A Joyous Life Layout

I created this layout back in September before I took a bit of a break from blogging...

We had just received our pictures from a Fall photo shoot with local photographer Jen Louie, and I just had to print a few and make a layout.

And I even created these cards this morning!  :)

I pulled out an older, retired paper from the CTMH Huntington paper packet for my cards.

I hope you enjoyed my quick post today.

Hello!

Hello! Just popping in to let you all know I am doing fine. My life has been full of tons of appointments and trying to deal with all of these severe new allergies I've been slammed with (along with the anxiety that came with it) and trying to be very cautious to stay away from any foods/medicines that I could possibly react to. Believe me, I am pretty tired of seeing the ER room. lol 

On a positive note, my Dr. was able to get me in to a new allergy clinic in Port Coquitlam for January 11th, so I am excited to get started with working with an allergist, so I don't have to continue to try to do this all on my own! (The 18 month wait list for the place I was referred to in Calgary was not something I was willing to accept!)  Anyways, I am still here and feeling pretty positive. 

Although I haven't been in my scrapping room to create for about 2 months, I do have some things I created before then that I will try to find the time to share here and on my Facebook page over the next while. Thanks for hanging around.  I appreciate you. smile emoticon

Have a one of a kind fabulous day!

Sorry for my absence on my blog lately.

I've been struggling with some serious food allergies for the past 2-3 months and all the fallout from that, and trying to get my health back on track.

 I was also having issues with Blogger not uploading any photos, ever since I did the Windows 10 update.  Ended up that I just needed to download Google Chrome and it seems to have fixed that issue.  ;)

Anyways, let's get to the good stuff...

Here's a fun card I made a while back using the new CTMH Watercolor Paints.

So fun!

Happy creating!  :)

Supplies used are all CTMH:

Paper:  Watercolor Paper; Black, White Daisy CS

Stamp:  Happy Everything - retired Operation Smile set

Ink:  Archival Black

Embellishments:  Clear and Bitty Sparkles, White Shimmer Trim, Black Enamel Star

Other:  Watercolor Paint, Paint Brushes, Micro-tip Scissors

Life Is Looking Up

(I shared this layout prematurely, so I am sharing it again now that the timing is right...)


How adorable is this???

 

This is one of the layouts we created at Convention in Disneyland.

 

The theme of Convention this year was from the Disney movie UP. (One of my all-time fave Disney movies!)

 

We got to use a ton of new products on this page, which are now available to order!!!

Convention Friends Layout

Here is another layout we created while at Convention.

 

This one uses papers from the new Kaleidoscope paper packet.

What a fun trip I had with these two girls!

 

Charity is my sweet upline, and my sideline Debbie... well Debbie and I go waaaaay back.  We went to all the same schools and even graduated together.  So fun to reconnect with someone from my past.

 

They are both awesome!

Disneyland (Convention) Layout

I want to begin sharing some of the cute layouts we got to create at Convention in July in Disneyland, CA, using all new products from the NEW Annual Inspirations catalog.

 

First up is this layout using the sweet Georgie papers.

 

At first glance, the Georgie paper packet is baby themed, but take a good look at this layout... no baby theme here!

After I got home, I printed out some photos from my trip and added them to my layout.

 

I think it turned out pretty cute.
