Hello fellow bloggers. I will be out of town for 1 week. I will be back on the 10th. There will not be any entries until after that date. I should have a bunch of new layouts and books to put on.
Talk to you all soon. Happy scrappin.

Water - Ocean - Vacation - Paradise
What more can you say. While we are all dreaming about warm sunshine and the way it glistens on the water, well, it's time to prepare for the summer and or the photos from a winter vacation. Warmth of the sun, a cool drink, what else is there?
As you can see above that is the theme of the 3 layouts. The papers are very light and airy and show off the colors of the beach and sunshine. Dig your toes in and let it go. Get yourself ready for a wonderful summer and think about how you can scrap your pictures. Choose papers that will convey the very special feelings and thoughts of a special time.
Thanks for looking and leave me a hello once in a while. Have a good one and keep scrappin.

OUTRAGEOUS
Browns, blue, and cream colors all blend together to make an outstanding layout. This is a perfect combination for a male. Young or old. The paper is made by Little Yellow Bicycle. The layout is accented with Bazzill Basics Paper in navy and brown. The piece of plain cream on the top page is make special for journaling. I really liked working with this paper set.
Have a wonderful day and keep scrappin.

TOAD-LY ME



Toads, bugs & flowers. This paper was so cute I could not resist. I chose my base and accent paper, proceeded to cut out the flowers, bugs and toads. The flowers are a mixture of fake and the ones I cut out. The bugs are enjoying the flowers and the toads are overseeing the whole page. Just a simple and sweet way to frame your photos.



Try something new today. Have a wonderful weekend.

2 Layouts and a Card
Thank You - just a very pretty and spring time card. On the inside there is plenty of room for your favorite poem, photo or anything you think would let the recipient know that you are thankful for them.
Mom and Mother - a really pretty 2 page layout for the special mother in your life. It is easily put together and you just add precious pictures and journaling. Now you are ready to go. Ribbons, flowers and embossed punches were used and add a wonderful dimension.

Brothers - is very boy and I used jute to outline the photo mats. The paper is made by Glitz and is multicolored dinos and the other page is Glitz notebook paper. Please take your time and look at the layouts and card. I am having such a wonderful time making layouts and other items for the store. I am going to put them all on my site so I can share my ideas with you.

Have a wonderful day and happy scrappin.

Hello everyone. I just had to write and send you a letter that I received from one of my customers today. I am so touched and am so grateful that she chose my book to give to her friend. Here is the letter.
"Hello Sandra...
I just needed to send you a personal note of thanks and tell you that this album, Sweet 16 is beyond beautiful. The photos on ebay just don't do it service. You are an exceptional designer and I'm sending you lots of applause.
The young woman who'll be receiving this for her Birthday is one who overcame an early childhood cancer. No medical professional said she'd be here...all of us knew better. We celebrate her this year with "Clear" thought processes of health and beauty.
This Album .. is that and more.
Thank you so very much for showering this world with such lovely things to express one's love.
Blessings to you and yours. Dar"
I know that this letter really tugged at my heart. I have added this young 16 year old young lady to my prayer list. I ask that you do the same. I am sure that every thought and prayer will be appreciated.
Everyone have a wonderful day on Tuesday and I will talk to you again on Wednesday.
Sandra
