I combined a card made from my Anna Griffin Window Frame Card Making Kit and a Gorjuss Girl, cut from a metal die. I love mixing and matching my paper doll clothes made from my dies and rubber stamps.<br />

I thought I’d share a cute little Folio/Mini Album with you. I happen to have a collection leftover from last year that I thought was so cute, Photoplay’s Matilda & Godfrey. The inspiration for the design of the Folio came from Ginger, My Sisters Scrapper on You Tube. She did a tutorial called, Simple Stories, Welcome Spring File Folder Project. A great little project and perfect for beginners! The shaker frame on the front of my album was inspired by Brigitte, from shoeprincess1 on You Tube. I loved the way she used card stock to build her shaker frame, that’s right, no foam tape! The end result is clean, polished and very sturdy! Anyway, I hope you’ll check out both of these ladies on You Tube, they are wonderful teachers!<br />

I'm super excited to share my first Design Team Project for Pages In Time Scrapbooking/Mixed Media Store! If you haven't seen the Planner's from Prima Marketing, they are gorgeous. There are four Planners to choose from and so many accessories...Prima has really taken the Planner craze to a whole new level. I'm happy to say that they are available at Pages In Time Scrapbooking/Mixed Media Store. Please stop by the store's Facebook page and either message Karen or give her a call to place an order.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I had so much fun decorating my planner, designed by Frank Garcia. I used Prima's Mint Pom Pom, a Hello Weekend Shaker, Champagne Hole Reinforcers, Julie Nutting Doll Die & Stamps (Valentina), as well as misc. Prima and Sizzix Dies. To stay organized inside I used Prima's Planner List Pads, Sticky Notes and Prima Clear Stamps. I'm only keeping 3-6 month's in my planner at a time to allow for decorating and art journal pages. Seriously, I never thought I'd have any use for a planner, strictly because I'm no longer able to work but I've always been a person who writes notes constantly and am passionate about art. I'm now convinced I will use my planner and possibly even do some journaling...something I've always wanted to do. The plan is to change my Dashboard layout every month...how fun, right? Hope you'll give this a try!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I truly love them and knew I wanted to make them the focal point of my Christmas canvas. Looking through my stash I also discovered some old Christmas floral picks and candle rings and decided to cut them apart to use as filler. Wanting to put a whimsical modern spin into my arrangement, I decided to die cut leaves out of burlap. I began by preparing my canvas with gesso and stenciling some snowflakes. I then painted over everything with Art Alchemy Paints, Prima Bloom Sprays and Glass Glitter. I enjoyed the process and really liked the results! It felt great using up some of my stash too! I hope you'll give this a try!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I can't believe there's only 2 days until Christmas, where does the time go? Hubby and I are grateful to spend a few days with each of our 4 girls. My mom is also here from Colorado, she has Alzheimer's which makes each visit very precious. I hope and pray that each of you will spend time with your loved ones making new memories!<br />
<br />
I wanted to share a Christmas Canvas I made, inspired by Adrienne Ford's, Live With Prima Class! I couldn't wait to make a canvas using some of Adrienne's techniques as well as techniques I'd learned in Finnabair's class! As you can see it's packed with all kinds of Prima goodies!

I couldn't wait to show you this little flip card I made with my Anna Griffin Dies from her Flip Card Kit. The kit comes with tons of beautiful cardstock and embellishments! After making several cards I decided to use some Graphic 45 paper I had on hand. I thought if would be fun to also make some matching flowers by using a couple sizes of punches. WARNING...they are addicting!!! I always love the idea of using up some of my paper pads and this was the perfect project for that! Hope you'll give this a try!<br />

I couldn't resist, I had to share a second Gorjuss Girl Easel Card with you! There's just something about playing with paper dolls no matter how old we get, isn't there? I'm definitely not an expert with my Copic Markers but I sure do enjoy playing with them. These little cards are a perfect way to use up those 6x6 paper pads we all have sitting around and the prints are just the right size for paper piecing and layering. I hope you'll give it a try!<br />

This year was very special for me, I was able to enjoy time with my mom, even though she's in the late stages of Alzheimers. I truly believe this was a holiday she will always remember. I took a few moments to print some pictures to remind her of our time together. A little ziplock bag with a few pictures meant the world to her.<br />
<br />
If you're like me you're probably thinking about creating a holiday project! It's such a fun time of year to create! I'm hoping to start on something this week. In the meantime I thought I'd take a few minutes to share a project I made a few months ago. Aren't Gorjuss Girl stamps just adorable? I never get tired of creating cards with them!<br />

Hope everyone is enjoying the Fall weather! I had the honor of taking a class this summer at Pages In Time/Mixed Media Store in Nebraska, taught by Prima Educator, John Creighton Petersen. What a fabulous person and so talented! Oh, and BTW he was recently asked to be a member of Finnabair's Design Team...Congrats, John!!!<br />
<br />
I really enjoyed creating our class project. It actually started life as a wooden cigar box. Once I took my box home I continued to work on it for short periods until it was finished...two weeks later! I have to admit, I love how it turned out! Be sure to stop by John's blog- Artnewave<br />

I can say without a doubt that God sent an angel when he brought you to her. You loved her as a mother would her own child.

