Happy New Year!

What a fun and productive last couple of weeks It has been! I have been creating away making all kinds of layouts, cards, altered items, mini books. I think I have pretty much covered the entire spectrum creatively this week..haha :-) Below I am sharing a few of my creations using kits from Crop Addict and Creating Inspirations.
I have also had a great time exploring writing again. A couple months ago, I was given the opportunity by Legacy magazine to write an article about my style and techniques with scrapbooking. I was thrilled to have this opportunity and my mind filled with many possibilities of what I could cover in the article. As a kid, I loved writing. My mom still has notebooks-and-notebooks filled with stories and illustrations. I recently sat down and explored these books and laughed as I read how creative my mind was at such a young age. When I entered high school I continued writing and enjoyed working with our campus magazine. I had to remember why I stopped writing. I remember my sophmore English teacher really giving me a hard time with everything I turned in, so it stopped being fun. So I stopped writing. Sad, huh? So it is really nice to remember how much I love writing and be able to dabble in it again :)
