This process...

.....seems to be taking FOREVER. Many of you following me on Instagram or my Facebook Page might know what I'm talking about, as I've been sharing stuff there... the fact that life is very busy, and the time I have for myself is very limited, has not helped this process go as fast as I've wanted. My entire office/craftroom/studio is a huge mess, and I cannot wait to finish organizing everything, yet I always get interrupted, or just more important things come up and I have to stop doing what I want to do. Seems like everything takes me FOREVER to finish!Man do we collect stuff!!!
I recently ordered some new pieces of furniture, and had a whole fiasco with that, not ordering everything I needed  from the start, and then needing to order again for the missing pieces I forgot to get. Has that ever happened to you? Oh that was annoying! I finally got the parts, and everything is starting to look good...

There is still a lot I have to do, but slowly, I think I'm finally feeling comfortable in my room. I want a place for everything, and everything to have it's place, and even though it's taking me forever to get everything the way I want to, I have hope that soon it will finally be done and finished. I'll be so content the day when that happens!

Inspiring...

Hello everyone! I'm back!
I want to first start by thanking everyone for all the comments, Facebook messages, and  e-mails in response to my last post. I really appreciate all your support, and all you shared with me in your messages. From many, I also got questions, and I'm going to address one here today.
It seems like many have gone through what I'm going through at the moment, but considering how hard the whole process is, many have just given up, and not really known how to start the whole de-cluterring of craft supplies, as letting go of stuff we once loved so much, seems to be such a hard thing to do.
Well, let me introduce you to something that I think really helped me start, and follow through with my current de-cluterring/organizing process in my craft room. I randomly picked up this book a few weeks back, curious to see what perspective the book would give me. I'm an organized person as is, but I just couldn't figure out what to do to help my craft room/office be what I wanted it to be. Maybe, this book would give me some insight on something I'd never done before? I didn't hesitate, and ordered it. Got it the next day, and started reading right away.

I read the whole book pretty quickly, and got really intrigued by what the author's method of "tidying up" was... I definitely recommend the book. Some things seem quite extreme, but in my opinion a lot of things do make sense, and have really helped me in my process of choosing what tot get rid of, and what to keep, while at the same time feeling happy with the whole process. I don't want to elaborate too much on it, as reading the book in it's entirety will give you a better idea of how everything works.

I'm no way near done with what I want to accomplish in my workspace (I'm so picky it's insane!), but I can honestly say, lots has been done, and so far I have no regrets!

So, to answer the questions: How do you get started? How do you approach it? How do you decide what to keep, how to organize? Read this book. It will definitely help you rationalize, and facilitate the process. It sure helped me. 

Have a great week!

Seriously....

I've been hoping to sit down and update this blog for literally over a month and a half now. Seriously! The end of last year and beginning of this year, have definitely been super duper busy for me, as you might have noticed from my lack of posts and projects. Let's just say it's been crazy, but I'm still standing, and I thank God for that!
I apologize for the lack of posts, but not only have I been running around like a chicken with it's head cut off in the last few months, but I've also suffered from lack of mojo. Don't know if it's related to my crazy busy life at the moment, but I'm really tired of it, and have been wanting to create for quite some time, yet haven't managed to do so.
Every time I've tried to sit down and make something, there has ALWAYS been something that has interrupted me, and or, the fact that I've had no inspiration whatsoever makes me take such a long time to think of anything to make, that by the time I've figured something out, something comes up and I can't even start it!
It's been quite frustrating, and one day it just hit me. I went in my office/studio/craft-room/ whatever you want to call it, and looked all around. I felt overwhelmed. It's no mystery that we as crafters (at least the majority of us), buy a lot more, and faster than we create. There's always something new coming out we just have to have, yet we still have not even touched what we bought a month ago. Can you relate? Over time, things accumulate, and new projects get put on the " I'm going to use that for such and such a project one day," and that day usually never comes, as the cycle continues.

I've been really into creating since 2008, so you can just imagine all the stuff I've accumulated over the years. Yes, a lot of things have brought me a ton of joy, but a lot of things I've learned that I will never be using, because either it's no longer my style, or I have too many other things that are very similar to it. I have done what we call "detashes" of some product in the past, but as I looked at my room filled to the rims with supplies, I realized I needed to do a huge purge of products, and just maybe, that would help me get out of the craft rut I'm in, and allow me to be happy in the space I use to create.