You gave her the ability </span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="color: #141823; display: inline; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">to be an artist, a singer, a dancer, a swimmer, an animal lover, a princess, a girly girl and so much more. With you she was a daughter, beautiful and loved in every way. I know in my heart she was looking down on you as you tried so hard to breathe life back into her. She loved you so much and will always be in your heart, watching over you and smiling down on you as she dances to Cyndi Lauper! I am so proud of you, my daughter and will always be right here for you. I love you so much and am so thankful for you and all that you did for her. </span><br />

I can't imagine where the time has gone. We had a nice Christmas, enjoying 10 days with our daughter from San Francisco! My favorite memories are when all four of our girls are under one roof! Our time together is never long enough but is the absolute best part of the holidays!<br />
<br />
After getting our tree up and decorated, I decided to make a Christmas canvas. My canvas was inspired by my girl...Prima Educator, Adrienne Ford! She taught a Ustream class on 10-30-14. Her floral canvas was breathtaking!<br />
<br />
My canvas is loaded with Prima products. I used a ton of Finnabair's Art Basics, Prima's Bloom Color Sprays, Silk Paints, Golden Paints, Prima Flowers, Wild Orchid Craft Flowers and Prima Metals.<br />
<br />
Hope you'll check out Adrienne's video and try some of her techniques! <a href="http://www.ustream.tv/channel/primaflower">http://www.ustream.tv/channel/primaflower</a><br />

A couple of weeks ago, thanks to Karen Mattison, I had the privilege of taking a class taught by the amazing artist, designer and educator, Ania Dabrowska (Finnabair)! She is truly amazing, so talented and fun to be around, not to mention a fabulous teacher! The class was held at our local scrapbook store, Pages In Time/ Purses and More, in Lincoln, Nebraska.<br />
<br />
Only having dabbed a tiny bit in mixed media, I'm now truly loving it and can't wait to get started on my next Finnabair inspired project!<br />
<br />
I wanted to share my journal cover, made with lots of Finnabair Mechanicals and LuminArte Silk Acrylic Glazes<br />

Hope everyone is having a good summer. Hubby and I were just getting used to the whole empty nesters way of life, when daughter #3 injured her back. I spent 2 wks in the hospital with her following surgery, which was on Mothers Day. She too has Lupus...Needless to say Lupus always makes everything far more complicated than you're ever prepared for. Thankfully, she is doing much better and looking forward to going back to work in a couple of weeks. Clearly, moving home wasn't part of her summer plan, but I think we can agree, we're all very thankful to have one another!<br />
<br />
Thought I would share a cute little Get Well Card made with my very favorite stamps. Like many of you, I am a Gorjuss Girl fan! This stamp is the "Pretend Friend" Gorjuss Girl.<br />

Hope you're having a relaxful weekend! We're finally saying goodbye to the frigid temps…at least temporarily! I don't know about you but I can't wait for SPRING to arrive!<br />
<br />
I thought it would be fun to create a layout of my hubby enjoying a day of cycling!<br />
<br />
The layout was created using the digital printables form Garett Smith's "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" and Marion Smith's "Grand" and "Scarlet" printables, found at MarionSmithDesigns.com. The "Bicycle Classics" digital stamp is by KPertiet from DesignerDigitals.com. The frame is by Melissa Renfro from Scrapgirls.com. I used an Aged Metal Style in Rust by Brandy Murry, also from Scrapgirls.com. I really loved the way it matched the rust color of the bridge. The paint splatters are by BellaGypsy "You Are My Happy", Scrapgirls.com, colored with a Distress Brown Style from Brandy Murry. Each of the photo mats and shapes were created using Syndee Nuckles "Shapes Fancy" from her ScrapSimple Tools line found at Scrapgirls. As someone who loves my Big Shot die cutting machine, I really enjoy using these shapes when creating digital pages, to achieve the same type of result.<br />

He is my rock, my everything and my forever!<br />

I enjoyed using the burlap for the base page with the damask overlay. It gave it the formal look it needed and was a little unexpected!<br />

Thought I'd share a quick and easy layout with you. I was inspired by Becky Higgins and Project Life. Wanting to give it a try, I decided to make my own digital version using a grid on Photoshop Elements. The grid made building a frame fairly easy. Saving it in a digital format means that it can be used over and over again, which I love! The digital papers and embellies were from the kit Pink, by Vinnie Pearce, purchased from Scrapbook Graphics.<br />

