I’m an invitation making machine!
I just love this time of year!  Can you believe it is actually COLD in Austin, Texas? I had frost on my car this morning. I love it! A friend asked me recently to make fifty (50) invitations for her sister’s bridal shower and I wanted to share the creation. She showed me an idea of […]
A Little Holiday Cheer
Happy November! This time of year is so special as we are heading into Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. Having a young son makes the season so magical and I cannot wait for all of the yummy food and great fellowship with our family and friends. I am thankful to be so blessed! October was a […]
Altered Tea Bag Container
I recently participated in an “Altered Item” swap and was fortunate enough to be chosen to make a gift for my friend Christi! If you are thinking “What the heck is an ‘altered item’ it just means to take something and use scrapbook paper or art supplies to turn it into something cute – and to […]
Christmas Card with Elemental Paper
Howdy! Did you miss me? I missed you! It has been a bit since my last post but I have been enjoying life. My son is a Cub Scout and I lead his Den plus my hubby is the Cub Master for the elementary school so it keeps us just a *little* busy! I have […]
Dreamin’ Cards with Paper Roses and Bling!
My friend hosted a scrapbooking party this weekend and our project was a cute birthday card.  Since it was a holiday weekend and I still had a little mojo left and I made some additional cards on Sunday and Monday. I think I’m in love with paper flowers! With this new Cricut cartridge it is really way too easy to make […]

I participated in a birthday card swap with a group of friends and we were tasked to make sixteen birthday cards – eight male and eight female. I was super excited about this challenge because I knew I would be using my new Art Philosophy exclusive Close To My Heart Cricut Cartridge. It has so […]
Sophia Handmade Box & Cards
At a recent scrapbooking retreat, my amazing CTMH director, Melissa Robinson, put together a project for us to work on.  We created a handmade box for holding cards, the cards to fill the box, and four double page scrapbooking layouts (I think!) I will share images of the card box and cards I created based […]
“Irresistible” Fun at My Weekend Scrapbooking Retreat
I hosted a weekend retreat with several of my scrappin’ friends last weekend and although I was not as productive as I normally am I still managed to finish a couple layouts. The reason for my decreased productivity is that I received the new Close To My Heart catalogs for the Fall/Winter season and all […]
Scrapbook Journaling – Thoughts for Beginners
Are you scared to Journal? Don’t know what to say? Here is help because I’ve been there before too!  In my opinion – my scrapbook tells a story. If you just put a bunch of pictures on pages that is considered a photo album…not a scrapbook.  I like to think that my scrapbook tells a STORY. The […]
