Ok, so I can't help it.. I was having waaay to much fun putting together the first project kit of The Art Life and had to share.. here is a sneak peak of "Sassy"...

I can't believe I am doing this.. I can't sleep, my house is craaaaazy right now.. boxes everywhere and the excitement and apprehension is killing me, but you know.... I wouldn't have it any other way. I am sooo happy to be doing this kit club. I am feeling really good about it and thinking positively.
PLEASE UPS man come today.. lol! I am still waiting for 2 more boxes.. I have so much more to do and my mind is racing with all the ideas I want to accomplish.. but I have to get through this week. I have had so much support from family and friends and the scrapbook community.. I was at MillsRepCo yesterday for a retailers mini CHA show and was so excited to spend time with Jenni Bowlin. She is my inspiration! She is doing it, happy and successful. She had such words of encouragement and I left there feeling really excited and ready to jump in with both feet. I hope everyone will enjoy the things I create as much as I do. I promise to give A+ customer service, and my heart and soul into every project I do. With all the kit clubs out there right now, I keep reading "great customer service".. so that is my top priority. Keep looking, cause hopefully tonight I can post some more sneak peaks.. (once the fantastic UPS man comes to my door!)

Big News! I know many of you know that last year I went down and registered a business name "The Art Life". It came to me (as most of my scrapbook ideas) in the middle of the night and I thought well I should register it. So, its been about 9 months and I have been trying to figure out what I want to do. I want to "do my own thing" but I want to stay and work with My Daughters Wish. So, I am going to have the best of both worlds! I am starting my business under the umbrella of My Daughters Wish. I am going to have my own "products" at the store in my own little area, and my own little area on the website store. I am so excited, nervous and overwhelemed by everything I am trying to do. National Scrapbook Day is next week and I want to debut my things. I am going to have 2 kits available only here on my blog and at the store, I hope each month. One will be a super fun project scrapbook kit and the other is going to be "something" else. That might be a felt project, fabric project, but something out of the box. I hope everyone can come to the store starting May 1st to take a look at my things.. think of super cute packaging with fun embellishments and super cute handmade items that are a perfect addition to your scrapbook page. I'll have card sets, tags, buttons, and anything fun and vintagy that I can get my hands on.

So, here is a sneak peak of one of my "other" kits that will be available at My Daughters Wish and through the blog. Look for more details on April 30th, and I can't wait!

Good Monday morning! I wanted to let everyone know that I am hosting a challenge at the Scrap For A Cure Blog/Website.
Your Challenge is to create your own embellishments! You can use anything you have laying around, but it can't come straight from a package. In this layout, I used felt, buttons and embroidery thread to make these super cute easy embellies! Post your layout to the gallery at the website and you'll be entered to win a super fun RAK!

Happy Tuesday people! I am in creative mojo land.. I have two things to share today.. I finished my mini turquoise acrylic album this past weekend while cropping with my buddies.. I documented my tattoo's all 7 of them.. I wish I had more pics of them getting done, etc.. I was young silly and didn't think of things like that at 20years old.. but at least now they are documented and scrapped a bit. The acrylic album is just my favorite color and I love the PDQ chipboard letters I used for the title. This book is also available in my ETSY store.. come on and take a look!

The second thing I am sharing is my ATC card for the National Scrapbook Day Artiste fair on Thursday May 1st at MDW. All of the designers will be teaching make and take ATC cards, and here is my contribution. Its called "Ode to Baby".. anyone that knows me knows that Tony is in LOVE with his monkey "baby".. I even had to make him his own mini scrapbook of pics of him and baby.. so, I thought I'd use two of my favorite things right now.. the Daisy D's sock monkey paper, and Hambly.. weehoo.. come join me in making this super cute ATC on May 1st!

Other than that I am done with 2 of my next classes, which will be an mini acrylic book inside a Tim Holtz Tin and will be perfect for a mothers day gift, not only to your mom but any strong woman you know. The second is "We Are Family" which is the Maya Road Chipboard Tree album can you say "STINKIN CUTE???".. pics will come soon, but I'll have both samples at the May 1st party at My Daughters Wish.

Just a quick post, cause I was so excited to be putting the final touches on my scrapbook/office room. These are the things that are going to make me smile every day!

