Still here.....

Hi Everyone
Well, I have been busy, but have not yet taken photo's or You Tubed my latest.   I did another mini, and a mini-mini.  I will post soon.   I am also trying to figure out a website......    that is taking longer and is more challenging for me.   I am confident I will figure it out though.....   if anyone has any tips that can make it easier I am open to hearing them!    I plan to have a page of "Spring Cleaning" items for sale-- gently used items or even new items from my craft space that I am no longer or just never used.   Also area for projects made for sale, and of course, a space for any custom requests.   In addition to an area that will be devoted to a special area very important to me which is Life Books for children in foster care.   I will feature some that I make and donate to foster care agencies I am aware of, as well as create custom ones for individual kids/families.   I can't wait to share this new adventure which takes me deeper into my love of papercrafting and documenting, as well as mixes with my life as a clinician, foster parent and advocate for children in foster care!    More to come soon!

Hugs

Some new cards.....

We are having  a managers team retreat tomorrow at work and one of our "ice breakers" is to share three  somethings about ourselves.  We can bring items or handmade things, photo's or songs.... whatever you can think of.   Soooo, although this group knows I paper-craft, I thought I would bring each of them cards made personally for them.   Their personalities each inspired the card I created for them.   I also hand wrote a personal note on the inside.  Thanks for stopping by!

Have a great day :)

Fourth and final Scrappy Bowl Challenge from Kathryn at the Scrap Beach

Ok, here it is, the fourth challenge.  This one had to include flags (or penenants, etc).  I did a double layout of when Noah learned to ride his bike.   I made a pocket (again at the top of the page so it can still be accessed through a page protector) to include the details.  I love the wheel paper (from K & Co.)  I had a paper with bikes, but it was just too busy.   I may add some stamped bikes later, but I like the clean look as it is now. 

Scrappy Bowl Challenge #3 from Kathryn on Life on the Scrap Beach

Challenge #3-- protective layers.  I used many layers of paper (an older BoBunny collection that I only had one full page of and a lot of scraps.  I kept them because I loved the colors and patterns of the collection), stickers, journaling tags, flowers and more fussy cut paper.  I really like this layout and especially the subjects of the photo!   So cute! 

Stay tuned for challenge #4.........

Scrappy Bowl Challenge #2 from Kathryn at Life on the Scrap Beach

Here is my entry for challenge #2.   Using superbowl team colors- Red, White and Blue.   Lucky for me, I had not done fourth of July pics yet (in fact, I've been so busy doing mini's, I haven't done many 12x12 layouts at all).   Here is my entry:

The paper is from BoBunny and I included a pull out journaling folio at the top (so it is still accessible with a page cover) which describes our fireworks experience as a family!

Stay tuned for #3......

Scrappy Bowl Challenges from Kathryn at Life on the Scrap Beach

My first entry.  Number one had to involve a grid.   I used grid paper for my journaling and also a decorative piece of paper for some added interest which also has a very small grid on it.    I am catching up on the year 2004.   It seems I only scrapped a few photos from that year, yet I have TONS of super cute ones!  More to come.......
