Ode to the leaf

I saw this little leaf on the sidewalk yesterday morning did a little dance. My favorite part of the year is almost here and I am soooo excited!!

I am finally getting back into crafting after our little move. Finally got some inspiration thanks to a cute little book (more coming soon)and thanks to some Pink Paislee goodness!! Sooo glad the "Twilight" line was picked for out design team project this month!!

Here is the first layout I created!!


More creations to come! Trying to get some good pictures of them!

Today I plan on starting my 2010 planner. I've decided to make it from scratch! I'm also going to be testing out some cute new pens I got in the mail and using some new fall EK Success goodness to make something for the house!!

UGH

Gotta work at the other job tonight and I really loath going there lately. Why cant I win the lottery. Anyway....

Just wanted to do a quick post with this pic...

This is my little basket that I have been toting all over the house with me. Sharpies, Wreck This, Colored Pencils, Some paint, and my Idea book/Sketch Book. I've been doodling and sketching alot.

Yesterday I started coming up with ideas for handmade christmas presents. I said last year that I was going to start earlier. Thinking of getting a few started tommorrow while hubby is at work.

creativity found

After being in our new place for a little over a month, I am finally getting back into creating and have found some inspiration (more about my inspiration as soon as I can mention it).

It's been a super long time since I picked up a paint brush and these past few weeks I've worked on this painting on and off. I've been spending time staring at the clouds and I have an obsession with the color yellow.
I've been wanting to share this page too! We got to play with some yummy Basic Grey for the design team at Scrapbook Cafe and I have to say it is and has always been my favorite paper line! Just love love love it all!


I created a cute little mini book too for Basic Grey month. I ::heart:: every single thing about their Urban Prairie line!






This morning I actually started a December Daily book. I was inspired by Ali's recent December Daily in July post. I will share pictures soon. The one's I took just didn't look right to me.

I decided that this book had to be smaller than the one I did last December and no fuss. Last year I had to have the perfect paper and it really took a bit out of me. I really hate that I over analyze things sometimes. I did learn a little since last year after reading Ali's last book.

For this year's, I made my front and back cover out of chipboard and pulled a bunch of Christmas paper from my scraps. Sooo much easier and it is done. Just gotta cut some pages for inside and I will bind it with my trusty bind it all after it is complete.

Off I go!!

~As always...I am loving the Craft Critique



~True Blood is on tonight....seriously good show peeps....check it out...my favorite show right now ( did I really just type the word peeps??? I need to create...I am losing it)

~That I am finally getting back to blogging....finally getting rid of some of the moving boxes (I dislike cardboard boxes at the moment)....that I will finally get to create something after work today for the first time since the move!!

spelling fun

(created using Spell With Flickr)

boxes boxes everywhere

I really can't wait till the weekend but it's not to have some fun. It's to be done with this moving stuff! Seriously, I am sooo over it!

All I wanna do is find my new very small scrap area and unpack my stuff! I am seriously in need of me time to create. (and I seriously need to get caught up on design team stuff before they kick me out)

ok....enough venting for the moment!
Hugs! I will return to the land of creating soon!

Kinda bummed!!

I haven't had much time to blog or do anything creative for some time now. Life seems to want to not let me. :( (it really feels like forever since I have been able to even check my email)

We have been really busy packing and getting ready for our move next week. The part that is really bumming me out now is that my craft room is packed and it looks like we wont have much room in the new place for my little creative area. I think I am going to lose my mind!! (seriously)

Hubby keeps promising to find a little room for me to be creative so everyone please keep your fingers crossed for me. I am hoping we make something work or I am going to have to give up my design team position and other commitments that I have just made.

In the little bit of down time that I have had here and there I have been doing alot of sketching and writing down my ideas that pop into my head. I think it's what is keeping me going!

More soon!

Lost and Loving it!!!

I am here still blog friends. I've been on a little spring break from crafting.

Been lost in the Twilight Saga...something I never thought I would say but I am actually loving the little stories these books hold to the point of obsession!! Enough for my husband to poke fun at!

I'll be back very soon with a few of the Design Team projects I have been working on.

Love,
Me

As seen on your computer

I'm going to have a new post over at Craft Critique today and it has something to do with my inspiration wall! Stop on over and check it out!!

Devil Dogs and their chocolately goodness can be deadly.

Christmas in March?

Ok....I never said I wasn't a procrastinator. Just edited my December Daily album and wanted to share a few pictures from it.

I really love this album. I went a little off the beaten path with it and really made it a great journal of time right now (well in December) for us to look back on.

The front and back cover were made from a priority mailing box that I had laying around. I think it likes being our December album instead of going to the recycling bin!

Most of the paper used was making memories FaLaLa collection. I instantly fell for them!
