Bella Blvd | So Lucky...

Hi there friends! Today I want to share my inspiration layout that's up on the Bella Blvd blog today! The design team were given an image of a shamrock/four-leaf clover and I literally transferred the patchwork idea & shape, directly to my layout! 

"So Lucky"

products used: cs - American Crafts; pp - Bella Blvd; alpha - Bella Blvd; other - Bella Blvd: enamel hearts, chipboard; paint, embroidery floss; tools - typewriter, silhouette portrait.

This story documents a tiny snippet of friendship between these two rascals! I love them both to pieces, my youngest son and his bestie, but boy... they can get into mischief! LOL! And to look at them, you'd think they were the most innocent creatures on this earth! HA! Don't. be. fooled. *wink*

Anyway, if you'd like to see more on how this layout was created and the more subtle ways this Pinterest photo inspired me, head on over to the Bella Blvd blog.  I'd love to see you there.

JOT Magazine + One Little Word | Encourage...

Hello Friends! Welcome to 2016!! I'm very excited to back and playing with paper once again! I don't know about you but sometimes during the school holidays, I get completely lost away from paper crafting and spend the time focusing on my family. Our Summer holidays are no exception. And while I enjoy having a mini break from scrapbooking commitments, I really do relish getting back into documenting our family stories.

Today I want to share my One Little Word for 2016.  It has been on my heart for a few weeks now.

Encourage.

I truly want to embrace this concept for 2016.  It is such a powerful word and so very good for the soul.  It is my sincere hope that I can offer encouragement to others, no matter the circumstances; no matter the environment. I want to be able to encourage my family, friends and even strangers. I'm not entirely sure how I will do this yet. But it will come to me.

And I want to be able to encourage myself to step out of my everyday box and brave new endeavours. I've got new adventures in the wind.

But for today I want to encourage my readers to come and play with the Jot Girls and our  fabulous Jot Magazine January mood board.

I pulled a few things from my stash including an alphabet stamp set from Scraptastic Club (sorry not shown in the pic).

And after playing and shuffling, I created this:
