Hello!  I couldn't remember if I had shared this journal on my blog yet. If I have, so sorry! I tried to go back and find it, and after 5 minutes just decided to post it (I am not a patient gal)!  For today's Free 4 All challenge on SCS, we were to make anything but a card.  I made this several months ago, but thought it was worth sharing.

Having three kids makes for busy days that sometimes seem chaotic at best.  I am REALLY far behind on my scrapbooking, so I decided to keep a little notebook or journal in my purse, so that when my kids say something that I want to remember, I will have it recorded on paper.  It always makes me so mad when I try to think back on a moment, and know that one of the boys said something profound or just darn cute, but I can't remember it EXACTLY.  This has helped me out a great deal.  I will admit that sometimes I am even too busy to drag it out of my purse and write, but I am certainly catching more than I ever used to.

Thanks for stopping by today!

FWF: Just As You Are....

Happy Friday!  Excited to play along with FWF, since I haven't in awhile.  I used stamps from Melody Ross's One Of A Kind set. LOVE this set!  I colored the bird and the girl's hair and skin with Copic markers and then pieced her dress.  Added some hand dyed seam binding and a crocheted flower and button to finish it off.

Thanks for stopping by!

Creating stamped backgrounds using sentiments...

Hello! Today's post features cards I made for the Free 4 All challenge on SCS.  The challenge was to create a background on your card, by repeatedly stamping sentiments.   I hadn't done this in ages!  It was so much fun, I made two cards.


The second card uses stamps from Melody Ross's Domestic Bliss kit by Unity.  I used two different color pink inks for the cake, and then lined some hot pink Kaiser pearls between the two layers.  My background panel was created using the "eat cake" sentiment.  I distressed all of the paper using Old Paper distress ink.

The second card is for the Moxie Fab Monochromatic color challenge.  You can see the colors below:

The Bazzill equivalents are Bubblegum, Precious, and Pinkini.

Thanks for stopping by!