Happy Friday! Since I went to the antique fair, I have been expanding my horizons to fabric stores.. and wow those can be just as bad as scrapbook stores. I loved to touch and feel the fabric. I loved all the colors and patterns.. I needed to tell myself that I DONT need another hobby to fill my life.. I have so much to do right now that I shouldn't but I did.. I am fully engrossed in fabric. I made my first "stuffed" owl, and I am well on my way to making my first sock monkey. I'll share those later. For now, I am going to share some layouts. First is my sock monkey layout with Tony's "Baby". This is his pride and joy, can't live without it stuffed animal. We all love baby as much as Tony does. I need to do the journaling, but I love love love this paper. The second is a layout of me when I was living in Brazil, 1985.. yea baby! Then, I am sharing my layouts for the Scrap For A Cure April Kit! Full of fabulous things and a full package of scrapworks letters.. you can't beat the bargain and fun papers and embellies in any other kit!

I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend. I feel like it went by waay to fast. I had a great adventure on Sunday. But first on Saturday, I taught my "7 Day's" class and we had such a fun time. Everyone was socializing and having so much fun we went over and had to hurry up to get it done.. lol! Next time, I am just going to schedule more time for my classes.. cause we just have too much fun! Then we had our DT meeting for MDW and we scheduled all our classes for May, June and July. I think I have 6 or so that will be on the schedule.. watch out! Look for a really fun acrylic class, a Family oriented class and a "Mommy and Me" class. All of our designers have so much talent and brought so much to the meeting.. each one of them inspires me so much. We also talked about the National Scrapbook Day schedule and the store is going to have 4 days of complete fun and crafting! Starting on May 1st!

Sunday was my big adventure, sneaking out of the house at 6:30 to go the Alameda Point Antique Fair.. OMG! It was a so incredible, the amount of fun things I saw.. I wanted so much of the furniture for my house! I wish I would have brought my camera.. but next time I will. The knickknacks galore, the furniture and the sheer size of the place.. I didn't walk out of there until 11:30, and I went pretty fast.. didn't stop at all.. just incredible.. its now going to be a monthly date for me.. and whoever would like to come, let me know.. the first sunday of each month!

These are my finds for the day.. I went a little OWL crazy and bought a bunch of them.. I bought some other things which I will also photograph.. but here they are!

How cute are these?

Please notice that I have my Etsy Shop Link back up! WEEEHOOO! I am steadily going to be adding things to this every day. Also look for more acrylic items, including colors! I am ready to get creating. I have so many things in mind, now I just need to do it! So, stay tuned and take a look at some of the things I have found.. mainly fantastic BUTTONS! I came upon a treasure chest of vintage buttons this past week, and have them all packaged up and ready to go on the Etsy site.. here are a few pics of them! Enjoy!

I had to add these pics of the dolls that I "borrowed" from Tab's Blog.. how cute are these????

First off, Happy Belated Birthday to Nancie.. the bestest friend a girl could ever wish for! I love you girl!

We spent Saturday night cropping with all our friends and had such a blast.. our make and take was making Maya Road People. They come on a chain and there are 8 of them to a book. We had soo much fun making these.. I can't wait to get them on a layout. Look for more pictures of others to come. I loved spending time with everyone and hootin and hollering eating and crafting.. I wish we could do this every weekend. I am truly blessed with friendship.. Take a look at the picture I snapped of Lisa's brand new puppy.. it was only 8 weeks old and I was so tempted to kidnap it.. the cutest dog ever!

Big shout out to my little Mallory for doodling my title for the blog.. I have been meaning to get this done for SOOOO long.. and its perfect, you rock girl! I loved having you around these past two days.. your artistic creativity sure rubs off and I miss you terribly while your gone.

Here are the pictures of the door hangings I did last weekend with Nancie and Laura.. these are our take on the MDW make and take Sheri designed for the Scrapbook Expo. We used the Abby Blackboard book, and just used one of the pages and turned them into super cute signs. Tony loves loves loves his and carrys it around with him. Bianca actually put it up right away.. what a teenager!

