Getting Started again...

Well I did it...completed a scrapbook layout.  I know doesn't sound like much but I have not scrapbooked since moving and well haven't really wanted to.  My stress level has been too high.  I also feel guilty to go craft and leave Scott alone.  I know he's ok its just I don't want to miss any time I can spend with him.  Cancer really changes how you feel about every day and the time we have.    But that small part of me inside that loves it has been whispering to me.  I have to say I am having a hard time with creative juices which has upset me  and I would walk away and give up.  So yesterday I was determined not to walk away.  I had to realize i needed to start simple again. So my layout is simple but complete!!! yeah!  I would post a photo but I think its to simple and not really "post" worthy...but I got it done and will move on to the next layout and hopefully that one is better.

Teacher Gifts

Here's a craft I did with my friend Dana...it was her idea she got from a friend. These are keychains to give out to teachers as thank you's for the end of the year. What a cool and easy idea. Keychains were fairly cheap at Michaels...I used cricut to cut out the letters, the paper is retired CTMH set Veranda, the stamp set on the back is retired set Coffee Stain..the saying is " you leave an impression on me". 

Chantilly Workshop On The Go

 

Here's my take on the Chantilly Workshop.  I don't have summer photos right now...I'll em later.  Since I'm just getting started again with CTMH I don't have all the new colors.  I substituted Sweet Leaf  and Garden Green in this layout. I did use the Cotton Candy.  Lovin it!  You can see all the Workshops on the Go and order any of them from my website.

I am back!

I had to leave CTMH in 2010.  I moved from Wichita to Bluffton SC.  Things didn't go as planned.  After living here for 6 months my husband was diagnosed with cancer.  Well life has be a roller coaster and I put crafting and myself on the back burner, no I turned off crafting all together.  But I still love to craft so with some helpful pushes by a beloved friend and now my upline I have rejoined the CTMH team, yeah!  We are still in the battle against cancer, he is stage 4 but we are hopeful and live life to the fullest everyday!  I just really need to craft again for me.  So check back I will be posting as soon as I get my first project done!
