The saying above was my starting point in creating a brand new altered box project. I wanted the colors to be vibrant and whimsical at the same time.

VOTE!

Regardless of your views, please make it a point to exercise your right to VOTE. We are all responsible for our individual futures, and electing our leaders is one of those responsibilities. For those of us in Florida, every vote counts!

Early voting!


After an exciting 2 hrs in line at my local library, I exercised my right to vote for the next President of the United States of America.... Barack Obama. Our country needs a change and I believe he is THAT change.

My apologies

I apologize for not posting over the weekend but after a jam-packed weekend at my new job...I am relaxing and will promise to be more diligent in my blog-keeping. Thank you for your patience!

Mini Album: Busted thief


When my sister emailed me this photo of her impish chinese pug, Yoshi, stealing my mom's cell phone I knew I had to create a unique page. I didn't want to make a full 12x12 layout since I am putting this in an 8x8 album. The layout is actually 6x8. It's my first time working with this format but I really liked it.
