Friends!

Happy 2015!!!

Lori here from ScrappinMyStressAway.  I am excited to be featured at She's A Sassy Lady today!

One of my resolutions this year is to spend/invest more time with my friends!  I get caught up in my job and being mom.  Many of you know I am a daycare provider 50 hours a week.  I love it most of the time and my biggest bonuses are kisses, smiles and hugs!!

I am also a uniform washing, carpool driving, gatorate fetching and loudly cheering baseball mom,  I am involved with Tanner's school parties and field trips and play dates.  

All of this leaves me partially fulfilled and totally exhausted!!

It is easy to say no thanks when friends call.  It is easy to veg on the couch with a good book.  I am going to start saying yes more often.  I am going to line up a babysitter or evening with Mimi and Papa when Mike's work takes him out of town.

I am not a big wine drinker, but I do enjoy pedicures, shopping, lunch and movies with friends!

I made my sign by selecting this image from the Silhouette store.  I filled in the color and sent it to my printer.  I printed on laminated burlap and trimmed it to fit an 8x8 tin.  The tin is from Michaels in the dollar bins.

I inked the edges of the burlap and glued it to the tin.  I have a tutorial for a similar project HERE.


This is a small sign to remind me of a big resolution!!!  I hope you have a wonderful 2015!!!

Fall 12X12 Scrapbook Layout

Hello!

Donna Lee here from StampinNScrapinWithDonnaLee. Hope you all are having a very blessed and thankful Thursday.

Today I wanted to share a very simple Fall  scrapbook layout I recently made for my Grand Daughters scrapbook. She was 7 months in this photo.


Using scraps that I had of burlap (love it) and some gorgeous fall ribbon I was able to quickly put this page together.


I had these silk white flowers that I sprayed using some homemade ink sprays. Using a lot of Glue Dots I adhered them to my page and each other. I love this little metal clock. Again more Glue Dots to keep on the page.


I found these little flowers in my stash of embellishments! Oh I love this ribbon!


A little $1 bling from an Expo shopping trip a few years ago added some bling! My sweet girl loves her bling!


No title yet... But I am enjoying looking at it as I ponder this final step. Always open to ideas so feel free to share with your comment. 


Thanks for coming by! Hope to see you again next month! Have a terrific Thursday and hoping you get some craft time!  

Blessings To All!