I have a fun piece to share with you. It was a complete surprise, as I was just playing around with digi masks, brushes and blending modes. Jamie's picture reminded me of Vintage Hollywood so I wanted to use browns and creams for a sepia finish. As you can see, masks can be used in many ways. Instead of using them to achieve s seamless blended finish, I extended the edges beyond the photo, adding more than one mask, leaving a blotchy painted look to the page. Adding a Damask style brush added some elegance, while using the Steampunk brush as a crown added a bit of whimsy. I finished with a piece of jewelry from my Grandmother. It's all about having fun…Hope you'll join me!<br />

I hope you enjoyed the holidays! We were blessed to have all 4 girls together for Christmas. Our daughter flew in from San Francisco, spent 2 weeks with us, flew home in order to work for a couple of weeks, then flew back to Nebraska to spend another week with us. Sadly, she is heading back to school in just 2 short days. I will miss her so much but am very thankful for every day we've had together! It's a lot of fun when your kiddos grow up and think of you as their best friend!<br />

I wanted to share a shabby card inspired by the amazing artist, Jules! We both fell in love with a card we'd seen on Pinterest. Jules, the wonderful artist that she is, was able to create something all her own, the result was simply beautiful. After seeing her tutorial, I couldn't wait to make my own!<br />

We were able to fly our daughter home from San Francisco for a much needed break from school and visit with family and friends. She has been attending college full time, working and staying up until all hours of the morning studying. Needless to say, she couldn't wait to get home and we couldn't wait to have her home!<br />
<br />
She and I have always wanted to create a project together. I was thrilled to learn that she had been designing something very special for me...A beautiful digital doll stamp! I watched as she sat at her computer drawing each little detail, from clothing to make up. I was so excited, I couldn't wait to create my first layout with my very own stamp. Her name is Sage!<br />
<br />
I chose Marion Smith's new digital printable line, Scarlet! The butterfly patterned background held a special meaning for me, as the butterfly is the symbol for Lupus. The past few weeks have been met with several complications, as a result I decided to title my layout, "Courage!"<br />
<br />
You can order Marion's new collection at <a href="http://www.marionsmithdesigns.com/scarlet-12x12-8x8-or-6x6-printable-papers-and-embellishments-please-sign-into-an-account-before-purchase.html">http://www.marionsmithdesigns.com/scarlet-12x12-8x8-or-6x6-printable-papers-and-embellishments<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

This one is very similar to the one I made for Jodie and will be on display at the Pages In Time Scrapbook Store. The paper is from My Minds Eye. I often work with both 12x12 sheets of paper as well as a 6x6 paper pad. So many colors and patterns and everything is coordinated...Love it!<br />

No longer a teen, in what seems like the blink of an eye, she's become a beautiful young woman! I honestly couldn't be prouder!<br />
<br />
Wanting to make something special but needing to keep it simple, I decided to make her a little pouch, which would be perfect as a money or gift card holder. I'd seen Marion Smith and Steff Miller make these several times and always loved the way they looked. I used a black Celebration bag from Michaels, which was the perfect height to hold my Prima Doll Stamp. To cover the pouch I used Marion Smith's Garment District Printables...love the muted vintage look! For the journaling spot I used Marion Smith's Cottage Chic Printables, decreasing the size to 3". I stamped the doll image on a Prima Julie Nutting Tag, then used My Minds Eye Papers for the dress as well as the doily, from Tim Holtz On The Edge Die. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the little wood bird is from Prima, which I distressed with Prima Chalk Ink. I also used the chalk inks to distress my edges. I love the way it glides onto the paper, leaving the perfect amount of coverage...thank you, to Ingvild Bolme.<br />
<br />
If you've not had a chance to play with the Prima Doll Stamps, take a few minutes, relax and give it a try! Can't wait to see what you create!<br />

I'm always amazed at Steff Miller's ability to design a mini album that is pure eye candy! Her blog is, <a href="http://withagrin.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">http://withagrin.blogspot.com/</a> She's also a wonderful educator with Prima! To create this project you may copy and paste the URL to your browser. http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/33241421. In her tutorial she will take you through the process step by step. You can change the order of your page construction as I did, to make it your own! I also changed it up a bit by using the Lyric and Divine Paper Collections, by Prima! The embellishments used are also from Prima! Hope you'll give this one a try!<br />

As always, I appreciate all of you so very much! As many of you know I struggle daily with Lupus and Scleroderma. Many of us are on chemo and other IV meds to help control our disease. Unfortunately, these drugs leave us with an immune system suppressed and vulnerable to serious infections, which can also be life threatening. A recent CT Scan has detected what may be a serious and rare type of pneumonia. I will have a Bronchoscopy tomorrow. Once the samples of my lung are analyzed we will discuss a treatment plan, which will include 3 antibiotics for a year and possible lung resection if the treatment fails. I am usually very brave but I can honestly say, I'm scared and would appreciate your prayers...Love & Hugs,</div>
