Last of the Tickled Pink

I have a few scraps left over to make a few cards, but I managed to get through the rest of the paper. For my last project, I made a paper bag album journal for my weight journey. I have always struggled with my weight. In fact, there was never a time in my life when I was not overweight and that includes when I was a baby. It is easy to blame heredity and genes, but in the end, it comes down to the fact hat I am the only one who can take hold of the problem and try to better myself. So, I created this journal as a tool for me to use, to write down my weight loss/gain and I have included hidden tags, on which I can write what I am feeling, frustrations, etc. I think it will be invaluable for me.



I think it is really ironic that, by using a scallop punch, my tags look like I took bites out of them. (Diet not going well..must eat scrapbook projects!)

5 Minute Tickled Pink

I decided on another 5 minute card challenge. The Tickled Pink stuff was all out anyways. This is what I ended up with and it only took 4 minutes and 16 seconds. Woo hoo!

Tripled Pink

You may be wondering as to the wording of my title. It is because I used our Triple Play as a template for this mini album. If you are wondering what Triple Play is, you will have to visit my website to find out. It is a great special and you will not be disappointed. It starts tomorrow and goes until the end of September or until they run out, so grab one now. They are a lot of fun!

Tickled Pink and Pinker!

One of my all-time favorite paper packs from CTMH has to be Tickled Pink. The stamp set that it came with is also definitely in my top 5! I have some new paper on it’s way from the paper sale, so I thought it was time to use up some of my older paper. Picking through it, I pulled out the Tickled Pink bag and challenged myself to use it all up before the new stuff got here. We shall see if I can do it! Today I created a journal. My mom and my friend and I are going to the Woman’s Journey of Faith conference in November. We get to stay in a hotel and I am so excited. I thought I would make them bit up a goodie bag and am putting a journal in each one. This one is for me, but I plan on making them both one as well…with different paper, of course because this package will be all gone ;)

Lasting Memories Challenge #3

The challenge at Lasting Memories this week is to do some stamping on your layout. That one is not a difficult challenge for me because I live for stamping. I am a stamp addict and I am trying to remember the last time I did a LO without stamping. For this particular LO, I did a lot of stamping. It actually makes me cry when I look at it. I love how it turned out, but it makes me remember how hard it was being a single mom. I wouldn’t trade a second of the time I got to send with William, though. And, it id turn out in the end, as his dad and I smartened up and let God take control of our family. Now, with two little girls added to the mixture, we make a great bunch.
