Just Splash of Color

Hey all,  tomorrow is TGIF day - happy about that.  Even having Wednesdays off, work has been crazy busy for me this week.  Ready for the weekend for sure.

Until then, how about a peek of one of the new collections from IOD, Splash of Color, formerly Creative Imaginations debuting at CHA this week!  Check out the full post on the transition  here.

I introduce you to, Hullabaloo!

And here is a layout I created with it.

Stay tuned for more peeks, and be sure to stay tuned to the Splash of Color blog!!!

Have a great day!!

Just Hello on a Wednesday

Was off from work today, and did a bit of Smashing..........can't believe I waited so long to play with the Smash stuff, I love it!  I am adoring all the little bits and pieces of Smash product..........  Hoping to snap a few photos and post some of that soon.  Until then, a layout from November's Gossamer Blue kit.  What a great kit club it is........

Just Weekend Creating

Typical winter behavior..................when its cold outside, I stay in and play with paper and glue.  Excited to show some Splash of Color sneek peeks really soon, but until then, a Gossamer Blue layout from this weekend.

Enjoy your Monday!

Just Happy 2013!!!

I am a horrible blogger, and for 2013 am hoping to change that.    We enjoyed quiet holidays here, but wonderful ones.   I am happy that a new year has arrived and wish you a Happy New Year as well.

I embarked on the December Daily journey this year and loved every minute of it.  Happy to say my book is complete.  I've bought myself a bunch of SMASH things in the hopes of doing something similar for the upcoming year.  We shall see how that goes.

More scrappy news for this new 2013.........Creative Imaginations is now Splash of Color.  Be sure to check out the post, HERE.

Stay tuned for sneaks of the gorgeous new collections.

Hello there...................been gone a while, but happy to report hubby is doing fabulous and, after over six months', our lives are slowly returning back to normal.........thank you Dr. Carlos David at Lahey Clinic!!!

And Happy Thanksgiving to all of you.

Just Gossamer Blue

Jumping on quickly before the debate to share a layout I created over the weekend with the fabulous Gossamer Blue kit.  Be sure to check them out ...........

Just Happy WCD!!!!

I know......bad, bad blogger these last months......summer always does that to me.........Here we are in October though, so I'm finding myself inside and creating more as I am no longer distracted by the sun.

Anyway, Happy World Cardmaking Day!!!  We've been celebrating it all week long on the Creative  Imaginations blog.......you must go check out the inspo over there.    Amazing.

Anyway, a couple of weeks ago, I finally sat down and had some fun with Jen Jockisch's Pop Off the Page class that had been offered at Studio Calico.  Jen knocked it out of the park with this one.........I find myself reading, re-reading and reading again.......and creating, too.  I was completely motivated by this class, and I needed it.

Using a stencil, I first applied a layer of gesso on the layout base before I started layering the elements  on the layout.

So fun.

Now, armed with paper, glue and trimmer, I am off to go celebrate World Cardmaking Day.  Hope you enjoy yours!!!!

Just Gallivant

Hey all!!!!  Hopping on to share a layout I created for CHA using Creative Imaginations new Gallivant collection.  Its a beauty..........perfect muted blues, creams and browns with images of  suitcases, compasses and things.  And, there is a really cool alphabet, too.

I loved all of the papers and stickers, so punched a bunch of circles so I could use several different designs and then stitched down the center of the circles and clustered those and lots of stickers on the right side of the layout.

More sneaks of all of the CHA releases on the CI blog and I'll share another fun Gallivant one tomorrow.

Have a great day!!!!

Just been a long time

Its been a very long time since my last post and I won't get into details, but will say that my man is home, doing marvelous, and we are truly blessed - I do believe in miracles......

Anyway, I didn't create for about four weeks, but, when I finally sat down - it was wonderfully healing, I might add, I played with some Creative Imaginations ATCs! n What fun I was having!!!!!

Pick up a few packs of these and play, won't you?  They are tons of fun!!
