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.

Just Gift Giving

Just Happy Thanksgiving

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!!!!
