24/7

I must admit, I am NOT a purple fan. However, it hasn't affected my love for Bo Bunny's new SunKissed line. I just adore the purple with the turquoise, lime green, and orange. I love the playfulness of the line and the weathered look all all of the papers....It could be that this is my new all time favorite Bo Bunny line!

"I can't get you off of your bike! You would ride 24/7 if you were allwed. But at least you are always "prepared". Love the hockey helmet honey! :)"



Everything except the "life" stickers (OA) is Bo Bunny.

Hear Ye, Hear Ye, Read All About It....

It's out, it's out...I have officially been published in Creating Keepsakes. It is just a layout in the CK & Me section (page 18 to be exact) but I am over the moon excited about it! I would never have submitted it if it weren't for the encouragment of my friend Jing-Jing and another little nudge from the inspiration herself, Stephanie Howell. Thanks for the push girls!!

I wish you could have seen my kids' faces when I showed them their photos. "Wow mom, we're in a magazine! That is so cool!!" ...Who knows kids, maybe it's just the beginning.....

Summer Challenge

And the challenge begins....my girlfriends, Jing-Jing and Michelle, and I have challenged ourselves to create 100 layouts, cards, or projects between Memorial Day and Labor Day. We are only 10 days into the challenge (since we really start Friday night of Memorial Day weekend) and I have already completed 15 layouts! I am off to a fabulous start. For all of you crafters out there, you should join us!! If you are interested, leave a comment and we can track our progress together! It is always fun to have others encouraging and inspiring you along the way.

Here is one of my first 15 --



The papers are Fancy Pants Road Show. I used a Fiskars border punch around the frame and then machine stitched around. The journaling reads: "I clearly take too many pictures. As soon as you see the camera you start showing off your modeling moves. Next thing you know, you're going to start demading payment."
