Guest Designer, Heather

Hello!

I am super  excited to share our Guest Designer this month.  

HEATHER ADAMS

Hello! My name is Heather Adams and I just graduated from high school this past week! I plan on starting college this fall to major in graphic design. I started scrapbooking about 4 years ago. I love making just about anything that involves paper. Cardmaking, mini albums, ATCs, scrapbook layouts, you name it. I do a little bit of all of it. One of my big scrappy achievements is being named a Creating Keepsakes Teen Talent Contest finalist in 2011. I currently am on the design team for Pretty Little Studio and Love My Tapes. 

For more details about these projects, please visit Heather's blog.  

Thank you, Heather, for guest designing with us this month.    

Happy Birthday

Happy Wednesday!
Today I have to go back to work from my nice 3 day weekend.
Also today my son graduates from kindergarten AND it is the last day of school.
I am going to try and hold it together and not cry. 
I usually just get so emotional about these things. 
I think I cried the beginning of every school year until my daughter (now 16) was in like 6th grade or so.  Just seeing my kids grow up and become so independent and see how smart they become and.....
I just get emotional.  LOL!!

So today is Karen turn to share some inspiration using our May Card kit.

Explore and Sketch Challenge winner

Hello my friends!!

I was about to say "Happy Monday" but I quickly realized it wasn't Monday.  Weeks with a holiday/day off on a Monday always throw my week off.  Thankfully in a good way, my week will fly by.

Today's inspiration is from our Delightful Designer, Leah.  She used our May Scrapbook kit.

Happy Memorial Day!

I do and I am so excited.  

I can't remember the last time my whole family had off together.  It is certainly rare.

It's all about the heels

Good Morning my friends!

WOW what a week. 

Today is day 6 of my work week and all I can think about is my 3 days off I will have after today. 

A couple years back just after I had my youngest (so all my kids were pretty young, with he exception of my oldest) and I remember thinking, I can't wait to be that mom that is always on the go.  Running here there and everyone for my family.  

After the  week I had, I wish I could go back in time to the day I wished that and smack myself upside the head.  LOL!! 

No I wouldn't change my life for anything.  I think the last two weeks have been rough because of my new puppy.  

It really is like having a newborn baby in the house.  

What are your plans for the weekend?  

Mine will just be to spend time with my family and catch up on my house work and errands. 

My oldest also wants me to drive her around so she can job apply.  

So today's inspiration is provided by Kerys.  She used our May scrapbook kit. 

For more details please visit Kerys' blog here.

Alright, well off to work I go.
Oh, one  last thing.....we are going to change when we reveal the kits they will now just be on the 1st of the month. So if you are a subscriber you will not be billed until the 1st.

Smile Beautiful

Good Morning!!
Ahhh, so I knew that having a new puppy would be a lot of work but I am not sure I was totally prepared for it.  LOL!

We are trying to crate train him and so night 1 he was in the crate all night and I am not sure he ever stopped whining.  Ugh!  No one else heard him whining or was bothered by it.
Night 2 we did a little better.  Frank made it until about midnight until he started with the whining.
Good news is he is getting me  on a schedule.  LOL!!  I have tried to start my day early and  get up well before the kids so I can have my coffee and just get my day started.  So Monday and Tuesday morning I woke at 5am (I know maybe this isn't early for most people but I usually have a hard time getting up at 6:30)
At 5am I take Frank outside to do his business and then we hang out on my patio.
He insists on climbing in my lap and taking a nap.  So that is what we did from 5-6 this morning.

My boy Frank and I snuggling.  He did this for an hour this morning.
I had my daughter take a picture yesterday of me holding Frank.  I am going to take pictures of the two of us until he is full grown.  I am curious to see how long it takes before he can't lay on my lap anymore.  LOL!!
And a beautiful view as the sun was coming up.

 I really am enjoying this taking time for myself idea.  LOL!!

Life certainly calmed down a bit after we moved and now I spend more time outside with my kids, playing with them and just enjoying life.  Now if I can just make a little more time for myself and craft we would be in good shape.  LOL!
Baby steps, right.  I am determined to get life organized. 

Check out today's LO!!  Look at all those amazing banners!!  Our Delightful Designer, Leah created today's LO!!  She used our May scrapbook kit.

Love this!  And look at that adorable photo!!  :-)

Hi

Happy Monday!! 

What a wonderful weekend!! 

Here are some pictures from my weekend. 

Saturday morning my friend suggested we go to the lake.  

Sounded like a great idea so we packed up are kids and drove about an hour and a half to the lake. 

 As I sat here looking at this view I realized that I have chosen the most beautiful place to live.  The weather is amazing all year long.  Even with the 115 degree temps, it is warm not cold. We hardly ever deal with super cold weather and honestly the short time it is here it is a nice welcome after the hot months.   Clear skies at night and I can see tons of stars.  Then if I drive just an hour and a half a way this is the view I see.   

And if you drive a bit in the opposite directions you can have snow.  

Absolutely beautiful!!

And here of course are my amazing children (3 of the 4 at least, teenagers are hard to get in pictures)

Then Mother's Day morning I headed out for an hour and a half drive to pick up my new baby.  

 Hello my name is Frank! 

Isn't he cute??  

Love him already!!

And finally want to share with you today's project. 

Our Delightful Designer, Flowerdisco created this beauty!!

She used our May card kit. 

FLOWERDISCO

Fabulous card!!
