Love is in the air!

So how do you feel about valentine's day? Well some love it....some hate it!! But either way it gives me an excuse to make a few cute things...right? Well just wanted to share a few things that I have been inspired by lately! Hope you enjoy!!

Hopefully, all the schools are closed tomorrow and everything is iced over....and I can stay in all day and scrap!!! I'm crossing my fingers!!!

Yes those are cupcake tins that Jenni Bowlin has designed for this CHA.....and yes...Ashley will have them in the store!! I mean the possibilities are endless!! Can't wait to get my hands on these!! Lacey Moate these were made for you!!! I know you will be buying these in bulk!!

Love this simple layout by Elizabeth Kartchner .... but really... I love everything this chick does!!

Here is some great photography I have recently discovered and oh so in love with!!

How fab is this one?? Love it..."You were my happy ending"....I will definitely be stealing that for a title on a soon to come layout!!

Have a good one!!
XOXO,
Vera

Check out the new look!

Well Hello Bloggers!!

It has definitely been a while....I think a little too long...don't you think? Well thanks for stopping by I have changed things up a bit but hopefully I'll give you a little inspiration!
I have so much to share with you guys...especially all the projects and layouts that I have been working on these days!

If you guys haven't been to one of Ashley's crops at Inspire Scrap Boutique...you really need to come on down to the next one....which will be the Feb. 4th weekend

So here are a few things I got down while croppin at the store! 

A little Valentine's Day Layout for your viewing pleasure: 

So if you are still trying to catch up on Christmas here is one for you:

The title is "Santa is Coming" and I was excited to use my Melissa Frances mini frames...I printed really small pictures to fit into the frames!

I guess it was holiday scrappin this go around....because I did a Mardi Gras layout too!

So a lot of these layouts I created to put in my yearly calendar that I made this year....each month features a different 12x12 layout....in April my little girl turns one (yeah...I know....not already....but yes!!)  I think she is just so blessed to have the father that she has. I am so blessed to see my husband with her...it is just too sweet!

Wishing it was summer time right about now....

And...."A Typical Saturday" at my house....kids all around me while I attempt to do something crafty!!

Hope you enjoy!

XOXO

A Duathlon and a Scrap book class...what a day!

So...I know...I have waited way to long to post!! But, I have been doing a little bit of creating here and there on top of training for a triathlon (completed that last month) and today I completed a duathlon (a duathlon is a run, bike, run)!! I am so proud of my sister in law Semonne....today she completed her very first race! Semonne has been working really hard training with her best friend Lacey and they rocked at the race today!! It was so much fun and as always...completing one only makes me more motivated to train again and harder!!

Jacques and Seth woke up early and came support us! 

Tonight I taught a class at Ashley's new store (Inspire Scrap Boutique)....her store has turned out lovely and if you haven't already been...what are you waiting for....you need to get yourself there now!! I taught an altered home decor project to a wonderful group of ladies! I met some new scrapbooking friends too and I really look forward to scrapping with them again!!

So, this past week my brother's girlfriend, Erika came over for a visit and I created some cards, a bulletin board, and some precious little magnets for one of her new sorority sisters. Erika is a Sigma at Nicholls and there colors are purple and white...so I kept with the same color scheme for all 6 cards. I used lots of Glitz paper (Plum Crazy line) because it is so fitting for Sigma!

Here is the bulletin/magnet board covered with all the cards I made...



 Here are the magnets I made...I used the regular magnets that came with the board, but of course I had to alter them a little bit! I cut a piece of paper the size of the magnet, adhered it down with liquid glue, then I took an older pack of rub on letters that I had and turned the "W's" to the side to create the Sigma Greek letter, after I adhered the rub on, I covered the paper with Ranger's Glossy Accents!

A few samples of the cards I created!

Hope you enjoy! Take care and make sure to do some scrapping....and head down to Inspire for constant inspiration and awesome products!!

XOXO,
Vera
