Down But Not Out!

The last few months have been pretty rough for me. I have been down with a back injury and have been receiving treatment for that. It's rough. It's taking months but I'm still here!

Today I decided I wanted to spend some of this time working on a few pages of my granddaughter. Though I don't get to see her in person lots I do get to Skype with her almost daily :) the following is my first attempt at an albums made easy by We R Memory Keepers Pockets using Teresa Collins "Save the date". I chose this line because it matched the color of my granddaughters outfit. I used TC sequins attaching them with Xyron's Teresa Collins Clear Hold Adhesives (they need this amazing glue in LARGE bottles). The header background I ran through my Teresa Collins EBosser to add an extra touch to the beautiful Teresa Collins paper. 

It was fun to do but the next one I'll be kicking it up a notch :-)

New Logo :-)

Did you ever have a vision in your head of what you wanted but there was NO way ever you'd be able to recreate that graphically. My new logo was exactly that. I had a 5 minute conversation with my niece who is also an amazing artist. She went home, we discussed it another 5 minutes through Facebook chat and she created this amazing graphic that is EXACTLY what I wanted! Thank YOU so much RNLaing I love you. I want to share her with the world so that everyone else can see her work. I'm sure the world may not be visiting my site however someone is..so here are her links.

Amazing weekend at the Scrapdoodles Retreat in Glen Allen, Va.

I had an amazing experience this weekend! My husband Tony and daughters Stacey and Jessica got me 3 classes with Teresa Collins at the Scrapdoodles Retreat at the Wyndham Virginia Crossings Hotel & Conference Center in Glen Allen Virginia.

As you can see its beautiful!

The classes were amazing! Teresa Collins is the sweetest most genuine person I have ever met in my life. Her classes are so detailed that there is no way you can leave without having a beautiful project!

She had time to actually speak with me and there is no doubt she is everything I thought she was. She is a woman of faith, loves her family and is a loving wife.

Do I look like a groupie!? Lol

My husband came with me to the retreat and had to help me a bit because I am on crutches and actually sat through the last class and embossed with The Teresa Collins Ebosser by Craftwell. 

He also made a trip to the store at the retreat and bought the entire new release Teresa Collins line!!

{videos coming soon}. 

Scrapdoodles located at 1315 Central Park Blvd., Fredericksburg, VA 22401 is the superstore for scrapbookers, card makers or crafters in general. It is what I call HEAVEN! 

My husband went above and beyond to make sure that I had an amazing time this weekend. He is the sweetest man in the world and I'm honored to be his wife :-)

It was an amazing weekend and I'm still floating!

Keep Crafting!!

Memory Tray

Last month my daughter and I took my granddaughter to visit my parents in Louisiana. It was a great trip :-) my daughter took some pretty amazing pictures while we were there. I decided to make my very first memory tray! I used Teresa Collins line "You are my Happy". One sticker from MME "cut and paste". And a Recollections memory tray from Michaels. I used Xyron's Teresa Collins Runner and Teresa Collins liquid adhesive by Xyron in her class kit. I love projects that allow me to display  my pictures and memories. This line is perfect for this project because my family is my happy :-)

Welcome!!

Welcome to my blog! 

It's all about the projects!!
