at the end of the tunnel

I finished this art journal page up Sunday night. This is a pretty obvious title. Didn't feel I needed to do much journaling about it. I am simple looking forward to the light at the end of the tunnel. Life can seem at times like one long tunnel, but It's so much more rewarding to look forward to something ahead than to dwell on hurts of the past. I'm looking forward to the future and all the new things in front of me.

Melted Crayon Art

Had a great weekend with my son. Went to the beach, a bike ride and we made crayon art on canvas. I'm hoping you will be able to guess which one is mine and which one is his. I haven't been working on the art journaling to much. Just haven't felt up to it. I did start one page the other night and will share it once I get it finished. I have a few more canvases though so I just might play with that some more. Who knows what will come out next.

Turkey Day Layout

I finally got this video done. Don't have time to type much but I got my video up. Woo Hoo.
