I got to scrap this weekend!

It's so nice to know that my love for scrapbooking is still there!  It's been some time since I got to really sit down and spend some time scrapping and I was able to this weekend and it felt good!  When I first started scrapbooking during my Creative Memory days I was a chronological scrapper because they said there was no other way to do it.  As I looked at the two pages I finished this weekend I had to laugh as one if from his first day and the next when he is 10 months!  I think I missed a whole bunch in between!  lol!  But I'm okay with that.  These are the pictures that inspired me and I'll get back to the middle ground some time.  So thankful that I found what worked for me in scrapbooking as I know I would have thrown in my towel long ago if I had to scrap the way I was first taught to!

Scrapping Again!

It's been quite awhile since I've done any work for a company and it feels good to be doing something like that again!  I remember the days when design team work was what I lived for!  I loved the challenge of creating something for a company with their products and being able to push my creativity in ways I may not otherwise.  It was always such a honor to be able to share my work in such ways and to even see those pages in their booths at the shows or even in scrapbooking magazines.  It really seems like a lifetime ago that that was such an important part of my life!  This really is the first time in a long time that I've taken a break from scrapbooking.  Moving and having a baby in the last 2 years really put that on hold for me and it was something I needed to do.  But I'm feeling the love for it again and it's a very good feeling!  It's nice to know that I haven't lost that passion and that it still excites me to see my finished pages and seeing whats in my head come to life in my page.  And of course it helps to have a brand new subject to scrap and want to give him some pages to go along with the (literally) hundreds that I have of his sister!  

So I'm doing some design work for Queen and Company again and I just love their stuff!  Wendy has always produced some of my favorite products to put on my pages and it's nice to see she is still putting out those amazing products.  Here's my first layout I've done with some of their tape.  Love Love Love this stuff!  

Some Etsy Custom orders...

I know it's been awhile since I've blogged!  Life has been a little busy I guess.  Busy getting ready for our new little one for sure!

I've also been busy with some custom orders from my etsy shop and I have loved working on these banners.  Just wanted to show them off here too.  

My Etsy Shop!

I have been wanting and  meaning to do this for a long time now but just kept putting it off.  I am proud to say that's my etsy shop is finally up and running!  Granted I only have 1 item in it, but it's a start!  I have more to put up but for now that will have to do.

I have a passion to share my work with others and hopefully this will be a way to do just that!  I so enjoy the process of creating something that I know will help bring a special memory to someone somewhere.

Here is my first piece of work that I'm selling...

 

I hope to be able to make some extra moolah to help us breathe a little easier since things are pretty tight right now.  I know a lot of us feel that way and I'm just trying to do my part and help my wonderful hard working amazing husband out just a little.  :)  You can check out my shop here is you want to take a look.  

Here is my logo that I made up for the shop as well.  :)