We moved into this house over a year ago, and though I've spent quite a bit of time unpacking, organizing, setting things up, I've never been totally happy with the way it looks, and also of the way some of my 'storage solutions' work for me.  So I've started a journey----going through my stuff and hoping to get some of them to a new home, where they will actually get used.  I posted my first destash video in the middle of February sometime, then a second one last week. I'm currently getting ready to finish filming and releasing a new video with more stuff to sell, and let me tell you, the struggle has been real...even though I have managed to put a lot of stuff in the "sell"pile, there's still a ton of stuff I can't seem to let go off. It's hard, I'm working on it. Just like I'm working on getting creatively active on this platform once again.  Many have seen my 'destash' videos, and emailed me asking if I was not going to create anymore. I am. I'm not stopping. I'm just helping myself get back to it.

Will you join me? Will you stick around while all these things take place, and things fall back into place? Have you felt this way at any time before? How did you handle it? What worked for you? I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below. I always love hearing from you. I know it will take time, but I'm positive I'll get there. I want to get there. I hope you stick around, and that you are still there :)

Bellelive Blog Tour Nomination

Good morning everyone! Hope that everyone that's in the United States had a wonderful 4th of July weekend. It was definitely and actively packed one for me and my family, so I have to admit, I'm super tired starting the week. I cannot wait for Friday to get here already!!! It was a super fun time. Hope you enjoyed yours too, even if you don't celebrate the 4th!

I was nominated as a creative blogger by one of my artsy friends, Ivett Carrillo, to join in on what I like to call, a chain of fun blog hop tours, where so many of us will get to meet new bloggers, get new inspiration, and connect with blogs that will open up our creativity, to new views, new techniques, and new creative experiences.

Click HERE to read Ivett's post if you missed it.

There are four questions all the participants need to answer, before they nominate three other bloggers to continue on the tour. I will answer my four questions, and then lead you to three beautiful, and talented artists, I'm sure you'll love visiting, so make sure you read up until the end!

QUESTIONS

1. What are you working on?

Right now, I have to say I'm working on a lot of things, and not necessarily all "craft" related. I've been working making many design oriented decisions around my house, as we are working on making it into a home, after moving in, in the recent months. Everyone who's moved into a new home, knows exactly all the work it entails in the beginning, so a mist of doing all that,  I've also been able to create here and there...maybe not as often as I would like, but at least I've been creating. I do work from home, so my "me time" is very limited, but I enjoy making things, so no matter what, I always have tons of ideas running through my head that will eventually find their way to my paper, scissors, paint brushes and glue.

Recently, I've been playing with the idea of getting back into making more 12 by 12 scrapbooking layouts, but mixed media keeps calling my name. However, I don't share much at all the mixed media stuff I make. I have been keeping that to myself for some reason, but have been thinking for quite a while about sharing more when I'm comfortable with it, so I guess it's just a matter of time. 

2. How does your work differ from from other's of it's genre? 

I think my work continuously goes through a metamorphosis of my own raw, development. I'm not a trained artist, scrapbooker, or cardmaker. Everything I know, I've kind of picked up along the way with a lot of trial and error... I have however, taken Copic Marker training, and have actually, taught many others locally about them, and their use, but I'm no expert, and making pretty things has always just come natural to me.  I don't think I follow a specific trend, or style, but I feel I have fun with what I make, and that "fun" always shows on my finished designs, either on the color palette, texture, placement of embellishments, or overall style of project.

3.Why do you write/ create what you do?

I do because it is fun for me. It's my me time where I have an escape from the daily routine, and the stress of daily life. I enjoy making the variety of things I make, and it just makes me happy!

4. How does your writing/creative process work?

To this question I have to say, that there is not one answer I can give. My creative process, just like my style (if I can even say I have one) keeps changing and evolving continuously. My mind goes in all different directions, and as I learn new things everyday, it just allows for change to happen consistently.

Now the blog tour needs to continue, so here are the three creative bloggers I want you to meet:

Lizzy Wurmann
I'm lucky to work with this talented lady, who not only rocks color, but texture as well. She is super sweet, talented, and her art journaling style is one of my favorites!

Damaris Velazquez
Another talented blogger who dabbles in different areas of art, and I think does a super job at it! She recently picked up Project Life, and has done a fabulous job documenting her life with it, and her awesome Smash Books. Super funny, and one of my besties in  Florida state!

Lisa Nazario-Gregory
She is a color genie! or at least, thats how I think of her really! I love how she incorporates lots of color in her work. I have the pleasure of working with her on the Lindy's Stamp Gang team, and her scrapbook pages are gorgeous, gorgeous gorgeous!

