things that make me smile...
I feel so weird about posting now. People are going through so much around the world. The earthquake is another devastation that we have to think about, pray about.
It’s hard to watch the news; one good thing is that one of the schools that collapsed they can hear kids trapped. They are alive, but buried. It’s always good to be reminded that there is hope. Thanks for sharing your thoughts & prayers...
We need reasons to smile...I know I do! So here are a few photos & things that make me smile...
Sat we went on a rickshaw tour in Old Beijing through some hutongs. It was fun! One of the stops we made was to Guanghua Temple. What a place to take amazing photos. One of the monks came out to chat with the girls. He was so willing to let me take a photo of him & Kiela-I was so thrilled about that. He was so kind, told us that Mira was very beautiful. Sorry for the glare from the sun...
I loved hearing the wind chimes. It was soothing & peaceful
Once again I took tons of photos. Like I don't have enough to edit....
New Making Memories pink & red Glitter Clears flowers-love'em!! I also used MM buttons, 5th ave ribbons, Kid's line dotted pp. Narratives scallop lined pp; Heidi Grace straight pin; Hero Arts stamps(joy/happy definitions, swirl); Martha Stewart simple scallop edge punch
i like to use the straight pins for buttons that have shanks or holes through the sides-like this MM's button!! I also used Martha's simple edge punch on a strip of white cardstock...
I love the new punches that Martha Stewart has-the "doily lace" punch os my fave...I grabbed the doily lace, simple scaollp, embossed heart, and cosmos craft punches since she had a sale during Mother's Day! look in weddings or do a "edge punch" search on her site to find them!!
i will add new studio photos soon...and more Thailand photos to their albums...
Q & A ;)
I really love the colors, love the furniture, and love all your studio! It seems to be so comfortable. As a I was looking at it, I was wondering...what do yo do with all your "scraps"? how do you organize it? I have a big big problem with them, I usually use just a little piece of paper and I have to keep the rest, but now I have a "scrap mess" in my scraproom!
I also love your work!
Keisha..
OMGoodness!! I can only dream of such a beautiful room...I love it! You have such amazing style K!
Quick question....I have been loving all of your awesome photos and was seriously thinking of getting the actions that you use. Do you use PSE or actual Photoshop because I only use PSE6? thanks K!
Also...just wanted to say...thanks for always sharing your work, and all that you do!
Take care!
Cindy
Keisha, I love it. You've done a GREAT job. It's so inviting, you lucky thing! I notice that you use some SU definition stamps, could you please give me an idea as which sets, I'd love to order. SU or Hero Arts, I don't mind. Enjoy your new space!
Keisha, your room looks AMAZING! The glass cabinet is SOOO beautiful! If my studio space looked that inviting (that is, if I HAD a studio space), I don't think I would ever leave it. LOL Thanks for sharing!
Ummm, I have a question... what is that little round thing that is around the large brad on the LO called "Live, Laugh, Love?" It looks like painted metal or something. Is it a grommet?
Hugs!!!

Hi Keisha-
I posted on your message about your new furniture and was asking where you were from, etc. But I think I came across something where you mentioned Detroit...I think it was about your husband being a Tiger fan (as we all are). I'm originally from Canada, just across the river in Windsor. Small world. My husband and I also lived in Novi, MI for several years before moving to California and now we are in Atlanta. When do you head back to Michigan?
Keisha i have been lurking for ages just love your photos they are amazing.I would love to know do you photoshop them as they are always so vibrant and bright.Also what camera doy you use?>Take care Kerry xx
I have to ask..did you do that scallop edge by hand?
First of all let me just say I love your stuff. Secondly, in browsing through your layouts I have noticed you sometimes "frame" your digital pics with a digital fancy outer frame. Where do you get those from??
It looks like a beautiful place! Love all the vibrant pictures. Did you use any photo actions on them...if so, which ones?
Are you still doing the Garden Girl gig at 2 Peas?
Hi Keisha , A vacation is just what I need I feel a bit jealous. I was just on 2 peas and I don't see you under the designers anymore . Whats up ? You are one of my favorite 2 peas . I will be bummed if your gone!
Love those pictures... The yummy brown contrasted with the white sand is great! And I can't believe your hubby would parasail in a country without osha and other safety rules? ha, I am a paranoid about that kind of stuff. Poor Kiela... car sickness is tough. Glad you're back! :)
Hi Keisha, I just came across this blog http://claudinehellmuth.blogspot.com/ about the laws changing about anyone being able to take your photos and use them in advertisements etc. If the bill is passed then this will be the case. For some reason I immediately thought of you and Laura Vegas because both of your photos are beautiful. Check out http://claudinehellmuth.blogspot.com/ where it has all the info in detail and there's forms apparently you can fill out to prevent this bill being passed.
Glad that you are ok over in China. I just came back actually. I wonder how long does it take for you to get ur package of scrapbook material which I assume you are ordering online. Or you've found a scrapbook store there.
TQ


















































I love everything!! Your studio is AWESOME! How did you decide what you wanted? And, how big is your space? We are moving from North Carolina to Arizona very soon, and the house we are looking at has a garage we are going to enclose. I want to make sure that I have enough space after we put the master and master bath in the garage [well... we are making that space part of the house].
