Hello and happy May!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This months <a href="http://pagemaps.com/images/2016/may16pagemaps.htm" target="_blank">PageMaps</a> layout is not your conventional "Mother's day" layout. As I was looking for pictures to create with the sketch, these images jumped out to me the most. My little ones candid approach to making the most of our outing brought back so many fond memories. I can never get enough of all the fun things we did together during our road trip to Stamford, CT and NYC. Moments like this don't come too often, but when they do, the kids and I take advantage of opportunities brought our way.</div>

I was drawn to the stars placement on this months <a href="http://pagemaps.com/images/2016/may16pagemaps.htm" target="_blank">sketch</a>. I grabbed my star punch and quickly put my layout together. I used a mix of colorful pattern papers, which cohesively complimented my photos color pallet. I kept the layout simple using strips of 6x1" strips to frame and set the background foundation. Everything else just feel perfectly into place.</div>

Today's sketch layout is no joke, it's the real deal and I couldn't be any happier with<a href="http://pagemaps.com/pagemaps_jpeg.htm" target="_blank"> PageMaps </a>Aprils sketch design. Loved the diamonds so much, I went to down and used them as the basis of my page. There are layers upon layers of open and negative space going on with pops of color and texture. I used bits and pieces from a project life kit and added those elements to fill in the diamonds. I also took a sheet of Jillibean Soup letter stickers sheet because I wanted to through off the balance a bit with the yellow and contrasting text from my handwriting. I love how the layout turned out. I was nice to work with this bold shape. The photos were from our trip to Disney last summer. We had such a blast. I loved being there and celebrating a good time with my kids and mom. That trip holds so many memories I don't ever want to forget.</div>

Can you believe it's already December and Christmas is just 3.5 weeks away? WOW, 2015 sure has flown by miraculously! Well, I don't know about you, but I am more than halfway done with my Christmas shopping. Super excited about that. Just a few more gifts to get and I'm good. But of course, that Christmas photo has yet to be snapped and now we just need to take a few moments our busy lives and get it done.<br />
<br />
My <a href="http://pagemaps.com/images/2015/dec15pagemaps.htm" target="_blank">December</a> <a href="http://pagemaps.com/" target="_blank">PageMaps</a> sketch layout showcases our forever last minute Christmas card photo. How last minute? January 1, 2016 last minute. Yup, the day before all the holiday trimming were going to be boxed up, I grabbed the kids, Nala and festive holiday hats and snapped a few pictures and viola! It worked and was sent out to all our family and friends. Last year was an extremely, and unexpected busy time for us. But I didn't want to go without sending a little love and holiday cheer to our family and friends!<br />

I kept with the color inspiration from my photo. Trimmed the main photo and phrase from our Christmas cards and used a mix of holiday elements that conveyed my themed layout. Love how it turned out, especially working with a unique layout sketch designed by Becky at <a href="http://pagemaps.com/images/2015/dec15pagemaps.htm" target="_blank">PageMaps</a>.<br />

<br />
I'm am super happy about this months layout sketch and digital cut files! First off, cut files from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/TheCutShoppe" target="_blank">The Cut Shoppe</a> by Ashley Horton are fantastic. so much to choose from in a huge variety of design styles. Loved being able to create with her creations. And of course, <a href="http://pagemaps.com/" target="_blank">PageMaps </a><a href="http://pagemaps.com/images/2015/nov15pagemaps.htm" target="_blank">November sketch layout</a> is so awesome, perfect for what I had in mind. Plus, I can never get enough of grids, yes!<br />

For my project, I used the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/196683075/the-get-your-grid-on-background-cut-file?ref=shop_home_active_1&ga_search_query=grid" target="_blank">Get Your Grid On</a> and <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/195115101/the-say-anything-cut-file-includes-3?ref=shop_home_active_1&ga_search_query=say%2Banything" target="_blank">Say Anything</a> digital cut files; perfect for the sketch layout I selected. I loved the theme of the grid file tons... since I'm addicted to Instagram. My layout is all about my little girl with images of her I've shared on my Instagram feed over the past year or two. Always fun seeing your kids personality shine through and I loved the ones I used for her page. I also used some a-ma-zing <a href="http://www.jillibean-soup.com/retail/index.php?route=product/category&path=209" target="_blank">Summer Red Raspberry Soup</a> papers and embellishments by <a href="http://www.jillibeansoup.typepad.com/" target="_blank">Jillibean Soup</a>. Super cute paper and I especially love their alphabet vellum and stickers. Perfect accents to go along with my layout theme.<br />

