Coming back

It's been awhile...a long while. Life as wonderful as it is, is also crazy, or maybe that's what makes it so wonderful? Anyhow, I got wrapped up in life and family, and took a little break from scrapbooking. I was still creating memories, and still capturing them through a picture, but I wasn't taking the time to document them, I wasn't worrying so much about getting that one perfect shot...and I loved it...but I also missed the creating, and the documenting the stories. So, I'm picking up the old tape runner, and getting back on the wagon...just going to take it a little easier this time, no design teams, no stress, just for the fun and the memories. :)

I recently joined Clique Kits..so far I am in love with these kits. Its a great way for me to slowly dip my feet back into the world of lovely and new products, especially since I have no idea what is out there anymore. They also have some fun challenges, which has been another perfect way for me to get back into the groove. I created this layout using the January kit, and the fun sketch that they recently posted on their blog.

I switched it up some, instead of a circle, I cut this adorable mosaic heart from one of the papers...I think it was Simple Stories. I kept it pretty simple, and pretty straight on with the sketch otherwise. Love the way it turned out...but even more, I love that I am getting back to documenting the wonderful life and memories with the ones I love. :)

If you're still here, thanks for sticking around. :) I am going to try and get back in the habit of posting at least once a week, but again, no stress this time around..what will be, will be! ;)

Enjoy your weekend, and take time to create something you love!

Gossamer Blue

Hello friends! I recently joined Gossamer Blue kit club, and I have to say I am so glad I rejoined! Loving the February kit so far, and I have my first layout to share with you today.

My middle daughter recently lost her first tooth, and it would be an understatement to say that she was excited! I thought the fun colors and embellishments in this kit would be perfect to document this moment!

I loved the custom wood veneer titles, and thought this one went great to cluster in with my title.

I also had so much fun using the office themed embellishments on this layout! The ended up working perfectly, and I am so in love with the finished layout!

Stay tuned for some more layouts using the Gossamer Blue February kit...my hopes are to kill this one just in time for the March kits to get here. Loving the sneaks so far!!

I'm linking this layout up to the current issue at Paper Issues " Hip to be Square". Nothing beats a grid layout, and this challenge helped to inspire that.

Have a good one, and take time to create something you love!!
