Together is the Best Gift - CREATE with Simple Stories

For the past year I have created for the online magazine, CREATE.  This is the last issue that they will be publishing as they move onto other things.

Here is one of the layouts I created for the magazine, this was based on the sketch challenge.

You can see more of the magazine here, for free!

Cool Kid - September CREATE magazine

IS LIVE!  

This was created for the color challenge.

Originally I created this layout with the brown background, 

but changed it to fit the challenge a little better, what do you think?

This was the layout based on the sketch.

I created this layout using the new Simple Stories Summer Vibe collection.

You can see more great summer layouts in the July issue of CREATE!  You can see it here.

This is What Life Looks Like for CREATE magazine

I'm back today sharing another layout I created for the May CREATE magazine (free for downloading or viewing).

I used the Simple Stories Sn@p! pack to create this layout.  

I'm also on the Simple Stories blog today sharing 2 more layouts with the Life Documented collection, hope to see you there!

Pretty Bag for CREATE magazine

The May CREATE magazine is live and here is one of my projects I created for it.  

I started with a Kraft bag from Pebbles Home+Made and then I added some of my favorite Confetti pieces from Maggie Holmes.  I don't normally make bags, but this is hanging in my scrap area, I just love how it turned out!

You can view/download the magazine for free, here!

Thank You - CREATE with Simple Stories

My last assignment for the CREATE magazine was to use a thank you note for your journaling.  I've wanted to make this layout for awhile now to express my gratitude and joy in getting the chance to design for Simple Stories, so this was the perfect opportunity.

Thank you Simple Stories for believing in me!

Building Relationships - CREATE with Simple Stories

We made gingerbread houses for Christmas, but when I saw the wall background from Simple Stories I new that the I AM collection was perfect for this page.

This page was also included in the March CREATE magazine,

 which you can download or view FREE here.

Spring Fun - CREATE with Bella Blvd

The newest edition of CREATE magazine is now live and available for FREE!  Click here to download or view online.

My first page was for the theme of Spring and I used some of the new Bella Blvd to create with.

I originally created one page for a Bella Blvd assignment and the other page for the magazine, but they went so well together that I shared them as a double page.

I will share the other 2 layouts in the next few days.

CREATE January 2015 is live!

More Opportunities - CREATE

I recieved an e-mail a few weeks ago asking if I would like to join the Scrapbook Generations CREATE team.  I thought this would be a stress free way to get to know some other scrapbooking ladies and so I said yes!  

The 2015 CREATE team

Looking forward to the year!

Springtime - not really

Today was a beautiful day out, very springy, but the temp was still a little cold! I had to wake the boys from their naps to go pick up Buggie and didn't put on jackets, they were shivering b/c they were so cold! Poor things. I am really looking forward to spring weather and it doesn't seem like this area can decide what temp it should be at. Tracy did a paint project at school today during art so when she got home she had to show the boys so they have been creating all night. It is a picture of all their hands, this might be one that I will actually hold on to! Marc kept saying he had to go potty and actually grabbed daddy's hand to help him put "bubbles" in the potty. He stood there for probably 5 minutes and actually put bubbles in the potty so he got his potty prize. He is quite proud of himself right now. I'm not sure that I am ready for this potty business again, I'm not very good at it. Tomorrow is another u/s for me at 30 weeks, I guess we will see find out what to expect then (hopefully).