HAPPY OCTOBER!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Super excited October is here, with milder weather and cozy nights. One of my favorite seasons, next to Spring. And as usual, I am looking forward to Halloween. I LOVE halloween, dressing up in costume, trick or treating with the kids and hanging out with friends. It's always so fun to see all the cool and spooky decorations and I love digging through the kids bag to grab my favorite treats.</div>

The October <a href="http://pagemaps.com/images/2015/oct15pagemaps.htm" target="_blank">PageMaps</a> layout sketch was so much fun and I went back to basics with my page, mostly using cardstock only page. The lazy size of me was too lazy to go out shopping for current supplies. So, I decided to really dig deep and remember why I began scrapbooking in the first place. My page is pretty simple using similar elements shown in the sketch above.<br />
<br />

<br />
I cut out my web using my Cameo silhouette machine and then used black embossing powder to give the web a bit of glistening action. Of course, I got carried away with the tone-on-tone affect with my page, which gives it a lot of pop against the white background.<br />
<br />
Paper bats, halloween circle phrases and title treatment also die-cuts from the Cameo, which comes in handy. Yes, there was a bit of planning when putting this page together as far as sizing cut files, etc. The page uses very little hard embellishments, just a mix of black and orange enamel dots. Then I added the envelope on the side of the photo to hold journaling. Again, too lazy to pull out the sewing machine... so, I used the my trusty archival pen and t-ruler to frame the foundation page. Overall, I'm very pleased with the outcome.<br />

<br />
So many young ones started school back in August and well, ours aren't due back until September 8th. I'll admit, I'm looking forward to the school year routine, but not the morning routine of getting ready for school. that is always challenging. Them being back in school will also mean a quiet house, more homework and after school activities. Soccer and swimming are back in full swing... I love watching them interact in sport activities and watching them grow in strength and endurance. It's so good for them. I will truly miss their presence at home during the day.<br />

This months <a href="http://pagemaps.com/images/2015/sept15pagemaps.htm" target="_blank">PageMaps sketch layout</a> documents last years back to school memories. That year changed everything when little man entered into middle school and no more riding buses together with his sister. Totally changes the dynamics of our daily routine and life in general.<br />
<br />
My interpretation of this months sketch was to use the circle template to set my background foundation. I love circles a lot and love the idea of using this grid for my pictures, title treatment and journaling area to anchor the background. Journaling is interactively tucked inside card and adorned with tags and puffy stickers for accents. The "camera" pattern paper was just perfect for the occasion to boot. I used blue, red and white enamel dots as accents around the images, to simplify the design.<br />

Good morning! This months <a href="http://pagemaps.com/" target="_blank">PageMaps</a> <a href="http://pagemaps.com/images/2015/aug15pagemaps.htm" target="_blank">sketch</a> is a favorite because it involved circles! YES! They are the perfect accent shape and adds a great flow of movement, too. At first I was going to do the opposite of the sketch design and create circle images for my background, but then I thought, wait, I have a lot of pretty embellishments by Pink Paislee, Heidi Swapp and Elle's Studio, to name a few.<br />
<br />

I first punched out a variety of pattern papers to compliment the color palette in my photos and softened them up with vellum. Then embellishing each one with pieces that complimented the story/theme behind the photos and arranging them in a way that would grab attention. Used a dark blue archival pen to create the stitch accents around background and a few circles to balance out the dark blue photo mat that also holds my (oops, I messed up my writing) journaling and title treatment.<br />

