A bit of an update on me!

 Still on a smidge of a break but should be back next week if all goes well. Decided I needed to just deal with the stuff I needed to deal with (Taxes/House/Family) and finish it before I tried to be a "Youtuber" again and deal with it poorly. Better to be my full self then to be partial in all areas and fail once again to achieve my personal goals.

Some of my future plans include - * Getting back to having a Cricut cut file for almost all of my layouts - I miss these and it made is so easy to go back and case a layout :) * Creating a layout set for the paper lines be it SU/CTMH or other brands so that we have a group of 4 videos or such for each that can easily be changed out for other papers. Love when I have a set and then I can just wiggle in another paper line and get yet another set done! * Baby books! ok I have 2 baby boys coming to dear friends in the next few months so I will be doing a 8X8 (possibly might be 6X6) and an 8 1/2 X 11 album for these wonderful ladies. AND.... I still have my kids and then mine and my husbands. I got some of the Tranquility line from 49th and Market for mine and I have some fun Astronaut paper for my husbands. *Disney Goodness not even a blip of where to start on this one! I have tons and tons to do just got to get to it. This might be a great area to do some 4-page spreads or some mini type books for travel:)
* My sisters book needs to get done and sent to Oregon YIKES!!!
*My daughter just went to Japan and Tokyo Disney -yep she went without me:( But we have some beautiful pictures from her trip, and I got some amazing paper from amazon (Stamperia International - Oriental and assorted embellishments from amazon and Simple Pleasures) Looking forward to getting dirty with this paper!








Things I have been doing:
*Reorganized my stamps and dies (Purging some too)
*I started using "Color my Life" to let me know what I have, and I am in love! Might have to do a video on that one. I used Evernote years ago and when I switched to CTMH I decided to try OneNote. Both are great programs for this stuff but when I went in to delete and add bits a few weeks ago it was all locked up and wouldn't let me do a thing. Googled what other options were out there and "Color my Life" popped up. it's a subscription just FYI ($1.99 a month or $24 a year) to keep adding and subtracting but I like the format, and they have some bits you can scan in. of course the products from CTMH and SU are not some that scan but that was fine. you can add them individually too and it's easy *Scanning and scanning photos and layouts I have completed. (still tons to do here) *Organizing the photos and scans of layouts I have done
*Kids for a week while they were in Japan *Med changes for Miranda *Tax catch ups for extensions (Still a few to do too!) *Tax test for my license So as you can see I have been busy catching up on some of life bits and now I am close to being done on most of the catch up and can get back to some fun videos.

Have an amazing day and I hope to see you all next week

Paper Pumpkin Magic! - 3 layouts and 6 cards

  I received my paper pumpkin kit for July and wanted to create a few layouts and some of the cards. Video shows the cards and layouts - creating one 12X12 layout during the video for Nancy. You Tube Video: Cards: Daisy in Old Olive card  Flower in Melon Mambo card Poppies in Calypso Coral card Card details: Card base is from CTMH July Paper Pumpkin kit Inks - Artichoke, Rosy and Papaya Cuts: Card base from the kit cut in half then the floral front was cut to 3 3/4 X 4 3/4 the solid pattern was cut to 4 X 5 1/4 (cutting out 3 1/2 X 4 3/4 out of the center) Process: I added the corresponding ink to the card base to soften it and then I added the solid pattern and the floral pattern. I inked the edges of the floral and solid pieces from the kit then adhered them to the card base. I added strip pop tape to the frame and the flower piece then added it to the card. Finished with the included sequins. 12X12 Layout: Calypso Coral card 12X12 Layout bits: Kraft (2) 12X12, (2) 4 1/...
