My Blog Tour

Since this blog is new and still under some construction I wanted to give you all my personal tour. First we have my beautiful header and background I got from "The Cutest Blog on the Block." They have some amazing backgrounds but this one tells some of my story.  Beautiful brown butterflies flying upwards to higher heights. Love that image!

Next, I have pages I have added here on the sidebar to the right. "My Cards" has a link to my Two Peas in a Bucket account where you can see my work. Two Peas is one of my favorite sites and I love posting my cards there.  I hope you enjoy seeing my card "babies."

Another page is "Who Inspires Me?" I love that I could give some recognition to those who have inspired me in my creative journey.  Guess who my number one cheerleader is? Well, you will have to click over there to see. :)

My last page for now is "Inspiring Music." I was raised in a musical family and surrounded by all sorts of music.  So a few days ago I saw another crafter had her playlist on her blog and I wanted to do the same.  I stumbled on to http://www.playlist.com/ and it was pretty easy setting up the account and choosing my music. They have tons of songs.

So all the songs I picked have messages of strength, love, encouragement and confidence. (Plus they sound good too.) These are the songs I listen to as I chase after my dreams. I hope you can take a little time to enjoy then and be moved by them. It is ok if you want to dance and shake your groove thang to a few of them. Ha Ha Ha!

Well, these are the main features I wanted to show you on this tour. I hope you enjoyed the ride! See you soon!

Happy 1 Year Blog Anniversary

Happy Birthday "Inspired Me" ! Yes, today my blog is one year's old. I remember a year ago I was so excited to start. I wasn't sure what journey this would take me on but now I can say it has been a fantastic so far. Here is the link to my very first post. Finally My First Entry I have met so many new people. I thank you all for visiting my world and cheering for me. You all are the best! I have watched myself grow as an artist. I never thought I would be creative in this way but so glad to see that side of me emerging with more confidence and style. Here are some of the things that happened over this year: Got on my first design team at Scrapping the Moments. Won layout of the week a few times. Attended my 1st Scrapbook Expo.

My Birthday Blog Party

Welcome to my Birthday Blog Party! I am starting my celebration early to fully enjoy my day. My actual birthday is May 29th but why not start early right? :) When I think of birthdays past, they were always such exciting times for me. Many of my birthdays were celebrated with fun parties from my childhood to my young adult years. I loved all of those special parties and to this day, I still love it. Maybe this is where my love for event planning all started. At my 3rd birthday, my parents gave me a big one. I don't really remember but the pictures are so cool. I had lots of kids there, a clown, a little merry-go-round ride and lots of games. I had a white little outfit on and was looking so cute for a Spring party. Boy, I looked so happy! Also, I was brave not to be afraid of the clown, too. My mom was holding me as I blew the candles out. Another year, I had my first slumber party. That was so fun! I invited several friends and ...

Vintage Layout

I wanted to share this layout with you all. I recently submitted a design team application and I had to make a layout. I haven't made a layout in years so it was a nice challenge. I enjoyed making the first one so much I wanted to try another one. This one is dedicated to my sweet grandmother, Thelma Cobbs. This was her college picture back in the 1930's. I just love this picture of her, the sepia tone color and the style is so classic.  Her style has influenced my artistic approach.  I loved all her lace handkerchiefs, hats, gloves, purses and jewel. So I have taken a lot of her traditional, glamours style and use it on my cards and now layouts.  I know she would be so proud to see her fashion sense in my work. Maybe it is my way of keeping her alive and close to me.  Love and miss you Nana! Supplies used are: Webster's Pages patterned paper, Scenic Route rub-on words, Prima flowers, leaves from Michael's, form adhesive on the lady images, cream ribbon and white...
