When All Of My Dreams Are A Heartbeat Away

After sharing my last video Anne asked a question
“Do you know what you want to do before you start? “
Short answer…
I don’t
But I thought I would make another video explaining what I do when I create a page
So this is the page I created
IMG_8418
and here is the video



if you have trouble viewing you can see it here on Youtube

and some close ups
IMG_8419
lovin’ this piece of Tracy Martin Scrapbook Designs digi pattern paper
IMG_8421
and the journaling, on a Chic Tags journal spot along with some gorgeous resin flowers from D-lish Scraps
IMG_8422
Is this how you thought I created?
Could you create this way?
I’ve found it makes me scrapper faster, having everything at hand
So this page took me about 15-20 minutes
How long do you take to complete a page?
Fast or slow it doesn’t matter
It’s all part of the process and the end result is what counts
Bringing that story to life.

The lovely Tracy, from Tracy Martin scrapbook designs,  emailed me this week

which has a special addition just for the hybrid scrapper
AND that kit includes a gorgeous paper
which made me smile and had to create with straight away

Hi Ho The Dairy-Oh

A Guesting We Will Go :) :) :)

I was over the moon to receive an email from the lovely Veronica asking if I would be one of the 5 guests she had picked for August
Yep that’s right 5!! How awesome is that??!!!
So each of us received our little package from Shabby Chic Crafts and each of us had to use the Loving Life Embellishments and have some fun

I created this page

Today was a ‘normal’ Friday, visiting my Great Aunt, and it’s been a wet day, so waiting to see if we have soccer games to attend in the morning or if they will be cancelled… will let you guess which I am hoping for :) Oh you want a clue?? It involves staying warm, dry and clean lol
