This month’s theme at GCD Studios is all about blue skies and summer days. I immediately thought of my very favorite flower photograph I took a few summers ago with a big bright blue sky background. I love this photo so much, I keep it posted on an inspiration board in my studio. To create…
Today is my day to post a technique for GCD Studios. Since Father’s Day is just around the corner, I wanted to create a scrapbook page honoring my husband and his love for our children. Here’s the layout I created. I was playing around with the papers I had in blue and found myself admiring,…
Life just happens and keeps coming. I do have the excuse of being out of town for a couple days. Then, of course, there is all the things you have to do to catch up because you were gone. Obviously, the blog was not one of them. Lots to share on this Monday. 🙂 My…
Despite the rain, today is full of promise of good things yet to come. 🙂 Upset I can’t go run on the trail, but plan on forcing myself to go to the gym in the next 30 minutes or so. In the ongoing following of my tulips in the front yard. (Riveting information I’m sure.)…
Today is the long awaited official start for the Spring 2020 One Room Challenge. I was thrilled and completely honored to be selected this season to participate as one of twenty Featured Designers! This will likely go down in history as the one of the longest running One Room Challenges! With the Covid pandemic arising…
Sorry I’ve been gone a while. We’ve had two significant snow falls in the last two weeks, about 15-18 inches total and as I sit here typing this afternoon, it is snowing again! The children were out of school for a total of 4 days. Two this week and two last. Both times the neighborhood…
I hope you’ve been checking out the Crafting through the ABC’s at GCD Studios. As promises I’m here today sharing the letter “V” for Vellum! ( I feel a bit like a character on Sesame Street! How fun!) I’m so happy vellum is making a come back! I think it was sparked by the arrival of…
I think I do a good a pretty good job of keeping up with our children’s birthday layouts, but this particular year had slipped by. Probably because at first glance, I didn’t have many good traditional looking birthday photos. I decided to just go with what I did have and combine her birthday skating event…
The air is getting cooler here in Missouri and I’m thinking fall is coming! I created this table scape featuring frames and ceramic pumpkins to great my friends and family when they enter our home. This is a fun and easy project featuring products and papers from GCD Studios and ordinary table top frames. Like…
So today I really didn’t think I’d get to post anything on my blog. I had a busy day planned with lots of work to do and a run with a friend, but late last night my work computer crashed and a funky, scratchy throat surfaced, marking the lovely beginning of a cold. 🙁 So…
Wow! It’s with some very mixed emotions that I write about back to school this year. We had such a great summer. I really didn’t want it to end. Loved the slow pace. Having the kids home. Not doing much or having a schedule. Just hanging out. We had some wonderful vacations. It was really…
Happy Summer everyone! Today I’m here to share some sunshine and fluffy clouds to your summer scrapbook projects. On a recent trip to California, we spent one beautiful afternoon at the beach. Bright blue skies and loads of sunshine, just as you would expect in sunny California. These photos inspired me to create my own…
