I've got bad news and I've got good news. For the past month I have had the privilege and honor of been a guest on Libby's creative team. Her kits and designs are awesome and sooo much fun to create with~! But the bad news is that my time is up. Insert major pouty face here =( The good news is that I have made some new friends and learned lots of new design techniques from seeing all their amazing layouts. I know I will keep buying her kits cause she is just amazing! But wait...there is even more good news! Insert happy face here =) For the month of November I am a going to be a guest on Chrissy W's creative team! Chrissy makes awesome templates that I use quite a bit in my designing! So I am looking forward to making even more new friends and learning even more new techniques. So I thought it appropriate to show off both these awesome designers with this layout of Meg & Jeff at Halloween last year. The kit is Libby's and the template is Chrissy's... see what happens when you combine two amazing designers...total and complete awesomeness~!!! =)
Soooooo once again Michael borrowed my car and once again he crashed it! I'm not sure if he gets distracted playing with all the bells & whistles or just WHAT he is doing. But while pulling into the garage he missed the brake and crushed the front end and then he decided to back up with the door OPEN and missed the brake again and ran into the front of his car~! I am trying to take this all in stride because in the grand scheme of things... it is just after all a car and Michael was not hurt...except for his pride...but I am going to think twice before I let him borrow my car again~! =)
Here are some pictures of Jim & Cassie at an 80's Night at their Melting Pot...more kit goodness from my girl Nikki =) I REALLY hope Michael & I did not dress like this but if we did...I am sure glad that clothing and hair styles have changed for the better! Of course that is what we thought when we left the 70's Disco phase...hahaha =)
My girl Nikki's mojo has returned and she is back designing kits...woohoo~!! This layout was made from her Prince Ribbit kit which is ~toadly awesome~ hahaha...and Todd you know I love you but this photo just cracks me up~!!!!!!!!!! =) Embarassing my bubba on the world wide web...just one more service I perform~! =)
Ben’s Bells are beautiful ceramic wind chimes that symbolize kindness and its power in healing. The process of making them started as a way for Jeanette and Dean to cope after the tragic death of their infant son, Ben. The therapeutic effect of working with clay as well as the power of being surrounded by people talking and working toward a common goal was truly transforming. They decided to make hundreds of the Bells and distribute them randomly in their community to encourage the kindness that they had so depended on to get through each day. Since Ben's death, it was that kindness of others, strangers and friends that had helped them begin to heal and they wanted to find a way to pass on that kindness and to help others in the process.
I love this picture of Meg showing off her culinary skills with her sweet potato casserole....soooo cute =) And the cute page is part of my girl Paula's Quick Page Punkin Patch kit...all I had to do was slap in a photo...add some journaling...a title and viola...done~! This kind of scrapbooking makes ME smile =)

One summer Meg got the amazing opportunity to attend ~Ballet Intensive From Moscow~ where she got to study with dancers from the Bolshoi and even perform in Giselle with them. So what better kit to use to scrapbook that than Amy's new Russian Art Inspired Kits~! Love the bold bright colors and the little matruska dolls =) As for your day today...I hope you DANCE~! =)
If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together, there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart, I’ll always be with you. Winnie the Pooh
Hard to imagine that Michael & I will be married 30 years this December....time flies when you are having fun~! This picture was taken at the infamous Williams' Family Reunion in Spokane this summer... aren't we cute? =) The layout is using yet another one of Krystal's awesome kits...the girl just keeps 'em coming! This kit is called Lil' Stinker...which you have to admit is a weird name to use for a love layout =) but the Type A person in me always has to match part of the clothes to the background paper. Wonder what will happen when nothing matches? Guess that gives me an excuse to go shopping...woohoo~! I hope your day doesn't stink and is filled with love =)
We had a ~hoot~ of a good time visiting with Jim this past weekend. Got to go to one of his fav restaurants on Friday night and then watch a stunt show! Saturday we spent the day at the Pima Air & Space museum exploring all the planes and memorabilia they had on display there. That night we were invited to dinner at Cassie's parents house...mmmmmmmmm good~! and then we all went to a melodrama...laughed so hard my sides ached =) Sunday we went to Jim's new church and then out to brunch and then the long drive home =( much too short of a visit but it was great to see him again and get my hug quota in til November. Thanks for the fun time buddy bud...it was a hoot...love ya and miss ya already~!
This month I have the privilege and honor of being a guest creative team member for Libby Weifenbach....can you say totally awesome~!!! =) I fell in love with her products before when she worked on some collaborations with Krystal...ok...so she ROCKS~! and now I get to create with her goodies. Talk about a kid in a candy store...ok a woman in a scrapbooking store...same diff~! so look for some new and different layouts this month as I spread my wings and try out all sorts of new creative ideas with Libby's rockin' kits~! =)
This kit is part of a Faith Sisters Collaboration Kit that sponsors World Vision....love that~! I love when I can purchase items I want/need and the money goes to a good cause...makes me truly happy =) I adore the measuring tape ribbon...such a unique element~! And some day I truly hope to measure up to be even half the amazing woman that my mom is~!!
