Road Map

I love October Afternoon's Road Map collection. This was from the previous CHA so this is an old line to most of you. But I just had the chance to use these papers now and I am just loving all the colors and patterns. I made this layout for Creative Therapy's Catalyst # 75 "What’s the hardest decision you ever made?"


I have always been an independent person who valued her identity. This is one of my struggles as a married woman. I have always been comfortable in the place where I grew and felt that it was the best place for my children too. My husband has a business which has been doing fairly well but it requires him to travel for several hours a day to get from our home to his place of business. We had tried to delay moving our family nearer to his business but it was just not working. One of the hardest decisions in my married life was whether to stay at our home town which was safe and comfortable but would take away some precious time from my children and their Dad – or to move to the busy, chaotic, city but allow them to be with their Dad longer during the day. We decided to make the move. We still miss being in our place of comfort, but having more family time makes it worth it.

Hello everyone! I have been busy creating projects and pages but I can't post those yet. I'll be teaching an on-line class very soon and I'm also scheduled to go to Brunei to teach for a couple of days there. I'll be posting details soon. I'm also arranging for a few blog give-aways. Watch out for that:) In the meantime, here is a page I made for Prima's booth at the Summer CHA, featuring my little fairy Cheska. I loved the felt gate so much and I only had one piece of that. So I used it as a mask instead for some misting so I can use it over and over again.

Tim Holtz - Guest Designer at Creative Therapy!

I recently joined the design team of Creative Therapy and the 1st catalyst I worked on was "Create and art piece about a recent dream come true for you". Here is my take on the catalyst.



I have recently given up my events management business to be able to take care of my two children. Little did I know that along with the time that I can now spend on my children, I will also be blessed with the opportunity to create pages and projects, and at the same time earn some extra cash along with the pure enjoyment of creating. It has always been my “DREAM JOB” and now I am given the privelege to live that dream.

Ok now that I have posted this, I realized that I just had another dream come true! And that is to have a work of mine appear in the same site as that of Tim Holtz' work! Tim Holtz is an artist I admire so much. If there was only one scrapbook celebrity I could scrap with for one whole day - or even one hour for that matter - I would choose Tim Holtz. Please please take the time to visit the Creative Therapy site and look at the work of Tim Holtz and read about his dream come true. The work of the other design team members are so amazing as well. Please check it out.

Moments Recorded Charity Drive

Hi there everyone. Ems, a friend of mine here at home told us about a little girl who needs help. Charmaine is a 4yr old girl with neuroblastoma, a form of cancer and is at her 4th stage of chemo now. Her condition is very serious as the cancer has spread to her bone marrow and bones. Dorcas is gathering cards to be sold so that the funds generated may be given to the family. Please visit her blog for more details.

Picture A Man of Faith

I am so blessed to have a husband who is a man of faith. He blesses people every day through his generosity and his faith and I really pray that my Children will grow up with the same values and strength of character as their Dad. This is a layout I made for VISUAL CREATIONS using Teressa Collins "Family Matters", Hambly, K and Co "Que Sera Sera", Tim Holtz Grunge Board, Fancy Pants Daily Grind Chipboard, Making Memories Stickers, Maya Road Microfelt Birds, and my favorite stamp by Inkadinkado. All materials available at Visual Creations.



Journaling Reads: Picture a man of faith. Imagine what he can accomplish through God's grace.

Hi! Just sharing a few layouts. Here is one from the latest line of Webster's Pages "Sweet As Cherry Pie". I love the vintage look of this line. I have here a picture of Nicole with her two cousins. Listed below are my 8 top ingredients for having sugar sweet kids on a photo session:)Take a look at the cool trims of Webster's. Those red pom poms are a perfect match for the cherries!


This one is for the Prima July Build A Page. Did lots of stamping here. Hope you can try out the sketch created by Anam for the BAP. Upload your layouts to the Prima Gallery for a chance to win some fabulous prizes! I am so loving the flowers of Prima. But wait till you see what they have for CHA Summer! The flowers are divine!!


And for October Afternoon, here is a layout using some of the older lines. I'm still waiting for my DT box and I am itching to play with the "Ducks In A Row" and "Road Trip" lines.


Finally, here are a couple of layouts created using the February Kit of Studio Calico.



I hope everyone is well! I'll be MIA again for a few days. Have to create projects for CHA. Have a happy scrappy week everyone!
