Oh Snap!!! I'm picturing a blog post with lots of pics!

I'm sitting in really warm Elk Grove where I'm visiting my good friend, Gina Lideros. We are having a blast!!!
I want to tell ya about my time here but I gotta tell you about the last two weeks.
I got home on Monday from a fantastic trip to southern California. I had such a great time! My friend, Sherry Mendoza put together an event called, Camp Mojo and it was a blast! I taught classes at Stamping Details during the day and scrapped with friends at night. Before we went to the location we decided to take pictures because we all happen to match. There were sunflowers in a vase and we just popped them out and had a field day! LOL Here are a few of the pics.

 

I got home on Monday and headed to Elk Grove with Sierra on Wednesday night. We've been here this entire time! We are having such an amazing time!!!

Every time Gina and I get together we do the following:

Eat at Chick-fil-a and Chevys. We go to Leatherbys for ice cream. We go to Michaels, Joanns, and Target. We go to Homegoods and pass by Starbucks.

NOW....we are going to add Reflexology to the mix! I'm so happy!!!

 

Since I've been here, I've done three photo shoots!!!!

Here are just a few of the pictures of some of the shoots.

 

 

It was so much fun shooting them!!! They are such pretty girls!

Here are two layouts that I did using the pictures.

 

I'm working on another one but I'm not done yet. I'll post soon.

Which one of these pictures is your favorite????

 

Thanks for stopping by!!! This weekend I'll be at one of my favorite stores, Ever After!! Come and see me.

 

Hugs,

new projects and more!! (picture heavy)

Over the weekend I went to a farewell crop for Patti Snyder. Had a lot of fun with everyone! We didn't stay the whole time because my friend Lisa's husband was making us dinner. He was so sweet to do that and it was so yummy!! We decided to continue to crop and had a lot of fun!!

Love Gina and Lisa!!! I can't believe we didn't take any pictures while we were scrapping.

Here's a project I created over the weekend.

While I was on my trip to Texas I created a TON!!! I don't know what got into me.
Here are the projects.
Pam, owner of Heart Of Texas Studios gave me one of her albums to play with and I made this bad boy!!

Glitz sent me a whole bunch of products to teach with and this is what I did. :)

 

 These projects will be taught at different stores!!! I'm super excited!!!
Thanks for looking!!
Hugs,

Love to create!

I often get asked how long I've been scrapbooking and every time I think about it...I feel old. Lol
I've been scrapping for about 20 years. I was stamping before that.
I remember scrapping with the most minimal items because there wasn't much back then. It almost blew my mind when I saw my first 12x12 pattern paper. Lol
Now there are more choices than I can even count! We are so lucky!! I love all the colors, styles, and patterns.

Besides all the beautiful papers that there are out there....I love all the other mediums there are to create with.

I love:
Embossing Powder
paints
sprays
gels
pens
etc.

What are your favorites to create with?

Love to create and....WIN a canvas kit!

When I was young I was asked what I wanted to be when I grew up. For a long time the answer was teacher or Dr. but in my heart of hearts...I always wanted to be nothing other than a mom. I loved playing with my dolls and every time I saw a baby I wanted to keep it. LOL  As I got older I thought I better go to school to do something because being a mommy wasn't going to pay the bills. LOL I went to school to be a nurse and let me tell you...that didn't last long! LOL I realized early on that I didn't like blood. I also realized that being a teacher wouldn't work because I didn't like to study and do homework let alone get others to do the same. LOL In the end I went to school to learn business management.

Soon after I became a mom , I realized that yes, that's what I wanted to be. I LOVE being a mom. I  love hugging my kids and telling them over and over again how much I love them.

I also came to realize that I LOVE creating. It's been in me for a long time. I come from a family of extremely creative people. My grandma could cook, design, sew, crotchet, etc. My great uncle could also design and do other things. My dad is extremely creative with his hands and has designed beautiful things for my mom.

I love that I have two passions! My kids and designing. I love that both make my life complete.

My last post I said that I found a quote that I totally loved! It's probably my most favorite one in a long time. I feel that it fits me as an individual. I created a project using the quote. Hope you like it.

"She designed a life she loved"

 I love working on canvas. For those that have been following my work for a long time know that I've published different books and designed my own canvases for many years.

I also love designing on books!! I mean...I LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!

One of my last ones is this one

I'll be teaching this class plus others this weekend at Treasured Memories in Oak Park, Ca. I can't wait!! I have a lot of places that I'm going to be in the next couple months and I'm adding more for the next year. Keep coming back to see where I'll be.

So it's been a while since I did a give away.

For those of you that like the canvas and the book above...

Leave a comment and tell me which project you like and why and the winner will receive a kit!!

You have from now until Monday, October 8th to post.

Thanks for coming to read and check out my blog. I appreciate you leaving a comment.

Hugs,

 

 

 

5 things...

I'm going to admit something....I never know how to start a blog post. I always have a lot to say but I never know how to put it all down in writing. LOL Today I want to tell you some things that I've been grateful for this week.
1. I went with Jeremy to pick out his prom dates flowers. Today we are going to pick up his tuxedo. Even though he's a quiet guy, I know he's excited about his senior ball tomorrow.

2. I went with Angel to help her pick out her dress for the Mary Kay convention. It was great to go with my mom, Ashleigh, and Sierra as well. I adore this picture.

3. I'm grateful for friendships. I love hanging out with girls that inspire me and have amazing personalities.

4. I'm grateful for crafts! I love designing and what it has done for me.

5. I'm grateful for a little girl that has a heart of gold! I have so much fun with her. She's my not so girlie girl. She stands up for what she believes and she is proud of being a "nerd"!

I'm looking forward to this weekend!! I'll be sure to post some pictures. I'd love to hear something you are grateful for this week!! Please share. :) Hugs,

Class is in session....

Hi there peeps!! Guess where I'm at right now? I'll give you a hint...I got on a train to get here. If you guessed...Gina Lidero's house, you are right! I'm here getting assignments done using WOW Embossing Powders. I've been on create and kit mode. Here's what's up. I'm teaching at Ever After Scrapbooks in Vista, Ca in two weeks.

It's going to be a crazy week since I'll be filming in Ohio that same week!!

Have a great evening!!! Hugs,

been creating...

It's been a while since I posted,(thank you for all your sweet reminders, LOL) Since my last post, I've been busy working on several projects for teaching, getting products to stores for their events, and spending time with my beautiful family!! You might think this is funny...I'm finally writing this blog post...while sitting on an almost three hour train ride home. LOL Since I have some time for myself, I'm using it to get caught up with emails, requests, dt stuff, and more! I've been in Elk Grove since early Friday. I've been with my soul sister, Gina Lideros. I know I've said it before, but I'll say it again. I love this girl so much and have so much respect for her. She picked me up at the train station and went to my favorite place...Chick-fil-a!!! We then got home and scrapped our little hearts out! The next day we got up early and drove to Rocklin. Ashley, Julia, Deirdre, Gina, and I scrapped at the amazing Green Tangerines. It was a blast! I gotta give it to them...they have some of the nicest employees, it was so clean, extremely organized, and full of fun products!

I created several projects!!!! Including one book that I'll be teaching at Imaginic in Puerto Rico. It's going to be using WOW Embossing Powder and Simple Stories

Since I got a huge box of My Minds Eye, I thought I'd play with some of that. I LOVE their products!!!

I created more pages that I'll show you later. So I think that's everything for this post. I'll try to update in a couple of days!! :) Lots of great things happening! I'm quite excited!!! Have a wonderful day!
