Another great reveal over at Creative Scrappers!!!!! Please go and check them out at http://creativescrappers.blogspot.com/


Being a lover of sketches...which I consider the blue prints of a great scrapbook design, I found this one by Kristine Davidson who is also the creator of Creative Scrappers. I am on a little bit of a Glimmer Mist high so bare with my obsession for just a while longer. The layouts above and below I have used two beautiful lines by BoBunny. The flowers above are made with the retro flower punch by EK Success. If you ever have any questions about a technique or product please don't hesitate to ask. I love this craft and I looooooove sharing it!!!!!!

Another new fave is Jilliebean since they have a wide variety of all things Kraft. Seems to be a growing trend, Kraft paper that is, and I am loving it. Also Crate Paper never ceases to amaze me with their fun product lines. Below is my oldest son with his girlfriend and my daughter at his birthday dinner last year. I can't believe how much time has flown by...in another 2 1/2 months he will be 18!!!!!! I cannot not believe I am about to be the mother of an 18 year old...a man. Ughhhhh, I am filling the stir of butterflies in my stomach or maybe it is the early pangs of empty nest. Either way, I have one more year with him being at home and I am going to enjoy every minute of it!!!!

Christmas time has fallen upon us once again. This year I let the kids totally take the reigns of the tree. If you knew me, you would know that that is a hard thing to do. I am so like my mother in the sense that I am somewhat of a decor perfectionist. Anyway, I have to say, they did a great job and they had fun which is something they will remember. Gotta love that!

Little Things Make Me Happy

How was your Thanksgiving Holiday? Mine was low key but very memorable. This year was spent with just our immediate family; all the relatives are back home in Louisiana, yet it was one of the best days I have had in a long time. My kiddos came to my rescue and helped me with the prep work in the kitchen. It was so nice to be surrounded by my babies....reminded me of when I use to follow my mom around in the kitchen. I would watch everything she did while talking her ears off about all my girl issues or the latest boyfriend. To now have my own kids doing the exact same thing is so deja vu.

After that was my baby boy's birthday. Happy Birthday Caleb!!!!! He is now a tween!!!! I can't believe how much he has grown. When he was a baby I would always call him my little man. As he got older, I recognized something in him that was so unique....he had an "old soul". So today as he begins his journey towards middle school and that awkward stage of "tween-ness" (I made that up), he is still my little man with an "old soul". I love you Caleb!!!! May all your wishes come true!


"Love You BABY"....This is my oldest son Landon and his girlfriend. I LOVE Cosmo Cricket's "Earth Love" line. I thought they worked perfectly with these pictures.

Hope all of you had an awesome holiday and a restful weekend. Hugs and Happy Scrappin!!!!!!

Creative Scrappers Reveal...Sketch #79

Today is another reveal day over at Creative Scrappers!!!! Go check out the amazing sketches and get busy scrapping!!!!!

This is just an extra layout I did the other day. I so love this picture of my mom and dad. They are such a fun couple and continuously keep me laughing. Speaking of fun, I had a lot of fun playing around with this new line from Crate Paper and to add a little bit of whimsey, I made this branch with my quickutz revolution and made the leaves with stickles. I think it turned out really cute...just what I envisioned for this picture.

Hope your having a great weekend!!!!! Much love!!!!!!!!
