JUST A LITTLE BEHIND!

Yes, its been a while since I've updated!  I'm going to try to do better!

 

BYOB (chevron) by awesome designer Nisa Fiins!  These are sooooo cool.  Its a template of a chevron  that you can clip paper into.  My paper is from The Spider Webs Mega Collection by the fabulous Carina Gardner!  She is such a multitalented artist!  Amazing talent around here!!

This was inspired by the awesome INSTAGRAM & all the different options they have to choose from to enhance your photos.

 I am taking a class called Blending & Beyond over at Jana Morton's site, Passion 2 Pixels & the above lay out is from the first lesson.

  The following 5 LO's are from jessicasprague.com's class, Digi In Deeper.  I LOVE doing this class.  I have learned so much!

 This is a template from Pink Paisley's kit Sugarland:

I have loved these pics for so long and now they are finally scrapped!  Hunter was 3!  I can't believe it bc he is now 8.  Maybe I can get caught up some day.

my truths: what are yours?

Here is my very first scrapbook layout as a CT (creative team) member for jessicasprague.com !! Nancie Rowe Janitz is a designer over at the www.jessicasprague.com store. She does a lot of very original art journaling canvases. What is art journaling you ask? I asked the same question! Its pretty much whatever you want it to be.  A collage of words, objects, pictures....whatever goes!

A while ago I was asked to speak at a church event. I spoke on excepting the TRUTHS about ourselves and learning to love who WE are. So I took some quotes from my talk & put them around the paper & then inside I scattered my own truths.

TEXT READS:
what makes you you?  we must remember that b/c of our own truths it means that we can’t have what others may.  we can look up to others but need to remember that what is attainable for them may not be for us: Be Realistic.  Ironically enough,  to learn to love ourselves means that we have to stop loving what others do to love themselves.  Embrace and love who you are no matter what others lives may seem to be.
