WOW Embossing Powder and Ruby Rock-It!!!

Welcome everyone!

I hope that you have enjoyed this awesome creative 

journey thus far.

Creative hopping is always such

a fantastic idea booster.

For this hop I decided to make this

pretty little postcard with

all things girl in mind.

Just a quick pick me up sentiment to

let that special friend know that they are 

a WOW friend!

The range of WOW Embossing powders used were Vintage Amethyst for

the background along with a dash of Opaque Bright White, and Clear Gloss Ultra High for

the paper clip and wow veneer.

To go along with all the pretty embossing glitter I used the

Country Cookin range from Ruby Rock-It.

A few projects back I had the chance to play a

little bit as well with Ruby Rock-It Handi Scandi and

yummy Orange Fizz from WOW to dazzle this

wood veneer flower.

So, so, so very pretty!

Thanks so much to WOW Embossing Powder for

letting us here at Ruby Rock-It create with you and much thanks as

well to all fans out there who love doing what we do!

Keep creating and be blessed!

Webster's Pages!

With each year the designs just keeps getting better

and better especially for the holidays.

Can you believe it's here already?!

Where did  the year go?!!!

I hope that you enjoy!

This banner is pretty sweet and simple with all the

little cut-outs and such.

I didn't want to complicate it while still adding a

some of me into it.

The line itself makes it so simple for everything to look fantastic.

Yummy gingerbread house!

I couldn't resist taking a few photos of the banner all

bunched together. Look at all the brillaint holiday colors and

sentiments.

With just a few bits and pieces here and there for

this banner turned it into a

holiday decor for years to come.

Ruby Rock-It and Elizabeth Craft Designs Hop!!!

Hello, Hello, Hello all!!!

It's Me

Good morning everyone!

It has been so very long since I have done any

kind of photo series.

Things have been so very jammed packed this

way for a long while.

I had stopped taking pictures all together of anything except

for the instagram pic here and there.

I have to say that I miss it greatly.

My poor abandoned camera had been screaming to

snap some new shots so

I squeezed in some time for this little bit.

I simply named the series It's Me.

No, they are not perfect which is real.

I want to be real and not paint some impossible

person that no one could ever be.

This is me in all my imperfections.

I am not the skinnest, prettiest, most flawless thing

in the world and I am fine with that.

Yes, the battle still goes on inside comparing

myself to others and pretty sure that will always be.

It is always going to be a process learning to

love myself just as well and learning to love others.

The journey never ends.

This is me!

Have a blessed day!!!

Anna Griffin Love

Good morning Friday!

We have made it through week two of school and

the little ones are doing great.

Lots of homework which means lots of homework for me.

Didn't I pay my school dues already?!

LOL!

For me it has been non-stop creating in

the best way.

I now have the honor of designing for the AMAZING

Anna Griffin!!!

I am such amazement of the beauty of her designs.

Pictures just can't due justice at all and 

I have been having such a wonderful time creating.

There are tons of projects in which I would

love to share but let's just start off with a few cards that

were featured in the HSN July show.

It was a nerdy moment for me when

I saw projects of mine on TV.

We say we would never be that way when

something like that comes along but behold we

find ourselves completely silly goofy about it.

This first card focus was on the Cutting Gardens Embossing Folders and Dies.

So very pretty these are that I didn't want to cut into them after embossing.

I especially adore how the leaves came out and look at those

Grace flower stickers.

I used tons of the Grace paper line and embellishments.

For this particular card the focus was on the Autumn Wreath Stamps.

By far this is the coolest stamp system that I have seen.

It allows you to stamp perfect circular images that create detailed wreath designs.

It comes in a set with various designs that can be mixed and matched.

For my final card of today it features the All About Kindness Card Kit.

Everything on this card is from this kit which includes everything

that you would ever need for gorgeous cards.

It is so easy to get that boutique card look with a

few peel and sticks.

I couldn't be more excited about creating for Anna Griffin and

hope to be doing for a while.

Thanks so much for letting me share this fantastic news and

a few creations.

I have not shared pics of our family activities as

of late so I will be posting some of those soon.

Be blessed!

Total Meltdown

Well, well, well it is another mid-week everyone and

I beat a month not posting! LOL!

My little ones are back from their vacation in Tezas as well which

means full speed ahead.

School will be starting back really soon and

mommy is not quite ready for it.

My little Kyra will also be starating pre-school in September.

Sometimes I feel just like my little noodle in

the page below.

Total Meltdown!

Can't you tell that I love this line by Webster's Pages?!

Hello World!

After a day of celebrating her first birthday she

had enough already and wanted out.

I remember this day so clearly.

It took a little bit of icecream to calm things down afterwards.

I cut out tear drops for this page which I thought was super cute and mean all

at the same time.

I also made the mini kites which I am still into.

It is going to be busy for the next few weeks or so getting

everything prepped up and ready to go.

I sure hope that I don't have one of these especially with

Jadon going into the 5th grade this year! 

This is his last year in elementary.

NOOOOOOO!!!

Be blessed all!

Hump Day Inspiration with Webster's Pages

Good morning to everyone!

Has it almost been a month since my last post?!

Well since the little ones are away my hubby and I

have been doing major catching up on

house cleaning and such.

They will be back on the 30th which gives us a

little bit more time to get it all done hopefully.

I have also had quite a bit of creating to do and

just finished a heavy load of assignments.

There are no complaints this way though

hubby might say a few words under his 

breath about the mess I make in the living room. 

LOL!

He supports me all the way in

spite of it all.

It has been a minute or few since I have

shared any of my projects here and thought today

is as good as any to start again.

Webster's Pages has always caught my eye from

the beginning. I can remember some of their first lines and

believe or not I still have some stashed away!

I never imagined that one day I would have the honor and 

pleasure of being on the design team yet

here I am.

I have used two of their gorgeous lines, Sweet Routine and Hello World, to

create these two projects.

These papers and embellies are so yummy!

Here is a gift box that I created for either invitaitons,

cards, a gift, etc.

I created this page featuring Kyra when she was almost two if

I can recall.

The Hello World line is just so perfect for

the photos of those little ones in our lives.

Adorable!

I just love all the owls and little foxes in this line.

Oh, and look at the onsies design on the paper!

I could on and on crafties.

Well, that will do it for me until next time.

I will not let another month pass by me again if

I can help it without posting.

Thanks for stopping in!

Be blessed!
