Grandpa!

My husband and I have had a great experince over the past 7 months-we had an opportunity to completely fall head over heels in love with the most amazing little boy-Kalup is our first grandson and as you can see Grampa is totally smitten.

Did you notice the stars? I used my cricut and cut them out then scored them from the points of the stars to center of star and then between the points score to center of star; fold and ink, then pinch star slighlty to make it puffy this gives it the 3-D effect.

Thanks for looking!
Hugs, Katie

 

A little about me!

I have been scrapbooking for almost 8 years, I have two beautiful daughters who have been scrapbooking since they could walk. They tried for years to get me to join in the fun but as always I was WAY to busy! Well once I finished nursing school and life settled down some I decided to give it a whirl and guess what!?!? I LOVED it and haven't stopped since.

I even have my own little store! I have to admit it my little shop is soooo cute and inspiring and I am totally in love with it!

I recently challenged my gals to create a layout of {what iNSpiRes u??}. This was a difficult challenge for me because I had to dig down deep in my soul to find out what gives me inspiration.

So what inspires me???? Anything Vintage! Yep, it's true! I am a total vintage girl at heart. From old houses with all the trimmings to antique stores and junk shops. If its older than 1979 than I LOVE LOVE LOVE it! Give me anything old and unique and I will cherish it beyond reason. Even my scrapbook style is shabby vintage.

I do dabble in other styles and create many projects that aren't all shabby or distressed in nature. I just love being creative and when I am able to truely express myself through a shabby vintage craft project it feeds and delights my soul.

If I was asked what item I couldn't live without, I would have to say my distress inks. Did you catch that? {DISTRESS} lol!! Ok, now seriously, I think I would have to say inks, pearls, ribbon, vintage trim, buttons........

So enough about me...for now anyway! Let's move on to the creative and inspiring part of me!
