a spring house

combine a mixture of tim holtz, melody ross and add in some other spring related embellies and you end up with a fun and decorative house to pretty up your space.  i was very happy to see the melody ross collection arrive in the scrapbook store this spring.  i have been following melody at - bravegirlsclub.com for more that a year now.  she is quite an inspiration to me, be sure to take a few minutes to check out her site!

pause to organize

as a new blogger my hope is to inspire and share some of my creative endeavours.  creativeness for me means that i surround myself with many treasures that inspire me.  as such i have acquired  a lot of stuff!!!  i tend to prefer to create that to organize which means that i sometimes re-buy things that i already have and love.  so today i spent a little time labelling and laminating one  of my favourite treasures...my (mostly) tim holtz dies.  after laminating the paper packaging from the dies i punched holes in the top corner and joined them together with a ring.  this will hang this in my scrap space as a visual reminder of the amazing die cutting possibilities.

welcome to my blog

i am beginning this blog with happiness in my heart.  i am excited to share with you my creative journey.  i love to scrap, make cards and create art that celebrates life, family and friends.
