Timberline Workshop on the go Scrapbook layout - 2 versions :O)

Hello Peeps :O)  did you miss me LOL :O)

 I will try to bombard this blog with some posts and get you back in the loop - its just crazy here - No different from any other time I hear you say haha :O)

SO here is my layout created with the Timberline WOTG - now - to this first version I added Bronze Shimmer trim and the matching Stickease - and its adorable :O)

And this is what I planned on teaching BUT - the Stickease are sold out :O(

So I have had to redesign it by removing all of the Stickease elements and replacing them with stamped or cricut cut items. I have to say that I am pretty happy with the result :O)

I cut the trees using the CTMH Cricut Artbooking Cartridge and tried to keep the layout pretty much the same.  Hope you like it :O)

Remember that Timberline and all of the other papers in this current Idea Book will retire at the end of July so if you need any of them - the time to order is NOW. 

Don't delay - they are selling out fast :O(

I'm back :O)

Hello everyone :O)

Yes I am back from California where I spent a week in the sunshine at the annual CTMH convention.

As much as I love the artwork and the unveiling of new products - I think that I love seeing the friends I have made from around the country even more xx

A terrible sinus infection and double ear infection has wiped me out - followed by intense back pain this morning so I am lying here flat on my back with the computer propped up on pillows while I attempt to type one-handedly.

My life is never boring !!!!

The artwork I created for Extravaganza will start to post August 1st when the new idea book is released so you will have to be patient just a little while longer :O)

hope everyone had a wonderful July 4th celebration.

Much love, Sara xxx

Leo's 18th Birthday Card

Leo loved his birthday card - I can't believe my baby is 18 already!!! You blink and miss it.

Here I raided my stash of metal accents and large grey sparkles from the Halloween assortment.

Lots of Birlap ribbon and paper from the Frosted paper pack added pattern to the Desert Sand Base.

I dry embossed the Outdoor Denim cardstock accent peice.

I used the Cork numbers for more texture and the Colonial White color ready seam binding ribbon.

I was really happy with it - Hope you like it too 

Its that time of year again !!!

I KNOW - I was doing so well with months and months of posts regularly from Mondays through to Fridays - and now for the last 2 weeks - NOTHING!!!

You all know why ............!     I am creating for Convention , trying to teach both jobs, dealing with a graduating high school senior - which equals working 7 days a week - so my poor little blog gets forgotten.

So with all of that in mind - please hang on - don't give up on me - and I will try to post artwork when I can between now and the end of the month when I head for California to teach at the Close To My Heart Convention xxxxx
Love Sara xxxx
