The wind of change is a blowin'

I have to say that very sadly I have neglected my blog, but worse yet my creativity has been put on hold. I feel the wind of change. First it was a slight breeze every once in awhile. Now it is getting stronger and stronger! Just to share a little bit though...I have started a photography business. It's called Inspired Moments Photography. So I guess only my paper creativity was put on hold and yes even stamping. But change is coming! This little light of mine....I'm going to let is shine!

M.I.A.

I've been out of the loop for awhile! Summer always is sooo busy! Who ever talked about the lazy days of summer must not have had any children! Haha! I'm very humbled to say that I have received some blog awards. I will be adding those to my blog. Thank you so much! All of you are so very kind! Stay tuned for my next posts. Enjoy each and everyday- for each is a gift from God.

Disney Exploding Photo Box

 
 
 
 
This was such a fun box to make! The directions are from a Close To My Heart consultant and I am so sorry that I don't remember your name so please leave a comment and take credit for this fun project :0) Creative Memories had the perfect paper pack called Disney Vacation Power Palette kit (637602) We went there in 2007 so it was time for me to get some of the photos scrapped! My daughters and I had a great time looking through all of the pictures. I still have tons more to scrap, but at least I got a start! My husband, Les was even excited to check out my project when I was finished. Thanks honey!

Announcing Princess Emily!

 
It isn't to often that Emily will let me get her all dress up AND pose for the camera. She had just gotten her hair cut and even let me curl it. She is always such a cutie, but, today she is a princess!

A new found addiction!

 
As if paper crafting isn't enough- I have discovered the fabulous pasttime of knitting! My husband is so excited(haha). He simply asks when I'm going to finish our childrens scrapbook and I say finish? If I have my camera in hand and all the wonderful Close To My Heart goodies how can I ever really finish? He just doesn't seem to understand(sigh). But, I think once he is snuggled under a nice,warm knitted blanket he won't mind. That will be sometime in the distant future since it is 85 degrees out now! Gives me time to practice!

Just Be You! card

 
 
 
 
I just love the new Bella paper pack! I did up this cute little card for a Close To My Heart unit swap and it is perfect for this time of the year! I adapted a card sketch from the Originals Card Confidance Program(9032) This book is great if you have a mental block when it comes to creating a card. I used the level 2 paper pack Bella(X7114B) The sweet baby in the pot is stamped using Flower Child(D1248)and colored with watercolor pencils(3505) and then I used a blending pen(3174)to softed the colors. I also used the stamp set Treasures of the heart(C1271) on the front and inside. The flower is from the Just Blooms Big Pinks(Z1033) and a pewter bitty brad(Z199)to attach it.
