Creative Scrappers Reveal Day!


 My little squoosh is on the move!  She is not quite walking, but she will be SOON!  I love following her around watching her show off her new moves.  She is so proud...so active...so fun!

I used the new October Afternoon, Woodland Park collection.  I LOVE the Navy blue!  It is sooooo my new favorite!

Check out the great sketch!  Isn't it fun?  Be sure to stop by Creative Scrappers and see all the lovely new layouts inspired by this sketch.  If you are feeling that itch to create, this sketch would be a great jump start!

Have a lovely, relaxing, and creative Sunday!

No Office Job for Me!

A while ago, I posted a "before" photo of my kindergarten classrooms and promised to upload the "after" photos.  Well, it took me awhile, but I finally got a chance last week to do a little scrapping.  

Before:

After: 
I decided to use October Afternoon's, 9 to 5 collection.  I love this collection, but have had a hard time figuring how to use it.

Then I starting looking at the motifs and images in the collection and thought, "I am NOT an office-job kind of girl!"   And that is the direction I decided to go in.
I love being active. challenged, and creative.  I am SO glad I am not confined to a desk in a gloomy office building.  It makes me happy to walk into my colorful classroom every day.  My surroundings are bright and cheerful amd my little "co-workers" are the same.  I feel very blessed to do what I do.

Creative Scrappers Sketch #226

It is reveal day over at Creative Scrappers!  Be sure to stop by the blog and check out all the gorgeous layouts inspired by sketch #226!  

Here is my take on the sketch:

This is my little sweetie, Emery, celebrating her 1st Birthday, with family.  I used a mixture of Basic Grey and October Afternoon.  Love this color combination! 
This sketch was a lot of fun to work with and left room for interpretation.  I love that in a sketch! <3 p="p">

Why not give this sketch a try?
