Virtual Blog Hop...

Hi Friends! I received a message from a Co DT member for XOXO Scrapbooking , Michelle Perrini O'Driscoll. She asked me to participate in a virtual blog hop! I was very honored and said yes. I was to answer 4 questions.

1.) What are you working on? For me I have been working on organizing my scrap room. This seems to be a continual thing for me as I'm always looking for a better way to organize. I just purchased a new bookcase/cubby from Ikea and love how my photo books are able to stand straight up instead of lying flat!

I put tools in this cubby

Extra stamps in this cubby.

I have an empty cubby that I haven't quit figured out what to put in it.  Any suggestions?

2.) How does your work differ from others? I don't know how to describe my I tend to have my own style of simple/cutesy.  

3.)Why do I create like I do? I love when I'm able to find spare time to get in my craft room and be creative. My family enjoys looking through the scrapbooks I create and relive the memories that I try to preserve.

4.) How does my creative process work? I first pick a sketch challenge I like and then choosing the photos I believe will work with it. Then I choose the paper and embellies. Sometimes a page comes together very quickly and other times I need to walk away from it and come back later with a fresh mind. 

I would love for you to join in the scraplift challenge we have going on @ XOXO Scrapbooking this month! We have an awesome scraplift page by our GDT Joanne . I will be posting my scraplift layout later this week.

Here's Joanne's page-

Cherished....

Hi Friends!  How do you start a layout?  Do you choose the sketch first or the pictures?  For me I usually start with the sketch,then I pull out the photos.
For this layout I chose a sketch from Life, Paper, Scrapbook.  I used an old family photo and paired it up with some paper I have had in my stash for a few years.

All Wet...

Hi Friends!  I don't know about you but I have been so busy lately.  I actually finished this layout last week but had no time to photograph it.  I used a sketch from My Creative Sketches.  My layout coordinates with the layout I posted before this one so I didn't title it.

Soak Up the Sun...

Hi Friends!  I have a layout to share with you today for Life, Paper, Scrapbook color mood board challenge.   Of course I was inspired by the colors in the challenge they are some of my favorite.

I rolled the banner down after I inked it and stapled.  I used Martha Stewart Opaque markers to add the dots.
