I don't just make cards and scrap pages ya know....

Bits n Pieces

After a whirlwind of creativity last week I saw this pile of scraps all heaped together...and the thought struck - "This would make a cute card!!"

Just a quick note to let you know that I was up all night with two of my kids as they were sick all night long...so I will not be posting anything creative today! I have been washing oodles of laundry, shampooing carpets, cleaning bathrooms and "Lysoling" everything anyone may have touched in the last two days....being up all night and so busy all day simply leaves me yearning for bed...so I think I am...

Be inspired today...Enjoy Life.

Well I woke today to the birds chirping and beautiful skies! I can't wait for it to be warm enough to fling open the windows and just revel in those fresh Spring morning breezes...but for now I will settle for a few more "Springish" projects, how about you? :) Today's colors are from the Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger. The inspiration pieces are TO DIE FOR! Delish lovely color palette if I do say! The image... Read more →
