Inspired Me

Are you facing some challenges like quarantine fatigue, medical problems, financial loss, relationship issues? Well in 2019, I was facing surgery and this art helped me successfully get through. In today's "Story Time With.... You Got This" art video I shared the story behind this inspirational art, how I made it and a life lesson I learned. To read the full story with pictures, visit this blog post  HERE . Making this art was so therapeutic and when I hung it up in my home, it continued to support me with its' message of joy, love, confidence, wisdom and kindness. I would look at it everyday and it was a powerful reminder that I can do it! And I DID and feeling great now!!!! :) "You Got This" Art Story Video Link Here Also, in this video I suggested an idea for papercrafters. For example, if you love to scrapbook, you can: 1. Make a layout with your personal message and pictures. 2. Post it on your bookcase, refrigerator door or a special place in your home...

Happy Friday! Hope you have a nice weekend! In today's post, I am sharing a new YouTube video about 25 scrapbook pages I made between March and September of 2020. This has been a record breaking year for me. I have never scrapped this much in one year and I loved every second of it. Being apart of the 2 Peas Refugees papercrafting community has helped fuel my passion with all the fun Google Hangout calls, sketches and challenges they had especially this year.  Join Us! Link Is Here! So I thought it would be fun to do a flip thru of the 25 pages I have made so far. Plus in the video, I pointed out six of my favorites. Take a look!  Video Link Here Here are a few from the video. Do you go back and look at your pages for the year? Try it if you haven't before. My first two pager in years! Loved the colored paste and stencil effect on both pages. Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you were inspired. Have a nice day!