This months <a href="http://pagemaps.com/images/2015/july15pagemaps.htm" target="_blank">July sketch layout</a> project for <a href="http://pagemaps.com/" target="_blank">PageMaps</a> is filled with a bit of randomness throughout, but I am digging the sketch design and use of patterns to create my page. My son can never take a photo without making weird and abstract expressions. It's an everyday occurrence. He's quite silly really. It's ok when I just need a quick photo of him, but not so much when we are trying to capture a family photo. But that is the beauty of imperfection, right?! Gotta love his sense of humor! My page is simple, but displays a variety of elements to bring it all together. I even used stamps to frame the photo area and break up the striped background from the images. Journaling is tucked in a pocket element. The white space in the photos leaves ample space for additional embellishing, drawing focus to the images. I used chipboard numbers with the colorful pattern to continue with the directional flow of my page. They don't really have anything to do with the story, but compliments the pages design. Love how it all turned out. This was one of those easy layouts that took me only 45 minutes to make. LOVE when that happens, which is why I love creating with sketches.</div>

This is where the magic happens... my workbench! It's not the traditional style <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FNUTRW4/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00FNUTRW4&linkCode=as2&tag=liasweliit-20&linkId=HWICQZ6KWC4RQX3U" target="_blank">jeweler's bench</a>, but THIS workbench totally works for me. It's spacious with plenty of room to grow. A few weeks back I spent some time reorganizing my work area. It was time to remove all the clutter and improve my work flow. I even found a few treasures that went missing during the process of making cool jewelry. Soon, this work space (the two car garage!) will no longer be... my handy hubby is working on building me my own work shed or as I've heard it's called a "<a href="https://www.pinterest.com/search/pins/?q=she%20shed" target="_blank">she shed</a>". I've managed to score a few windows and an exterior door, thanks to Habitat for Humanity! Super excited for the process of building to begin. In the meantime, I'll continue to enjoy where I create now... my happy place!</div>

Happy Monday! This month has been extremely busy around here with no time to create with pretty paper and embellishments. But I'm happy to share, once again, my layout, Father & Daughter Dance layout I created using <a href="http://www.gossamerblue.com/" target="_blank">Gossamer Blue</a>'s <a href="http://www.gossamerblue.com/product/june-2015-main-kit/" target="_blank">June kits</a>. I mixed and matched products from both the <a href="http://www.gossamerblue.com/product/june-2015-life-pages-kit/" target="_blank">main kit</a>, <a href="http://www.gossamerblue.com/product/june-2015-main-add-on-kit/" target="_blank">add-ons</a> and <a href="http://www.gossamerblue.com/product/june-2015-life-pages-add-on-3/" target="_blank">life pages kits</a>. Too much goodness in each one that I loved using for my layout.</div>

My goal is to consistently add more blog content weekly and new product monthly. With summer break just around the corner, the whole life balancing act will be most prominent. While this is nothing new, I have been preparing myself, mentally and physically, for our new daily life changes with routine. Totally looking forward to days where I spend more time with my littles, soaking up sunshine at the beach, and our family adventures, all while running a small jewelry business. Any spare time I have in the studio creating new product and working on orders is time well spent for sure. Looking forward to it!</span></div>

Hello June! I'm getting exciting for summer with the kids home, to enjoy some lazy summer days, trips to the lake and the ocean and little adventures on our 2015 summer bucket list. One of my goals this summer is to use my camera more often than I have been. As I was finding inspiration for images to scrapbook this months sketch layout, I realized I have slacked off big time. There are memories I know I've not captured that should have been. But no, I was too lazy. On the flip side, I have enjoyed being in the moment without camera in hand. So, this summer, my goal will be to balance it all out being in the moment while capture our life behind the lens.<br />

