Hello World!!

"Hello World!" because it has been awhile since I have posted. We are officially moved in and loving it! I have lots to share so grab a cup of coffee, it's a long post...oh wait!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

This is actually a photo that we took before going to church on Christmas Eve, but aren't we just adorable? I have soooo much to be thankful for in 2010! Again...Happy Holidays!

Wanna see what I have been up to? Here ya go...

First off...here is my last So Sketchy! layout. Allison Cope lived up to the expectations till the last sketch. I am really sad to see her go. You can check the out the sketch HERE and she has also extended the contest deadline till January 15th...so get busy!

"Lil Moma"

December is also my last month at Mosh Posh and goodness I loved the last kit I got to work with. So, just layouts were not enough! I ended up creating another banner. It was just sweet on our new mantle!

I have also been working on my December design team projects for Right At Home...fun, fun!! I was able to work with 2 different lines this month, which I think fueled my creativity! I completed the first 2 layouts using My Little Shoebox Little Ladies and Whoo Loves You? Collections, and for the last layout and card, I used My Mind's Eye Colorful Christmas Collection. Take a look...

"Nothin' But Sass"

"Showing Her the Ropes""It's a Wonderful Life"

This simple card was completed with the scraps from the above layout.

These are just a few...I have more in my arsenal to share. I hope everyone is having a wonderful New Year's Day! See ya soon.

I'm gonna miss ya Mosh Posh...sniff...sniff...

...sniff...sniff...I have always been a Mosh Posh lover. And when I made the Creative Memories jump, Mosh Posh was where I found my first bit of inspiration. I was a longtime member and follower, and I felt grateful and honored when I was asked to join the design team. But with a heavy heart and all of the changes going on right now in my life, I decided not to apply for the next term. But...but, but, but, when things settle down, I will give it another try! Well, here is my last kit reveal for awhile...hopefully. The December kit...oh, the glorious December kit! It is just beautiful...take a look.

Now, doesn't that make you cheerful? I just enjoyed this kit. October Afternoon is totally one of my faves and all of the other goodies just complemented it so well...fabulous job Kristen! Here are my layouts...

"What a Happy Fella!"

"Family"

December Sketch and Theme: Christmas Lyrics
"Merry & Bright"

"Picture of Perfection"

I was soooo pleased with how my layouts came out. I do have a little something, something else that I made...I will be revealing it soon!

So...So Thankful.....

...I truly am. I have many things in my life going right these days. You know how sometimes you struggle so much that you begin to question if the things you are doing are part of the "BIG plan"? Well, that is exactly how I have been feeling for the past year and a half, but finally...I feel peace. I am teaching at a wonderful school, where my own children attend, my kids are doing wonderfully...fitting in and making great grades, we will close on our beautiful home next week, and my husband...oh, my adorable husband...he is just being everything I need him to be! Life is good and I am thankful.

Wondering where I am headed with all of the "thankful" talk? Well...it's only building up to introduce this week's blog party challenge at Mosh Posh! Estee has been working super hard to make these two weeks FUN, and don't ya think she has done a super-fab job? Ok...on to the challenge! This week's challenge is to create a thank you card. Take a look at mine...


Those are the last bits of my November kit...and I mean bits! I was a tad nervous I was not going to have a thing to create my card with...I just loved this kit. Well ladies, you know the drill...HOP on over to the other design team's blogs and leave a comment, but don't forget to leave one at the Mosh Posh blog too.

While you are here, I would like to share my most favorite layout of November..."Together." My favorite because it is totally different from my regular style. This layout is clean, but just perfect for these few pics of 2 oldest chicks...take a look.

TFL ladies!

Fall is in the Air!

Don't ya just love this time of year? There is a chill in the air, pumpkins on porches, fall carnivals, the leaves are changing colors...I could go on and on. I almost forgot...caramel apples? They are sweet, plump, and juicy all at the same time. Speaking of plump and sweet...the Mosh Posh November kit has debuted! It's full of Cosmo Cricket's Nutmeg...yummy, American Crafts cardstock and jeweled brads...my mouth is watering, Basic Grey Indian Summer, Making Memories Vintage Findings embellies, and a Maya Road pumpkin mini-album!!!

Hello Beautiful...

...the Mosh Posh October kit that is. Kristen has put together another full kit this month titled Smarty Pants...don't ya just love that? It is full of Cosmo Cricket, Lily Bee, and Jillibean Soup...Mmmmmmmm...it's wonderful. But, if you think you may just run over there and pick yourself up a kit, well, it's SOLD OUT! Yep, SOLD OUT...sorry. Take a look anyway...
I had a TON of fun with this kit. Instead of just doing layouts, I decided to give cards a whirl. I am NOT a card maker, but I admire them all of the time. Last month Estee designed two adorable cards and I was envious. Since I am soooo in love with this months kit, I decided that this month I would make my card making debut. TaaaaaDaaaa...

"Boo"

"Thanx"