Have fun blog hopping, and thanks Ivett for nominating me!

Just for today...ummm maybe, may be not...

So hello there!
I've gotten quite good at the disappearing act, haven't I? I'm so sorry, but if you follow me on any of my social media(see all links on the top right of this site if you are interested in following me), you might have a better grasp at what's going on in my world.
It's been quite the challenge, ever since I moved, to get back in the groove of things. Sometimes I feel like I'm almost there, and then bam, something else happens that stops me from doing what I want to do.
There have been a ton of changes in the last four or five months of my life, and well, my creativity and my time to create has suffered a lot from it. I'm sure all you guys that follow me here, or on my YouTube Channel have noticed.
I't's been quite the adventure to get my craft room into working order. I've revealed little snippets of it on my Instagram account (see link on the top right of this page), yet I'm not happy at all with how it's coming out. For a slight second I was, and then all of a sudden I hated it all......... So much so, that I'm thinking of getting the things out of the room and starting over again! Sounds crazy huh? But things are just not working, and not looking how I want them too, so I'm headed to Ikea once again to try to figure something out LOL. Yes, like my husband says, I have a particular way of wanting to store certain things, and well, I might be a little obsessive on placement, balance and look...hahaha as I type this I can't stop laughing because I agree with him. There are some things that are just silly that get me all bent out of shape, and block me form functioning efficiently. Sad, but true. Good thing is, eventually I find my way, and all goes back to normal.
It's not usual of me to get all personal on here, but I had some time to write, and yes, I do have some particularities too myself that make me who I am......I just can't get over how difficult all this change has been for me in the last few months. I find myself obsessing over little things that never used to matter, and I see the perfectionist in me trying so hard to make things just how I want. It's all been reflecting on this new craft room redo.....Thank God for may loving and patient husband. He loves me so, and just keeps saying, do what makes you happy, I'll support you. Gotta love him!

Anyways, things have not been easy for me, yet I have lots of plans, lots of things I want to do. I want to thank all of you that have hung in there, and my growing list of subscribers, whom even though I've not made as many videos, keep watching, keep commenting, and keep encouraging me everyday.
I kind of like writing just because....I might just do that a little bit more often. Hope you don't mind.
Until next time friends!

Hope everyone has a happy and safe Christmas Eve and Day!

It's almost the middle of summer already!!!

Hello everyone!
Wow, summer is really a busy time for me! I barely get a chance to stop on by, and sit down to share for a few minutes what I've been up to! Shame, shame I tell you, but hopefully things will go back to normal soon.
I have a huge project I need to undertake in the next couple of months, and that is to go through all my computer's documents, organize, trash, and back up many of my files. It's an intimidating job, but someone's got to do it before something goes terribly wrong, right? I've been going back and forth on the idea for a few month's now, but my time has been so busy lately, I barely even get to touch this computer most days. That's definitely summer for ya! My Emily has been loving going swimming, and she recently started dance classes, so little by little more stuff has been added to my schedule. She's growing up so fast!
I don't want to leave you today without sharing a project. I made this card a while ago, but for some reason I can't seem to recall blogging about it here, so this is the perfect time to share. I used one of Sweet Nothing's Stamp Co. stamps for it, and I love the simplicity of it. I colored her using my Copic Markers and I used some Prima paper on it.
I hope you like it, and I look forward to sharing with you many new projects and tutorials soon. In the meantime, I hope you are enjoying the summer with your family, and making the best out of the hot weather. Stay tuned!

Happy New year!

Happy New Year everybody!

It's taken me quite a while to get back here and post, but today is a fantastic start to the New Year Blogging. My beautiful princess has been keeping me very busy, and today she's officially a big girl at three years old. Seems like it was only yesterday when she was in my belly!

It's been quite a challenging few months, but we have managed to get through them, and succeed at reaching our immediate goals. We are so blessed to have this ray of sunshine in our lives, and we couldn't have asked for a more happy, loving, smart, and genuinely sweet girl. She has the best personality, and can be quite the character at times. She makes us laugh, and always keeps us on our toes.
I look forward to seeing her grow up, and pray that she'll be an example for others to follow.
God bless you my child. I love YOU most!

Merry Christmas!

Wishing you a very blessed and Merry Christmas!
Hope you enjoyed it with your loved ones!

Thanks so much for your support!

Scraproom Tour Video

Exciting News and a Purple Hello!

