Things have been crazy in the Marshall house as of late.With a month left until our move across country,my personal health investigation,lots of photoshoots scheduled,and the end of Alexia's first year in school,its no wonder why this blog has been sadly neglected.But I had to share this weeks <a href="http://scrapfit.blogspot.com/">ScrapFit</a> challenge with you.We had a great sketch to work with this week,and those that know me,know that I love to work with a great sketch.The girls had such great interpretations of this sketch,I cannot believe how much greatness came from one single sketch!We would love for y'all to play along at a chance to win the prize from this weeks sponsor:<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/HollyCraftOriginals"><span style="color: #a36314;">Holly Craft

Good Afternoon everyone!I am sharing a new layout for todays <a href="http://scrapfit.blogspot.com/">ScrapFit</a> challenge.It's all about misting!You know how much you love misting.The girls and I came up with some great new ways to play with this technique.I knew right away what i wanted to do for this weeks prompt.I took the time to pick out some old letter and border stickers to use as a mask on my greatest love;Kraft paper.

Let me share that I am so proud of my big girl!She is in Kindergarten this year,and already reading at almost a second grade level.She also loves to use this knowledge to read to her little sisters.How cute is a moment like this!I just had to capture it for a layout.My favorite detail about this layout is the difficult to see use of the hambley transparancy.Yall know i LOVE Hambly!

Good morning!I hope that everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day!Mine was quite low key,including a sweet plant in a paper cup that Alexia grew at school.Poor,sweet child,didn't want me to see my gift until Sunday,and also did not inform her daddy of its need for sun and water,so there it sat in the paper bag since Friday.It is a bit sad and now needs quick re potting,here is hoping I gained a green thumb this year,since I have never been close to having one before..I mean I killed a cactus in High school,its really that bad!haha.I wanted to share another layout using this months Dixie Pieces kit!<br />

Don't you just love how versatile this kit can be.Just adding a mist in the background with color,brought a whole new element to this kit!I also took the time to make up a fun tutorial on the fun chevron arrows(you can click on photos to see better details!)We all know how trendy chevrons are right now,so i was playing around with the striped paper from the kit,and thought that by angling it properly and lining it up,it could make a great chevron!!I put together steps to share!i hope you enjoy it!<br />

Step 1:using your trimmer,cut a large triangle from your patterned paper leaving a horizontal look as so.<br />
Step two:align your paper up on your trimmer as shown,at your size of choice(i chose for this to cut at 1/2 inch for each side)<br />
Step three:rotating your paper to the right once,do the same as step two,creating the other side of your arrow.

Oh where has the week gone?Ive been busy with a photoshoot and preparring for a fun minishoot tomorrow for Mother's Day.I took the time to get this fun layout done.<a href="http://www.simplescrapper.com/">Simple Scrappers</a> is doing a great article on layouts featuring music songs,and I knew right away what I wanted to do!I fell in love with this song the moment I heard it.Colbie Caillet has a way of making me happy with every song she releases,and her new song "brighter than the sun" is no exception.I used it to showcase an older photo of the hubby and I..I lovd how it turned out,using my trusty Hambly print paper and Ormolu tags.<br />

I finally got my new desk done !yay!i will be sure to get pics up to share tomorrow!Before I can break it in,i needed to give my trusty old folded table one more go,by playing along with Elles studio Sketch this week,which you can view <a href="http://ellesstudio.blogspot.com/2012/04/sketch-thursday-042612.html">HERE</a>.I always love thir sketch's.They always seem to be the best mix of simple but open for detailed intrpretation.I also snuck in a challenge from My scrapbook nook for their pre-crop this week in preperation for National Scrapbooking Day!!The challenge was about creating a layout based on a movie genre,I chose a love story,but rather than Hubby and I,i wanted to document the love of my girls for each other.I snapped these pics,playing around indoors for the first time last year.I love how sweet they look all intertwined.<br />

