Saved by Grace

Faith and Hope are a daily mantra. 

I do believe that we are in fact Saved by Grace.

Color and Memories

I need color. The drab days of rain and cold get me down. I am a person who enjoys a lot of light. So, I decided to use Studio Calico's Exclusive Paper along with a favorite Basic Grey line and other goodies. I just wanted to reflect on a day that was bright and full of fun. More so, the memories of this time together with my husband is always a special time for both of us.

Hard to believe it is February already...thanks for checking in with me!

WOW, time is flying!

This year really has been a blur for me. It has flown by so quickly! I have been painting a great deal lately and sidelining my scrapping. But with this comes the consequence of delaying some projects until the end. Therefore, I am a little behind the "8" ball and will be getting caught up this weekend in between football!

I was "EXPELLED" this past week at Bad Girls and did not make it to round #5. However, I am pleased with the layouts I have created for the classes. I am still participating in the classes as this was my main goal and I plan on sticking with it until the end. Class #5 was based on the Psychology of Color. Simply incorporating neutral colors with the dominant colors within a photo. I chose a colorful photo that I took from a boat this past summer on Perdido Key Bay. I used black and white as my neutrals and kinda "scrapped out of the box" on this one. So, I thought I would share it with you! Thanks for looking and enjoy the weekend!

Christmas is around the corner...I guess I better get busy and start shopping, huh?

Foo Foo and Over the Top!

Yepper, I really went all out using up some of my scraps to create this miniature Birthday Party hat as a topper to my daughter's presents instead of a traditional bow.

I chose her favorite colors and used lots of glitter on the butterflies. The party will be held outside and of course, I wanted to incorporate lots of color for her birthday fun.

So, here are some peeks to the party hat and gifts I have adorned.

We do not have a particular theme this year.
However, we are going to a farm and all of the children will get to ride ponies!

I plan on making cupcakes and to make things easier...ice cream cups!
Oh yeah, the butterflies...they are a stamp from STUDIO CALICO!

The packages are all different sizes and I used American Crafts Ribbon to add that splash of more color! So, if you are thinking this is gaudy...then you are right.
Sometimes you gotta have a lot going on to make a statement!

I have much more to create for this super fun Birthday Party for my baby girl who will be 6 years old.
Amazing how time flies!
