How Does Your Garden Grow

1st layout in the books for 2017! 
Sketch n Scrap has a good sketch on their blog to start off the new year! But, before we get to that. Let's lay down some goals, because if you say it out loud (or write it on a blog) you have to keep it up, right?! 

Ok, so here are my crafting goals for this year:

1) Get 2015 in the scrapbooks and be working on 2017 before 2017 ends
2) Make cards ahead of time for birthdays and other such events
3) Actually send said birthday/event cards out in a timely manner
4) Use my Explore to create some home decor projects
5) Actually get my sewing machine out this year
6) Complete some of those Pinterest DIYs that I've wanted to do
7) Crochet something, anything

Ok, that's it. It's a whole year that's ahead of me - totally doable right?!!

Now on to the sketch:



My take:


To create this layout I used:
Recollections: Southern Charm paper stack
Bloom Cricut Cartridge: both titles
stickles
primas
brads

(Disclaimer: Couldn't get a super good pic of this layout - but I promise it actually looks better in person)



My 9 year old wanted to play too! Check out her layout below:




Thanks for stopping by!




Blessings in this new year!

"Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."John 14:17

War Binder

We are now into August and I have been thinking a lot about the fact that school is coming. I have been homeschooling my daughter for the past year and a half. She is now going to go to a Christian school in the fall for junior high. I can't believe that she is in 7th grade already! I am both sad for me and excited for her. One of my favorite things about homeschooling, besides having my daughter home with me everyday, was using my Happy Planner for lesson planning. I love my lists and seeing my week planned out on paper. So, I was thinking through how to make a good use of my Happy Planner this coming year. I a blog post on how to set up a  War Binder . I looked into this War binder thing a little more closely and decided that that is exactly what I wanted to do with my Planner. I spent a lot of time looking around on FB and Pinterest to get ideas and eventually just decided that I just needed to start it.  I have struggled with making time for Bible Study and prayer ...

Let's Scrap - Friends Forever

Since moving away from my home town I don't get to see my old high school/college friends very often. There was a core group of us that hung out beginning in high school and we are all friends still. The one friend that was responsible for all of us meeting and ultimately becoming friends was getting married. It was so fun to all be back together for an evening. What was also fun was seeing all of our children together. Definitely one of those sentimental moments that needs to be scrapbooked and kept for all time! Let's Scrap has a fantastic sketch up on the blog that was perfect for these pictures. This sketch included a fun element: booklet. At first I had some trouble figuring out how to do this but then it became clear. I hope you enjoy the layout and the booklet as pictured for you below. I decided to use the left side of the layout. And I hope you are inspired to try this fun element on your next layout! The Sketch: My Take (on the left side of the...
