As long as we have memories, Yesterday remains.
As long as we have hope, Tomorrow awaits.
As long as we have love, Today is beautiful.
Welcome to Sharon's Blog
I was told that I needed to start "blogging". It's definitely new to me but hey, I'm game! I want this to be a place for me to keep in touch with my friends and share a little about what's going on with me and my family and share a little about my passion - scrapbooking. For those that I've met and have gotten to know from Treasured Memories & More, I hope that we can continue our friendship and love of scrapbooking. Keep in touch - ok?
To keep in touch - leave a comment on one of the posts below or use the link to the right to email me.
I just discovered Spellbinder dies. Love them. They have nice shaped nested dies that double as a diecut or embossed or both. Papertrey Ink also has a clear stamp set that fits these dies perfectly. That's next on my wishlist. I used up more of the same birthday paper.
I've finally been able to walk into my craft room. With a little rearranging and reorganizing I can actually see my table. Since it was time for another family birthday it was a good excuse to get in there and create a card. Plus I have to get jazzed for Christmas cards.
I was in need of a little something for someone's birthday and I found great inspiration from
www.twopeasinabucket.com. This is the
idea I was inspired by.
She reused a Heidi Swapp flower case. I didn't have one but I was able to reuse a brad case - even though it was much smaller. And to think how many of those cases I've thrown away over the years. If anyone knows where the empty cases can be purchased from, please let me know. I would love to have some on hand for those quick and easy little goodies to give out.
I'm glad I'm getting the motivation to make more cards since I have two more events coming up to give me inspiration. Here are two cards I've just recently made. Again just using scraps and the Mother's Day card was even pieces I recycled from a card my Mom gave me.
I found a new site that I love to look at for inspiration and wanted to share it with you. It's called Pencil Lines (http://www.pencillines.com) and they post a sketch and several design layouts showing their interpretation to the sketch. There are a ton of links to other great sites and links to the blogs of the featured designer. You can spend hours getting lost in all the resources. I love looking at other people's work so this is a great site to visit often. Look to the right of this page and I have a list of links. I added Pencil Lines for easy access.
If you haven't already signed up with Google "Reader" it's a service that you can link your favorite blogs and when they are updated it will flag it for you so you know to go visit that site. If you go to Google look under the link "more" and it's there. It helps keep me up to date.
I love it when I can use up scraps. I have gotten so much mileage out of this paper and color combo and the Bazzill stickers and chipboard are so quick and easy to use, I love using them!
Here is another card I made a while back using the same papers and colors.
Wishing everyone a Happy Valentine's Day. Every day should be about Love but it is especially nice to share a day and let the ones you Love know how much they are appreciated.
