Living My Dream

Bella Blvd and December CK

I've fallen in love with a new line. Bella Blvd was one of the sponsors for the CK Dream Team, so I was sent some lovely papers to work with. Then last week, another box arrived with their two newest lines. I was so excited about their generosity, but also about the incredible products they have! These two lines are just adorable. Of course I had to start working with them immediately! Even the packaging is irresistible and must be used on your pages! This layout is made with December Details, a colorful Christmas line that is both bold and whimsical. It includes five papers, letter stickers, a full 12x12 sticker sheet, a sheet of die cuts, flowers and stamps.... Read more →

And the WINNER is:

Thank you to everyone for leaving such nice comments about me being on the Dream Team. I also really appreciated all your feedback about what you would like to see in Creating Keepsakes next year! I will pass on all the information to the CK Editors! Between the two posts, I received a total of 103 responses. I included the responses from both posts as some people left them on the one with the RAK picture instead of the first one. Some also left two comments because of the confusion between two posts. In this case, I only included the first of the two comments. The total number of comments after duplicate emails were taken off was 97. I created... Read more →

Halloween Costumes...

The girls just cracked me up this year! The good news was, I didn't have to spend a penny on their costumes. Sophie and her best friend dressed up as Thing 1 and Thing 2. We got the adorable costumes from our neighbor - thank you Laura! Chloe wanted to be a boy. A boy? My girlie girl wanted to be a boy? So we pulled out all of Thane's old clothes from the attic and this is what she decided to wear. Don't mess with Texas! People were laughing so hard when they saw her. She only wears pink and she has such long hair, so it was a bit of a shock! Happy Halloweeeeeeeeeeeeeeen for the last time!... Read more →
