Happy Monday!  I'm baacckkkkk!  It's been a long while.  I got so crazy busy before the holiday season that something had to give.  It turned out to be my paper crafting.  Have you ever run into that creative mind block?  I just couldn't get my mojo going with so many things going on.  Just when I was ready to dive back in in January, I hit some black ice, fell on my keester and broke my wrist.  UGH!  Anyway, the cast is off and I'm ready to do some crafting as therapy.

This layout is the one our Magic Club will do for December.  The papers and Stickease are from the retired Frosted My Reflections Kit.

The layout is called Mystify and you can download the sketch HERE

Happy Monday!!  It's the start of a new week.  Make it one that you will never forget....

Today's layout was created in CTMH Studio J using CTMH X7170B Laughing Lola.  I love these colors!  So much fun to work with.

When you create in Studio J, you can use the many My Stickease over and over again.  Love that!  No limits to the creativity.

Thanks for stopping by to check out my layout!

Another Monday!  Thanksgiving is just around the corner, so today's layout is created with the CTMH X7174B Huntington paper packet.  It's a very elegant design.

I created the layout in Studio J.  Love Studio J for some quick scrappin' with no mess.  It's great for those times when you only have a few minutes to scrap and you don't want to pull out all your products.  You have access to all of the My Stickese, plus the option of changing your papers, changing picture sizes and so much more.  I double matted the photo wells above and changed the photo sizes from 6" x 4 and 4" x 3" to reflect that.

Happy Monday!!  Ever have one of those Monday mornings?  :)  My desktop computer has been out of order for a couple of months, but I haven't had a chance to open it up and see what's going on.  So, I've been using my laptop, and, let me just say..everything is harder when you're trying to work without what you are used to having program wise.  Thus the reason I'm so late posting this morning.  Created the layout in Studio J...no problem!  Then I needed to crop it for posting.  UGH!!  Cropped it and thought it was fine.  Ran it through my copyright file but it kept cutting off the sides.  Now, this is not the first time I've used this...used it for last Monday's layout.  Do you think I could get it to work right today.   Nah...of course not.  Anyway, I've got it right now!

So...let me post it before it decides it doesn't want to be right.  LOL!!

I created this layout in Studio J from Close To My Heart.  The paper is the new Sparkle and Shine paper packet, available through the Holiday Gift Guide.  Love, love, love this paper!!

I hope you like the layout!

Well, better shut down the laptop and get busy.  I have an apple pie to make and a custom Tu-tu Bag.  Until tomorrow...have a wonderful Monday!!

Happy Monday morning!  I hope your week is off to a great start!

Today's Magic Monday layout was created using the Close To My Heart Sarita papers.

X7171B Sarita

The pattern is from the Magic Book and called Lovely Assistant.  I have taken a little creative license and changed it a bit on the left page.

Happy Monday!!  It's looking like a good start to the week.

This week's Magic Monday layout is "Card Trick" from the CTMH Magic book.

I've inverted the pages at a 180 degree angle.  The paper is Close To My Heart's Sarita.  This paper is so trendy.  I saw a blouse in the store the other day with the same colors and the pattern was very close to the large image paper shown below..

Have a wonderful day, everybody!!

Happy Monday!!

Today's Magic Monday layout was created with the CTMH Chantilly paper packet.

The sketch is Mystify from the Close To My Heart Magic Book.  You can download a copy of the sketch here.  The Chantilly papers are one of my favorites.  If you saw last week's Magic layout, it was in shades of blue and also came from Chantilly. Such a versatile paper packet!

Happy Monday!

Today's Magic Monday layout was created using CTMH's For Always paper packet.

The fabric ruffles across the middle were created using the For Always Fabric Collection. To make them, I created a tube of the fabric and sewed a gathering stitch through the center of the tube.  Then, just pull a thread and you have gathering.

Good news!  The Magic How to Program book is now available again.  Now that it's available, you can join the Magic Club.  For $20 a month, you'll receive a paper packet, embellishments and instructions to create two double page layouts.  If you'd like to join us, please send me an email.

Happy Monday morning!!  I'm back, although my computer didn't want me to be. UGH!  I thought I was having issues turning on my desktop.  Then, two days last week it turned right on, so I thought I must have been having user error those other days when it wouldn't turn on.  Evidently not, as it wouldn't turn on again today.  UGH!  Thankfully, my laptop is back and working!

This layout was created using CTMH's For Always paper packet.

This paper is fun to play with as you can add whatever color you want to make it different.  See those two Ruby colored strips.  They are just part of the paper packet that I covered with Ruby ink.  This paper would make a terrific paper pack for wedding layouts!
