Took a time out for me today...
and created a page,
about me!
Well, actually, two pages... 
but you will have to wait until tomorrow to see the other side!
I used a page template from Cilenia Curtis' I Love You album
and Marie H Designs' Month to Remember February
both available at Scrap Art Studio.

This kit is very versatile and also comes with some great templates...
even only there were more hours in the day!

 
 
As I always do, in a new year,
I start out with goals, ambitions, resolutions...
and this year is no different.
One of my goals, 
to strengthen my walk,
is spilling over into all parts of my life 
(as I knew it would).
So, I started a faith journal of sorts...
a place to keep inspirational quotes,
scriptures
and such...

Well, here are the first two pages! 
I used Courtney's Digiscrappin' Kiss Me
available at Scrap Art Studio.
This was a fun kit and I am laying out some other pages in my mind! LOL!
 
 
WOW!
I can't believe it has been over a week since I last posted...
and over 7 years since this picture was taken!
It doesn't seem like that long ago 
that he was that little!
I am feeling a little sad and melancholy now...
makes me want to go get him from school,
put in a Scooby movie, 
and snuggle on the couch... 
refusing to let him grow!
But, I think he might not want any mom snuggles (sniff)
even with Scooby as a bribe...
and I think the school might frown a bit on it...
so, instead,
I scrap,
I preserve,
I document,
and
I remember! 

I used Val C Designs Typically You, available at Scrap Art Studio!
 
 
There is a fabulous song by Matt Maher
Hold Us Together.
 "Love will hold us together
Make us a shelter
to weather the storm
And I'll be my brother's keeper
So the whole world will know
That we're not alone"

I have a picture on my iphone,
I can't delete it...
it was a totally unposed shot of 
my awesome hubby 
and our two boys!
Little man is doing amazing now,
he is a happy, 
bouncy, 
energetic
amazing
16 month old
who keeps me on my toes.
And he LOVES his big brother
who also loves and adores him,
so when I saw the Together kit at Scrap Art Studio
I knew that I needed to scrap this photo
and this song...

Remember yesterday's project?
The Together project?
The Scripture ABC book?
Well, I got another page done! 
I used Aria's (Lynn's) part of the 
Together Bundle again.
These 6x6 pages are fast and fun - 
combine that with the amazing parts of this kit 
and viola, a fun page!
all the layers on this one really make me smile!
 
 
is the best place to be!
And the most 
awesome kit 
available right now at
Scrap Art Studio!
Started a new project...
big shocker...huh?
A Scripture ABC book...
a way for me to be reminded to 
walk TOGETHER with God
everyday. 
(Yes, I honestly need a reminder of that!)
For this page, I used Aria's (Lynn's) part of the 
Together Bundle!
It just makes me stop and reflect every time I look at it!
 
 
back to art journaling...
Last night, I started playing with Betty Jo's Coffee Klatsch.
And, I remembered why I started art journaling...
I started art journaling so that my kids would have a record of me,
of my quirks,
my dreams,
my faith, 
my walk, 
my fears,
my laughter,
my love...
ME!

And, for good or bad, 
I have a coffee addiction! 
I am not as bad as some folks I know, 
but I did learn this week that if I don't have any coffee, 
I get a KILLER headache and am a bit "grumps"! 
I haven't always been this way... 
I haven't always liked coffee...
and I wanted my kids to know this...
so...
that means ART JOURNAL! LOL!
These pages were fun to make... 
and when I look at them, they make me smile!
I used Betty Jo's Coffee Klatsch kit
and Cilena Curtis' Flower Art Child Art Dolls
both available at Scrap Art Studio
 
 
Are you on Pinterest?
Are you addicted?
There might be a ten step program, 
but if so, I am not interested! 

I have several (OK, 50) boards...
words of to live by, art journal and faith 
are three of my boards that have really been 
influencing my creating lately!

Recently on my words to live by board, I pinned a poster of
The ABC's of Life. 
I wasn't sure what I wanted to do when I saw it, 
but I knew I needed to pin it...

Well, today it hit me! 
I am going to make an 8x8 art journally book 
all about the ABC's of Life.
I am not sure of the form yet, 
how I am going to do each letter, 
if I am going to follow the poster exactly
or what...
but, I have started, and hey, that's half the battle right?
This page still seems to be missing something... 
not sure what, but, sometimes, if I step away,
the idea hits me...
currently bracing for impact! :)


I used Angie Young's Seeking Calm bundle
available at Scrap Art Studio
A fun bundle with lots of cool collage pieces.
The stitches come from the Scrap Art Studio newsletter freebie.
This newsletter is always fool of fun tips, great ideas, tons of inspiration and the occasional freebie!
 
 
I am so into the bingo cards right now... 
I know, they are probably so retro, but I just am finding them so fun!
and then I saw this quote... 
and
"BINGO"
an idea popped in my head
this quote and the happy bingo card
and the butterfly elements...
it was just perfect for each other!
I used the bingo card from 
Angie Young's Come on Get Happy
and Seeking Calm
at Scrap Art Studio

I hope you like the page, 
the quote and feel 
inspired to get out and create something too!

Have a scrap worthy day!
