Happy Thursday!

Hi Everyone, it's been awhile and I have been busy. Went through a dryspot there after the holidays, but now I have my creative MOJO back and I am on a roll. Just wanted to post some of my lastest projects. I have been so inspired by Kathy at Paper Phenomenon and Laura over at Follow the Papertrail that I am on a roll.They are both such talented designers and I am so Inspired by them. With Fundraisers for school, birthdays, teacher gifts and you name it I will have many opportunities to craft.
My crafting friends and I plan to attend the Scrapbook Expo in Pleasanton,CA. on the 17th and I am so excited I can hardly wait. Will let you know about that when I recover from the excitment of it all. I have a wish list that is about a mile long. Pray for me that I don't go overboard. LOL.
Will here are a few pix's of what I have been working on.

These photoes are of a cute little Display Box. Very cute Idea and I love the way the cover becomes base for the book to stand up.

This Photo Box Home Deco piece was from Follow the Paper Trail. I used the beautiful Tradewind Paper from Die Cuts with a View. That paper is so beautiful, it was hard to cut into it. But I am so glad I did the box came out so wonderful. I have plans to make more. This one is for a school fundraiser. I love making things to donate. Try it...it makes you feel so good inside. Say a little prayer over the item that it will bless the organization and the family that receives the item.
Don't want to take too much of your time so until next time. Have a blessed day. And remember : Jesus loves you and so do I.

Our sweet Christmas Blessing

Here is our sweet Christmas gift. Aiden Dominic. Another Grammy  pride and joy.

More Christmas Gifts

Thought I would post another Christmas gift project. Another Kathy Orta inspired project. The paper was from DCWV Christmas pad. I just loved this paper. Such nice patterns. Bought enough to use next year. This Folio will hold all our christmas photoes.
Did I mention we were blessed with a new baby boy for christmas. Baby Aiden Dominic was born on December 16th at 5:45pm,weighing in at 8#8 oz. and 21 inches long. What beautiful baby. Mommy and baby doing great. Got to spend christmas spoiling him. Below is a picture of our new family member. Well have a blessed day and enjoy the project. Please leave comments. I really value your comments.

Happy New Year!

Happy 2012! I pray your 2011 had some good times, some learning times, some relaxing times and somes times to remember and some times you will want to forget. All those things will make us strong.
It has been a while since I last posted but I have been busy. I volunteer one day a week at my grandson's school and also do some paper crafting outside of school for the teachers. So great to be with the kids and watching them grow into great little people. They are all truly a joy.
Some great surprises rounded out 2011 for me. A new grandson, Aiden Dominic, born, December 16th. Weighing in at 8# 8 oz. and 21 inches long. He is just perfect. We thank God for an early Christmas present. Spent ten days with him, making sure he was good and spoiled before I returned home.(HEHEHEHEHE!) Also on New Years eve, my daughter and son-in- love surprised us (the parents) by having an official wedding. It was soooooo beautiful. A very small ceremony, outside, with just the family and the Golden Gate Bridge in the background. We give thanks to the Father for all the many blessings of 2011. And look forward to being more of a blessing to all those we come in contact with in 2012.
Well, let me show you a few of the things I have been working on. Will post more later. In the mean time.... Have a JESUS filled new year.

This is a Sports Mini using the Journey pattern from Kathy Orta.Check her out at Paper Phenomenon.

The" WORD" in Pink

Greetings to all,
Today I am sharing a mini I just completed for a dear friend who is fighting Breast Cancer. If you know someone who is also in this fight, you are fully award of the good days and the rough days. So this mini doesnot contain pictures, but the Word of God. "He sent His Word to Heal". Almost every page and every tag has a scripture of encouragment. I know she will be blessed by these words and healed by them also.

So be blessed and take courage. And let's all  pray for a cure.
Always in His service,

This Mini was for my sisters birthday. A place to put all her grandson's pictures in her office.

Well that's all for today. So be good to yourself and have a blessed day.

Busy As A Bee

Well, that's me, busy as  bee. I have been having so much fun with all these new projects. Hope you will enjoy them with me.

This is the Travel Tales project designed by Kathy Orta, Paper Phenomenon. This is my take on Kathy's design.

As you can see I love this project. These two were birthday gifts for my daughters friends. The next one was for a sweet young lady I call my Cherub who graduated from High School.

So that's it for now. Have lots more to show you,but will add more later. Sorry for the crazy set up of my Blog. Still trying to figure it all out. I should ask Roman to fix it for me.LOL
See ya soon.