Man,was there ever a storm here lastnight!It started picking up just before bed,but around 4 am is when it really got bad.We were all woken up to thunder so loud,it had to be right over our heads.Once it was soo strong it litterally shook the walls and window panes of our brick home.Today,the ground is drenched,but the sun is slowly making its beautiful appearance.Until it is nice enough to give me motivation to clean,i plan to remain on the computer,encouraging my <strike>laziness</strike> creativity.
I am excited and sad all in one to share this layout today.7 months ago,I was blessed to be asked to join my first kit club as a designer,and I couldn't have been more humbled and happy by this term for <a href="http://dixiepieces.com/">Dixie Pieces</a>.I learned so much and got to work with some super sweet ladies.This kit marks my last Dixie Pieces kit as a designer,and it couldnt have been a more perfect "last" kit.<br />

Mays kit,<a href="http://dixiepieces.com/catalog/music-box-scrapbook-kit-p-231.html">Music Box</a>,is full of amazingness from Prima,websters,and bazzil basics.I must admit,this is not my normal style of products,but it was so fun to play with it for all of those reasons.I created this layout to showcase the AMAZINGLY gorgeous American Craft glitter paper.I cannot do it justice,as it is a million times more gorgeous in person.Don't hesitate to grab yours before they're gone!Thanks for peeking at my layout today!<br />

Happy Tuesday!It has been a VERY warm day today,and I have been outside working on repainting an old desk I found for my scrappy space.I currently use an OLD kitchen table that my mom had before i remember,so I am excited to have something that screams me!I wish time could speed the process,but I should be done in just a few days and cannot wait to share before and after pics!I wanted to share a layout today showcasing one of my favorite trends..the doliy.I love my maya road doiles;the bare kraft look has a special place in my scrappy heart.I created this layout for The new challenge over at <a href="http://www.scrapfit.blogspot.com/">Scrapfit</a> today!<br />

I have been having alot of fun playing along with the girls over at My Scrapbook Nook,they are some of the sweetest girls on the forum!so happy to be a part of it!And there is soo much inspiration there,it is CRAZY!On another note,Baby Kenzie is on the crawl everywhere,the only downside is that she is great at pulling up on every bit of furniture,but not so great at getting back down,causing alot of frustrated cry outs for Mom,but what are the joys of a baby without the occassional blips!I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!<br />

It's out with the old and in with the new over at Dixie Pieces this month.All of the team members took the time to interpret this in our own way,and right away I knew what I wanted to do.I had a stash of some "old" pebbles scrapbook paints.Do you remember when they were all the rage?I just HAD to get one in every color.Fast forward quite a few years,and the new rage adorns most scrappers tables...I am speaking of Mister Hueys,or your mist of choice,of course!I wanted to use both trends,old and new on a unified layout.I am not one for a huge artsy feel on my pages,so i chose to lightly mist some doilies and paint some circles as embellishments.I am happy with the fun look it added to this fun layout!I love the subject of this layout by the way.My girls have a thing about lining their toys up on the window,leaving them for me to find later.It is such a cute thing of their childhood.While today it may make for clutter,i know it will be these little things I will miss the most once they are grown.

I tend to go for the “pretty” photos first, but I need to remember that sometimes those don’t tell the story in the best ways. This is a great reminder that this is alright!<br /><br />Take a peek at the <a href="http://www.simplescrapper.com/2012/03/02/1000-posts-and-its-just-the-beginning/"> post</a> and see what the other team members have to say about some of their favorite articles to date!Its great inspiration for a scrappy Saturday night!<br />Speaking of the awesomeness that is Simple Scrapper,I created this layout for Simple Scrapper using the Premium Membership Template - September 2011 #3,which can be accessed on the site!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN5TQl2uuFJGhB8wWx-RyZc5-7ri9NPuOQ7r7zC4U3yvbyI_c13ey4zoOHBPsYSZEBRACSzCIF_LCKaaUKhyyom7UZBFl6iX6HuTZkZ6pTCmByTHR17fTAni4YW7zqgTxPCE7rN9KZnhMn/s1600/projects_98c54443-276c-48c6-93d5-7a2efd99ffc4_0521910482aa49dfae756f86a0fdcba9.jpg"><img style="display:block;