Good afternoon everyone!

So super excited for two reasons, one, my Emily seems to be getting better everyday, and two, I found out that one of my YouTube videos was featured in a national/international publication!!! Super exciting because the video, before it was featured, had about a quarter of a million views, but just today I checked it, and it's gotten way past that mark, and soon enough it will reach the half a million view mark. Talk about awesome!

The funny thing about this is, that this particular video is actually one of my craziest tutorials, because at the time I made it, I did not know how to edit, I was all over the place, and really didn't pay attention to many things I do today. If I were to make that video tutorial again today, with all I know now, I would have done many things differently. Since filming that, I've come along way, and my videos seem to be a little bit more professional I think.  Considering I NEVER submit anything for publishing, even though I'd like to have a project published somewhere, sometime, I just don't have the time to do things like that right now, so it's pretty cool to have other people notice your stuff, without you even submitting it, and have them like it enough to add it on their magazine publication and tell other people to go watch it! Anyways, I don't want to ramble too much about that, but I just wanted to share my excitement with you.

Today I wanted to share a little card I made using one of my Greeting Farm Stamps that I bought, and had never used. I love The Greeting Farm images, and it seems like I keep collecting them, but I fail to start using them right away, so I told myself I had to start using them more, before I continued to collect them.

I used a Spellbinder's die for all the mats behind the image, I colored it with my Copic markers, and I did some paper piecing on her clothes.

I used Echo Park's Springtime Collection, and some purple Coredinations Cardstock. You can see the Glossy Accents I added to the sunglasses for a glossy look. I love that detail.

The sentiment Stamp is from an old American Crafts' set, and I used a Stampin up punch to cut the  piece out. I added some Want to Scrap bling and some prima flowers, and The Twinery twine in front of the card as well. On the inside, I did some layering of the paper, used the same spellbinder's die from the front, and added some bling to bring it all together. Hope you liked it, and like always, more coming soon! :)

Quick Update and an Altered Cup

Hello everyone!

Since a lot of you have been wondering, I wanted to keep you up to date with what's happening with my Emily...I also wanted to take this opportunity to share an altered cup I'd forgotten to share with you.

First things first though...Emily is doing much better...little by little it seems that she's retuning back to her old self. She's finally smiling here and there, something I missed because she truly does smile all day, all the time thank God. She is finally responding to me when I ask her questions, and she has started at least drinking a little bit. She slept through the night last night, and that's the first time in almost a week. She's still on antibiotics, has a terrible cough (her poor little chest hurts every time she coughs), terrible runny nose, and well, since she has not been eating much at all, she's barely had any bowel movements. I know she's lost a ton of weight because she just looks so skinny to me now, but I'm praying she gets some appetite soon, so she can catch up again.

Again, thank you all for all your concern, prayers and well wishes. We appreciate them very much, and are very happy to say, it's looking like we're almost at the end of this terrible time. I'm sure I grew some gray hairs with all that I've been going through lately!

Ok, now for the fun stuff. This is an altered cup I made on the Tim Holtz cruise and totally forgot to share. They sell all sorts of alterable cups out there, and using paper, rub-ons and some distress ink definitely makes them look really nice. You should definitely try one out.

Thanks so much again for all your support, and I'll catch you next time with another project :)

Hi there!

What have you been up to? Any new projects you've been working on? Any new techniques you have discovered? I'd love for you to share with me what's been going on in your neck of the woods hehe. Over on my side, lots has been going on. I have several projects that I have completed, and I'm really exited to share,  I finally just finished recording the Micro Fine Glitter tutorial that I promised I would do, but at the same time, I've been having major issues with my computer since last week argh!!!!
It's amazing how much I use this little gadget, and how much it affects my overall daily "doings" when it's not working like it's supposed to.

I was diligent, and immediately took her for a check up at the Apple store, thinking they'd run a scan, find out the problem, and fix it, but to my surprise, the way to fix the problem, is basically buying a new computer! Sigh.
I could have replaced it that same day if I wanted to, thank God, but I found myself coming back home with my old mac, and with a head full of questions... I'm always very cautious when buying new "technology"......I've been wanting a desktop, but love the convenience of my laptop, but with the new iPad, I've been thinking about that as well...I know I cannot do many of the things I do on my computer right now on the ipad, because basically it's not made for that kind of work, but I do love the portability and features of the it... but at the same time, buying a new desktop, and an ipad, to add to the rest of the computer equipment in my house at the moment, well, does not sit too well with me. I have to make a choice, and that basically is my problem right now, which usually is followed by lots of reading and research. It's just the way I am...
Well, to make the story short, I've been having issues with my pictures, video editing, and so forth on my current computer, and can only share with you today a sneak peek at one of the projects coming up, of which I tool a picture with my iPhone. So for now, that's all I have. I'm oping to get to posting new projects  sometime before Thursday or Friday this week. I'm currently trying to get a handle of all the files on my hard drive.
What do you think the sneak peek project is? Can you guess? I think it's kind of obvious....so excited to share this project!

