<br />
<a href="http://comeongetcrafty.net/"> Come On get Crafty</a> is a new online store that is owned by Nicole Sower. She has been busy stocking the <a href="http://comeongetcrafty.net/">shop</a> and it looks like there is so much more awesomeness coming this month, including the new Webster's Pages Sweet Notes line by Allison Kreft (my new must have!), Basic Grey's Mint julep line and Lilly Bee's Sweet Shoppe. There is also a five dollar shipping code (<a href="http://shessocrafty.typepad.com/blog/coming-soon/"> 5SHIP</a> ) now through April 12th. Oh,and her<a href="http://comeongetcrafty.net/pages/creative-team"> creative team</a> is amazing! I think you will recognize three very familiar and friendly faces. ;) Love those girls, so much talent there. I can't wait to see what fun they have in store.<br />
<br />
I am so honored that Nicole wanted to feature some of my work.<br />
She asked me what my favorite creation was and for me that is always the page that I just finished. lol!<br />
So here is that one:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihosG_OEUUNoz0-Flyocb1vZ-i4eA0rk97iOOSa5Q0wL9nKnvr15B2cJDqQPY2bds-MYdcYe3-wqKtpZZJsLRuj3MhPSkSmCD_JtXy31_Ml2nOr0zf3faISzLy5MVvBkdR8G3uVL_A-uj4/s1600/mom+glitz+and+maggie+holmes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihosG_OEUUNoz0-Flyocb1vZ-i4eA0rk97iOOSa5Q0wL9nKnvr15B2cJDqQPY2bds-MYdcYe3-wqKtpZZJsLRuj3MhPSkSmCD_JtXy31_Ml2nOr0zf3faISzLy5MVvBkdR8G3uVL_A-uj4/s640/mom+glitz+and+maggie+holmes.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
The photo is of my mom when she was either 1 or 2? I absolutely love the Maggie Holmes flower paper and I thought it was just perfect for this photo and check out that little bow. It is so pretty and so dainty. It is also part of the Maggie Holmes line for Crate Paper. I won the package of bows by leaving a comment on the <a href="http://shessocrafty.typepad.com/">Come On Get Crafty blog</a> when they were having a giveaway. Thanks Nicole!<br />
I also used some of Glitz Design's Love You Madly for this layout and used my cameo to cut the feathers and words from vellum. Finally if you look closely you can see the sweet little flowers that I stitched around the edge of the 8x8 paper.<br />
<br />
This next page is also one of my faves. ;)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWQPjDg-G2-09ZywP_ovuQDPENgDwzrUiICQIDxenLs05o2DRGZ_8yqLPjqRrZNoAqnkGAYbFL83wu6ewAjFi2UDD8TIpSEVliG7NgPaUw7XsEVRogoW_BBePocp08h3nefbFQOYu0oOu9/s1600/untitled-2-008.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="632" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWQPjDg-G2-09ZywP_ovuQDPENgDwzrUiICQIDxenLs05o2DRGZ_8yqLPjqRrZNoAqnkGAYbFL83wu6ewAjFi2UDD8TIpSEVliG7NgPaUw7XsEVRogoW_BBePocp08h3nefbFQOYu0oOu9/s640/untitled-2-008.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
This page is made using mostly Glitz Design's Uncharted Waters and a few pieces from the Maggie Holmes line. The letters of the "hello" are AC remarks by Amy Tangerine and the thickers are called<br />
Kitten. The ribbon is also from Amy Tangerine and the stamps and geo tag are from Studio Calico.<br />
<br />
Here is one last page:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeWyj0XN-xzpvCva8Y3EnfCzsDiPlR_-5-BacqVQYTpKmH8oUPFt-FA8NjLiMC9oWu_4pSM0wRMTyqH4mufn2BRW_TJhh8g7uAid4DH538p4FB0sJBGN8RmxsvvbrwdgMPiSRXrPpffr6J/s1600/DSC_0366-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeWyj0XN-xzpvCva8Y3EnfCzsDiPlR_-5-BacqVQYTpKmH8oUPFt-FA8NjLiMC9oWu_4pSM0wRMTyqH4mufn2BRW_TJhh8g7uAid4DH538p4FB0sJBGN8RmxsvvbrwdgMPiSRXrPpffr6J/s640/DSC_0366-2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
This one is going in my "this is me" album and is a photo of Kim Walker. She is my favorite singing artist on my playlist right now. So I took a screen shot of the album playing and enlarged it. I am pretty happy with the way the page turned out.<br />
I used quilting thread to stitch the triangle border and most of the layout is made using a kit from Studio Calico.<br />
<br />
I'll post more pages soon...<br />
<br />
Nicole, thank you so much for featuring my work today!<br />
<br />
Happy weekend everybody.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I have loved <a href="http://www.chanel.com/en_US/fragrance-beauty/Fragrance-N%C2%B05-N%C2%B05-88145">this</a> perfume for as long as I can remember. I guess you could say it is my signature scent. But I also love<a href="http://www.chanel.com/en_US/fragrance-beauty/Fragrance-Coco-COCO-88331"> Coco</a> by Chanel and my newest fave is <a href="http://www.chanel.com/en_US/fragrance-beauty/Fragrance-Coco-Noir-COCO-NOIR-130946?WT.srch=1">Coco Noir</a>. I already have the other two but I am going to have to wait until Mother's Day to add the<a href="http://www.chanel.com/en_US/fragrance-beauty/Fragrance-Coco-Noir-COCO-NOIR-130946?WT.srch=1"> Noir</a> to my collection.<br />
<br />
Speaking of "this is me", there are two pretty exciting things that I have to share. The first is <a href="http://www.studiocalico.com/">Studio Calico's </a>April class is going to be... you guessed it. A <a href="http://www.studiocalico.com/shop/classrooms/this-is-me">"This is Me"</a> class taught by the fun, quirky and very talented<a href="http://www.lexi-bridges.blogspot.com/"> Lexi Bridges</a> ( I hope you don't mind me calling you quirky, <a href="http://www.lexi-bridges.blogspot.com/">Lexi</a>. It is meant as a total compliment).<br />
<br />
What perfect timing because it will go right along with what I am already working on and it will give me more ideas to add to my album. How cool is that!<br />
<br />
Next my "this is me" page:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
was chosen as the <a href="http://swatscrapwarriorsadvancedtraining.blogspot.ca/2013/02/and-winners-are.html">winner</a> for the <a href="http://swatscrapwarriorsadvancedtraining.blogspot.ca/2013/02/drill-1-all-about-you.html">"All About You" challenge</a> over at the fun new <a href="http://swatscrapwarriorsadvancedtraining.blogspot.ca/">SWAT</a> challenge site. I was so thrilled and honored to find out that they chose that page! Thanks so much <a href="http://swatscrapwarriorsadvancedtraining.blogspot.ca/">SWAT Team</a>!<br />
<br />
Ok, that is enough "me's" to last "me" a lifetime! ;)<br />
What about you? Do you think your fam would appreciate a book that is all about you? I know I would be thrilled to have such a book about my mom (who passed away when I was just a young child).<br />
Just something to think about...<br />

