BFF

Hello! Today I have a layout to share from the November "Connection" kit from Scrapbooking From The Inside Out".  This layout is about me and very best friend, who is also my cousin.  Unfortunately she now lives a few hours away and we dont get to see each other so often, but when we do it's like we have never been apart.  Her husband bought her tickets to  an Adam Lambert concert for Mother's Day, but she couldn't find anyone to go with her.  I told her I would go although I knew nothing about him.  This was only the second concert I have ever been to, and it was way better than the John Micheal Montgomery one I saw in the middle school gym.

I think if I had to pick one line to scrapbook with for the rest of my life it would be this Amy Tangerine line!  I am anxiously awaiting to see what she comes up with the upcoming CHA.  Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Hello! Im going to share another one of layouts from the November "Connection" kit from Scrapbooking From The Inside Out. For this layout I used one of my favorite quotes from Frida Kahlo and a ton of pics!

If your reading this layout then you can pretty much say you know me.  Some of you may have read my Blog Your Heart post and remember me dancing in my senior prom dress, well that's it in the right middle pic. I just cant say enough about this kit, it is my favorite kit EVA!  Thanks so much for looking and have a nice day.

Sketch #84

This is my new favorite card! I made over a month ago and it's been hard not to share. 

The twist for this sketch was buttons, and I never have trouble with buttons.  Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Sharing "Connection", FINALLY!!

So, it's November.  Normally this is not a good thing, lol.  Not only does November signify the end of my favorite month of the year, but the slow decent into winter BOOOOO.  November has a silver lining this year and it's the "Connection" kit from Scrapbooking From The Inside Out. This kit has been my favorite! Not just the physical product but the theme as well.  I have to warn you that my layouts this month are pretty heavy, you may need a symbalta and a nap lol.  I have made some of favorite layouts with this kit and I usually share my favorite first but it was hard to pick one.  I finally decided to go with this one

I pinned this feather tutorial a while back never really knowing what I would use it for, but when I saw the Amy Tangerine feather paper I knew.  The changes I made when making my feathers were to use copy paper as the backing and floral wire for my spines.  I want to make about a million of those feathers and paper my walls with them.  This layout is about how isolating it can be to be a SAHM, and how it has added to the difficulty of finding real and lasting friendships. 
November also means it's December Daily time! This is my first year and Im going to be doing a December daily ish album lol.  I have finished my album and Im starting on making my page protectors.  Here is the album which is a 9x6.5 chipboard album with 3 rings and a 2 inch spine.  I think it was from creative imaginations, but I'm not sure.  I covered the outside with Cosmo Cricket fabric, the inside it craft

Thanks for looking a have a great day!

Sketch #82

Hello all! Today Im sharing for card for the Twisted Sketches sketch #82, and the twist was orange so I of course made a Halloween card.

Halloween is my very favorite holiday, and orange is my least favorite color so if you say orange Im thinking Halloween lol.  The cat is paprika stickles on felt I cut out on the sizzix.  Thanks for looking and have a great day.

Play and win

 Today I have another layout to share from the Scrapbooking From The Inside Out October "Achievement" kit.  I decided to turn my blog your heart post into a layout

I love having his actual handwriting on the page! The big grey frame came with kit and I liked it so much I decided to build off of it.  All the other frames are cut from the "elegant edges" cricut cartridge, it is my all time favorite cricut cartridge.  I also cut one of the extra frames on the diagonal to make my corners. 

I have started making sketches and I really like it! Today I'm going to share one of my sketches, and if you make a layout (or anything else) from the sketch I will send you a little token of appreciation.  Just post a link in the comments and then send me your address to joshnwillsma@gmail.com.  Also if there is a scrapbooking product you just don't care for include that too, I would hate to send you something you didn't even like.  Here is the sketch

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

and here is a taste of what you will get from that link

I was looking for Jack Skellington images on pinterest to use to make my son's birthday cake, and I was like "um is that a my little pony painted to look like Jack Skellington?" Why yes, yes it is! Then I saw that there were others.  I don't know if the pinner is the person who made these or not, but I want to be best friends with who ever did.  It's like a less messy, non murderous form of taxidermy.

and thats it! Thanks for looking and have a great day.
