Top 14 Of 2014

Hello friends! Happy New Year's Eve!  It has been quite the year.  Personally, it has had it's good times and it's bad times.  The best part of this year was definitely the creative part of my life.  Some of my scrapbooking goals were achieved and some of my dreams came true for 2014 so for my last blog post for this year, I thought I would share fourteen of my favorite layouts.  Some of these layouts give me a warm and fuzzy feeling, some I enjoyed the creative process and some I was honored to be published in some scrapbooking magazines and scrapbook manufacturer's newsletters such as Bella Blvd. and Fancy Pants Designs.  So here they are:

There are many more layouts and projects that I created for design teams and just because I wanted to create for no reason at all.  They can be found on my gallery at Scrapbook.com.  I created approximately 140 layouts and projects this year and enjoyed the journey.  In 2015 I plan to create, take some classes and work on my photography skills.

Thanks for being part of 2014 with me and visiting my blog.  I wish the best to all my friends, family, scrapbooking friends and blog followers.  May 2015 be your best year yet!

A Layout Published in Scrapbook And Cards Today

Hello friends! Today I am so honoured and excited to share that I have my first layout published in the Winter 2014 Issue of Scrapbook And Cards Today! The layout I created is of this handsome little guy.  My good friend Stephanie Kuzio snapped these beautiful photos.  The full page layout can be found on Page 67.

I used an Echo Park Paper Collection called Keepin' Cozy for the patterned papers and stickers and cut the snowflake frame and the title (from the Silhouette America Online Store) on white card stock with my Silhouette Cameo and then "painted" the title with some Heidi Swapp Colorshine Mist and also some splatters.  Finally I added some wood embellishments.  This layout was inspired by a sketch designed by Kristine Davidson.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!

Scrapbook And Cards Today Magazine Ombre Challenge

Summertime Nails

What a surprise to see my layout featured on the Scrapbook And Cards Today Magazine's Blog!  There was a challenge to create a card or layout to do with the ombre craze.  Check it out here.

Ombre is everywhere these days and I love it!  My sketch was courtesy of Scrapbook Challenges Sketch #310 designed by the talented digital designer Tanyia where I am also on their design team.  Thanks for stopping by!

The Colour Suite Challenge

I am working on an art journal at the moment and it's so much fun to get words out onto paper and get inky and messy with paint and other mediums.

Scrapbook and Cards Today Magazine has a monthly challenge.  It's The Colour Suite Challenge.  They give a palette of colours and it challenges me to get creative with the colours.  I thought I would try it as I love all the colors.  It almost looks like halloween colours.  My page reads Be Bold...Live Out Loud.
