Scrap Queen

I have been working on scrapbooking my 40th birthday from 2018. I don't often scrapbook myself and in light of that I ended up with several layouts of my party. I figured, why not??? Here is the last one.  I used a sketch from the  Stick It Down  blog.  The Sketch: To Create My Layout: Stampin Up: Kaleidoscope paper pack Diecuts from stash Sweet treats Cricut Cartridge: "happy birthday" From My Kitchen Cartridge: Ice Cream Cone die cut Scenic Route: Chipboard flower frame Washi Tape from my stash - covering the chipboard frame Glitter Brads from my stash A Closer Look: Thank you so much for stopping by! Blessings,

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 ...

It's time for another awesome sketch from the Let's Scrap  blog!  I decided to use some pictures of my kiddos at the park for this sketch! I got me using some of my chipboard in my stash! I don't know about you but sometimes I completely forget what I have until I go on a scrapbooking retreat or day. So, recently I spent 2 weekends in a row scrapbooking with friends away from  home. Usually when I do these scrapping days out I end up going through my stuff to pack it up and then organizing it all when I get home. It's great because I usually find all this stuff that I forget that I have. It was the case here with my chipboard - it's like going to the store and having a small shopping spree. The winner of this sketch is a $15 gift certificate to any online store of your choice! Check out this great sketch: And my take on the sketch: To create this layout I used: From My Kitchen Cricut Cartridge: tabs Small Talk Frames & Tags Cricu...

Welcome back for another Pintrest inspired creation for the Pins to Creation blog !  This week I am featuring a fabulous freezer meals idea that comes from blog  The Test Kitchen of Melissa  . This lady is amazing, I will say this right up front. I highly recommend giving her freezer meals a try, because they truly are good! I tried all of her  Freezer Cooking #2 and I, nor any member of my family, had one complaint. In fact, I will do it all again.  You will, also, find this picture pinned to my Pinterest boards  Stuff I've Done/Tried .  Feel free to visit me on Pinterest and be a follower! Here is a quick list of the meals with my notes in red: Here is the menu for Freezer Cooking Round 2: ·           Chicken Pot Pie (3)  *this is 4-6 servings PER PIE   (I got 4 pies out of this, so good) ·           ShreddedPork...