I just have a few minutes before work today, so I thought I'd share some pics I finally took of some layouts I have made in the past few weeks. I had a fantastic Easter.. ate waaay too much, family members snoozed on the couch.. kids screeched in delight at all the eggs hidden in the yard.. just a wonderful day all together.. topped it off with a hike in the open space with Aaron, Tony and the two dogs.. they all loved it and we walked off all the ham, turkey and fixins from the day of festivities!

Have a great day!

I checked my blog and lo and behold.. I haven't posted in over a week! Yikes! We were soo busy last week getting ready for Scrapbook Expo, that I didn't recover until a few days ago.. two 14 hour days.. a ton of work! But thanks to everyone who came by to say HI and support MDW. It is nice to know that people love the store and happy to know that its not closed down.. its amazing how many people thought the store was shut down since we moved. I have been creating a bunch of things, but I have to get scanning and picture taking.. I made a banner for Easter, and its super cute. MDW has the kits to make Happy Birthday, so I thought one for Easter would be nice. I have also finished the "7 Days of ME" class which is in a few weeks. If you really want to get some photos done of yourself and put it all in a funky "junked up" book with lots of places for journaling.. please come take this class. I have done a lot of research on Self Portraits.. I think I have picked some fun ones for you to try for this class. I'll try to post a few photos this weekend. I am super excited to be scrappin with my friends tonight.. I am so blessed and lucky to have the BEST group of friends ever! I love everyone of them.. they all bring something different to the group and I love them for that.. shouts out to all of them!

I have a big surprise tooo.. thanks to Renee (friend of the year award for her) I am now the new member of the C&T Pubishing DESIGN TEAM! I am still waiting for the particulars, but I was asked to join their fantastic team. I'll spill more as soon as I know!

This picture is from a few days ago.. Tony likes to sit on Bianca's counter when she gets ready for school (he is sooo in love with her!) and she had on a blue hooded sweatshirt. He came running to me.. "Mommy I want a blue sweatshirt like banca..(thats his pronunciation of her name.. priceless!).. so I put his sweatshirt on.. "Mommy I want my hood up like Banca.. ".. k.. hood up..

Had to get this shot.. I am the luckiest mom in the world to have been blessed with such beautiful children.. they amaze me every day and I thank God everyday for letting me be their mom!

Here is the second exclusive kit I have designed for the My Daughters Wish Booth at Expo this weekend. Its 3 pieces of acrylic that are 6x12. You receive everything in the kit to create this one of a kind wall hanging. Come by and get one for yourself!

For the class on Friday, I am trying to find out why you can't sign up online.. we might have added this too late to have online signups. You might have to sign up on Friday morning at the show.. if this changes.. I'll post here right away!






Also, this is an EXCLUSIVE kit I'll have at the My Daughters Wish Booth at the Expo. Its a stepped acrylic album starting at 4x4 up to 4x8 pieces.. this book is flowing with beautiful embellishments, rubons and stickers. It has bits of 7Gypsies, Teresa Collins, American Crafts, HAMBLY of course, ribbon and metal. There will only be 20 of them available at the booth and the price is only $24.99. Come grab one up before they are sold out. I am going to try to get a wall hanging acrylic kit ready as well for Friday, if it does you'll see it here first!

Stay tuned for more fun!

I can't believe its been a week since I posted.. I have wanted to and I have a bunch to share.. so here is some tidbits and things..

First, I have been going Layout Crazy, and have done like 5 layouts this week. I am on a Making Memories Kick.. they have been just blowing me away with their new paper lines.. first Noteworthy, then their Love Lines, and now this special one available at the dreaded "M's".. Chelsea's Place.. I absolutely love love love these papers.. Here is one layout I did with the Love Lines paper.. One of my favorite layouts ever.. just all came together beautifully..

Secondly, I AM TEACHING AT THE UPCOMING SCRAPBOOK EXPO! Its a last minute thing, but Sheri asked me to teach a class so here it is! Its called Simple Things, and its using the brand new Blackboard Book by Cosmo Cricket.. Its going to be held on Friday March 14th at 6:30pm. Please please come and take this class.. you get so much product and you'll learn a lot of great techniques!

Just wanted to share a few sneak peak layouts I did for the Scrap for A Cure Kit Club Design Team. I had so much fun creating with their March Kit!