That said, these images of baby girl and daddy are my favorites thus far. It was a last minute decision she decided to attend her school Father & Daughter Dance. Luckily, I was able to convince Tim taking her and ordering her a wrist corsage... totally appropriate. I even bought her pink lipstick to match her pink and white corsage flowers.<br />
<br />
I love this months <a href="http://pagemaps.com/images/2015/june15pagemaps.htm" target="_blank">PageMaps</a> sketch a lot. There are so many ways to interpret the design for your own scrapbook layout. B&W images were appropriate for this page since I wanted the pastel like colors to pop with the geometric background and gold accents. I love how the overall look turned out. This <a href="http://pagemaps.com/images/2015/june15pagemaps.htm" target="_blank">sketch</a> is sure going to be one of my go to sketches for future projects.<br />
<br />
To complete my <a href="http://pagemaps.com/images/2015/june15pagemaps.htm" target="_blank">June sketch layout</a>, I used <a href="http://www.gossamerblue.com/welcome-to-the-store/" target="_blank">GB</a>'s June kits, which were absolutely perfect for this layout. Totally swooned over the colors and all the pretty embellishments. Made creating this layout that much faster and easier. . Be sure to check out the rest of the team and contributors <a href="http://pagemaps.com/images/2015/june15pagemaps.htm" target="_blank">this months</a>... there is a whole lot of inspiration for creating.<br />

This months <a href="http://www.gossamerblue.com/mixed-media-wall-hanging/" target="_blank">Gossamer Blue blog</a> post is fairly quick and super easy... creating wall art using modeling paste, which I love having on hand! As much as I love creating layouts, I love creating simple crafty projects as well. I don't dabble in mixed media often like I used to, but this was really fun and a nice change for me this month. I loved that it was something I could do that didn't take hours upon hours to complete. For my project, I printed out the lattice background from my Cameo, and used it to create my textured background. After spreading the modeling paste over the design, remove the template and begin adding your embellishments. This will allow the pieces to dry within the paste. Once completely dry, frame it and hang in your home. Super easy!<br />

TGIF and welcome! If you've arrived from <a href="http://cayleegrey.com/" target="_blank">Caylee's blog</a>, you're in the right place. This months kit content was excellent. As always, I'm continually thrilled to create with great product and amazed by the color choices. I especially loved the frames included in the digital files from the main kit. Instead of framing images behind the four openings of the frame, I embellished it with colors and elements to compliment the large image. A very simple design with an explosion of color that doesn't necessarily take away from photo.<br />

This page documents my thoughts about my sons next journey into middle school. How fast times flies when you have children. You want them to grow up and experience life as you have if not better. But I'd prefer to to just slow down a little so I can soak in as much as I can of my kids youth. It's surreal with the first born is becoming a young man, and watching him become who he is a wonderful experience.<br />

It's a really cool and fun project to participate in, especially if you enjoy documenting life with your camera. I don't use my camera as much as I used to, unless I am photographing product. So, this project helps get back into the swing of things, until I fall off the wagon, of course. I mainly used my big 60D camera. It was nice to walk around capturing different parts of our day with the beast. Not a lot of photos snapped, maybe over 100; just enough to tell our story for that day.<br />
<br />
Tuesday's are my Mondays, because on Monday's I'm at the flower shop for a couple of hours and then I tend to run errands or schedule appts on that day since I'm already out of the house. So, I look forward to spending countless hours at my workbench working on orders or new product. This week was also extra busy and challenging since the man is out of town for work. Making sure the kids help with extra tasks is great for me, but apparently, not for them. Moods were challenged, during our morning and bedtime routines, but we managed, as usual.<br />
<br />
Anyway, here's how our day looked...<br />

One of the advantages to having an expandable kitchen table is loading it up with the process of packing orders. It's always an overwhelming feeling... making sure everything is inside each package prior to mailing, handwriting my words of thanks per order, making sure no one receives the incorrect order, arriving in time for a birthday or anniversary, etc. You get my drift.<br />
<br />
The overwhelming feeling goes away when you, the customer sends praise of happiness. That's the best feeling in the world. Plus, I enjoy this part of the process, it allows me to think about what fun little extras to add to each order, like candy, a discount card or even changing up the packaging a bit. None the less, this process is another way for me to reflect on what I've created and how lucky (and blessed) I am to share my creations with those of you around the globe. And I can't thank you enough for this wonderful opportunity you, the customer, has allowed me to do what I love!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04836114260378103327noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2035393136624114094.post-20008432257062117532015-05-01T13:30:00.000-04:002015-05-01T17:33:53.095-04:00Gossamer Blue | May kit, "Pink Blossoms"...Hello again friends, I have another layout share for you today... and boy, are you going to love the kit contents from <a href="http://www.gossamerblue.com/welcome-to-the-store/" target="_blank">Gossamer Blue</a>'s May kits. holy WOW!<br />

