Still looking up

Hello everyone! How was your Halloween? Mine flew by and I didn't decorate one little bit for it! OMG I so wasn't in the Halloween spirit until AFTER Halloween. It went way to fast. Sooo now here it is November. The month of being grateful and thankful and all that. Over at Paper Issues we are having a #30gratefuldays on instagram. Music is such a important thing in my life. I LOVE music. Without it I think I would die.


No but seriously I love it. I wish I could sing well because I would have no problem singing for the world. Even tho my voice is blah I still sing for everyone to hear. Hahaha!




Our new issue also is about the person you are grateful for...


Im grateful for my grandmother. She is a wonderful woman. She helped raise me. I adore her so much.

Also a Glitz DT page.


I played with a little bit of Gesso, ink and stamps. Had some fun making this page.

I have been in a creative slump for a few months now. I mean really to the point where I just didnt wanna look at scrapbooking supplies any more. When this happens (usually every year) I talk myself out of throwing everything away. I have invested to much time, money, memories.... did I mention money? I also hear my husband in the back of my head saying you always start a craft and then move on to the next one. You have a million things you start.... Now I take this as a good thing and a bad thing. I mean I know how to do A LOT, but I also HAVE a lot. Yarn, embroidery floss, paint, silk screen kit, plaster, clay....You get the picture. So yeah, wait where was I going with this? Oh yeah... Guess I just was over sharing I am in a slump and I am slowly pulling myself out of it...again. Im not gonna promise you will see more of me but I will try. Hahaha! Holidays always seem to make the very little time I do have feel even smaller.

Oh btw most of this awesome stuff you can find in the paper issues store. If you use my code awesomepants you can get 20% off your ENTIRE order! What?! Do it! :)

Finish what you started

Thought I would share another page I made using the dear lizzy line. I think this one is my favorite. I love this pic of my beautiful daughter.

She is so pretty and the flower in her hair matches her beauty. We were in santa cruz.
I dont have to tell you how much this line has inspired me. It is funny I refused to buy it. I felt like it was to girly for me.
Since I got it in the mail I couldnt stop putting it down. I wanted to create till it was gone. I almost did just that! Hahaha!

Have you had lines like that? I think I have evolved (yet again) using my scrap supplies. Just recently I have been wanting to get rid of stuff (paper) that is over a few months old. Stuff that I know I am not going to use. I have a lot to get rid of. It is making me re-think my whole way of buying also.

I need to get organized and need to get my studio straightened up. It is a huge mess. I have moved into the living room. Not good. The organizing is going to take a while and a lot of spider killer! Hahaha!

Ask her if she wants to stay awhile

Need a little inspiration? Stuck in a rut? Well then come visit The Creative Type blog to help get you back on track. They have fun challenges. Here is my take on the newest one.
I love this pic of my daughter. She had just died her hair purple. She is beautiful. I was inspired by Michelle Clement. She is a old friend of mine. We have worked on a few things together and I have always thought she had so much talent.

Some come by and play!

Wouldn't it be nice

Hello friends! Have a little bit of stuff to share with you. This page I made with the dear Lizzy line for A million Memories. I love this pic of my mom and Aria.

Santa Cruz CA. This was the only reason I agreed to go on the stupid Ferris wheel. To get some awesome pics. I hate them. They scare the crap out of me. I love scary rides but for some reason this one freaks me out. It isn't suppose to be scary, I know. It feels like there isn't enough straps or surroundings or something! LOL! Anyway I got some great pics none the less.

Today is Friday the 13 Th. Let me tell you I really thought yesterday should've been and let me explain why. Started out at 11 am in a town I was born in. A man held up in his home shot 2 people through the door and killed them. One deputy and one locksmith. It was still going on around 11 pm last night. Last I seen there was a fire in the house he was in. Crazy. There was also a shooting in Sacramento 2 injured and that one ended up with the guy getting killed. Stockton had a tornado warning and it hailed like crazy. Oh and I got in a 3 car accident on the freeway. Nice right? Yeah. A dude in a small car (honda maybe) raced around to pass me. Got in the slow lane where there was another car about a car length head of me. Swerved back into my lane. Almost hit me but didn't. He over corrected hit her, fishtailed, side swiped my drivers side. I tried to avoid his spinning car, went off the road into a chain link fence. Knocked down 5 of the poles before I came to a stop. The whole time I was hitting the poles I was thinking "I am going to die". Oh the joys of having to commute to work. I am a little sore but my van still is running and got me home. I honestly felt like the guy should've been dead and I should have been majorly hurt. But we weren't. For that I know I had angels around me. (I wish I wouldn't have been so upset and thought to take a pic of the fence!)I am thankful its not worse. So that is my not so fun adventure. I don't believe Friday the 13Th is a unlucky day...But Thursday the 12Th I am not so sure about! *wink*

I've been waiting all day

Oh man! It has been a few days or week even since I have posted. If you didn't know I have been VERY sick. I had the flu. It knocked me on my butt for 7 days. I mean I am still hacking up a lung and weak but no where near as bad as I was a few days ago. Dr took me off work till tmw so I decided to post a little something. Michelle sent me the new Dear Lizzy line Neapolitan to play with. I had a great time creating with it. You can pick up the collection at A Million Memories, she always has great sales going on! Here are a few layouts I did.



Me and the scrappy gang in Berkeley. We are silly. Love these girls.



My daughter Aria in Santa Cruz on the beach. These papers are great for beach summer type layouts.


I have lots more to share soon so come on back!

When she was just a girl, she expected the world

Busy busy life. Not really mostly work. That's not fun. Took Raven to get more fillings today. She enjoyed that...Not! Then came home and decided another blog post was in order. I have been wanting to share this page for a while. It is for the new creative type prompt. I love how it turned out. My daughter is so photogenic. We were at the park being silly, you know the usual. I told her to hold this button up to her mouth so I could take a pic. She obliged. I love that she is game. Anyway I found this magazine add on pinterest. It was a Starbucks add. LOVED it and knew it would be perfect for this challenge.

Feel free to use it too.

In other news the hubs and I have seen a few movies. Us on our date night.

This night we seen the lady in black. I liked it! Pretty good flick. The other night we saw project X. Wasn't really impressed with it. It was ok.

I have lots more creations to share and cant wait.

The dear Lizzy line really inspired me to make stuff...Oh and I have been playing with lots of new hambly! Come back soon!