Must work on that very soon. But for now I'll just post a few pages to ease me back into the blogging world.<br />

The above page is for a few challenges. The first challenge was over at Shanna Noel's<a href="http://shannanoel.blogspot.com/"> blog</a>. If you have never visited her <a href="http://shannanoel.blogspot.com/">blog</a>, you really should and prepare to be inspired! Shanna has been blessed with incredible creativity and her work blows me away! The other challenge is the first challenge over at <a href="http://swatscrapwarriorsadvancedtraining.blogspot.com/2013/02/drill-1-all-about-you.html">SWAT</a>, a new site that looks like it will be very fun! Go and check it out <a href="http://swatscrapwarriorsadvancedtraining.blogspot.com/2013/02/drill-1-all-about-you.html">here</a>. The challenge is called "All About You" and since I am starting an album called "this is me", this challenge was perfect. This layout is going to be the title page for my album.<br />

<br />
the first page is one that i just made and the second is a layout i did after our 2008 trip.<br />

i love all of the big photo LOs that i've been seeing in the galleries. so i thought i might try one myself and in the process i think i found a new fave thing.... washi tape pendants. i used a <a href="http://freckledfawn.com/products/airmail-washi-tape-aqua-and-white">freckled fawn washi</a> for the bird pendant and the <a href="http://freckledfawn.com/products/polka-dot-washi-tape-teal-scattered-dots">freckled fawn</a> tape that came with the<a href="http://www.studiocalico.com/"> SC</a> july add on, <a href="http://www.studiocalico.com/kits/twisty-slide">twisty slide</a> for the second flag, i am definitely going to make a bunch more of them with different tapes and in different styles styles.<br />
oh, and the pretty tab just under the pendants is from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/ScarletBirdDesigns">ursula's etsy's</a>.</div>

