So how about a GIVEAWAY!

Now that you've seen all 4 of the new collections from GCD Studios how would you like to own them? Yep, I thought so! LOL All you have to do is visit the GCD Studios blog between today and Sunday (by 12pm PST) and leave a comment. The winner will be announced on Monday along with our Guest Artist for August. Pretty cool right?

And I just want to say THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for all of the wonderful comments you all left on my blog these past few days. You definitely know how to make a girl smile! :)

GCD Studios Blog Party - Day 4

Hi everyone! Today is the last day of the GCD Studios Blog Party! By now you probably all know the drill - be sure to start your blog hop over at the GCD Studios blog and then just follow the links to each of the design team members. Leave some love along the way especially at the last blog on the list for your chance to be entered into a random drawing to win the collection of the day.

Today we are featuring the Morning Glory Collection. This is such a pretty collection with a great mix of blue and yellow (my favorite color of the moment). With so many great shades of blue in this collection it made sense to scrap some more photos from our Ocean City vacation. This is my oldest son Darian - he was FEARLESS when it came to ridin' the waves!


Now hoppity hop along to see what Sherry has created with this collection.

Christmas in July ?!?

Yep! We had a little "Christmas in July" theme going over at Black River Designs this month. I wanted to share one of the projects I created using their fabulous papers while you're all waiting for some new stuff (which I promise is coming next week). :)


I've probably said it before but I'll say it again - I just LOVE all of the fun patterns and bright colors in these papers. They are fabulous!

Christmas will be here before you know it! Here's a little clock to tell just how soon Santa will be visiting ...

Back from vacation ...

... and already feeling like I need another one! LOL Seriously I am swamped with all sorts of projects, editing nearly 700 photos I took while away, and just life in general and of course I have nothing crafty to share with you all just yet (next week I will ... I promise!). So I leave you with a photo from vacation that basically sums up how we spent our time in Ocean City! :)

My what a glorious morning!

Good morning everyone! Isn't it glorious? Not only is it Friday and I am busy getting ready for a (much needed) week long vacation at the Jersey shore tomorrow, but today is the last day of new release reveals at GCD Studios. This last line has such vibrant colors and patterns and features my go-to color of the moment ... yellow!

Morning Glory

Each patterned paper is double-sided and has a coordinating color on the back