P.S. Great stuff on sale today at the website. Check it out!

Winner winner chicken dinner & a sneak peek!

Hi there! I promised I would announce the winner of the giveaway shortly after posting my last layout, but it's taken me longer than anticipated to get everything done, and get some down time to sit down and write a little. Sorry! Life just gets in the way sometimes I tell ya! LOL 

Well, I'm here now, and ready to spill the beans, but besides the news of the winner,  I wanted to share a sneak of one of the next projects I'll be sharing with you this coming week. I also wanted to link you to a video I just posted on some crafting products I have for sale. I need to make some room in my craftroom, and the things I'm selling are dies, punches, and other things that are still on their original packages because they were never used.

First, take a look at the peek of one of the next projecst I'll be sharing with you this week.

It's a small shadow box layout that I made for the Lindy's Stamp Gang booth at CHA this winter. You won't believe when I show you the "before" picture,-----what this box looked like. I'm very happy how it turned out, and can't wait to share it with you. I wish I had the time right now to get on the details of it, but I really have no time. It's a miracle I even got time to reveal the winner today. It was driving me nuts that I was keeping everybody waiting!

Congratulations! Please e-mail me your contact information so I can mail you your goodies this coming week.
Thanks again everyone!

Picks for 2011

Just a little video of my favorites and must haves for 2011. Do you have any favorites?
Enjoy!

New new new!

After looking and drooling over all that's coming out at CHA, I can't help but get excited over a few things that I can't wait to get my hands on. First off, Ranger's new Distress Markers. Can you say fabulous? If you love distress inks as much as I do, you'll love these. At first I wasn't too keen on the idea of water based markers (I guess I love my Copics too much lol), but after seeing the demo on them, I am convinced that these are a must have for any stamper. You can watch a demo by Tim Holtz by clicking HERE.

                                                        

You know me and my love for My Mind's Eye, and well, this time they did not disappoint. I'm in love with ALL of their new lines once again. ALL of them!

I also was intrigued by some of the new Prima. The Printery 2 (Almanac Collection) and Song Bird look gorgeous!

And don't mind me saying, but I think some of  Prima's New Fairybelle paper looks very similar to the popular Butterfly Garden Collection that was discontinued by Pink Paislee. It's beautiful!

Talking about Pink Paislee, I love their new London Market Collection!

There were many other interesting and beautiful lines at CHA, but of course I can't fit all of the ones I loved on this post. Just wanted to share a few, but now I'm curious, what are you excited about getting from all the new releases?

CHA was fun

CHA was a blast and I had the opportunity to meet many of the artists I've met through the internet. It was such a fun experience! It's sad though, that on my last day there I lost my video camera, so over half hour of video got lost, which I hoped to share with you. Now I'm on the search to purchase a new one, so pictures is all I have to show for the end of this trip. I picked a few of the many I took. It really was a nice time.

 This next one is the Lindy's Stamp Gang (LSG) Booth, where I demoed product at the show.

This is me and Diane, Graphic 45 head designer and owner. Their booth was fabulous, and everyone was dresses to match. So super cool.

This is the lovely Teresa Collins who is such a sweet lady. Loved meeting her! She was so nice to all of us and we ended up on her blog that day! She called us "The Queens of YouTube". She's so funny, and pretty too!

 And of course I had to take a picture with the man, Tim Holtz. He is just awesome! Love him!

This is me and Heidi Swapp. The girl does not age! Her husband is super sweet too.

Melissa Frances and I. She is soo super nice and her booth was gorgeous. Just gorgeous stuff!

 This next picture was the one featured on the Teresa Collins Blog. So cool we made it there!

 These next ones are me and some of the Lindy's Stamp Gang Design Team. We had a great time together at CHA.

This last picture is me and the LSG girls, Tracey (owner) and Kim, who take care of all your LSG needs. They were great, and we all had a fun experience together. Good times!!!
