Give me hope in the darkness that I will see the light



Hello everyone! I am up with another blog post for Glitz. This Month it is all about being thankful. I am glad with Christmas coming up lots of people haven't forgotten good ol thanksgiving. I am giving thanks for the little moments in my life my husband and I get to create.




We love going on dates and spending time with each other. This pic was taken at the shoreline waiting for Janes addiction and Alice in Chains to come on. We had a great time. When we were much younger (and kidless) we would do this often. Now we are lucky to get to go to a concert once a year. That just makes me more thankful. What are you thankful for? Make sure to go leave a comment on the Glitz blog for a chance to win a prize pack. Did you know that every month they give away prizes? It pays to leave some love! Not only does it make the designers happy but you could win something cool!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving day!

Still looking up



Hello everyone! How was your Halloween? Mine flew by and I didn't decorate one little bit for it! OMG I so wasn't in the Halloween spirit until AFTER Halloween. It went way to fast. Sooo now here it is November. The month of being grateful and thankful and all that. Over at Paper Issues we are having a #30gratefuldays on instagram. Music is such a important thing in my life. I LOVE music. Without it I think I would die.


No but seriously I love it. I wish I could sing well because I would have no problem singing for the world. Even tho my voice is blah I still sing for everyone to hear. Hahaha!




Our new issue also is about the person you are grateful for...


Im grateful for my grandmother. She is a wonderful woman. She helped raise me. I adore her so much.

Also a Glitz DT page.


I played with a little bit of Gesso, ink and stamps. Had some fun making this page.

I have been in a creative slump for a few months now. I mean really to the point where I just didnt wanna look at scrapbooking supplies any more. When this happens (usually every year) I talk myself out of throwing everything away. I have invested to much time, money, memories.... did I mention money? I also hear my husband in the back of my head saying you always start a craft and then move on to the next one. You have a million things you start.... Now I take this as a good thing and a bad thing. I mean I know how to do A LOT, but I also HAVE a lot. Yarn, embroidery floss, paint, silk screen kit, plaster, clay....You get the picture. So yeah, wait where was I going with this? Oh yeah... Guess I just was over sharing I am in a slump and I am slowly pulling myself out of it...again. Im not gonna promise you will see more of me but I will try. Hahaha! Holidays always seem to make the very little time I do have feel even smaller.

Oh btw most of this awesome stuff you can find in the paper issues store. If you use my code awesomepants you can get 20% off your ENTIRE order! What?! Do it! :)

The Zombies were having fun



Hello! Have I got a fun blog post to share with you today! Glitz teamed up with Prima to make and giveaway some really Neat stuff! It is a match made in heaven... Or maybe I should say the graveyard! LOL! Anyway thanks for stopping by and hope this hop gives you some halloween inspiration!




I love buying those dollar frames at Michaels. I never know what I am going to do with them when I buy them but I know one day I will use them. I mean you cant beat a dollar especially when you can make something super cool like this. I am gonna set this on my mantel. I used the prima diamond stencil and some modeling paste. I love how it turned out! I think I will be using that stencil for a lot more.



This page I made of me one halloween. I love the Raven collection it has just enough vintage feel. The prima chalkboard tags and flowers from Prima add so much dimension and layers to my page.

Thanks for stopping by! Make sure to stop by the glitz blog for a chance to win some really neat prizes!

I knew you were trouble when you walked in

Oh man time to play catch up. These months are flying by at record speed. I have not one halloween decoration up. Luckily I have watched a billion and one scary movies. If you follow me on netflix you can see what those movies are and what I thought of them. Honestly I have watched to many to keep track. Some not so great.

My October in pictures

I have been in a total creative slump lately. I mean really. Part of me was thinking maybe its time to hang it up and quit. QUIT?! Really? No. I go through this every year. Some longer then others. This one seems pretty long but I will snap out of it soon. I am hopeful.

I have created a few things here and there. Here is 2 from Glitz. They are my saving grace. The only thing that keeps me going. I seriously haven't even touched my SC kits in months.


To Make matters worse I went to go create today out in my lil space and found rat droppings and YES a rat staring right at me! ACK! SOOOOO now it is time to buy traps and somehow clean the poops up without getting sick. Im a little freaked out. UGH! Grosses me out to think its poop is all over my craft room.


Ok on to sharing my creations haha!



I love Halloween but honestly this year I haven't been able to breath and enjoy ANYTHING. Life is just passing by so quick.

I will say I have changed a big issue in my life. Instead of talking about going to the gym I have started doing it. I am proud to say I have went 4 times in the past week and plan on making it a regular thing before work. It is time to get healthy and get this body into shape! I need to keep thinking positive and keep making small changes.

Next weekend we are off to the haunted houses! I cant wait!

Once I figured it out




This week we are highliting the Giant Rhinestones. Love the extra sparkle and bling they bring to my pages.

Finnley is a baby line but it can be used for so much more. This page is all about the big slide at the fair. We had a wonderful time and I decided to go on the big slide as our last ride. It was pretty creepy walking up the steps but even creepier sitting at the top. I was able to snap a pic tho.



Sparkle and bling! Love them. I love the colors in this line too. The mint green is so pretty.



Thanks for stopping by and checking out my Glitz page! Till next time!
