Bo Bunny Layout Challenge Sketch - True Beauty

I just LOVED this sketch and couldn't wait to play with my Bo Bunny Gabrielle Collection that I got in one of my spectacular kits from My Creative Scrapbooking.  I chose this picture of my daughter Madison with my daughter Laurens new puppy Bailey. The paper collection is just so pretty and natural it went perfect with this picture.

My New Space!

I never thought I'd really get a whole room in my house all for myself...so after a lot of work, paint, new floors, and trim, my husband built me an awesome desk, hung my shelves, and new curtain rods, and fixed my ceiling fan.  After days of organizing, cleaning out and sorting through all of my supplies...I finally got in the room, organized and creating! I never thought when I set out it would be so much work...but so worth it! It's still a work in progress but here's a couple pictures of what I've done so far.

Shelves for supplies and decorations.

Paper crafted J for Janet

the last of what I need to put away

Cozy Corner where I plan on putting a Nice Big Comfy Chair, when I feel like cozying up with a good book, still have some stuff to put away first!

Closet for more storage of those less used items and other crafty stuff. The painting next to it was one of my moms. I plan on putting her art work through out the room.

Keeping Busy

With my new Scrapbooking Room under way I'm finding it a whole lot easier to create! My latest project was a 7 Gypsies Print Tray for my dd Madison. She recently got a new room and gave it a make over going with a Safari Theme. I used Bo Bunny's new Zoology collection, I added some flowers, pearls and lace because she's such a girly girl and loves fashion, and pretty things. I had fun making it, and she loved it!

I inked and stampled my chipboard pieces, I made the brown ribbon flower, used grunge board and my cricut to create the word sweet and the swirly leaves and inked or distress painted. The lower right hand corner was an awesome stamp I just bought for the Fabulouse price of $2.00! Love a great deal! Thanks for looking.

Just Breathe....

WoW! It's so hard to believe that almost 2 months has gone by since my last post.  I guess it took me some time to gather up the broken pieces and start to put them back together again. No one can prepare you for, describe or predict how you will handle the loss of a loved one, but with love, support, and time you do begin to heal.  Last week I went for an incredible massage and experienced incredible karma, and inner peace. Since that moment I keep telling myself how blessed my life is, it is ok to be happy, and when in doubt....Just Breathe. I'm honestly starting to feel better and like my self again.
I'm happy to say that my little scrap book room has come along quite nicely too! What a little slice of heaven I have. I'm able to find my mojo for creativity again. I worked on and finished two projects this week alone, and even when I'm not crafting...I'll just go back and sit, reflect, admire, browse my supplies, search the web etc.....its just so peaceful, relaxing and theraputic for me. I have organized out the wazoo! And honestly had no idea the amount of stuff I had accumulated! YIKES! I still have a little more decorating to do and will post pictures as soon as I'm done. I'll work on getting up my latest two projects also. Thanks for stopping by....it feels good to get back into the swing of things...
