Like the ceiling can't hold us



Been having a pretty good 2013. Ups and downs per usual but nothing really bad. I am thankful for that! I have been trying to create SOMETHING every day. I dont have to complete it but just start or continue keeps my creativity flowing. You really should try it. Even if it is only 10 minutes! As a result I have made many pages. I also have been using up the stuff I buy. That makes me feel super great. So I am sharing these with you.

Made with Studio Calico feb kit. Me and my hubby on valentines day at the movie theater... I scrapped these again...

I have gotten so many nice comments on this page. I really enjoyed playing with the modeling paste. Used it with a stencil and the Heidi swapp Gold Lame mist. Love. My new favorite thing to play with. I have another page coming soon that I used this with... I must say I love it.Oh and I love GLITZ!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT.


THis page too I got a lot of sweet comments on. That just encourages me to keep making...Of course not for the comments but it puts my inner voices to rest for a bit. Sometimes I look at my pages and feel like they look like poop. Then I get down on myself and my creativity and wanna give up. It is nice to see sometimes those inner voices are wrong...


Another one of my hubby and I. I scrap us a lot. My kids never stay still enough for really great pics. You do see them here and there but I just love taking pictures of me and my man. I know cheese. LOL! Used the Feb studio calico kit for this one also.


Ok so here is one that my hubby isnt in...My sweet beautiful 17 year old. Last easter. Again used the Feb studio calico kit. I try to use most of my kit before the other arrives. I did a pretty good job polishing this one off. I have a bit left but I am pleased with how much I used.

So my valentines day was pretty epic. Well not the actual day. I had to work. THe weekend after was... Well like I said epic. Here are some pics from that weekend.





My hubby and I had an amazing few days. It is always hard to come back to reality. We enjoyed ourselves so much. Watched movies, had lovely dinners, and just enjoyed each others company. WONDERFUL.

I was a cutting fool a few days back. I also figured out how to "make" my own cut files. I will share those with you soon! I love my Cameo.

Lastly a little sneak peek of some Whisker graphics dt work. Did I mention how much I am in love with Glitz? Well I am and this has a lot of it. Not to mention Panda Eight flair. Love Martha's flair! You need to check her etsy out!

SO how often do you create? Do you try to use up your supplies before buying more? How bout your kits? I would love to hear your way of using your stash.

Oh and I am in love with Macklemore and Ryan Lewis...Enjoy.

I just wanted to catch the last laugh from this show


Been keeping busy, Instagram, valentines day, WORK. That 4 letter word is the sucker of all my time and energy. I am thankful I have a job, I need a job, but ya know, just wish I was doing what I truly love 9 hours a day. Sucking saliva and cleaning teeth aren't really inspiring creatively. Lol! Again super grateful I have said job.
On to the stuff I love. Creating. I have been almost creating everyday. Be it something small or something big. It helps to do so, keeps that creativity flowing and that fire burning. So here is a few of those bits.

Must say this fox mini book was inspired by my meeting with "dear lizzy" at cha. I love foxes and so does she. Blah blah blah... This came out of that meeting.
His name is Cash & I think I love him. He needs a girlfriend. Yes, I'll get right on that.

A mini book using a lot of whisker graphics bitty bags and twine.


Next is a few pages I've done. Just for kicks. Those are the best. No stress, no deadlines...




Lastly some pics of my life in Instagram. I love that darn app. For more reasons then I can confess.

I had a wonderful valentines day...Come back if you'd like to see! I would love to share.

Till next time!

Dashboard melted but we still have the radio

Did you watch the Super Bowl? OMG it was insane. I hate football or at least I thought I did. My son however loves it. We decided to watch it because not only does he love football but his most favorite team made it. A small party was planned and lots of snacks were made.
I didn't know how interested I would actually be in the game. I really wanted the niners to win for my sons sake. It was a brutal game and I have to tell you some tears were shed. I felt bad and in the end had to give him a big hug. It was truly a great day. I made some sweet valentines for some special IG friends while all this craziness went on. Didn't get many done while the second half was on but after I seemed to have a fire lit under me and made about 10. I will share those soon.

In other creative news... I have been trying to create everyday. Mainly before work but so far so good. Here are a few of those....





Was really trying to use up my studio calico kits. Another goal of mine this year. Use the stuff you buy! Join me! LOL!

Stand a little taller

Oh my poor little blog has suffered. It usually does at the holidays. Am I the only one? I think not. Plus there are so many other social media outlets available. Blogs seem to be falling by the wayside and fast. Somehow they need to all be tied together. I Instagram, Facebook, tweet, and now vine. Sheesh. Post layouts wherever I can and have time for.

How do you manage them all? Or do you limit yourself to only 1 or 2? I have met so many cool people through them all that I just don't wanna give them up. So in that sense the pay off is far better then the time it takes.

I recently went to cha. Omg amazingly fun! I have never been. I was like a kid in a candy store. Seriously. It made my passion for creativity and creating so much more stronger. Think it got a little stale there for a while. I needed a good kick.


I came home and created a bunch of stuff and now I will share! Lol!


Ooo and this is super cool! My lil mini I made was a featured project at 2peas! Neat!


Tax return season is upon us and as soon as it comes in im getting a laptop! cant wait! That means more posts from me AND more playing with my cameo!

One more thing...

This is just the beginning I have so much more to share.