i love the photo on this page of jake and me. it was taken 2 weeks ago. as some of you know, jake is in a 15 month program for troubled teens called Teen Challenge in Branson Missouri. he has been there since last july and is doing absolutely awesome!!!
his freshman year he became extremely rebellious and would not obey ANY rules. (many more details but it doesn't matter any more). after MUCH prayer and seeking we made the heart wrenching decision to send him to Teen Challenge. After just one week he was a changed person. he said that "the peer pressure was just too hard to break away from when you are right in the middle of it" and he thanked us for sending him there.
my boy is becoming even more amazing than he was before he started rebelling. he is growing and maturing in the LORD and his dad and i could not be more proud of him.
we only get to see him every 2 months so we cherish our time with him!!
i think this photo captures the sparkle in jake's personality and that is why i love it so much!

the photo on this page is of jake, jd (my husband)and jd's father taken in 2010. i was waiting for just the right paper to come along to scrap it. when i saw the map paper in the march <a href="http://www.studiocalico.com/kits/add-on-patterned-paper-march-2012">studio calico add on</a> i knew it was perfect for this photo. i love the new <a href="http://www.cratepaper.com/storyteller.html">Crate Paper Story Teller line</a> and the <a href="http://www.studiocalico.com/kits/story-hour">Studio Calico March Kit</a> was full of it.
here are the last pages i sent to jake. the first two i used the <a href="http://www.studiocalico.com/kits/story-hour">SC March kit</a> and the last is a page i did in 2007.

i usually do a few pages to send to jake and then a few to give to my mom for the scrapbook i am making her. this one is of her father who was an awesome photographer. the photo was taken in the 1940's and the <a href="http://www.studiocalico.com/kits/story-hour">the SC march kit</a> could not have been more perfect for this page.

i was going through my past layouts to pick one to send to jake this week and i came across this one:
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

the photos were taken in 2007.we were at the beach and jake had done something we had asked him not to do.so we put him in time out. i captured these pics with a telephoto lens. i think he looks adorable even when he is angry. just don't tell him that! ;)

i have <a href="http://julie-enjoyingthejourney.blogspot.com/2011/12/memory-lane.html">posted this layout before</a> and it says: be careful out there my beloved son. the the scripture that is up in the cloud is 1Peter 5:8 which says:
Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith...
thanks <a href="http://underscarletbirdswing.blogspot.com/2012/02/psa-and-layout-ive-been-dying-to-share.html">ursula</a> for the post. it is always good to be reminded of these things.

i used four of the <a href="http://www.jennibowlinstudioinspiration.blogspot.com/2011/12/jenni-bowlin-fiskars-sweetness.html">new jbs punches</a> for the page above. my favorite is the jester border punch. the others i used are the ticket border punch (just to the right of jakes photo),the tab punch and the bird punch.

this is where the smashing comes in. i finally caved to the whole smash book thing. but i am using mine as more of a warm up book to get my creative juices flowing. i watched a video made by <a href="http://dinastamps.typepad.com/ponderings/">dina wakley</a> for <a href="http://networkedblogs.com/sQAgF">nat kalbach's creative summit</a>. in it <a href="http://dinastamps.typepad.com/ponderings/">dina</a> showed us ways to get motivated to create by using a warm up book.
the above photo is one of the pages in my smash(warm up)book. i'm thinking of using this image on a scrapbook page and now that i've practiced i think i want to changed it up a bit.

here is one of the first pages in my book.the great thing about these books are you can do anything you want and not worry if it is going to mess up your scrapbook page. total creative freedom. i love that!
thanks so much for stopping by and i hope you have a creative weekend! just don't punch or smash anyone.;) leave that for the paper.juliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12461995480971620358noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7061942818426213753.post-69593340380007533692012-01-30T13:27:00.000-08:002012-04-30T22:07:46.485-07:00a page and a boyhave you all seen the <a href="http://jbsmercantileforum.ning.com/">new customer gallery</a> at <a href="http://www.jbsmercantile.com/">jbs</a>? they have a contest going on, that you can read about <a href="http://www.jennibowlinstudioinspiration.blogspot.com/2012/01/jbs-mercantile-february-peeks.html">here</a>.