Cobalt blue and dark pink... SWOON! I couldn't resist pairing these two colors together to complete my page. I wanted to use the entire sheet of cardstock but wasn't for sure how I was going to do so after I had used the vertical frame from the digital files. Alas, I figured, how cool would it be to have the title peaking through the negative space I cut out. And so I did. No, it's not an intervention, but I like when I can create a page without wasting paper, utilizing every bit of it as much as I possibly could.<br />

I documented about my three favorite flowers growing in our yard and I how I'm not much of a pink kind of girl, but has grown to love and appreciate the color... blame it all on my little lady ;) I love fresh flowers and how they truly brighten up a room and my mood. Their fresh aroma is refreshing, too. So, I deepened the photo images a bit for a more rich color to closely match the pink title treatment area. Set them behind the vertical frame and added dimension to them with a title banner for each flower. Cut out title with Cameo and lined it up as closely as possible so the patterns matched and added the large teal paper flower to balance out the bit of teal color throughout the page. The page had too much white space, so I filled it in with spots of white paint.... kind of like how artsy it looks with the paint spattered about. Breaks up the dark blue a bit, too.<br />

<br />
It's a new month and the weekend is HERE, yay! I'm looking forward to having a few days to catch up on a few TV shows and a movie and relaxing a bit with the family. Plus, our little lady has a birthday towards the end of this month which means, I need to get crackin on planning a little something for her. Not sure what her ideal 8th birthday celebration plans are, but I'm sure we will get it all figured out, sooner or later.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
So, this months <a href="http://pagemaps.com/pagemaps_jpeg.htm" target="_blank">PageMaps</a> sketch is totally FUN! I am so diggin the layers and lines throughout the sketch design, that I couldn't wait to make my page. I had not clue as to which photo I was going to use, but as soon as I decided to use this recent image of little lady, I couldn't wait to include it on my layout.<br />
<br />
I pretty much kept with the overall sketch design, with a few exceptions. I used a small square line pattern of paper to set my foundation and added the printed journaling to the right side of the page. As I began creating the layout, everything else just happened to come together. I used embellishments from <a href="http://www.gossamerblue.com/product-category/scrapbook-kits/" target="_blank">GB</a>s May monthly kits and <a href="http://www.gossamerblue.com/product-category/collections/on-my-desk/" target="_blank">On My Desk</a> pattern paper... added lots of black and gold elements with a splash of purple I pulled from her shirt and headband. I even designed the line grid die-cut, that is available for free <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/nvk3iyow2jsrehu/cliebel_PageMaps_linegrid_may2015.studio3?dl=0" target="_blank">here</a>. Be sure to head on over to <a href="http://pagemaps.com/pagemaps_jpeg.htm" target="_blank">PageMaps</a> for more inspiration.<br />
<br />
And whoa, little lady looks all as if she's already in her early teens....<br />

Happy it's almost Friday friends!<br />
<br />
I'm definitely looking forward to the weekend... excited to meet and hang out with some new friends and quality time with current friends. On top of it all, there will be lots of yard work, school project, jewelry orders and scrapbooking... speaking of which, today's layout share is up on the <a href="http://www.gossamerblue.com/scrapbook-layout-by-cindy/" target="_blank">Gossamer Blue blog</a> today.<br />
<br />
I played around with words for my page as the main focus aside from the super adorable cuteness in the photos! Of course I had to add in some vellum, something I am addicted to lately. You can read more about my page with more closeups the <a href="http://www.gossamerblue.com/scrapbook-layout-by-cindy/" target="_blank">GB blog</a>... xo!<br />

