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! :)

Hi and welcome to Paper Issues Simple Scrapper Sketches blog hop. You should have arrived here from Paper Issues.This is my first hop with PI and I am so happy you came by. I have a layout to share with you using the sketch.
This sketch was super simple and fun and it really got my creativity flowing. I loved the circles but I wanted to make it different. I layered the circles of different sizes that I hand cut. They are all funky shaped and I like that. For my title I used the Amy Tangerine embroidery template. I really like the look of the hand-stitching.
Now time for some goodies! There are 2 prizes to giveaway so keep hopping!
Next up on the hop is Arielle:

Have some Issues to tell you all about. Some Paper Issues...
Yes thats right, I am a new dt member for Paper Issues! Fabulous store and a group of fabulous ladies! Super excited to be on this team.
I have been playing with some studio calico Atlantic collection... Love the colors and embellishments. I think my favorite part of scrapbooking is the embellishments. Love them. Of course I love the paper too. Could be why I always walk out of the store with more paper then anything. Anywho back to the pages.
Loved collecting all the bits for these pages. So much fun. I really need to start going back to my studio to create. I have much more at my finger tips and can get a little more messy. I tend to be a mulitasker so I try to watch a movie or clear out the dvr while I am creating.
Where do you create?
♥♥♥
