Creative Overload

I have really been creating a great deal with paper lately.  I have over 20 layouts and projects that I have created over the past 12 days or so.  I will begin sharing the most recent.

Yesterday at Faithful Scrappers,

 I whipped out the following layouts with the Studio Calico September Kit, CENTRAL HIGH.

All photos were INSTAGRAM photos that I printed at home.

I really love those fun photos to scrap.

Baby Blue Eyes - 12" x 12"

Back In the Day, MY DAY - 12" x 12"

My Favorite Season- 6" x 12"

YOU & ME- 6" x 12"

Keep checking back.  I have lots to share.

Creative Roll...

Hanging out in my studio again today. 

 I thought I would post a few layouts that I completed yesterday

 using the Studio Calico August Kit, "Summer of 69."

 

Baseball Simply Rocks

 Both of these layouts came together pretty quickly.

I also had time to throw together a card and and I decorated a Kraft Bag for my son.

We celebrated his 24th Birthday last evening.

 

Happy Birthday Kraft Bag and Card

 It looks to be a dreary day outside and that is perfect weather for playing with paper.

Yep, HUMP DAY and crafting.  

Nothing Better.

Paper Creations...

I have been digging into my Studio Calico July 2012 kit called Elmwood Park.

I created two layouts and then I really thought I should get started on cards for Brianna.  I am in the process of making her care package and cards for her to open daily at camp.

I have included them here.

Trust me that everything is straight.  

I was simply impatient with taking the photos yesterday morning.

However, you will get the idea.  Remember you can click on the layout/card to view closer.

**included with the cards are the designs of the envelopes*

Mother Report

Currently trying to make up my mind whether to head to the pool or stay in for the day.

The sun seems to be HIT and MISS this morning.

Cooler temperatures.

I have enjoyed playing with paper for the past few days.  

Time tells all stories.

HAPPY HUMP DAY

Life Crisis?

Questions.  Thoughts.  Wonder.

I will be sharing more in the weeks to come.

In the meantime, here is just the beginning in documentation.

Life Crisis

Yepper, it is TUESDAY, again and again.

Laugh today!

Sunday Creative Fun

We had our first snow of 2012 and our first snow of the Winter this past Thursday night and Friday.  The cold temperatures had us snuggling near the fireplace and eating chili to warm our bellies.

Brianna and I have been hanging out in my art studio today.  Here are a few things I created.

October 1

 

 

Cincinnati, Ohio

The papers and goodies are from previous months of Studio Calico kits.

A few things I added such as hemp string and doilies.

Have a great week!

 

Just some scrappy

It's Monday, but for me it feels like a Tuesday considering I worked 5 hours yesterday.  Our beloved Falcons lost their game yesterday, too.  My husband made the comment that "this is more sad than watching The Notebook."  I laughed.  He did not think it was funny!  I told him he could become a Titans fan and he said, "NEVER!"  Oh well, there is always this coming Fall.

I have two more layouts to post that I scrapped on Saturday.  I used contents from Studio Calico's main kits.  As for which months?  Have no clue.  They are back from the summer, though.

Both layouts are pretty simple in design.  I was trying to keep it just to contents of the kits.

I have random photos that are printed and I have never scrapped them.  So, I am hoping to get all of the scrapped within the next several weeks.

Well, here is another work week upon us.  

Have a great day!

Scrappy Saturday!

Making a fabulous mess in my art room.  Just a scrappin'! 

I am using Studio Calico's January Main Kit, "County Fair."

I worked out this morning and I am down another 3 pounds.

This is a BRAG for sure!

Okie dokie, no time for chit chat.  I need to get back to some creative fun.

In A Nutshell...

I have been extremely busy lately.  But I will post a few highlights!

I am almost sure this is alright as some may get bored with my random thoughts.  But have no fear for those who enjoy a read, I will be back.

These are my two boxes from Studio Calico.  They contained lots of goodies and my May and June Kits.  I am terrible about going out to the farm these days.  I am so busy that I just pop in when I can and to get my kits.  I always enjoy the country drive for sure.  April and Greg live about 11 miles from me and I it is that time of year when I need to supply the both of them with my homemade salsa.  They love it.

So far, these are the only layouts I have created recently.  I plan on getting my craft/art room back in shape.  I am reorganizing.  I have purged some things and I hope to be back creating in my room this weekend.  I better not make any promises though...something always comes up.

Well, I guess this is it for right now. 

I have more photos and I hope to post regularly. (see above paragraph)

Share, Say, Catch Up...at a glance!

I have so much to share.  Lots of changes since the beginning of December 2010 for me.  Scratch that, really since August when I started working again full time.  Over the next week, I plan on catching up to the best of my ability and share what has been happening in glimpses.  I love Blogger's little "post options" that enable me to make several posts and they be published on different days.  So without further ado.  I will begin.

In February I went scrapping and since I have not shared any of my creative works in quite awhile, I will share some of the layouts I created that day.  There was left over snow on the ground but it did not stop about 70 of us die hard scrappers.  We were ready to get out and about.  The snow has been something this Winter for sure.  More on that in another post.  For now, I will share some of my works that include my own designs and a great love for Studio Calico Kits.  I enjoy picking up my kits and it allows me to check in on the Foster's and chat a bit with Lori.  As always, I gander in the "behind the scenes, too."  But you could not choke the "in the know" that I get to see once a month.  It is a bit of scrappy heaven for me.

So, you see?  I am still creating.  I am still painting and making cards.  It is just that my schedule has changed and so have some of my priorities and I am working on me.  More on that another time!  I promise to be more diligent in posting and everything is finally falling into place and this year is already promising to be great!

Digging up the past...

Well as of this morning Perdido Pass west of Pensacola is now closed during high tide. This is sad. I keep finding myself scrapping with older photos this week and of course the beach is on my mind. We hope to get down to Perdido in July. My cousin Mike says this is all the locals are talking about. He told me that the beach has been full as the locals believe this will be the last time the beach will be beautiful. It is really sad as the Dolphin, Manatee, and Stingray are abundant in the Perdido Key area and they love the pass.
So, I just hope there is relief in the future for our beaches.

I have been scrapping with "Partly Sunny" from Studio Calico. I popped into SC day before yesterday and visited with April's mom a bit and of course, I never leave empty handed.
I keep adding things to my boxes.

This kit ROCKS my World!Well, I am out and about today shopping and tonight is date night and celebrating a Birthday.
Have a great weekend and take some time to soak in some rays.

Just Because...

Yesterday morning I scrapped a page without pre-planning and simply winging it. It took me about 35 minutes to create the layout and it set the tone for my day. It was great. When I was driving to work...I kept thinking..."today should be a day of scrap!" Gosh, I hate it when I am feeling so creative and "life" gets in the way.