I'm sure I've said it before, rings are my favorite to make. I personally wear several at a time on a daily basis. My favorites to wear are the <a href="http://www.ct2designs.co/product/dainty-beaded-crown-ring" target="_blank">dotted crown</a>, <a href="http://www.ct2designs.co/product/dotted-stacking-rings" target="_blank">dotted chunky</a>, <a href="http://www.ct2designs.co/product/skinny-stacking-ring-sterling-silver" target="_blank">square band</a> and on occasion, the <a href="http://www.ct2designs.co/product/cathedral-shield-ring" target="_blank">cathedral ring</a> and <a href="http://www.ct2designs.co/product/modern-rhythmic-cuff-ring" target="_blank">rhythmic cuff ring</a>. So, I thought it would be fun mixing and matching all of <a href="http://www.ct2designs.co/category/rings" target="_blank">our stackable rings</a> during a mini photo shoot last week. As a visual person, it just made sense to share the different ways you could wear them together. Seriously, a girl can ever have enough stacking rings, right? They are so much fun to mix and match. Dress them up or down, either way, finger candy is fun. More new rings to come and this time they will be dressed up with natural gemstones and more... stay tuned!</div>

Hey there friends, so glad you've made your way to my blog, via <a href="http://cayleegrey.com/" target="_blank">Caylee Grey</a> blog during our monthly design team inspirational blog hop. April kits were super fun, filled with crisp bold colors and super cool pattern papers. I loved mixing it up and doing something different with my layout of my little man, Tyler.<br />
<br />

I hand-cut the alphabet for his name from pattern paper you'll find in the <a href="http://www.gossamerblue.com/product/april-2015-main-add-on-kit/" target="_blank">main add-on kit.</a> I also kept with my tone-on-tone element in the balance out the white space of my page foundation, by using cutouts from the digital files found in both the <a href="http://www.gossamerblue.com/product/april-2015-main-kit/" target="_blank">main</a> and <a href="http://www.gossamerblue.com/product/april-2015-life-pages-kit/" target="_blank">life pages</a> kits. And I used mist, ha... that is something I rarely use on my layouts. But for this page, it's a great element and contrast with the stark white background. The style of this layout is different for me, but I love how freeing it was to create and stepping out of the box to make something totally different.<br />
<br />
His comical expression, being himself, during a series of selfie just blew me away. We were hanging out at the beach for a little while before we made the long drive home. Soaking up as much summer sunshine as we possibly could. I just loved that he took the time to capture his fun-loving self, pure happiness right there.<br />

I just realized I am not prepared for Easter this year. Have no clue as to what our plans will be but I know I need to hurry and stock up on some eggs for the girl to begin coloring so she can enjoy hunting for eggs. I love that she is still into it... it's another way for her to be creative with her hands.<br />

This months <a href="http://pagemaps.com/images/2015/apr15pagemaps.htm" target="_blank">PageMaps</a> <a href="http://pagemaps.com/images/2015/apr15pagemaps.htm" target="_blank">layout sketch</a> was a challenge for me. All the layering of various pattern papers was different for me, but I really enjoyed the idea of piecing it all together. As seen in the images, I used a very light, subtle background for the layouts foundation and piled on the patterns that I felt gave the page a cohesive look. Mixed up the title treatment a bit but kept it simple, allowing all the colors on this page to pop. And of course, I had to throw in a bit of gold!!!<br />

Wow, this <a href="http://www.gossamerblue.com/product/april-2015-main-kit/" target="_blank">months kits</a> are extraordinary... there are all kinds of reasons to love <a href="http://www.gossamerblue.com/" target="_blank">Gossamer Blue</a> this month, the kits were filled with so many "I Am" Simple Stories products... Swoon! April kits are yum and so inspiring. I really enjoyed documenting last years Easter pics of my little girl. All the embellishments and color palette really compliments her dress her Grammie made her, which I just adored. I couldn't help myself and just use a few products... I got a little carried away and just went with what inspired me. Adding all those elements in a cluster and backing it with the digital background file was fun!<br />
<br />
Be sure to pick up your <a href="http://www.gossamerblue.com/product/april-2015-main-kit/" target="_blank">April kit </a>TODAY while supplies last! You'll have a wonderful time creating pages with this years Easter and everyday images.<br />
