Being Creative!


Happy Spring, Flowers are popping up everywhere and the sun is shining once again. I love this time of year. It just makes me happy, so I'm in the mood to create a Springy looking LO this morning!

My Mom, my Sister, and I recently had a chance to get together for shopping, lunch and girl time. My Sister took this photo of my Mom and Me just before they left my house. It's blurry and imperfect, but gosh I love the huge smiles on our faces and remembering how much fun we had that day. Mom had bought me some potted plants; geraniums and columbine....how I loved the flowers and being with her. I will relive this day in my head 1,000 times...especially how Sis was constantly cracking us up!
Good memories, I love my Mom.


.....my latest attempt at a 12x12....see lots of space on this one...still not sure how to handle the extra space, but I'm enjoying scrapping more than ever! and that means more to me than having the perfect LO anyway.

The scalloped boarder is made w/ reinforcements. I'm fixated w/ reinforcements, have been since 7th grade when i got my first denim covered, 3 ring binder...I used to tear out the binder paper, just so I could use these little guys...they used to be gummy and you had to lick them, but I loved the box they came in. ....wish I could still find them in a little box. ;) office products junkie at heart!

Have a wonderful "creative" weekend :)

You have been on a creative roll, haven't you??? It was so fun to see all your new projects! Love the BD mini book - it came out so cute. You're doing a great job with the 12x12 pages too. Each and every one of them are so cute. I especially love the story about the day with your mom and sister. Such sweet memories!

Love your 12X12..the reinforcements are a fun touch.

I have one thing to say to you about your Bloom layout though. You told a great story about it here on your blog, but you should have included all of that journaling on your layout too... How you felt, what you did, why you love the blury photo...
Its a great picture and you dont want to loose that story.
