Yesterday these projects were featured on the Pink Paislee blog! It was so nice to do a guest spot for them and it was very cool to have a chance to play with their new lines-Luxe & Cottage Farms. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Luxe papers-I LOVE them. Graphic patterns of black/white and metallics-perfection! It was killing me waiting for my guest spot to post, because I wanted to keep using the Luxe papers for everything. Now I can use what bits I have left- freely!

black. white. and brights.

.[black. white. and brights.].

I just love a great graphic black and white pattern with pops of brights colors-and even some metallics thrown in! I had some time to spend making a few cards this weekend using up some leftover scraps.

I was the blogger for Friday over at the TCD dt blog. I ended the week of 2 page layouts, it was nice to do a layout again. I used the Memories line for this page...

Keisha I needed that uplift and I knew where to go and get my fix. Your site has made my day. I showed an "expert" scrapper your site and she realized she was a newbie at the game. I giggled like a little schoolgirl. She was awe-struck. You know I love showing you off, I live vicarously through you girlfriend. Love everything you do....

Sorry, I have been working on stuff-good fun stuff! I have a guest spot coming up and I have been working on projects for that-cards & a new mini album. Today I was having some computer troubles, while I waited for my pc to rest I made this quick card. Now I must get back to editing project photos & working on another project.

.[sale-a-bration].

Time is ticking fast before the SU Sale-A-Bration is OVER-Friday March 22!! And then you won't be able to get that cool vine street embossing folder for free if you spend $50. Or a package of the clear vintage faceted buttons-like the one in the center of the butterfly free if you spend $50. Thanks for those who did make an order through Stella MacKay with my hostess code 6H22MY2G. I need to get my order in, we all just have until Friday March 22.

a card filled day.

.[a card filled day].

My weekend wasn't spent on just making cards-I also had to nurse Kiela back from a bit of the flu. Poor thing has had it twice in the past few weeks. Since she felt better yesterday I was able to spend some time making a few cards.

Isn't that funny about dogs? There are four other people in my family, and we can all be sitting together, yet the dogs all come to me. They know who they can count on, that's for sure! Lulu is adorable!

Chevonne, same problem here...Lulu has this thing she started ding a few months ago-she comes and lays her muzzle on my lap and looks at me with HUGE eyes...then I guess what it is she wants. And she only does this to me, lol.

Hi Keisha! You are so inspiring and I enjoy visiting your blog to see what you have been crafting. I also really love seeing photos of your decor for the holidays, as well as photos of your home - it's gorgeous!! I was hoping you could tell me what border punch you used on this layout of Lulu, who, by the way, is quite adorbs!!! (She looks like she has quite a personality.) I've scoured the internet for a look-a-like, as well as your blog trying to find where you may have given the deets on it but I cannot locate any info on it. Would you mind sharing - I love it!!! Thanks!!!

lulu.

.[lulu].

Lulu makes our little family complete! She is doted on by all of us-I like to let everyone know that Lulu loves me the most. I am the one that she comes to when she wants water(always from the bathroom sink), to eat, or when she needs to potty. She knows I am the one she can count on-the others would let her starve, lol!

a mini + 2 cards.

.[a minni + 2 cards].

Today I am sharing some cards and a little mini folder album using TCD Stationary Noted line. I have been working on these for the past couple of days-the mini folder has been on my table for over a month. It took me sometime to figure out what I wanted to do with the mini folder-I wanted to keep it simple. It is hard resisting the urge of piling on the stuff-making it super bulky!! I had to pull myself back a few times, taking away things.

LOVE your cards. I so get the 'mojo' thing. That is why I am trying--though not totally successfully to do things ahead this year. I just need to remember to mail them in time.

OMgosh, I totally can relate. Every year I say I will make & send out Christmas cards-every year I just say it!

So pretty! How do you keep the flower from getting squashed? :)

For a flower like that I put in a box of pages-instead of an album.
