Bloom.

Hi everyone, I have a very special treat for you.....a new freebie!!! I'm so excited to be back designing, I just finished my new kit in just days!! There was creativity just oozing out of me!!!

Anywho, back to the freebie! I simply love this kit! The color combo just fits so nicely together, there's many variations of frames to play with, & the papers are so lovely! & no kit could be complete with elements & I love these elements too!!! I really hope you all love this kit, it is a bitter sweet kit, since it was the last I made back home.

From what my mother told me, one of my father's favorite quotes was "Bloom where you are planted" & I think it is so fitting of my life right now. Some things happen that shake up your entire world, but you must find strength to get what lessons you can out of those hardships. I'm a believer of hope, faith, love, & dreams. Sometimes it is hard to find your way through the dark but fear not because you will see light soon. We all will have our defining moment or moments in life, & I hope all of you will make the best out of them & always have hope! I know I do & I thank the lord for that!!!

Bloom:







I'm so proud of this kit & so thrilled that I have started to design again! I was able to make some LO's show casing this kit, & I really love how they came out!! & I was happy to scrap using my own portraits too!!





You can get your freebie HERE.

Have fun scrapping & as always, if you create a LO using my products, please come back & share with the rest of us!!! I always love to see your work!!
Have a awesome rest of your day!!! Thanks for stopping by!

Oh My! So Much To Share.....

Hello everyone, Have you missed me?? Well I have missed all of you! If you don't know I took a mini break to move...yes again!!! Happy to say we are settled in & I was able to get back to all my wonderful CT's!!! YAY! I truly adore scrapping, it gets my mind off things that are not so great & it let's me be creative!
So I have lots to share & I'll be back with even more fun stuff to share later, but for now here's what I got!

Che, from Che yang Designs has been working hard creating some extremely gorgeous kits, that I have had the pleasure playing with! I'll start with her kit celebrating Halloween & the month of October!

This October Day:



This kit is filled with such fun papers & elements! I love how it's not too overpowering with spooky stuff, but with just the right amount of cuteness!!
Here's a LO I made using this kit:



Love it!!! Her newest kit is called "Family Fun." I love the colors & sweet pattern's & elements! I had a lot of fun playing with this kit!! Here's a preview & my LO's using it:







I really love how these LO's came out!!!

Now to a beautiful kit called "An Autumn Affair to remember." Tina from Creations by Tinamarie, created a delicate kit with soft colors, papers & elements!



So Pretty! Here's a LO I made using the products from this kit:



The next kit I'm going to share is a store collaboration from Little Dreamer Designs. It's called "Spooktacular" & It's a fun Halloween Kit made by the designers. There's so much Halloween inspired goodness jam packed into this mega kit! Here's a LO I created with it so far:





Love this kit, lots & lot's to choose from, making it a great edition to your stash!!
There's also many different styles to fit what your going for with your LO's!

Sharing

Where does the time go? I feel like I've been going 100 miles an hour for months!! It's not that I have so much to do, it's just my mind does!! LOL! Just too much sometimes!
Honestly though, all is good, real good!
Alex is all enrolled in school! She had such a great time with the kids the day I enrolled her! She got to spend some time with about 15 other toddlers for about an hour as I filled out the application! In fact, she didn't want to leave!! She will start, once I get a job. (Hopefully soon!!)
I have had three interviews & have filled out tons of apps. It's a little frustrating, but I know the right thing will come along soon!
We're moving next week! I'm so excited! It's going to be awesome! Alex & I will have our own studio apartment, if you will, in my brother's new house. It's downstairs. So we'll have our own little place! It has it's own kitchen, washer & dryer, bathroom, it's just like a studio! I LOVE IT!!!!

Ok, now for some scrapping!!! Che of Che Yang Designs is back with a sweet sweet kit called, Smell the Roses! Which you can get @ Mscraps! It's 20% off until Monday the 30th, so go pick it up!!! Here's a preview of the kit & my layout using it!!







Such a great kit! I think my favorite thing about this kit was Che's color choice! It's so soft & pretty, girly if you will!! The papers are beautiful & the elements bring just the right touch!!!

Since I'm sharing, I wanted to share some other LO's I did using kit's from my favorite designer, Liz of Paislee Press!!! The last few months with all that is going on, I have no digi scrapbooking fund. Zip, Zero. So you can imagine my delight when I got a birthday card from my mom with a GC in it!!! I went on a paislee press shopping spree!!! Here's some LO's I made!













Whew, that's a lot of sharing!!! Everything was made from Paislee Press. Along with collaborations with TaylorMade Designs, Leora Sanford, & Creashens!!

Well dolls, thanks for stopping by & taking a look @ what's new! Hope you all have an awesome weekend!

From the heart.

Hey everyone! I hope you are all doing well! Just a few things I wanted to share about how we are doing, Alex & I. Things are going ok on the home front. I am still looking for a job, but I hope to get one soon! *cross your fingers for me!!*
I have started the process of getting Alex enrolled into Pre k. I'm so totally excited!! I know she'll just love it!
Things for me have been tough. I am still having some really horrible days, but all I can do it take it one day @ a time! Sometimes I just dwell on the mess of my situation & it's so hard to be positive & see a happy ending. & I know it's there, of course it's there, it just looks soooooo far.
Nick & I have been talking, but he's convinced it is over. Which is hard to hear. I miss him so much. He has decided to join the Navy. Which makes me sad, because I don't know when we'll see him next. =( although I think it will teach him a lot. I am so proud of him.
He deserves to be happy & so do I. He is a great man & has a lot to offer the world. One of the things I love the most about him is that he can make me laugh so hard! I hope he finds what he is looking for & finds out more about himself. I'd love to see him comfortable & confident with who he is. I pray for the best for him.

On a lighter note, I'll be giving a new freebie on Friday, he 23rd of July! So make sure you come back for that, it's a really great kit I'm very proud of! Thanks for stoping by & listening to me be me! It means a lot! Have a great rest of you day, with love Angie xoxo

Mother's Day.

I was sound asleep, when I was awakened by the sound of Alexandra crying. She looked confused (probably cause she was still half asleep!) & was crying that there were bugs in her hair & that they were biting her. She had a bad dream.
I comforted her & let her know it was just a dream & she was fine, mommy was here & she was safe. In that moment I felt wonderful that I could make her feel safe again, which in return made me feel amazing! Being a mother is an amazing blessing! I love my little girl with all my heart. Some days are hard, but I'm so thankful she is here.
To all the woman out there, Happy Mother's day!! I hope that each & everyone of you know, that you are needed & loved by your child/children, friends & family. Have a wonderful day, you deserve it!
